Etch A Sketch iPhone case

Posted on | 1 Comment

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.

iSupr8 app – more Super 8 movie shooting for your iPhone

Posted on | Leave a comment

Isupr8

You might recall the 8mm Vintage Camera app we featured a few weeks back. Well, now there's another operating in similar territory – the iSupr8 app for the iPhone.

It's not a million miles away from the other app in theory- shoot video directly from the app, giving it a film-burn just like Super 8 home movies. Once shot, you can watch your video back, save the videos to your camera roll, email them or add to Facebook. There's also the option to use the iPhone's LED spotlight for shooting in the dark.

A video over the page gives you an idea of how it works. Read the reviews of both apps before you go for one, but if you opt for this, it sells for $1.99 or £1.19.

Yes, not only is it a case to keep your iPhone safe, it also turns your cutting-edge smartphone into one that looks like first generation yuppie's phone. Or Del Boy off Only Fools and Horses if you want a lower-rent comparison.

It still gives you access to all the controls and fits 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation iPhones, as well as giving your mates a laugh. Thing is, they might be laughing at you rather than with you. £12.99 gets you one.
