Creep out your friends when you reach into your pocket and pull out this 3D skull iPhone case. In the ongoing adaptation of art projects into smartphone cases, Hugo Arcier adapts his 2007 art project Degeneration for this limited edition case. Degeneration was a project based on face reduction algorithm, hence the skull.
Arcier has produced two versions of his skull iPhone case. One version is highly detailed and the other is more like a rough sketch of a more muscular face. If the entire concept creeps you out then Arcier has probably achieved his goal. The cases are simple polished black plastic and can be ordered to cover your iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5 from 3DPCase. You can also add a custom message on the side of the case.
