Props to you, man. I can't believe some people are dissin' it. You need to go trick-or-treating in Manhattan. You'll make the Daily News.

Now all you guys need to do is figure out a way to mass produce and sell. Could call them "open phone" costumes. Pretty kick ass tho.

I wonder what effect that might have on future children...

How long does the car battery power the monitor for? That thing must suck up some juice.

We get about 1.5 hours per battery.

Those costumes are AWESOME! I can't believe the negativity coming from some of the tools in this thread. You're just jealous because you couldn't create anything 1/1000 as cool.

Good work guys. I would really want that. I am a sales/marketing guy working in an iPhone Repair London company.

I am looking for such a costume to market our iPhone Repair Service business. Atleast, now I have a good idea of how can I make one myself.

Great Sharing.

Thanks

Cool. I was wondering when I'd see an iphone costume.

Back in 2006 I made a working ipod costume as well. I wired sensors to a physically rotating click wheel that were in turn soldered to the control board of a usb keyboard that allowed it to be controlled. An old ibook G3 provided a lot of donor parts. Fully charged it would last about 3 hours, though it was uncomfortable enough that I would never wear it for that long.

Here's a photo of it in the early testing:



Unfortunately I can't find any other pictures at the moment. The damn project almost killed me. Two all nighters in a row is not a good idea...
