touch sensitive case

I can't really see any massive potential for it either, but it might be cool if the screen automatically locked when it sensed you'd put it down.
On the Blackberries, when you put them into the free holster provided by blackberry, it automatically locks your phone and shuts the display off. I'm guessing this could be one application for a touch sensitive case.
Another, could be that the back side of the case is touch sensitive to possibly accommodate one "rumored" feature of the 4th generation iphone, which some people say will have touch sensitive gestures on the back side of it similar to the new mighty mouse.
Why you asking?
games.. numerous things could be done here...
easy access to phone settings..
application flip.. considering multitasking is rumoured in some way
touch sensitive volume controls
scrolling text..
some sort of zooming feature
list goes on.. .. basically you could do many things with it.. although i doubt it would appear on the phone though..
another option would be scrolling pics so you do not obstruct the view for the person/ people looking on
This MacRumors item from May, 2007 should shed some light on some of the possibilities:
