’90s-Inspired Case Gives You the Flip iPhone that Apple Never Will

Last year ThumbsUp! created an '80s iPhone case transforming your fancy Apple creation into the clunky bricks of that era. This year the company's back with a '90s iPhone casethat instead gives it the flip-style functionality that none of us actually miss.

While I can't see someone using this for anything other than irony, I will give ThumbsUp! credit since the case—designed to fit the iPhone 4 and 4S—has a working speaker in the lid and an aerial that can be pushed to lock the phone. It should be available sometime in the fall for about $24, sadly without the stylish belt clip that would certainly complete the '90s look. More here.

    Haha, interesting of someone to actually do that. How it does in the market, however, may be another story.

    That's actually great of them to make something like this though I doubt it ever will match Apple's success with the iPhone for obvious reasons. The lack of variation in iPhones for things like flip cases or keyboard's is a big issue that needs resolved though and this proves it.
