While the rest of us are waiting patiently for our free iPhone 4 cases from Apple, Life In LoFi reader Gary Moyer turned me onto his cool new iPhone 4 case — one that looks like a Leica M8 camera.
How to create your own mock Leicaphone after the jump. >>>

MacRumors: Forums user BeyondtheTech created a customised version of a Leica M8 and placed it inside a Griffin Reveal Ultra-thin Hard-shell Case
To make your own Leicaphone, I found the instructions at TechieLobang.com to be pretty thorough and easy to follow.
You can download a high-res version of the Leicaphone insert here.
Unfortunately, the Griffin Reveal Ultra-thin Hard-shell Case for iPhone 4, Black (or White), is not one of the cases in Apple’s iPhone 4 free case program. But this mod is definitely worth the $20 plus shipping or sales tax to turn your iPhone 4 into a really cool-looking faux-Leica.
If you need it now and can’t wait for the case to ship from Amazon, Best Buy in the U.S. lists the Griffin Reveal Case available in most stores for $29.99. I’ll save you one.

Again, big thanks to Gary Moyer for the tip and for letting me whine about my caseless iPhone 4 sliding off my desk. Gary’s iPhoneography can be found here.
