right, I thought those candy bar sandwich phones went out years ago.

This is probably the weirdest accessory ever

The best part is that I bet there will be $30 chinese knockoffs within about 3 days of its launch

imacanon · Nov 28, 2012, 10:14 AM

would never buy this bling ****.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more hardware keyboards for the iPhone. I guess everyone is finally used to the touch keyboard now.

ArchAndroid · Nov 28, 2012, 10:15 AM

will.i.am has managed to achieve the holy trifecta of technological awfulness:

Ugly
Expensive
Not Needed

alexandr · Nov 28, 2012, 10:16 AM

the vintage one is actually quite lovely. i'm just surprised that they are rolling out a case for phones of obsolete size. i mean anyone who is willing to drop 300 pounds on a case, most likely has had the 5 for about a month or so already...

I'm pretty sure every Lil Wayne listening hoodrat will sport one of these.... cuz you know, theres gold on it.

jclardy · Nov 28, 2012, 10:17 AM

A big bulky case...that doesn't even protect the screen when placed on a flat surface?

Seems like a bit of an oversight...

fullstop102 · Nov 28, 2012, 10:17 AM

Well it seems he really is two thousand and late.

Also if a product costs £299 without a sensor, how much will it cost WITH a sensor. You could buy....... Erm a great camera for that price.

Psychj0e · Nov 28, 2012, 10:18 AM

This is actually really neat.

I wonder if it also works as a battery pack? I could see a lot of people ditching their DSLRs for this. Certainly has the right number of megapixels.

polterbyte · Nov 28, 2012, 10:18 AM

Barftastic.

rbgatti · Nov 28, 2012, 10:19 AM

Nope, I'll pass.

Kissaragi · Nov 28, 2012, 10:19 AM

I knew it would be awful but they have really outdone themselves and created a monstrosity the likes of which has never before been released.

One of the worst things I've ever seen!

tann · Nov 28, 2012, 10:19 AM

Damn, those are about £150 too expensive.

People complaining Apple charge a lot for the 'i' branding, clearly will.i.am is trying to jump on the boat and make it fly.

DudeDad · Nov 28, 2012, 10:20 AM

How can I wear that around my neck when I'm already wearing a wall clock around my neck? Won't they collide?

imacanon · Nov 28, 2012, 10:20 AM

will.i.am stay away from tech and continue with.... uhhhmm... what ever.... uhhm... you do...

He thinks he's a musician too. He's wrong on both counts.

jessica. · Nov 28, 2012, 10:20 AM

This guy seems irrelevant, how does he think he'll get away with trying to sell overpriced trash?

kavika411 · Nov 28, 2012, 10:20 AM

Frankly, I think it would look good as is if they'd simply change the gold part to some sort of aluminum. Make that change and I think it would look pretty cool. Still overpriced, though.
