Cobra Case Poisons Your iPhone’s Aesthetics

As far as we can tell this $65 faux Cobra iPhone case serves three primary purposes: It will prop your phone up, albeit at a very low and awkward angle. It will scare the crap out of anyone not so keen on snakes. (Guilty.) It further reinforces the notion that iPhone user’s should be required…

It might be waterproof to 100 feet, but TAT7’s iPhone Scuba Case only includes three strategically-placed mechanical buttons for launching and operating the default camera app. So updating your Facebook profile from Davy Jones’ locker isn’t going to happen.

These Vintage Cameras Died So Your iPhone Could Have a Hip Place To Dock

It’s getting harder and harder to find film for older SLR cameras. So Etsy seller LaboratorioAltieri guts them and gives them new lives as stylish USB docks for iOS devices.

Skateboarding might not be a crime, but I think a law that would make it illegal to own and use this Skate Deck iPhone case needs to be added to the books ASAP.
