No matter how hard I try to hold on, the mix tape is slowly dying on me. And by slowly, I mean really quickly. It's not like I'm even doing my part to keep it alive. I currently don't own any form of tape deck, neither in my house or car and all of my current mixes are digital and epically long. And though I don't have an iPhone to participate in my planned adaptive resurrection, I shall sprinkle my influence over all of you that do to transform your iPhone into a cassette tape.

Apart from being just a protective skin, this little bundle of joy includes a special cassette tape case that doubles up as a stand, both vertically and horizontally. Can't say as much for my old mix tape cases with all my stolen radio jams, Michael Jackson and Duran Duran. Part of me deeply regrets ever letting those go. Especially the tapes I recorded over so much, you could actually hear what was recorded before.

Unfortunately for now, the iPhone Cassette Tape Skin and Stand (for about $20.00) is out of pre-order stock. New stock is due by mid-August, so keep an eye out for it. I assume by then it won't just be for pre-order? I don't know, you tell me. It's hard to think with "Rio" stuck in my head.
