I played around creating a flippable-card based UI for use on mobile:

I think it has potential. And yes, I know it doesn't feel quite right (or work on desktop), it was the result of a few hours of work. The hardware-accelerated nature of it means that it does feel very smooth indeed.

Exactly. It's the CSS equivalent of writin a Brainfuck interpreter in C++ template metaprogramming.

I have built a very specific product preview with 3D CSS (http://www.foldable.me) and have experimented some more with 3D CSS, but struggled to find a usecase for it (other than some funky UI animations).

well, declaring a css transform as 3d, even if just using it for 2d transforms, seems to trigger GPU acceleration in some browsers, notably iOS. so, it's a new hack to use (margin: 0 auto; is so last year).
