It might seem as though the item in picture above is simply a hard drive, but in fact it's the Hard Drive iPhone Case, which is cleverly designed to look like the internal component of a computer. With an exterior that looks strikingly close to the real thing, the Hard Drive iPhone Case will make it look like you're talking into a piece of hardware when walking down the street.
A hard case that snaps onto the body of an iPhone 4 or 4S, the Hard Drive iPhone Case is a throwback to more retro computer components. The internal hard drive of an iPhone is completely solid state and many computer companies are following suit in laptops and PCs, so the Hard Drive iPhone Case is something of a retro throwback for Apple users.
