Dual SIM iPhone 4 case allows you to use two networks with your shiny smartphone

Ever wanted an option to connect on two networks with your iPhone 4? Apple doesn’t allow that, but there is an unofficial way to do it. And it doesn’t require some super savvy technical skills – simply use the Dual SIM iPhone 4 case, which is readily available for 30 bucks ($28.99 to be more precise) from USBfever.

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to use two networks at once, requiring manual switching to the network you want to use at a given moment (you do that from “Settings”, then “Phone” and then “SIM Applications”). You should think of it as a travelling case that will enable you to keep your home number with an option to also use a local SIM card and save some money on roaming costs.

Moreover, we’re not talking about the single most beautiful case here, but it definitely provides more functionality than any other case we’ve seen.

So what do you say? Is it worth $28.99?
