Since the iPhone's release about two years ago, we've seen a number of decent iPhone Halloween costumes, but these getups from Reko Rivera and John Savio definitely take the cake. Using their real iPhones, they created full-size, wearable and "working" iPhone costumes.

Each costume features a 42" display, 1.5 hours of battery life, weighs 85 lbs and is connected to a "real" iPhone via USB. They also have 3 batteries each and last about 4.5 hours before needing overnight recharging.

In their words:

"This all started two years ago. Reko Rivera and Bobby Hartman created a wearable large iPhone costume with a real 37" lcd tv. An iPod was attached with a looping video of a real iphones screen in normal use. This time with the help of John Savio and John Matthews the team created yet another amazing rendition of the new iPhone 3GS. Savio loved the original idea but wanted to take it to the next level and make it thinner and actually work with user input! With some heavy researching and some solid determination Savio finally found a solution. He managed to modify the software on the iPhone to allow a live dual image output to the large 42" lcd tv while maintaining the image in landscape mode. Reko originally came up with the idea and really pushed to see his vision come to life two years ago. This year John and Reko plan to compete in most of the local and online contest to win back all the money they invested in the costumes. The team has about $2000 into the two costumes and has no regrets!"

Amazing! This is a great start to what is sure to be a week filled with awesome, creative, interesting and funny Halloween costumes.
