The moment I took my iPhone from the box, my first thought was ‘I'm going to break this thing'. It's such a delicate, slippery little glass tablet from the future, the prospect of dropping and smashing it is an ever-present concern. The smart option is of course to get a cover, but it's sort of like asking Katy Perry to wear a skivvy.
Meanwhile, the good folk at Incu have teamed up with the eccentric mavericks at Virgin Mobile to create this series of hardy iPhone covers, which actually look pretty darned good. The original artwork ranges from what appears to be a close-up of grandma's carpet from Lover, a benchtop mosaic from Josh Petherick, a weird feline dream from Something Else and a typically mad-as-a-brush collage from PAM.
All four designs come in both 3G and 4G sizes, with profits going to ReachOut.com, a support service for young people who have bigger things to worry about than their incessantly bleeping mobiles. Until the powers that be unveil the technology behind Penny's watch, these attractive, well-meaning covers will protect your little talky box, ensuring its domination of your life continues unabated.
