We at Pocket-lint are huge fans of the Hipstamatic app, and all its retro goodness. If only there was a way of making our iPhone 4 look more in line with the brilliantly funky shots it can shoot with the app though.

Well now there is - the HipstaCase; a joint effort from Hipstamatic and designers Agent18 and Synthetic.

Surely everybody's always wanted their 2011 iPhone to look like a camera from the 1970s? Surely?

"Agent18 and Synthetics common commitment to an enhanced user experience through the development of creative and insightful products has yielded a collection characterised by subtle design detail, thoughtful accessories, and spot-on trend relevance," reads the official statement.

"Combining Agent18s industrial design and engineering prowess with Synthetics expertise at putting perfectly imperfect pictures in the palm of your hand has resulted in a case line that is stylish, functional, and dare we say just a little sexy."

They did dare and we have to say we agree.

It's available on 5 May, you can pre-order now for $39.95. There's an iPhone 4 and an iPod touch 4G version, and each comes packed with the case, a wrist lanyard and a tri-pod adapter.
