If you’re a true Star Wars fan interested in supporting the franchise, on one hand, you could get yourself a Motorola Droid 2, which passes on a small sliver of a royalty to LucasFilm with every handset sold thanks to George Lucas’ trademark on “droid.”
On the other hand, that would stick you with using Android, and luminous beings are we. So fly your geeky colors proud and true by instead purchasing this official $30 R2-D2 iPhone case. It won’t snuggle your iPhone 4, but it’ll shell your iPhone 3G or 3GS like an astromech, making it very much the droid you’ve been looking for.
