Be a Dummy: Fake iPhones for $20 each?

File this under strange: a website called iPhonedummy.net is selling extremely realistic looking but non-functional iPhone dummies – for $20 each. Yes, take your time, read that again.

iPhone Dummy

As incredibly useless as that sounds, there are a lot of practical uses for this thing. Of course, many of the uses are evil/deceptive, but we’ll ignore the obvious ones for the time being (filming videos of smashing them into bits, thinking you really are destroying a $200 iPhone, selling fake phones on EBay, etc).

What reason would any of you, our readers, ever have for something like this? Be creative; does this company have any chance of succeeding? What uses (evil or otherwise) would you have for this sort of thing?

We’re almost sure Apple didn’t approve of this “replica”, but that hasn’t stopped other companies before, and it won’t stop this one, we’re certain.
