My love for the epic RPG (role-playing game) 'Fallout 3' has just been rekindled thanks to the PIP-Boy 3000 iPhone case. DeviantART user Chanced1 has created an iPhone case modeled after the wrist-worn in-game display from the mega-hit video game.
Chanced1 created the PIP-Boy 3000 iPhone case out of card and papier-mâché, giving the the whole package a badass paint job, so that it could more closely match its in-game counterpart. This featherweight case fits an iPhone snugly, although its ability to protect the iPhone when under fire from Super Mutants is debatable. I for one would love to see a limited-edition run of the PIP-Boy 3000 iPhone case made in conjunction with Bethesda (the game's maker) and an iPhone case company. This piece of one-off awesomeness will have to do for now.
