sabotabbyAmong the exciting bits of having a Shiny! New! Phone! is that it's a phone that, unlike the old Infernal Device, people actually make cool crafty cases and such for. But being a pragmatist, I went for an Otterbox case because I am afraid of dropping the thing. It's a nice case (teal and grey, in case you were wondering) but it has two problems:
1) It's a little plain.
2) There's a hole in the back that shows the Apple logo. Which, aesthetically, is a bit dumb, but also basically says "steal me" to anyone who sees it out. Not that the case itself doesn't say "steal me," but it would be nice to have a bit of plausible deniability about it being a really great phone.
So, I thought, phone decals exist! At least, I have a decal for Mac the Knife (if you haven't seen it, it's Woody Guthrie's "This Machine Kills Fascists"), so I figured that such things existed on Etsy. Alas, they do not sell a "This Machine Kills Fascists" decal for the iPhone, probably on the basis that anyone who buys one is already not a very good leftist, so I spent some time searching up designs and found a whole bunch that I like.
Does anyone know if vinyl decals even stick to an Otterbox case? Furthermore, your advice is needed on the following options:
1. TARDIS #1. Plus: Cheap! Minus: No photo of the actual thing.
2. TARDIS #2. Plus: If the photo is to be believed, looks much better than the first. Minus: Will it stick to the case as opposed to the phone?
3. Girl on a tightrope with a crocodile. Plus: Cool picture, will match the case. Minus: Same as above.
4. Le Chat Noir. Plus: I still love this poster. Minus: Might not match the colour scheme, might make my phone look like a college dorm room.
5. Green lace. Plus: Will match, is definitely meant for a case as opposed to the phone. Minus: Has a hole for the Apple logo, kinda boring compared to the others so far.
6. House Greyjoy. Plus: Badass. Minus: I'd prefer it if it were just the sigil with no text, House Greyjoy kind of suck even though they have the best sigil.
7. Bathroom flamingos. Plus: The colour is perfect, awesomely retro. Minus: I may get sick of flamingos.
8. Alice in Wonderland. Plus: It's Alice in Wonderland. Minus: Same as everything else in this line.
9. 221B. Plus: Cool! Minus: Sherlock fans.
10. Anchor. Plus: Matches the colour scheme, meant for the case, implications of rum and sodomy. Minus: Shows the logo.
