Shirley someone else noticed the elephant in the room.
Apple.

I've owned a couple of smart (Android) phones and my missus spends hours wasting time on an Ipod touch I bought about 3 years ago.
They all have covers of 1 type or the other (metal casing or leather clip-pouches).
My Nokia 6300 lasted me nearly 4 years - having been driven over, thrown, dropped into puddles and regularly called a "brickunt" only recently got ditched for another Nokia, because I had 2 sims.
The only 1 I've ever seen vain enough to include leaving a hole in the case to show off the logo is...
You guessed it.

That & the fact that a similar spec quad-core, 6gb. mem box my mate bought cost him nearly AUD$1500 more than mine.
They both came with OS's installed (I ditched mine in favour of a better one).
Even if I still gamed I'd be laughing. He, however wouldn't be. BF3 kinda sucked for him.
But if he wanted to produce HD music or do top-'o-the-woz graphic designs he'd be in luck.
Onya, Mickey!
EDIT: Nb. I have of course totally ignored virutalisation or emulation because if you're going to Bootcamp Windows on hardware that costs you almost twice as much as the hardware it's designed for (if not more) - then I have an uncle in Nigeria who has a very big check to give you. Trust me he'll put whatever logo you want on your box/phone. Just head to your local Nigerian Scam Store and talk to one of his friendly reps.

From the picture it seems to be something about iphones.

I think the logo is actually meant to be used as a mirror for the vain owners to pout into whilst taking pictures of themselves to load up onto Freakbook.
