Chubbify Your iPhone 4
I just find this iPhone 4 case by Arkwhat hilarious. While Apple spends millions on R&D to make their phone as thin as possible, a soft goods manufacturer puts out a case to make it as fat as possible. The Arkhippo I – Love it! It’s made of dense foam in a myriad of colors – super lightweight and shaped like an old school brick. Yes, I’m sure those of you old enough to remember the beginnings of cellular technology will remember how FAT phones were.
Aside from the constant looks and side-eyes I received from strangers, I didn’t mind the case at all. Forget about carrying this in your pocket. You’re gonna need a purse or a murse… wait, a man bag? It’s also the ONLY iPhone case I actually believed would protect my phone from a perilous fall and sure enough, not a single scratch. It’s not for everyone but definitely a fun gift.
What we loved:
- Goes against the grain, fat phones for everybody!
- Can stand on its own.
- Thoughtful notch at the bottom so speaker isn’t hidden.
- Lots of colors!
What could be improved:
- Umm, neon lights?

This is a very cool idea….love it!!! but….how am I going to put it to sleep and adjust volume?
I think the case is for protecting your phone from falls but with the lack of buttons I would be getting the phone out of the case which will make me drop it more….

this is completely ridiculous. it should just be in a dollar store as a gag gift. completely dumb. and for people who need attention.

Ah, as if the people with the new "sleekest, slimmest Iphone 4" aren't already after the attention Mr. Gavel? Lighten up, people have different tastes.
