Help me bling up the Infernal Device's case

[sabotabby]

Among 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.

It does. What I did is that I held on to the gelaskins gift card I had received until I saw a picture that when I saw it, I immediately thought I WANT THAT and I got it then. But that took well over a year and now less than 6 months later, I switched phones, and I don't want to get the same picture on my new phone.

You may want to visit your tumblr history for inspiration... You could also use your tattoo design, speaking of which.

Hmm, but it wouldn't match, colour wise.

A lot on my Tumblr would, though it mainly has the same problem (reds and blacks vs. the teal thing I have going on. I'd have gone with red and black for the case, but for some reason that wasn't an option.)
