We were taken by this innovative iP*** holster in attractive gunmetal finish, spotted at the Pioneer booth/spacepod. Because nothing says commitment like welding your iGadget right to the wall.
It's not permanently attached, guys. The frame holds it on 3 sides, and the connector holds it up on the bottom. Disconnecting it allows you to slide it out from the bottom.
How can you tell it's a Touch? I looked at iPod Touch photos and at the iPhone in my hand. There are differences in the two, but I don't see those areas clearly in these photos. What am I missing?
the area on the perimiter of the screen is a gray, unpolished finish (it's somewhat hidden by the welding that holds it in place. On the iPhone, there's a brightly polished metal/aluminum/plastic (whatever it is) piece.
Yeah, I saw that the bezel on this unit was sort of dull gray rather than polished/shiny as on my iPhone, but thought it might be an artifact of the photo.
Speaking of the bezel, I wish it were as scratch-resistant as the screen. My screen is pristine but the rest of the phone is all dinged up.
I think this is a worthless thing to comment on, it's a damned display case. And then we get 50 comments figuring out if it's an iPhone or iPod, who gives a flying fart?
but CubeGuy, I DO want to comment on your awesome avatar, very cool! :)

pioneer, i keep going back to them for car units but they can make some seriously ugly junk. also, it's an ipod touch.
devin @ Jan 10th 2008 12:16PM
....... except that it appears to be an ipod touch, not an iPhone.
RyanHell @ Jan 10th 2008 12:21PM

i concur... iPod Touch.

The only thing better than an Ipod touch.... is an Ipod touch mounted to a wall.

Oh! The touch doesn't have a speaker at the top on the front!
Here's to being slow!

The iPhone has a chrome bezel on the front. The touch has a black plastic bezel, the photo above has the black plastic bezel.
Beamey @ Jan 10th 2008 1:25PM
who called it an iPhone?
Hoag @ Jan 10th 2008 1:36PM
Heh - the original post said "Best iPhone case"
The link still says iphone. Looks like they've sneakily edited :)

I never knew engadget was the Ministry of Truth. What will they be changing next

"...innovative iP*** holster..."
What the heck do the 3 stars mean?
iPod = iP** = 2 stars
iPhone = iP**** = 3 stars
Farris @ Jan 10th 2008 1:35PM
Also, I'm dumb because that should have read:
iPhone = iP**** = 4 stars
CubeGuy @ Jan 10th 2008 2:07PM
At first glance, I thought that the screen was cracked.

I'm gonna start a running total of times I get commented on it.

I carry my ipod in one of these! - http://ipodmybaby.com LOL

Hideous.
ScooterDe @ Jan 10th 2008 4:05PM
Just nail it up there. A 6" galvanized should do the trick.
JB @ Jan 10th 2008 5:59PM
hehe, will it blend?
