A case that converts the iPod touch into an iPhone (kinda) is coming to the U.S.

GoSolarUsa Inc. says it is bringing the Apple Peel 520 to the United States.

Developed by Chinese company Yosin, the Apple Peel 520 clamps to the back of the iPod touch and contains a battery, dock connector and SIM card slot. With it, the iPod touch can make phone calls and texts. Early reviews are mixed: it works but is buggy.

It is expected to go on sale for about $60. GoSolarUsa hasn’t given a launch date.
