The Baroque iPhone case by Zero Gravity uses a clever pun to let everyone know that you're strapped for cash.
The Baroque was an artistic period that was preceded by the Renaissance and followed by the Classics. It was an era of grandeur and opulence, making the penniless pun all the more ironic. If you're a "baroque" b*tch with expensive taste, this iPhone case is definitely for you! Wearing your financial status on your phone case might be a shameless way of looking for a hand-out, but it sure is funny.
(Art history majors may feel compelled to point out that Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' was actually done during the Renaissance, but the main point remains the same).
