Game Boy iPhone case instantly becomes best of all time

Sadly, there's a good chance you already own an iPhone 3G case if you're the proud owner of an iPhone 3G. That said, there's still nothing stopping you from hopping a flight to Tokyo and replacing your current one with the best case in the history of cases. Sadly, the lad that snapped this shot isn't sure where exactly this thing is sold, but if you're savvy on the details, be sure to holler in comments below.

oh give me a break you winmo fanboys. there hasn't been anything that comes close to the creativity that comes with the iphone. Show me a windows mobile phone that could make this skin look better...or even one that could pull it off....nope i didnt think so.

I'm certainly not a WM fan, but...

"The creativity THAT COMES WITH the iPhone"?

Seriously?

lol

[superhobo Posted Apr 4th 2009 12:53PM]

Yeah, here's the price list:

Creativity packages:
1 flash of inspiration: $0.99
5 flash pack: $3.99
10 flash pack: $7.99
50 flash mega saver pack: only $30

If they flipped that on the other side, made only the small green area see through attached buttons (that push on the captive screen when clicked), this would be an awesome way to make a gameboy emulator.

(of course there would have to be two attachable screen overlays, gameboy classic/gba).

[PeterTheFace Posted Apr 4th 2009 12:29PM]

It's not a case, just a vinyl thingy. If you look next to where the volume buttons are, you'll notice the case stops with a curve, but the gameboy keeps going right to the edge.

I say this as an iPhone custmer... does this need to be on engadget.com??? I mean engadget is going to run a story everytime some paints their iPhone? Why does engadgetmobile even exist???

[gadgetfanboy Posted Apr 4th 2009 2:30PM]

Because its just f'in full of win man. I dont own an iphone (i have two other smartphones) but if i did i'd search high and low for this sucker.

i think the ppl who dont get it grew up with ps2. i grew up with nes and game boy.

and Tuaw....

Akihabara ??

[Alex Posted Apr 4th 2009 1:26PM]

It'd be cool if they made a functional game boy iPhone case. So you could flip your iPhone over and play some old games. I'm sure it wouldn't even have to be that thick either.

[ToniCipriani Posted Apr 4th 2009 3:38PM]

If the case comes bundled with a Game Boy emulator and the screen part is a cutout, it would be doable.

[superhobo Posted Apr 4th 2009 1:39PM]

Adds some value to the device, I admit.

[PowerHouse Posted Apr 4th 2009 1:53PM]

I never owned a Game Boy, but I gotta admit, that looks pretty freakin' cool.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 7:40PM]

How come nobody's given me an iPhone 3G lookalike case for my Gameboy?

[Dusty Posted Apr 4th 2009 2:24PM]

Awesome!

[airmanchairman Posted Apr 4th 2009 2:45PM]

C'mon, fellow Engadget-eers in Nippon-Sama (mighty Japan), spill the beans!

Surely one of you has seen this intriguing sucker in the flesh (or plastic!), or has heard more about it in the local blogosphere or media.

Help us out here, you know we're sad like that.

Curiosity killed the cat, but information brought it back....

[pakkman781 Posted Apr 4th 2009 3:13PM]

Where can I find one for my motofone F3? Relax, relax, I have an iPod touch. That is a case made of 100% win.

And since when did engadget comments turn into a fanboy wars troll fest? Yeeesh. I'm glad I don't usually pay attention to them.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 3:18PM]

The haters are coming out.
Y'all just mad jealous cuz they don't have a sick case for storm,g1,omnia,experia,bold, nokias,etc. Only iPhone it has caused some stir,.don't hate , appreciate.

[ilh Posted Apr 4th 2009 7:38PM]

Some phones don't have stupid scratchable (tm) backs that need protecting...
I don't actually remember the last time I saw any other phone in a case as they're not needed unlike for the iPhone.

[exboy99 Posted Apr 4th 2009 4:21PM]

do want

[SmokemeaKipper Posted Apr 4th 2009 4:57PM]

But, can it play Tetris?

[cooleyandy Posted Apr 4th 2009 9:19PM]

You can get these Stick on Sleeves in Hong Kong. I got one of Totoro :-p

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 6:01PM]

If it wasn't for the games on the iPhone there would be no reason for me to buy one.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 6:14PM]

Does anyone know where to get one?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 9:49PM]

OK fine, I admit it: I totally want one of these for my iPhone 3G. I think its badass.

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 10:17PM]

didn't someone put a phone in a NES controller? and ... didn't everyone think he was a douche to have a nes controller to his ear? is this any better?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 4th 2009 10:26PM]

I don't know what peoples problem is with the iPhone.. i pay 60/month for my phone.. its got 6gb of data, and 500 daytime minutes and unlimited evening and weekend.. and i have my 5... its no more expensive than my Treo was back in the day.. and i only had 512mb of data on that plan..

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 5th 2009 1:19AM]

It looks like Gelaskins, you know.

[myles7701 Posted Apr 5th 2009 7:44AM]

So I'm guessing that no one knows where someone who would want to COULD actually buy one of these?

[rezaudio Posted Apr 6th 2009 5:53AM]

This looks like a vinyl sticker stuck on to the back of the phone with a clear case on top. I did something similar with a Motherboard sticker from these guys:

and the Agent18 clear case:

You can see the result (kind of) at the start of this vid:

Comon people! I wants this! Are you telling me that no one on the allmighty internet can come up with a way to make/buy this!?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 8th 2009 2:17AM]

geekmorgan: Did you get a chance to write up a DIY guide or printable template for this awesome case mod?

[(Unverified) Posted Apr 29th 2009 8:29PM]

found one on ebay. has the black background and looks nowhere near as good as the original. might be worth it though until we find the original
