Hip

Regular readers might recall that we produced a best vintage camera apps article a short time back. If you really want to take that idea to the extreme, you might want to pick up the HipstaCase 100 for the iPhone.

As you might have guessed, this an iPhone 4 case, designed to look like a plastic camera from the 1980s. The one-piece, snap-on case offers 'premium' protection for the iPhone (or iPod touch), a tripod adapter and a wrist lanyard for quick and secure access.

$39.95 is the price at the Hipstamart website.

CM 1980s Legends football manager game hits the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

Footie

Remember we featured Championship Manager 70s Legends for the iPhone a while back? Well, a new version has just landed, taking things on a decade with CM 1980s Legends.

It's much the same, with a few key changes for the era, which means an authentic database of players from the 80s, loads of genuine news stores and images to give a flavour of the era, different start dates in the decade, an 80s retro interface, the option to tie in the game with Facebook and Twitter plus all the detail you crave – formations, commentary, match day build-up etc. If you start in 1986, there's no European football either, just like the real thing.

Sadly there's no 4th division, so no option to recreate Phil Neal's mighty Bolton team of that decade, although presumably John McGovern's crocks are there from earlier in the decade. if you can live with that (and I'm sure you can), £1.79 is the price at the Apple app store.

Etch

You might remember that we featured an Etch A Sketch iPad case some time back, which turned the fashionable tablet into a vintage kids toy. At least in looks anyway. Well, somehow we missed its little brother – the Etch A Sketch iPhone case.

In essence, it does the same thing to your iPhone as it did with the iPad. Although let's be honest, the proportions aren't quite the same with the tablet and iPhone versions. Still, it's guaranteed to catch the eye when you pull out your iPhone on the bus or trains.

Officially licensed and made of impact resistant ABS plastic, you can grab one for $24.99 online.
