Portable Polynesian God Protects iPhones From Nicks And Scratches

itkicoconut.jpeg Every once in a while, a press release lands in your in box that makes you smile. For me just a few minutes ago, it was this pitch on the iTiki, a portable Polynesian God that protects iPhones from nicks and scratches.

In their own words:

iTiki is more than just the original tiki-based iPhone case. It's the silicone incarnation of the same spirit who, according to legend, created the first woman. When he got thirsty, he invented really tasty rum drinks. Now the iTiki wants to protect your iPhone.

... iTiki actually transforms your iPhone into a tiki by wrapping the phone in a snug-fitting silicone skin, designed to look like traditional Polynesian tikis.

Full press release.
