Just in time for St. Patrick's Day: iPhone bottle opener

The Intoxicase protects your phone and opens your beer bottles. Saint Patrick would be proud.

This should come in handy on the second biggest drinking day of the year. Intoxicase is a protective iPhone case that comes with a built-in bottle opener. Totally unnecessary. Totally cool.

The Intoxicase also comes with a mobile app, which knows when you open a bottle with your iPhone (it has a gyroscope sensor, supposedly) and thus will keep track of how many drinks you've had (very helpful on St. Paddy's Day). The app will also help you find and call a taxi. I've tested the bottle opener myself. Bottle caps snap off with ease, due to the stainless steel opener (which is grafted right onto the Poly carb case). Intoxicase costs $35 and can be purchased here. There's also an Intoxicase Plus for $45 (sleeker design). More info at www.intoxicase.com.
