The iPhone 4 is already one of the most luxurious phones you can own, but since everyone already has one, how can you, millionaire Joe Paleontologist, separate yourself from the rest of the hoi polloi?
How about an iPhone 4 forged of meteoric stone and a bloody, flesh-tearing cuspid ripped from the jaw bone of pre-history’s most fearsome thunderlizard?
This custom iPhone 4 was designed by Stuart Hughes. Called the iPhone 4 History Edition, the antenna gains the usual tacky encrustation of diamonds and platinum, but it’s the replacement back casing that really stands out: they took a chunk of meteorite and then ground a Tyrannosaurus tooth into dust all over it.
Or so they claim. You can’t see much dino tooth in the finished product, but for a £39,995 sticker price, one would assume they’ve documented the process for the ten or so customers they’re trying to rope in.
Wonderfully dorky, of course, but what science / dinosaur nerd could possibly be rich enough to afford this? Only Jurassic Park’s John Hammond comes to mind, and I have it upon good authority that he was recently devoured by a group of procompsognathuses.
