The best retro iPhone cases

April 24, 2012

Now that everyone is fighting against each other to see who takes the most desaturated photos using Instagram, it’s time to turn your iPhone into a retro gadget and be the coolest kid in the hood.

The 80s mobile phone case is my favourite. I don’t have an iPhone but if I end up buying one the first thing I’ll do will be buying this and downloading Instagram after that, of course.

I love this comment from a customer in Amazon.

Very amusing case, however not the most practical, but once realising how unpractical it was, it added to the amusement.

Well said! Who cares about carrying a brick phone when you can look like Zack Morris? (By the way, click on the photo below and check the Tumblr, amazingness!)

Any 80s lover should own as well the following two cases, just in case you get bored of the brick phone (never!).

Remember spending hours creating a mixtape back in the day? Now you only need to go to Spotify and do some clicks, boring! If you feel nostalgic about real mixtapes you should get this case.

If you miss going to the video store and you want all the latest movies released in VHS, this one is for you.

Here comes another favourite of mine, cause I grew up playing Super Mario on a SNES. In fact I spent my last year of uni playing Donkey Kong on my original Super Nintendo with my neighbour.

The last two are for the Instagram users, so everyone believes that they’re actually using a film camera to take their photos (You’ve probably realized by now how much I love Instagram)

Kodak Instamatic iPhone case via Society6

A recreation of the Kodak Instamatic, the most sold camera during the 60s. To be honest, I actually like this case. Although it’s hard to chose between the Instamatic and the Rolleicord case.
