My New iPhone Case

Well it's official, I have an iPhone 4. And, since I'm very clumsy- it was an urgent matter to find a case. My iPhone 3 case from Uncommon worked wonderfully for me so I decided to give them a go again.

This process... took me forever. I'm just too picky. I wanted a NASA photo of a nebula. I came up with like 15 different designs

Hope you guys like it as much as I do! If you want one, simply go to NASA's site, pick out a photo you like, save it to your computer and use it on uncommon. NASA photos are free to the public!

I decided to make the stars in my painting glow in the dark! I just used a craft store brand t-shirt glow-in-the-dark gel and applied it with a brush over the white dots.
