If I have one complaint about the iPhone (and I may, in fact, have only one) it’s the relatively plain-looking exterior. Much as it kicks all kinds of ass in terms of performance, there are certainly more aesthetically-intriguing devices out there. But hey, that’s what iPhone cases are for, right? And this one is a doozy, especially if you’re a fan of the Star Wars franchise.

Provided you’ve got an extra $15.50 lying around, the iconic image of Han Solo encased in carbonite at the end of The Empire Strikes Back/beginning of Return of the Jedi can adorn the back of your iPhone 4 or 4S. The plastic-aluminum case is the work of Moti Zemelman, proprietor of the Etsy.com-powered online store iCaseSeraSera. Hit the jump to get a look, plus some insight into how it was designed and buying info.

Alas, as the designer notes, the image is merely a high-res photo and does not feature a three-dimensional rendering of Solo’s sorrowful face and hands popping out of your phone. Nonetheless, pretty cool.

The “Han Solo Carbonite” case comes to us from Etsy.com (via GeekTyrant), where it’s available for purchase. You can check out some more handmade designs from iCaseSeraSera here. And while you’re there, be sure to shoot Zemelman a note saying “I love your case,” to which he’ll hopefully reply “I know.”

Finally, below is Zemelman’s description of how he produces his custom cases (via Etsy):
