How to create bubbble message box similar to iPhone buildin SMS app?

I'm trying to create a table cells with a bubble message box, similar to the iPhone SMS app or iChat.

UIImage's can have borders at the sides and bottom that don't resize as the image is stretched.

The leftCapWidth and topCapHeight are the 2 properties you need to modify to achieve this.

Then create a UIImageView (using the image) of the necessary size behind your text.
