If you're still using terms like "bling" and "pimp your [insert consumable]" to show how down you are with the kids, then perhaps you're also interested in wearing your new iPhone as a belt buckle in support of your poser persona. In fact, why not strap on a set of speakers too and show everyone just how ghetto you really are. Ok, ok, we'll admit, the design (bottom picture) shows some promise and the cats at Maya are only in the early stages (as in, the iPhone's only been out for 13 fargin hours) of their how-to. Besides, we know how desperate you are to show off your new gadget. Believe us,
we know. Peep some early samples of the speaker-less version of the belts after the break.

I would just download Buckle on the app store instead of potentially running my iPhone...
OMG!!! might as well wear a fanny pack. either way you're gonna get jumped.
I would slap somebody for wearing that.
I won't rest until http://www.levis.com or - better yet - a far better value chinese jeans manufacturer releases jeans with a decicated iPhone pocket.
Jesus.
Enough iPhone news.
too funny, i heard they did it in 4 hours as a stunt!
Anyone who wears this and walks around the city is just begging to get jumped.
Besides, it looks ridiculous.
Why not use "fracking" instead of "farging".... much more geek cred, as it comes from Battlestar Galactica.
the belt is pretty cool, but i always thought those types of belts were a bit odd.
Damn. That reminds me of the belt buckle from the first Star Trek movie. Yes, I am that old!
Bling and pimp? You mean those phrases we've heard CONSTANTLY on Engadget for the past two years?

What's next? "The new hotness" isn't so hot anymore? "Rocking an iPhone" won't be so rocking?
I've long wished Engadget would dispense with the nerd slang, but I never thought I'd hear you guys make fun of the very same slang you use!
I want to meet someone who does this. I'll smash the damn thing "accidentally". Why? Not because I hate the iPhone. But because anyone wearing this isn't about using the iPhone for a function but as a way of making themselves feel "special" and bragging to the world about it. Such people are the dregs of society and deserve to have their toys taken away from them. I'm thinking the back of my Sanyo 2300 in direct contact with the screen. Yah forget the satisfying crack of the screen. I'd just like to see their reaction. Fashion trendy assholes.
"Yah forget the satisfying crack of the screen."
"Yah"- and focus on your now-bleeding hand that needs to be stitched up at a hospital. The iPhone's screen is made of glass, not plastic.
One of the greatest features of the iphone is the ability to turn heads in a "that's awesome" type of way. This fellow found a way to hack that feature and mod the iphone to turn heads "I know you are a geek, so I'll rest my case in silence with awkward stares" type of way.

Does anybody know if you can put a version of SQL on the iphone...if so can you provide a link or a name for it?

Hey! Why does my new Baby have 3 eyes!!
Absolutely pimp, indeed! I made one and I'm blinging wearing it right the bling now. In fact, I'm writing this tricked out message on it. People in this urban atmosphere in which I am now standing are all like, "check out that Fashion Trendy Asshole" and shit.
Let it be known that there is absolutely nothing funny about this particular pimping. This is the serious shiznizzle and I have no time for the haterz.
By the way, engadget, you said, "peep some early samples of the speaker-less version of the belts after the break" and I'm really interested in this unusual turn of phrase. "Peep"? Like a marshmallow peep? Like peeple of the world, peep? Help me out here. I'm pimped, blinged and i-phone belted, but I want to be even more down with the kids. I want to peep.
Thanks.
GOSH! If I was writing for Engadget, and I found through these posts that all I'm doing is writing for assholes, I think I'd quit. Quit doggin on the guy and get back to whatever all-important, life-changing thing you were all doing!
D I why...? (heh heh heh)
the new bat-belt?
