We can't stop buying this PS1 iPhone case
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.

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

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

Sounds like a nematode to me.
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

Mo @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:46PM

HIS WANG TANG POWERS MAKE HIM RETARDED LOLOLOLOLOL!
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.
Superbean @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:17PM
Its the dualshock... It came out later in da ps1s cycle. Ps2s controller is the dualshock 2, ps3s is the dualshock 3. Are you seeing the pattern yet?
Mo @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:49PM
Fool!! think before you speak...
Heavytoka @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:10PM
They need to make one for my Blackberry
DeceasedFriend @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:11PM
I'm pretty sure that's the cutest thing ever.
Zak @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:20PM
Damn you for buying them all!!!!
HaloEleven @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:22PM
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.
CtrlBurn @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:23PM
From the site:
"PS1 controller keychain sold separately =)"
Dag, all the fun goes right out the window.
j.howlett @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:25PM
i was just showing my niece what a ps1 looked like.
Enduros @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:26PM
Now if I could only get an iPhone plushy case for my PS1...........
And I miss Dead Space Girl head. *sniff*
Chris Are @ Jul 2nd 2009 4:15PM
you want head from a dead chick in space? that's disgusting.
joshua.nash @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:27PM

Mo @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:50PM

AerialAngel @ Jul 2nd 2009 3:44PM
