iPhone, iPhone on the Wall

Finally, someone out there GETS me.

Gizmodo shone light on a brilliant new case for the iPhone.

As I myself am both obsessively vain and concerned about my iPhone's protection, this may be just the thing I've been waiting for, but too bad iLounge is sold out!

See, I've been using the little silver Apple logo on the back of my iPhone as a mirror since I got the phone. It's the perfect size to quickly check for seeds in mt teeth, look at a potential new zit, or even fix my coif.

Here's a rough attempt at illustrating the multi-functional iPhone:

(I have to say it is VERY hard to take a picture of your reflection!)

But with this new case, I might be able to have a full picture and perhaps not looks so bizarre as I try to get the right angle of my shiny forehead, etc.

But a small price to pay for vanity, if I do say so myself.

Does iPhone Really Make Life Simpler?


I have an iPhone. I also carry a blackberry and a 60-GB Video iPod with me in every laptop bag or manpurse. And I'm not alone. I've met others who carry the berry for work, in addition to the iPhone (which I still suspect is for for sex appeal) and the iPod for various reasons.

I'll never be able to move all my songs from iPod to my iPhone (first, it's not big enough, and second, many of the songs were uploaded CD's, so they aren't in my iTunes library).

I also can't commit to the Blackberry for a personal phone. I don't like the web browser and it feels like I'll never escape work. It's also just not as hot of an accessory.

Sadly though, iPhone would never fly to replace my blackberry for work. Typing and the email client both are not integrated enough to keep up with the barrage of emails coming in and out. I also think I will always have a natural tendency to keep my personal and work phones separate. This is super-important for me to be able to separate from work.

How about the rest of iPhone users? Am I the only one who now never leaves home without my iPod, iPhone and Blackberry (valued at just over $1000 when you factor in my Bang & Olufsen A8's)? Maybe I really am more fabulous than I previously thought.
