Case Turns iPad into Giant Game Boy
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, ipad, Retro, Today's Chili
It probably infringes all kinds of trademark law, but the iPad Game Boy cases is still pretty awesome
Lootiful’s retro-tastic iPad case will make your iPad 2 look just like a first-gen Nintendo Game Boy. The polycarbonate snap-on back plate turns your sleek, modern tablet into the taste-wasteland of beige, gray purple and yellow that was all the rage back in 1989.
While the case isn’t yet ready for sale, Lootiful already sells a smaller version for the iPhone 4 for a reasonable $18. You can pre-order the case “soon,” though. And with Nintendo’s continued refusal to put its games on non-Nintendo hardware, this might just be the closest you’ll get to playing Mario on your iPad. At least until Nintendo is forced to pull a Sega, I guess.
