[shootingrubber]

Wtf is this? Horrible rapper thinks he's a tech guy?

FuglY

 

[cxny]

yuk.i.am

 

[MultiMediaWill]

"I want this"
- said no one ever

 

[yegon]

Words fail me.

 

[mattopotamus]

The awkward moment when you bring out a product that is already obsolete...

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

 

[iRCL]

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]

would never buy this bling ****.

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

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]

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

• Ugly
• Expensive
• Not Needed

 

[alexandr]

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...

 

[AlphaHumanus]

Steampunk for iPhone.

No. Not at all.





Just, ugh. NO.

 

[wikus]

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

 

[jclardy]

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]

two thousand and late

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]

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]

Barftastic.

 

[rbgatti]

Nope, I'll pass.

 

[Kissaragi]

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]

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]

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

 

[imacanon]

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

 

[Kissaragi]

Wtf is this? Horrible rapper thinks he's a tech guy?

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

 

[GoCubsGo]

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

 

[kavika411]

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.
