'80s Cell iPhone 3-4s Case

Urban Outfitters has come out with a way for iPhone users to time travel back to the 1980s with their '80s Cell iPhone 3-4s Case. Urban Outfitters is an online and retail store located throughout the United States. They sell may different items such as clothing, apartment necessities, and accessories. Their tech accessories for the iPhone and iPad are reasonably priced. The above '80s Cell iPhone 3-4s Case is priced at $9.99. The case is only offered in black because in the 80's all cell phones were black. This case is also made of hard plastic to keep the nostalgia alive.

The case fits iPhones 3, 3GS, 4, and 4S. It allows the user to see (or remember, depending on the age of the user) what it was like to use a "brick" cell phone in the 1980's. It is shaped like cell phones looked in the 1980s. It even includes an antenna. The case while bulky, still allows iPhone users to use all functions of the phone except the camera. The user can still answer calls, use the home button, and listen to music. Most reviews of the phone are positive. The negative comments are mainly based around the bulkiness leading to difficulty texting. It should be noted that this case is to be used for novelty and nostalgia, not functionality. This phone serves as a remarkable reminder of how far technology has come in thirty years.
