This is a tech blog...the iPhone (love it or hate it) is tech. If iPhone coverage gets you in a hissy fit, take a hiatus from tech news, because iPhone coverage is not going anywhere.
on the topic of the bedazzled Jesusphone: I wonder if that affects your iWarranty in any way. Considering how you have to get it serviced whenever your battery begins to flake out, I wonder how the "fruit handlers" will stand in regard to this case-modding.
The encrusting of something with jewels is indeed an age-old practice, but it still doesn't change anything about the iPhone being an item of technology.
Lenovo puts a leather cover on a ThinkPad, and people have been putting leather on things for most of human history (even before people started encrusting things with jewels)...
By your logic, the ThinkPad Reserve Edition isn't exactly tech, and shouldn't be reported upon.

encrusting something with gems isn't exactly tech.
