Grasshopper Manufacture hops on the iPhone case trend

by Randy Nelson on Apr 17th 2011 7:00PM

No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned dev Grasshopper Manufacture is ready to weird-up your iPhone 4, provided you live in Japan (or know someone who does). It has created two cases for Apple's smartphone: "Cockroach Maiden" (left) and "Hallo, Friends" (misspelling intentional, right).

If the first one seems a little, well, creepy, that is one of the studio's areas of expertise, after all -- have you seen the stuff it's come up with? The cases are available for shipping within Japan from GhM's merchandise site and run ¥2100 ($25) apiece.

Oh, sweet.

Make one of them big enough for my iPad, and I'd totally bite.

I know how unlikely it is, but I wish they would make stuff like this for the more popular Android phones.

@Xiegfried
Problem with that is that Android phones don't have one model. So you'd have to make them for all the different types of phones out there.

@Xiegfried if android was more popular they might. its not though :'(

@Jack Kevorkian

Buuuuuuuuuuuurn.

@Jack Kevorkian

Hmm, last time I checked, Android is more popular...

But thats not the point, as Aquacharger said, its not about the popularity, they just don't want to make it for different types of models..

But then again, why don't they make some for a small selection of the most popular ones...

@Jack Kevorkian

im sure they'd make an android one if all their phones looked the same. If its popular or not does not make a difference.

@PR0F3TA in japan no one owns an android. apple is the one american company they love

"But then again, why don't they make some for a small selection of the most popular ones... "

That's what I meant by "more popular." I was hoping no one would think that I meant that Android phones were more popular by that statement, but hey, it's all good. The Incredible, Droid X, and original Droid seem to be the most popular among the Droid line, so I don't see why there's basically only one company making decent cases.

@Jack Kevorkian

i bet. they know their tech.

No logical products, please.

If I had an iPhone, I'd be all over this. I will follow GHM wherever they go.

Case for iPod touch and/or Motorola Droid 2, please?

Looks great, now let's have a contest joystiq! It has been forever!

@cuif7ds8a

we're not idiots and we don't click your links so why even bother. Go spam other gullible idiots.

Isn't this a video game blog? I don't see why an iPhone case is gets a news post.

@CFH GARZA
it is an iphone case but it is designed by a group of iconic gaming developers and thus is certainly gaming related.

@CFH GARZA

Careful this breed tends to get a bit moody...just do like I do when I run into one of em:

"Hey!, Apple is a great company!"

(...and sneak away when their eyes glaze over and talk for hours on end on how great they, and their beloved company is)

...trust me it works. I've field tested it many times.

@KyGuyTC7 I see.

*sees first case*

"Oh, that's pretty cool, I could maybe see myself using th-"

*sees it's called Cockroach Maiden*

"OHJESUS"

That's not a misspelling, just wanna be hip German, or as the Germans call it 'Denglisch'. ;)

Quite nice! I might buy some.
