Chris Ziegler from Engadget Mobile did a nice piece today on Fake iPhones: a retrospective.  With the iPhone frenzy quickly about to come to an end and the start of the frantic fanatics finally getting their mitts on one of the most highly anticipated devices in recent history, Chris thought a look back at the “colorful knockoff industry” and what they have been doing to feed the frenzy would be a nice retrospective … he was right.

… Love ‘em or hate ‘em, credit has to be given to these guys for busting out an endless array of not-quite-iPhones in mere weeks after the world finally got a look at the real deal.
As it turns out, there are just so many real iPhone knockoffs we had to skip over most pre-iPhone photoshops / mockups, as well as those ubiquitous iPhone skins; if imitation is indeed the sincerest form of flattery, the clownfish on the iPhone’s wallpaper should be turning from orange to bright red right about now. Let’s get started, shall we?
