The bacon iPhone sleeve: for discerning eyes only

Are you a classy sort of lady or gent? Looking for something understated and sophisticated to adorn your iPhone that says, 'Hey world, I've got refinement to spare'? You're in luck then, as German artist and rising accessories star Antje has created the bacon iPhone sleeve with which to adorn your precious, high-society gadget. It's the perfect thing to go with your meat iPod case, and your actual meat cellphone. Get them while they last for only €25 (or around $31), you foppish bon vivants!

[Thanks, Jesse]

Bacon is like weed everything is better with it

[Sisyphus @ Nov 17th 2008 4:51PM]

Gaffigan agrees.

BIPPITY BOPPITY BACON!

Finally, someone has found the *perfect* way to cater to a major portion of the meatheads out there.

Now all they need to do is make one for all the other sorts of poorly equipped mobile phones being used by other sorts of meatheads.

[Greg Cox @ Nov 17th 2008 1:24AM]

surely your dialog is in jest good sir?

[eggothewaffle @ Nov 17th 2008 1:34AM]

Maybe my comment was a bit *ham*handed, but I don't think I *glazed* over anything.

I believe it was a job *well done.*

[tobin @ Nov 17th 2008 5:33AM]

Eggo,

that would have been funnier if you hadn't used the asterixis.
How are you anyway, still playing guitar i would hope.

[eggothewaffle @ Nov 17th 2008 5:37AM]

Very true, but when you have so much at steak in a place like the slaughterhouse which is Engadget, I am simply too chicken to allow my wordplay to pass through without some "tool tips" for those who aren't the most thoughtful of the sad lot who actually reads these comments.

...And do I know you? :o

[tobin @ Nov 17th 2008 7:19AM]

Maybe, from a long time ago. Probably not though. Used to post on mx. Don't even know if its still there.

[eggothewaffle @ Nov 17th 2008 5:53AM]

Haha, talk about a small world :)

I don't post there much anymore but that place is still stubbornly alive.

[iEye @ Nov 17th 2008 7:40AM]

You know the old saying...

"You don't win friends with salad!"

"You don't win friends with salad!"

[Nabil @ Nov 17th 2008 2:03PM]

Well, that only applies if you can BBQ that sleeve at the BYOBB

[James @ Nov 17th 2008 1:18AM]

So that's what happened to Miss Piggy. I miss my Muppets.

[Valicore @ Nov 17th 2008 7:30AM]

Awwww ahahahahaha

[Li Fan @ Nov 17th 2008 1:27AM]

This is made of Felt (Wool), the actual cost of making it is less than $0.50, the time to make such a simple pocket is less than 30 min if using just bare hands and a bottle of soapy water... what a rip off, lol

[Salsa Shark @ Nov 17th 2008 9:29PM]

If one wanted to buy some bacon felt, hypothetically, who would supply such a delicious craft supply?

[Sofunnytom @ Nov 17th 2008 1:37AM]

that would be so much cooler if it was designed for my mogul instead of that piece of crap

[rTwelve @ Nov 17th 2008 1:54AM]

26 minutes... write it down

[rnikko @ Nov 17th 2008 1:54AM]

How is the iPhone 3G on T-Mobile?

[rTwelve @ Nov 17th 2008 1:55AM]

This is Germany, so I'm guessing that wasn't a sarcastic question?

[lejupp @ Nov 17th 2008 6:40AM]

It is just as good on T-Mobile as it is anywhere else.

[Wulile @ Nov 17th 2008 2:02AM]

This is the greatest day of my entire life.

[Sheepman @ Nov 17th 2008 2:03AM]

Apple and bacon? sounds delicious.

[StalematE @ Nov 17th 2008 1:15PM]

this would be so much cooler if it was made out of actual baccon.

[Patriks7 @ Nov 17th 2008 2:07AM]

Waiting on a comment from iEye or Clak on how fucking cool this is and they will use it as condoms masturbating to pictures of Stevie..

[Haikibutsu @ Nov 17th 2008 2:14AM]

iEye is a dumbass only half the time...

Also, why do they both set their profiles to private? Are they hiding something?

[yopladas @ Nov 17th 2008 2:24AM]

Ya he isin't THAT bad... also are you some kind of stalker? Maby they DON'T want you looking at their profiles...

[Technex @ Nov 17th 2008 5:08AM]

@Haikibutsu

Because people like me will go through all his posts ranking them down.

[Realiti @ Nov 17th 2008 6:55AM]

@Patriks7,

Why swear, kids read these forums too, I don't hide swearing from them, but they don't need some unintelligent gent using swearing to describe the ineptness of other users whom also can't seem to post with out swearing.

I guess I am getting old, and IT people are getting lazy, cant come up with a good line... At least eggothewaffle was clever.

[bill cant fart @ Nov 17th 2008 8:35AM]

Uh oh... Looks like Yopladas is Clak's new account.

[rTwelve @ Nov 17th 2008 7:47PM]

protip: google his name + weblogs blog name

[Tyler @ Nov 17th 2008 2:17AM]

This would go well with my toast wallet! Now, if I only had an iPhone to put in that sleeve o' bacon, mmmmmm..

[YunG @ Nov 17th 2008 2:22AM]

It looks like a smiling cat. (\--/)

[Akio @ Nov 17th 2008 3:36AM]

I think it has more of a cat with its tongue out look....good catch though, I didn't notice it at first glance

[Vianon @ Nov 17th 2008 8:02AM]

A smiling cat after a trip under a lawn mower...

[Danny F. @ Nov 17th 2008 8:17AM]

I went into the comments just to see if anyone noticed the same thing. +1 for you!!!

[cj @ Nov 17th 2008 2:43AM]

Why?

[kyle allen @ Nov 17th 2008 5:13AM]

kuz bacon is basically the 1337est meat of all.

[iEye @ Nov 17th 2008 8:19AM]

why?, it gives men a reason to talk about their "meat"

"Honey, what are you fidgeting with in your pocket?"

-I'm fixing my meat!

-I think I sat on my meat!

-I'm trying to pull out my meat!

-I'm getting my meat for you!

[XIYL @ Nov 17th 2008 5:34AM]

This just makes me want a BLT. But alas, I have not bacon, nor the proper motivation to acquire some.

[Arian Kooshesh @ Nov 17th 2008 7:50AM]

This will sell well in Saudia Arabia for sure!









yes at first that was sarcasm but know this -- my friend in Iran washes with a pig shaped lufa -- an ultimate irony as most middle easterners are muslim, don't eat pork (or any animal that doesn't sweat -- like dog), and thinks pigs are religiously dirty.
so ahha maybe it will sell well.

[Vianon @ Nov 17th 2008 8:05AM]

Explaining it kills the joke...

[Arian Kooshesh @ Nov 17th 2008 8:26AM]

I've stopped assuming that people anywhere in the world know anything about the middle east unless they are from there.

Hopefully 20 people came by my joke and learned something they didn't know -- like why middle easterners don't eat pork.

[ran @ Nov 17th 2008 9:27AM]

Darn it man! I could have wasted my time looking it up. Now I have look for something else to do ='(

[mirakutea @ Nov 17th 2008 8:43AM]

Tacky and tasteless.

[loocas @ Nov 17th 2008 9:04AM]

Next time they introduce a paper wrapper for $99.99...

[Joe Anstine @ Nov 17th 2008 9:11AM]

hahaha I'm sure this will offend self-righteous, animal loving iPhone lovers everywhere. I, on the other hand, now have a strange craving for bacon.

[hustler @ Nov 17th 2008 11:56AM]

Good it's just a sleeve,imagine the real bacon would look like that.

[Sleeblydorf @ Nov 17th 2008 12:41PM]

Apple Inc. = Acme Inc.
Apple customers = Wyle E. Coyote

Heh Heh Heh

[DirtyVegas @ Nov 17th 2008 1:47PM]

The phone in the picture has 12 emails. Someone disable push before the battery runs out.

[fieldcar @ Nov 17th 2008 2:25PM]

No comments on how insanely stupid this product is? You apple fanatics haven't lost your cookies, you tossed them out the window.
Now go put your bunny slippers on your VW bug so the tires dont get cold at night.
