The Style Mermaid

DIY Thursdays: Mermaid iPhone Case

This is not a DIY project made from scratch. We saw this mermaid 4/4S iPhone case in Hong Kong and because the seller didn’t have the same design for iPhone 5, my mother convinced me to get the case and just transfer it to a clear/transparent case. And lucky for me, I was able to snag a free transparent case. So, all in all, I only paid for the original case which was worth PHP300+ only.

It’s pretty easy to design your own iPhone case. All you need is a plain, preferably a transparent case (You can order online at CFYG, just mention my name when ordering), a glue gun and your design/materials. For a more visual approach, check out this tutorial. Enjoy!

Play A Game, Save The Sea

EnviroPop is a wonderful collaboration between the World Wide Fun for Nature (WWF-Philippines) and AppLabs Digital Studios. The primary aim of this application is to spread awareness on how to minimize threats to marine life. The gameplay is quite simple: for one whole minute game, you need to tap three or more of the same group of hazardous threat (cyanide, plastic bottles, dynamite, oil cans, and trawl net). The more you tap, the higher your score is. A cute time buster app.

Now, here comes the interesting part: the cause. For the amount of $0.99/PHP40, you get to help my friends under the sea. All proceeds of this app go directly to the WWF-Philippines’ Marine Conservation Programs! PHP 40 is not a lot. It’s worth one Cheeseburger at McDonald’s and although that tastes really yummy, that thing makes you fat and lazy! This one is PHP 40 and you’ll even feel good about yourself for helping Mother Earth! :P

I strongly encourage everyone to download the app here. It’s for a good cause anyway. :) If you’re still not convinced on purchasing the app, then here’s a lite version for you to try.

30 iPhone Apps for 2012

Not all apps go on sale during the Black Friday weekend. So I try my best and wait for Christmas to buy apps. Some of the photo apps I’ve been eyeing on didn’t go on sale but a lot of games did, including Sid Meier’s Pirates! :D

I made a list of 30 apps I have, recently downloaded and will probably try on my jail-broken 3GS. You can also follow me on Instagram to see the shots I took/edited with these apps! :)
