Default Put content on "Background" of grouped UITableView? (Like iPhone Contacts App)

I've been trying to replicate the interface of the iPhone Contacts application for an app I'm writing for a client. I've been able to figure out that it's essentially just a grouped UITableView with no section headers. I can get all of the data to display as I want to by just checking the section number and putting in the data I want to show.

However, I'd like to put the person's name on the background at the top of the screen, exactly where a person's picture and name show when you are viewing a contact. Also, I have two buttons that I need to put at the bottom of the screen, just like the 2 that currently exist there in the Contacts app.

Anyone have any idea how to achieve this?
(My idea was something like: force it to draw a "transparent" custom cell then add the controls as sub views, am I on the right track here?)

you use table headers and footers. Apple sample code is a tremendous resource, there is lots on table views and all their aspects.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know table headers/footers existed and I missed that source example.

There is an example on developer.apple.com that gave me EXACTLY what I needed. (It's called headerfooter in case anyone wanted to check it out).
