This is one of the first iRetrofone designs I've seen where the iPhone actually blends into the design and isn't immediately apparent or sticking out like a sore thumb. 'Fusing art with function' is the aim of artist Scott Freeland with this creation, which although it's awesome to look at will certainly require a very specific decor scheme to pull off. Each iRetrofone Steampunk is hand-sculpted, hand-cast in urethane resin and then hand-painted. They're each a fully functional iPhone dock complete with USB compatibility for syncing and charging and an enormous (but also functional) old-fashioned handset for conversing like grandma used to while reducing your radiation exposure. Get yours for $350 on Etsy.
