Penny Skateboards iPhone case
My Penny iPhone covers came today. They look awesome, it takes a little jostling to get them on right so they are not holding the power button in. I had to take the back side plastic protector off to get them to fit just right. I included a few pics of the Penny case next to the Vans iPhone case as a comparison. I like the rubber on the Penny a little better, the Vans is softer and the sides can flap around a little. The Penny is stiffer so it stays considerably tighter against the sides of the phone. A feature I like is the hole for the vibrate switch is cut right so it fits the 4s and the older 4 where the switch is a little higher. Nice case.

I like making iPhone backgrounds while I am waiting for my Penny iPhone cases to get here. These are the most recent ones.

These are how these various plastic and fiberglass boards are drilled in my experience. I am also posting this at the forum,

If you have any additions or corrections, please comment here or on the forum and I will look into it and make the changes. Hopefully this list will make decisions on upgrading trucks a little easier.

Plastic Skateboard Forum
I have been thinking about this for a while and a few commenters have mentioned it so I went ahead and made a little plastic skateboarding forum.
Anyone want to come join? Its pretty much just me hanging out in there right now and I am having fun by myself, but everyone is welcome.
And please, invite others who skate, start some threads, post some pics and make suggestions. I will add whatever boards we need, if we get some people active in there it should be lots of fun.
