Photographer skins his iPhone 4 as a Leica M9

4946299399 a0cee67139 318x211 Photographer skins his iPhone 4 as a Leica M9

San Francisco photographer, Joey Celis ( @joeyjoeyjoey ) has turned his iPhone 4 into a Leica M9 with this ingenious skin. I had to look this up, not being a photography geek, but the M9 is “the world’s most compact full-format digital camera system” according to Leica. So, I would imagine that this skin would be highly sought after by every iPhone-4-using Leica fan.

With this skin, the photographic “business end” of the iPhone 4 is quite convincing as the compact M9 at a passing glance and can actually take pictures…although, not from the Leica’s lens. If you follow along with Celis’ iPhone 4 Leica M9 conversion photo set on Flickr, you’ll see how it looks in the wild as well as its humble beginnings as a Photoshop document.

While, at first, Celis had no plans to produce the skin for sale, response has been so positive that he posted this along with the picture you see above hinting that ordering information would be on the way soon:

Been getting lots of emails on when I’ll be taking orders for the Leica M9 skin and I think I finally settled on how I would like to release this and it will be in the form of donations to NF1 .

I’ll post information here and here once I skin the other phone.

Stay tuned and thanks for the support!

New Apple Store uniforms may cause confusion. We have the solution.

leavemealone 20080429 101453 New Apple Store uniforms may cause confusion. We have the solution.Recently, ifoApplestore reported that Apple plans to color-code its Apple Store employees by having behind-the-bar Genius and Creative employees in dark blue T-shirts, Specialists in light blue, and Concierges in bright orange T-shirts. The shirts will be emblazoned with slogans like “I can talk about this stuff for hours”, “I know people” and “Some artists use brushes. I prefer boxes” This will help customers distinguish between the roles of the various employees to better and more easily find the help they need.

The problem comes when the store is also populated by customers wearing message T-shirts. How annoying would it be to visit an Apple Store wearing your favorite geek Tee only to be interrupted by questions from other customers mistaking your T-shirt as one of these new Apple Employee shirts. Not a happy Apple Store experience at all!

We have the solution in our new “I Don’t Work Here T-Shirt! Simply purchase this USD$19.90 shirt in one of the 15 colors available and you can safely visit your local Apple Store without fear of being disturbed by customer questions. The shirt clearly reads “Leave me alone, I don’t work here.” and should deter any unwanted intrusions into your Apple shopping day.
