iPhone 4 case turns your iPhone into an audio tape

I just went through the case program for my brand new iPhone 4, but I'm still poking around to see if there's one worth buying that I might also pick up in addition to the free one. Like, for example, this awesome audio cassette case from a company called Fred and Friends. It looks like an old plastic audiocassette, but it's actually made of silicone, and it even comes with a little tape box (oh man, I had so many of those back in the day) that flips around into a video stand.

Very, very cool. It's not available yet, but the case is supposed to ship in October for US$20. Yes, if you have an iPhone 4, you've already got a free case from Apple, but man, something this cool might just be worth the extra money anyway.

Speaking of Apple's free case, I never even got mine. Shipped almost a month ago. I finally ordered an Otterbox.

Ive have a couple of boxes with cassette-tapes (c60-c120). Got to test and see if this works with standard cassette cases.

You do understand that this is a silicone case that is made to look like an audio cassette, yes? I can't imagine anyone trying to disassemble an actual cassette and snap their iPhone 4 into half of the shell somehow, but let us know how it works out for you! :-)

I want to like it, but I'm enough of a C90 hound that the little fiddly bits being got wrong would cause me to erupt in nerd rage.

(I used to buy cases of C90s at a time because you could reliably fit an entire album on each side - C60s were just a little too short...)

Have any of you gone to the website? Go ahead. Check out the giant picture of the woman holding what looks like an audio cassette tape to her ear.

Yeah, where can I pay $20 to look like a moron holding this up to my head?

There never has been nor will be such a thing as extra money.
