What have you done to your phone cases to make them resemble a prop?

I'm just curious if anyone's done to iPhone cases what some hard-core proppers have done to their cars and homes.

For instance, this just hit Kickstarter:

Totally jives with the Terminator aesthetic, IMHO...

I don't find that to be that that Terminator-y, really.

I have seen BMF cases (like BMF wallets) and Han Solo in Carbonite, I'm sure there are lots of others.

I can't see that phone case protecting the iPhone from much of anything other than a very carefully controlled drop.

Trust me, i'm an expert on phone dropping. I have certification.

I have never modified a phone case to resemble a prop but I have made several movie/game themed phone holsters. My most recent holster was an Uncharted 3 style shoulder holster for iPhone 6. I have also made a few holsters to look like the style Indiana Jones used in Raiders and also the type that Lara Croft had in the last Tomb Raider game.

I'm hoping to prototype making a Jack Harkness Vortex Manipulator phone holder/case at some point.

Should test out my lack of sewing skills quite well!
