The perfect addition for the classic Doctor Who fan, this customized iPhone case based on the Doctor's calling card as seen in 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks.
An ingenious prop that signified that the Doctor was 'far more than just a Time Lord' as the cut scene in the program stated, the calling card was a sign for fans that the series was entering a new era of inventiveness and rebirth. No longer on the run from his people, the Doctor was a free agent and possessed knowledge never before seen in the character. Traversing the time-ways, even utilizing his past selves to play a part in ancient legends and challenge the gods of the cosmos, the Doctor was a true champion of time.
In short succession the Daleks and Cybermen were wiped out and with them the attachment to the legacy of the old guard. It was a new era, sadly cut short far too soon.
Designed by Iain Maynard, the case is an exact replica of the prop as seen in the classic adventure (I should know as I made one with a hot glue gun, sharpie pen and white plastic back in the day). The case can be ordered here and is sure to be a talking point at your next business meeting, comic book convention or awkward moment on an elevator when it keeps playing your 'Song for Ten' ringtone.
