We can't stop buying this PS1 iPhone case

by Justin McElroy { Jul 2nd 2009 at 2:45PM }

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.

The Baron @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:48PM

Now that is very cool. Wonder what happens when Sony's legal department sees them though?

Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:49PM

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

ilovethewaggle @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:56PM

They should have said skeeter, yellow lightning bolt beats green sweater vest any day of the week.

i know. it's sad. so, so, sad.

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

OH WEE OHHHH

KILLER TOFU

Abraham Morejon @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:27PM

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.

Shmil @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:28PM

@Moptimus
Did you too go through a childhood with the name Doug during that show's high popularity? I will never forget that song.

Deathalo @ Jul 10th 2009 6:37PM

As did I Shmil, as did I...

NaeemTHM @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:10PM

LOL! YOU TOTALLY GOT ME! I thought you were going to buy one but then I scrolled down a bit and saw "NOT". How do you stay so clever?

The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:15PM

Brett @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:55PM

man i'd definitely get one of these bad boys if the iPhone's monthly service contracts weren't so ungodly expensive.

The Dark Wang(Ohyeahcola in disguise) @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:59PM

on the product page it says iphone/cell phone so you dont need an iphone

Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 2nd 2009 2:55PM

"PS1 Controller Keychain Sold Seperately"? What a rip off!

Chris Are @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:18PM

I was going to comment on how useless that little controller seems, but now that I know it doesn't come with the case I feel outraged as well! :-)

Mo @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:46PM

Seriously, between your "wang tang" power mention every article and Doom's "i'm Doctor Doom guys! Really!" posts, these are annoying times to be reading joystiq.

Duke @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:30PM

You are very desperate for attention aren't you?

raceofcain26 @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:08PM

Am i the only one who notced that the controller is actually a ps2 controller? the ps1 controllers didnt have the 2 sticks, only the d-pad!

NaeemTHM @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:11PM

No:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DualShock

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

rickjamess04 @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:14PM

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.
