The Cheapest iPhone
This iPhone costume will appeal to all you underachievers out there. All you'll need is some construction paper, string, and crayons. You'll still have to put in some labor since those iPhone icons won't draw themselves, unless there's already an app for that. (Click on image to enlarge)
If you want to take this underachievement to the next level, you could use iPhone image files, and glue some printed icons onto your construction paper. It would take you less time than drawing them, and would probably create a better overall look.
iPhone Couple
This iPhone couple was spotted on North State Street in Chicago by Flickr user travelmatt, just a few days before Halloween 2008. (Click on image to enlarge)
As far as construction goes, this iPhone costume is pretty good, but leaves a little to be desired. The icons look nice, but the iPhone itself is shaped more like the mythical iPhone Nano than the authentic Jesus phone. That being said, the earbuds were something I hadn't seen before. Nice touch, you two.
Most Adorable iPhone
Meet Sebastian in his 2007 iPhone costume. What this costume lacks in iPhone accuracy, it makes up for in "awwww" factor. Sebastian's got a very special call list on his foam, felt and cloth iPhone including his aunt, uncle, and other family members. (Click on image to enlarge)

The Slickest
There are iPhone costumes and then there are crazy iPhone costumes. John Savio (Left) and Reko Rivera (Right) of Tampa, Florida decided to go all out this year and make the ultimate iPhone costumes. These guy literally took two 42-inch LCD sets and strapped them on. They also upped the ante, by hacking into the iPhone making it possible to create a real-time display of the iPhone interface on the LCD screen. (Click on image to enlarge)
The costumes are powered by three batteries each and can run for 4.5 hours before they have to be charged overnight. These iPhones weigh a whopping 85 pounds, and cost the guys about $2000 total. Savio and Rivera say they plan to enter every Halloween contest they can find to win back their investment. But even if they don't win back the money, the guys say they have no regrets.
If you haven't seen it already, you can watch these oversized iPhone 3GSs in action on YouTube.
