Magpul iPhone Case
I can't believe I did not see these at SHOT. Midway USA has them on backorder. Expected ship date is the 29th.

Extreme Tolerance points out that shipping from Midway USA comes to $8, nearly doubling the effective price of the $9.45 case.
UPDATE: Todd points out that basic USPS ship option was only $3.19
UPDATE: Review of the case over at Jason's blog.
[ Many thanks to Chris for emailing me the info. ]
Oddly, Cerberus will buy the rights, alter the design so that it no longer fits the iPhone and charge $49.99 A case for a telephone with the word Magpul written on it, why didn’t you say so earlier?! Where can I throw my money slavishly at someone to get this unbelievably important tactical item that I can’t live without?!
Otterbox makes a much better case.
You have to hand it to Magpul marketing. This is a brilliant idea – who would have thought there were that many gun (AR) owners with iPhones? They must have done some research on this to make it into a product. The fact that MidwayUSA (as xstang points out) has sold out validates Magpul marketing’s prowess.
Midway isn’t sold out…they aren’t shipping yet.
Wow…midway is sold out and backordered in all colors.
Considering the rip off prices I see at most stores for iPod and iPhone cases, this is a virtual steal all in itself…..
…..And the fact it says Magpul on it is just gravy.
OtterBox FTW!
One word – tacticool
Lol Microsoft fanboys on a gun blog.

Imagine when my phone rings and I pull this baby out, people will know that I’m a Leet Pro Ninja fo’ sure.

Magpul should hand this over to Bushmaster right away. Those guys really know how to get things done.
I saw these on a recent trip into Tokyo at an airsoft store. Not sure if they were real but I almost bought one. To bad I don’t like silicon cases. I actually thought they were a fake mock up someone made to get cash but i guess not
It’s enough to make me want an iPhone. Ah hell no I’m not buying something from apple. Tell me when there is the MagPul Nexus One case.
I have one on pre-order from Midway and the basic USPS ship option was only $3.19
Todd, thanks for the info. I have updated the post.
