The HipstaCase for [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept) is perfect for shutterbug hipsters, combining a throwback design from the 80's that enhances their photog phone skills on their iPhone. Yeah, I'd say that's the perfect hipster combination in a smartphone case.

This retro-looking cover is a collaboration between Hipstagram, the [digital photography app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipstamatic) that makes pics look analog, and Agent 18. The [camera sleeve](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-17-cases) not only protects your phone against scratches and bumps, but it also comes with some really rad accessories. It includes a tripod adapter that mounts the camera phone for steady, level photo-taking and also comes with a wrist lanyard to easily tote around your iPhone.

The nifty little HipstaCase for iPhone 4 also works with iPod Touches; Hipstamatic users can now take even better pictures with this clever cover.
