Fantasy Game Smartphone Cases

This Skyrim iPhone Case Will Increase Speechcraft by +10

— February 27, 2013 — Tech
If you encounter a lot of orcs, ogres and angry mages on your travels, then you need a good suit of magical armor; that’s where this Skyrim iPhone case comes in.

What? You thought I was talking about protecting yourself with that magical armor? Don’t be silly, your iPhone can be the most powerful tool while navigating the caves, forests, and mountains of the sprawling world Skyrim. Anyone who has looked up a walkthrough for the game on their smartphone will know what I’m talking about.

This Skyrim iPhone case from SkinnyJoe (available for the iPhone 5, 4, and 3GS as well as iPod Touch) is a must for any hardcore fan of the game. The cheesy joke on the case promises that the item will grant +10 to speechcraft, an ability in the game. It also lists the weight of the iPhone at 2 and value at 837 Gold. Now if only someone would get to work on that iPhone shield idea, then I’d be all set to do some real ogre damage.
