That's not entirely accurate. You have to be alive to be nominated, but you can die after you were nominated and still win. For all we know the guy was nominated already.

I just acquired an old iPhone 2G, and am seeking a case for it since it slips out of my hands. I happened upon this thing:
It's called the "Special Memories Edition." Oy.
Alternatively, there's the chococase:
It's funny because it looks like something that it isn't. |

Because it is Homade chocolate. I can't tell if that should be Home-made or Ho-made, but it's certainly possibly the latter.

That is a good point.
Unfortunately, it's looking like brick and mortar stores don't carry iPhone 2g cases anymore. Grr. |
