    I want one of the AT&T 3G Coverage Map, both for a T-shirt and a case.

    Awesome idea. I dig Threadless, though I don't like that they do everything on American Apparel shirts which are waaaayyy too long. How are you supposed to wear that without it hanging way below any over shirt?

    @The5thElephant: um, tuck it into your pants? :)

    Speaking as a tall person that can rarely find shirts that are actually long enough to properly cover his torso after a couple washes (sometimes even in "tall" sizes, some of the brands only add like one inch, yet charge extra for it, *sigh*), I appreciate long shirts.

    @devwild: Bah! I hate tucking into my pants. Makes me look uptight.

    I just wish they had options as to which shirt you want it printed on. Their earlier shirts shrank way too much and these new ones are too big. There is no balance!

    @matt_mcmhn: Between the lack of it actually working and it being called "i-sketch" it is an unfortunate two strikes. That is not to say it is "out", it is just in a sketchy situation. On my just made up on the spot scale of "would purchase for non-iPhone owners only to piss them off" to "must acquire before being being served as the main course at a cannibalism convention", it is probably closer to the former than latter, unfortunately.

    @Ben Hoback: Props for going out and getting the answers. Would be nice if they knew how to spell "details", though.

    Having done a little (very little) machining in the past, I shudder at this:


    "The case is milled from solid stock providing a very strong unit."

    Hope they're at least recycling everything they machine out.

    When you have a phone case this manly, you don't care about not receiving a signal, because you TAKE the signal.



    And there ain't nothing those panzies at the apple can do about it.

    @TheStateOnDVD2Day_GitEmSteveDa...: Doubtful. The metal of the original iPhone was apparently replaced with plastic to improve reception of its many antennae. Also, the plastic patches on the iPod touch models are there to aid WiFi reception. I'm pretty sure shrouding your phone in metal would make the signal worse. It's a shame, because a metal case could be thin, strong and stylish, something that is rarely seen with iPhone cases.

    @craig_16: You ever see a Faraday cage? It's mesh, and blocks radio signals. Like everyone else is saying, it's going to block some (a lot) signal. The antennas are at the top of the phone anyway.
