Playing ping pong with an iPhone 4

Perhaps you already own an iPhone 4 of your own, or perhaps after playing with it for a while you find it somewhat boring. In that case, why not try something crazy? Like using your iPhone 4 to play ping pong?

I know what you're thinking. Although there was previously a virtual iPhone app that allowed for ping pong interaction between two iPhones, fake is still fake. Swinging through the air without any real substance just isn't satisfying. What I'm talking about is actually using your iPhone 4 to play real ping pong.

You might think this sounds ridiculous. After all, the iPhone 4 is just a tablet-like phone, and using it to play ping pong would surely raise questions about its feel. But why not give this magical protective case a try? Once you slip your iPhone 4 into it, you'll have a powerful ping pong paddle infused with technology.

This iPhone 4 case was designed by a foreigner, who claims the inspiration came from one day playing around with balancing a ping pong ball on his iPhone 4. The rubber case is currently available here in different color options, and it's not exactly cheap at $29.95. However, the seller does state that this item is merely symbolic—it’s not meant for actually hitting ping pong balls with your phone. If anything happens to your precious iPhone as a result, the seller won't be held responsible.
