Case-Mate released a $0.99 cardboard iPhone case as a tongue-in-cheek, recession-appropriate gesture—and people bought them, and drew on them, and now they’ve got a contest to see whose creation is best.

If I’m going to be honest, I kind of expected more from this contest: There aren’t many truly impressive drawings submitted as of now, and the current leader in votes is a virulent anti-Obama nutball creation that looks more like the bumper of an Alabama pick-up truck than an iPhone case. A drawing of Obama as Heath Ledger’s Joker? What does that even mean? You can’t be an anarchist and a socialist at the same time, they’re completely conflicting ideologies. Take a political theory class, Cardboard iPhone Case Drawing Man!
Anyway, I think there are enough badass illustrators among the Giz readership that we could really bust out some impressive entries. I’d love to see what you guys can do—this contest is ripe for a Giz onslaught. Go forth, readers! [Case-Mate via CNET]
