Glow in the Dark iPhone Skin
I’m not on the iPhone or Apple bandwagon but that doesn’t mean I can’t take a peek at the super cool gadgets out there.
Made from a photo-luminescent plastic-like material, according to the manufacturer it is “very durable and will not stretch”. They also claim that the wrap “improves the phone’s reception”. Please somebody try this and let me know. So I guess you could have a crappy phone carrier and still get “improved reception?
Here’s another claim by the manufacturer: “This material also recharges in minutes and will glow brighter and longer than the original iGlowPhone”.
