Academic Throwback Cases

The Kalomix iBlackBoard Takes You Back to Elementary School

The Kalomix iBlackBoard is an iPhone case that doubles as an actual chalk-friendly blackboard. The iBlackBoard is a stylish nod to the analogue academic days of spelling words and times tables. Kalomix has created somewhat of a culture clash by taking the blackboard and turning it into something funky, fresh and ironic.

The Kalomix iBlackBoard is great for forgetful folk who need a reminder to put a reminder in their digital calendars. Check out the featured gallery to take a closer look at the Kalomix iBlackBoard.
