Remember the Peel? It’s a case for the iPod Touch which adds a vibrator, mic, speaker and cell-radio, turning the iPod into a phone. No? Don’t worry. You may have blanked it from your memory, your eyes and brain scarred by its utilitarian ugliness. The Peel looked like it was carved an old truck tire by a Linux UI designer with the tremors.
Enter Peel v2 a product that could have come out of Apple’s own design lab. In fact it sort of did: The new Peel is a complete rip-off of the iPhone 4, right down to volume buttons on the side.
It’s a little thicker than the iPhone 4, and the teaser on Peel-maker Yosion’s site doesn’t yet state which iPod Touch the case will fit. Still, if you are going to go for this clunky solution instead of just buying a phone already, then at least you won’t look like you’re holding a spare auto-part up to your ear when you use it.
Price and availability, along with almost everything else, remains undisclosed.
