SoundCloud 3-D-Prints Your Favorite Songs Into Custom iPhone Cases

In a perfect union of two creative online uploading services, the 3-D printing marketplace Shapeways and the social audio-sharing site SoundCloud have created the Vibe, your favorite sound in phone case format. The hipper-than-hip modern-day marriage (unveiled at SXSW, no less), uses a 15-second audio clip of your choice and 3-D printing technology (which you can read about here) to create a one-of-a-kind case in black or white plastic. Get sentimental and use your baby’s first word, maybe — it'll be like the wallet photo of the future.
