While the majority of the tech industry prepares to go all in on this week's CES madness (http://www.engadget.com/ces), a certain Mr. Ben Heck's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/BenHeck/) been busying himself with an homage to the Vegas event. In the spirit of consumer electronics, he's gone ahead and retrofitted a gamepad enclosure to Apple's iPhone (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iphone/). Using a modified circuit board taken from an iCade (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/08/icade-cuts-the-fat-for-ces-introduces-handheld-brother/), Heck was able to craft a plastic enclosure and buttons, made with a 3D printer, to neatly surround the device and borrowed silicon. Click on past the break to watch Ben walkthrough what he does best, which is to say, not gaming.
