[BONUS] Deer Approved iPhone Skull Case

Marzi Pecen is a friend to deer, a small terry cloth Monkey, and Skull-A-Day. She bought one of Noah's 60. Flower Skull iPhone cases, and let the sweet Snowflake test it out.

This video proves the durability of this case.

For reference, this is what this case looks like...not being handled by a deer.

Skull Case

Krista Moreno stenciled skulls onto her hair roller and make-up case.

I love seeing a customization of a case that many of us use to store our makeup and hair styling supplies. Stencils are nice for a repeating pattern. I like the simplified style of this skull design. I bet the contents make for a hair raising good time.

Skull Case

Everyone we know these days has a set of ear buds(some of us have skulls on ours, go figure), and we all need somewhere to store them when they're not in use. Derek O'Leary has crafted a ceramic case that was a bit inspired by the Skullcandy logo and works wonders on wire management.



This design is as awesome as the idea. It's always the struggle to keep our wires untangled while we still store them in a drawer or some out of the way place. This sculpture case allows for out in the open placement while keeping those crazy cords tamed. I hope this idea gets some recognition for Derek and this product. Sign me up for one! Thanks, Derek.

A Real Skull Case

Liz S. from Salt Lake City writes: "I'm a big fan of the site and have been wanting to submit for a while. I've had this typewriter for a few years and decided that it was just too boring, so I took the fabric off the top of the case and drew on a skull."

Old School C says:

I love the simplicity of this design. The image stands out beautifully on the neutral background like it was meant to be there all along. However, what I like most is the alternative picture you sent us. For all you kids out there who never saw a manual typewriter up close before, this truly is the original laptop.
