So the custom case I ordered from Uncommon arrived in record time and the printing is very, very nice. The design of the case is one of the best I have seen but there is a deal breaker… the case is too tight to use with my screen protective film. I have tried several types and they all have a tendency to bubble the clear film when the lower portion of the case is attached. This is a real bummer. I did try the case with Invisible Shield by Zagg installed on the screen and it worked fine but I really don’t like the feel or look of Invisible Shield so I took it off. I even called the folks at Uncommon to see if they had a solution and they said they were aware of the problem and just recommended using the Invisible Shield as that seems to work with their case.
So where do this leave us / me… if you don’t use a screen protective film on your iPhone or if you use and like Invisible Shield and want a custom printed case then I’d give this case very high marks… but for my needs it is a real disappointment.

Here is the direction my current love fest with the iPhone is going…
All blurring is due to long exposure in the iPhone… in this case 16 seconds. The low resolution adds to the image feel. The artwork was then converted to black and white and had minor adjustments for overall contrast but not much. The image tone and grain were also added in Photoshop… the grain helps to “blend” the tonal range of the image. I chose to print the image on Japanese Shikishi (300 gsm) which is a beautiful uncoated hand-made paper.
I like it alot!

I am always perfecting my carry solution with regards to my camera gear so by extension this has to affect my iPhone as it has a camera too… right?! Ok this may be a bit of a stretch but this is a very cool service by Uncommon where you can make a custom case for your cell phone printed with all of your artworks and designs. The online interface is very easy to use and setting up files to meet their specs is quite simple. The cost is a bit high but not crazy. I have just uploaded the image to the right and I will write again when the case arrives with my thoughts on its quality in both durability and printing as well as their turnaround time.
Viva la Revolution- Stephen
Note: I got a note from Uncommon several hours after I drafted this post that my order was finished and had just shipped… that’s fast!
iPhone Software Recommendation: I find this panoramic software for my iPhone 3Gs quite good…Panorama Application by i Fone Guys, $9.99… made the image below this afternoon at one of my favorite places to eat in VT… Sissy’s Kitchen in Middletown Springs. The image is made up of 4 individual frames which were merged automatically in the software on the iPhone… very cool and great for web work!
