Watch Now : Virtual Machine Movement with Hyper-V
Fancy giving your iPhone that steampunk look? Here's a case that will do just that.
Created by SFX designer and model maker Paul Marsh, it clips on to the back of an iPhone 4 [1], with suitable spaces for all the buttons, connectors and such.
Says Paul: "The master of these cases was built from hand-picked watch and clock parts, assembled and then moulded in platinum silicone. They are then cast in a durable UV-stable Polyurethane resin impregnated with metal powders.
There's also a 'rusted' version [2], in which brass, bronze, copper and iron powder make for a "perfectly realistic metal rusting and corroding patinas".
Paul is selling the cases on eBay for £30 a pop - the rusted version is £35 - including P&P. ®
