Our problem isn't that we're waffling on whether or not to buy one of these gorgeous, felt, PlayStation One-shaped iPhone cases. Our problem is that we can't stop buying them. Every time we confirm our order we think of yet another reason we need one. What if we lose the first one in a house fire? What if the second one goes through the wash? What if we want our iPhone to have a different yet identical outfit for every day of the week like Doug Funnie?
We hope you understand our predicament. We also hope you understand why they seem to be temporarily sold out.

If I had a iPhone, I would buy them too, lol. Or maybe a DSG one, lol. Yes, the joke still lives.

Joystiq, why did you have to pour salt in my wounds by mentioning Doug?

I think it tends to sink home the most when you realize you're 12 years old and prematurely balding already.

I have always wanted to catch a rerun episode of that show. I loved that show as a kid and even remember the episode in which kids start wearing the same outfit as Doug due to some somebody famous starting wearing that outfit and Doug shows Skeeter that isn't imitating that person as he has always had multiple outfits for everyday of the week. I just realized that the writer not only made a self referencial joke about cartoon characters always wearing the same outfits, but that he broke the fourth wall.

It was introduced late in the life of the original Playstation. I believe Ape Escape was one of the first games to use it.

Actually the original Dual Shock controller had Joysticks and was out well before the PS2 was ever released. The DS1 wasn't the orignal controller, kind of like how the DS3 wasn't the original PS3 controller.

You can stop buying them now. It's sold out.
I hope you get it! There's something about "Ships from the Phillipines" that makes me nervous.
