V-Moda Metallo Case Throws in Guitar Pick for Musicians on the Go

Gadget cases come in a variety of different shapes and colors, and there are more and more minimal cases that help users make a fashion statement, as well as protecting their fancy phones. Some may even come with some odd accessories, like guitar picks!

The slim profile V-Moda Metallo case will protect your precious iPhone 5 from scratches, and it’s machined from a single block of metal. There’s a back plate that needs to be attached with an Allen wrench that’s included in the package. Apparently, when you tighten the case, it makes a sound like loading a gun, and, it’s supposed to make a sound reminiscent of a sword being unsheathed when you remove your phone. Needless to say, I’m all for fancy sounds.

Oh, and there’s also a guitar pick so that musicians will be able to play guitar whenever they want, though it’s not clear if there’s a way to actually stash the pick inside the case, if it’s used in the assembly of the case, or if it’s just a silly item to throw in the package.

The Metallo case costs $101(USD) and is available through V-Moda’s store. There are four colors to choose from.

Etsy seller GuitarPickCollection has a great selection of guitar picks made from U.S. coins. They cut and shape the coins into fully functional guitar picks that look pretty cool.

You can get regualr coins like quarters and Sacajawea dollars, or antique coins, like buffalo nickels, wheat pennies and silver dollars. They’re perfect for playing Pink Floyd’s “Money”. Most cost about $10(USD), which is definitely higher than face value.
