Skateboards get a new life as iPhone accessories. Rad.

I will always be a skater girl at heart, but my style has evolved toward more subtle fashion choices than the G&S Skate Rat Pool Party t-shirt I rocked back in the day. Like these hip and gorgeous iPhone backs made from discarded skateboard material.

A super cool collaboration between Grove and MapleXO, the iPhone 4/4S SkateBack is crafted from post-production skateboard waste. That means less stuff in landfills and more ways to dress up your iPhone. I'm partial to the colorful Vibrant style, but for those still dressing in all black (and New Yorkers), the Calm and Neutral styles will coordinate perfectly.

To be clear, the SkateBack is a back, not a case. It attaches to the back of your phone with adhesive--the sides and screen are fully exposed. But if you've already got a sleeve for your iPhone and just want to up the fancy ante, the SkateBack is a totally rad way to do it. -Julie
