Stylish Stainless Steel Artist Etched Plates For Your New iPhone - Luxe Plates.




Now that we know the new iPhone 4s is the same size as the previous iPhone 4, you don't have to wait to find a cool case or plate design to protect the world's most popular gadget. That said, I'd like to bring Luxe Plates to your attention.

These are beautifully etched stainless steel self-adhesive plates that fit the back of your iPhone 4 or 4S. They protect the phone without getting in the way of buttons or lens. They also work with other covers (fitting under larger wrap around covers) and they can be removed without residual 'gunk.'



With a varied selection by some of today's contemporary artists, designers and illustrators (Andreas Preis, Erich Ginder, Dan Funderburgh, Jesse LeDoux, Jared Nickerson, Richard Coward, Eight Hour Day, Verity Keniger and Notter & Vigne) you're bound to find something that fits your fancy and your phone. They also have a "Design Your Own" option which is explained further on in this post.



The designs are etched with a special photochemical process and are available as brushed stainless steel with black enamel inlay or as polished steel with the etched design.

More Fun Ways To Wipe Your Bum. On A Roll Designer Toilet Paper.



above: On a Roll 'Contaminated Area' toilet paper

It's a trend that is becoming as prevalent as going to the bathroom itself. More and more companies are designing decorative and novelty toilet paper.





By now, most designers and web surfers are familiar with the brands shown above by Renova, Paper & Design and Paper Sensations, but I recently came across On A Roll designs by Worldwide Co.

The designs are a little more clever than just seasonal colors, pattern or butterflies and Santa Claus. And with bright graphics and colorful imagery, they'd make a great gift for just about anyone.
