Two customizable services out there allow you to bling up your iPhone to completely set them apart from everyone else, as if it wasn’t impressive enough being the brand spanking new 3G 16GB white one you camped out overnight in line for.

First we have customized Vaja cases, specializing in customizable leather cases in different styles and textures, colors, and add-ons, such as clips, and text/graphic personalization. The ‘Crystal 2′ starts at $220, and depending on add-ons, the final product can cost a little bit more. This one takes about up to 45 days. The Classic Retro Slim case is a very stylish case on the other end of the price scale, starting at $45, taking up to 15 days to complete.

The second spiffy service out there comes from ColorWare. You can change the color of your iphone’s shell backing, sim card slot cover, button, frame, and even buy a pair of matching earbuds and charging dock. Colors come in solid as well as metallic.

When all is said and done, you will have on your hand an extremely decked out iPhone that shames all other iPhones, or burns a whole in your wallet like two other ones for that matter. Nevermind, it will be a very impressive iPhone.
