DVICE Atom Feed —
... and couldn't bear to sell your iPhone, then you might be interested in the iPhone recession case. Made of recycled cardboard, it comes in flatpack form and you just practice a bit of basic origami to assemble it.
There's a nicely done FAQ on the product page which will tell you if it's waterproof, flammable or will cause you paper cuts — and, most important, if carrying the recession case will make the user awesome. At just 99 cents it's a snip!

We all know that the iPhone is a mugger beacon. But not with this case! Just slip your Jesusphone into it and no one should bother you on the subway. Sure, you may get strange looks tapping away at a cardboard block from fellow passengers, but it’s the subway and there is bound to be someone more weird on it than you.
