An Artful Case and Antenna Solution in One! Check These Out!

In a much earlier post, I pointed out the cool iPhone 4 stuff you could find on etsy.com.  It seems a designer there has come up with the coolest, most elegant way to protect your phone's stainless sides and style it up at the same time.  If you haven't seen these yet, you're going to want them for your iPhone 4.  I guarantee it.



The Etsy store designer Lucky Labs is selling the ultimate protection and antenna solution for iPhone 4.  It's stylish.  It's elegant.  And it doesn't alter the iPhone 4's form factor.

This one's red.  But it comes in a wide array of colors.

The solution?  A vinyl decal that's been cut to fit your iPhone 4's stainless steel antenna.  It comes in 3 pieces, in sets of 3, for just $9.99.  You can even mix and match colors in your set of 3, so you can change them out when you get tired of the color you're using.  (Keep in mind though, once you take them off they're probably best thrown away.  Vinyl stretches.)  There are a number of colors to choose from.

So you're probably wondering if they're cheap and crappy-feeling.  Not according to macrumors.com's forums.  Every review there has been very positive, with a few people noting the hole cutouts aren't perfectly aligned, and they leave some stainless steel exposed.  Others on the forum say, however, that if you apply them carefully, it looks great even with a bit of exposed stainless (you don't want people to forget it's under there, after all).

Overall, this looks like an awesome idea.  What colors would you go for on a white iPhone 4?  White on white would be pretty sweet, and I'd bet a black band around your white iPhone 4 would look very unique.  How about red?  Tell us what you think.

Stay tuned for a comprehensive review of this product, as I plan to order a set.
