With nearly 50 million iPhones sold to date, there are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of iPhone cases that have been created. This article compiles some of the most creative ones, but also a few of the wackiest and most unusal iPhone cases that we have ever seen.

Although we are all disappointed that the 21st Century didn't deliver on those flying cars, the Martin Jetpack now comes to the rescue. Conveniently priced at only $86,000, this jetpack will deliver 30 minutes of flight thanks to its two powerful fans strapped to your back. Just don't look down.

A team from the BBC1 science programme Bang Goes the Theory has unveiled a car that runs on coffee. Christened as Car-puccino, the car is actually a modified version of a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco.
