iPhone skate roundup

There’s a company called Uncommon that makes custom iPhone cases that are pretty cool. You can upload your own artwork and through a unique process, they basically bake it onto the case. The image actually penetrates the shell a considerable distance, so it doesn’t simply scratch off two weeks after you buy it. For those of you who aren’t artistically inclined, they also offer collections of cases designed by artists, as well as a Juxtapoz Magazine and Thrasher Magazine collection. The best offering in the Thrasher collection is one that looks like you covered your phone in assorted Thrasher stickers. Of course you could do this yourself, but they wouldn’t protect your phone, and it would look like hell the first time you pulled it out of your pocket. It may seem like I know an inappropriate amount about the product, but that’s because I know a guy who is one of their handful of employees. I got the tour and a chance to peep the classified video. I’ve even been rocking a blank case for the past three months. As a case without blandishment, I’ve got nothing but positive comments. With a graphic, I can only imagine it would be twice as nice. Now considering all this, and especially my insider connection, my only complaint is that there is no Skate and Annoy collection, or even a Killwag Kollection. Come on, I think we could sell at least one GVK edition. Once again, that name is Uncommon. They also do a Blackberry case. Cough, cough. Ahem. Plug. Also in iPhone news: Made For Skate now has a free lite version of their iPhone app. , and several updates. It seems like they update it every month with new content or features. Concrete Wave Magazine dropped a big surprise with their new iPhone app. It offers another extension to their community, the ability to view photos and all advertisements from their current issue, and exclusive discounts arrangements with some vendors, among other things. That last tiny picture is Erik Ellington and Geoff Rowley, the two new spokespersons for the GoSk8 iPhone app.
