Why 7 UCLA covers, and 0 for USC? Especially considering their CEO is a USC alumni! "Karl Jacob, CEO and Founder... He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from University of Southern California, where he sits on the school's board of counselors for the School of Engineering." What a traitor.

“Karl Jacob, CEO and Founder… He holds a B.S. in Computer Science from University of Southern California, where he sits on the school’s board of counselors for the School of Engineering.”

What a traitor.

We do support the iphone you just need to send it to us (I know not great), stop by our locations in LA or SF or a Best Buy at the following locations Bloomington, MN in the Mall of America; Fairfax, VA; Schaumburg, IL; and West Hollywood, CA with more coming soon. Yes the world phone is on our list but the cover is pretty small but its coming soon. Right now the list is sorted with branded artwork at the bottom fixing that tonight. We don't have nascar but we do have Hotwheels! Thanks for all the comments and feedback.

Categories for design are pretty odd. Lots of flowers, faries, etc. Surprised not to see a NASCAR section since those fans spend so much money. Note that there is an iPod Touch cover....for $279!!!
