Omniscient Siri is an iPhone case, too

The Omniscient Siri creation by SaGa Design is a top winner in a Shapeways contest aimed at imagining what Siri looks like. The face trying to escape from the iPhone is available as a 3D-printed object from Shapeways for $90. It doubles as an iPhone case that's either extremely cool or extremely scary, depending on your viewpoint.

Siri as a smart apple

This Siri contest entry from @InsaneGalvatron skips the idea of Siri as having a human shape. Instead, the designer focuses on Apple, with a creation that shows a glowing red light of intelligence gleaming from within a chrome piece of fruit. The design is an honorable mention in Shapeways' contest.
