Uncommon

Swanky iPhone case designs from Uncommon. You can even customise them with your own design if you want.

I managed to pick one up from DG Lifestyle store in Vivocity. Kinda surprised to see one of Uncommon's Deflector cases hanging on their shelves, I though I had to order online to get one, which I would rather avoid. There was only one left so obviously I had no other options for the design but what the hell, I'll take it. Cost me $58, which is I believe is cheaper than if I had shipped one from Chicago. It's still fucking expensive, but it's a lot better than an earlier one I purchased, a flimsy piece of shit, paint peeling off all over, for 25 fucking dollars. Here's a picture of the one I purchased


My brother says it's girly and gay, but I say fuck him, because I fucking love this shit. To be honest, I would've chosen a different design or even design it myself if I had the choice but what the fuck! If you don't have a case like this you have no idea how awesome it is to have a cute yet twisted looking girl staring at you on the back of your iPhone 4.

The quality is of the artwork is awesome, the printing is pretty much flawless, the case is tough, although it offers no protection at all for the front of the phone. The only thing I hate about it is how damn tight it is. Once you snap the case on your phone, there's no going back. It's near impossible to remove the fucking thing! Fortunately the design is good enough so that I'm able to reach the volume control and stuff like that. If you plan on removing the case ever so often, stay far far away from the Deflector case. Otherwise, its really a good buy. They also have Capsule Cases, which is also the kind that snaps onto your phone, except that it comes in two parts so I would think it's much easier to remove, although I do find the Deflector a lot sexier. Ah well, my phone and case are now mated for life.

I also bought a pair of Nakamichi in-ear monitors (IEMs) for my iPhone, because Apple's stock earbuds suck. Cose me $48, though I kinda regret not shelling out $20 extra for a better pair of Nakamichis. But still, they're a whole lot better than the stock earbuds, and good enough for my purposes.
