A lot of people I talk to tell me about how they want to put some alternate contact details on their iPhone lock screens in the event it gets lost. While it's entirely possible for people to fire up Photoshop and make their own, or take a picture of a sticky-note, I thought I'd make it more user-friendly and elegant, so I put together the iPhone Lockscreen Generator. It's an early version, and some improvements are on the way, but it works.

Hope this is of use to at least some of you! Any feedback is welcomed
Sincerely,
SJ

Apologies mods, I think this might belong in the GUI customization forum!

I wish you could choose your own image. Other than that, great idea.

Hey turtle,

That is indeed the plan, but wanted to get something functional up there in the interim. Glad you like it

Keynote works very well for customizing iPhone lock screen wallpaper, and a lot of us probably have Keynote.

That's definitely true chabig, but again is still some effort that is beyond the skill (or attention span) of some users - not to mention it's not free!

That's a pretty roundabout way.

It's unusual, so I mentioned it. But all you have to do is import the wallpaper, position some text, and export as a jpeg. Keynote is pretty good for layering the text.
