This is a sick case.
Gotta get one -- http://www.mivizu.com/
This particular case -- http://goo.gl/8L1bF

Video Review:

Written review:

My iPhone 4 is now wrapped in a clean, anti-fingerprint, beautiful case.
A perfect window for the Apple logo along with a nice oval cut for the camera. A clean snap on/snap off allows for easy cleaning. A very nice wave design shows off wonderful style. This smooth, suave case defiantly deserves the 9 out of 10 that I give it. For other case see mivizu.com

Computer Prank Pack! April Fools!!

A bunch of different pranks you can pull on your family, co-workers, professors, room mates, or anyone!
The Pranks:

http://www.rjlpranks.com/pranks/avoid/

Lost Buttons
Go to Start--Settings--Control Panel
and find the option for your Mouse. On the
Buttons tab, change the buttons configuration
to switch the primary and secondary buttons of
the mouse. Now when the victim clicks with the
mouse, nothing will work as expected.

Edit Microsoft Word settings.
In addition to defaulting all text to "shimmer"
or "ants marching" (Format - Font - Text Effects),
you can customize the autocorrect options to mock
your hapless victim
(Tools - Autocorrect Options - check "Replace Text as
You Type" - insert desired words in "Replace" and "With" boxes.)

Search Confusion
Change the settings on your victim's computer
so when they Google something their search page
is in a different language. Just sneak onto their
computer, go to Google.com, choose "Settings" in
the upper right, then "Search settings." Now change
the Interface language to whatever language you
prefer.
(To fix after the prank just click on the
"Google.com in English" link below the search box
on the main Google page.)

Can't Close It
Open any application the victim might normally have open.
Press "PrtScn" to capture the desktop as an image
(make sure the mouse pointer and task bar can not be seen).
Next, open an image editing program, and paste the image.
Then save the images as a file. Next, right click on the
desktop, select "properties", and browse for the image
you just created. Select that image as your background
(make sure that it is stretched and not centered or tiled).
Your victim will think he has the application open on his
computer and won't understand why he can not close it or
minimize it.

WARNING! ADDICTING.

You won't want to put them down!

I give them a 7 out of 10.

The price is pretty steep at $30 + s&h; however, they do supply endless amounts of entertainment. So if you think of it as a video game being $50, they are pretty inexpensive. They are almost TOO addicting. I've wasted a lot of time just playing with them. I think the super-addictive state wears off around a few days after you get them, but they are still SUPER fun. They are really unlike any other toy out there, so for creativity they get a perfect 10!

They ARE NOT for young children..
