World’s ugliest iPhone case gets artsy

Perhaps you remember Case-mate’s 99-cent cardboard iPhone “recession” case, which we wrote about back in September and deemed one of the better product publicity stunts in recent memory. Well, Case-mate is now hosting a decorate-your-recession-case contest with users submitting photos of their creations. The pic with the most votes wins a Suzuki moped from the ’80s.

We gotta say, the entries are pretty amusing, and while cardboard is never going to look upscale, the decorated cases are pretty hot in a sort of avant garde way.

Check out the slideshow below and feel free to let us know your favorite. We’ll add more photos as entries come in (thanks to Case-mate for allowing us to post them here).
