From afar it looks like your standard (if a bit wide) pinball machine, complete with flippers, a ball shooter, and flashing lights.  Which is already so cool to have in…

Outer Circle Crew: b-boying meets lindy hop (video)

Posted on November 21, 2011 by

My girl Jeskat just gave me this shiny and functional iPhone case for my new iPhone 4S, straight from Singapore. I love the angel wings design on the back.
