Monday, February 13th, 2012

ThinkGeek’s iCade series of gaming peripherals for the iPhone and iPad was extended during CES 2012, but the company hadn’t shown off it’s entire range of new products for the year, as this week at the New York 2012 Toy Fair, it introduced the 8-Bitty.

Proud Concept iPhone 4/4S Case Review

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Back when mobile phones were analogue devices and four times the size of those on offer today, a leather case was the de rigueur accessory, and often given as a free gift by retailers to push a certain model.  But like the phones themselves these were often bulky or overly fussy, and unless your phone

iBend EcoSnap iPhone Case Review

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

The iBend is a clever piece of bendable plastic that supports your iPhone or iPad in a position suitable for watching videos.  I’ve reviewed both the iPhone and iPad versions before, so was pleased to hear the company was adding an iPhone case to its list of products. The iBend EcoSnap is, at first glance, a

If you’re a fan of anime and anime-style art, then you need to take a look at Boomslank, a growing design company who create t-shirts featuring their own anime artwork.  In addition to their range of t-shirts, Boomslank has recently released a series of iPhone cases, one of which we’re going to look at here.

BodyGuardz Shelter iPhone 4 Case Review

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Having already tried out and really liked the Ciderz case from Bodyguardz, I was very pleased to be offered the opportunity to review the company’s other iPhone 4 case, the Shelter.  The Ciderz is a Bumper-style edge-case which has become one of my go-to cases since writing my review, and was in fact on my

Bowers & Wilkins New C5 Headphones Could Encourage Budget-Stretching

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

The C5 comes with a true ‘Made for iPhone’ cable with inline controls and a microphone for hands-free use,

Is the Dokkiri the Ugliest iPhone 4 Case Ever?

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

I quite like my Angry Birds iPhone case, and I wouldn’t mind one of the Be@rbrick cases we featured a while back, however that’s about as far as I’ve wanted to go with animal-related cases.  But if you’re after something far more, um, beetle-y, then how about the Dokkiri? This iPhone 4 case has a rear

Shock! Skullcandy New Vandal Speaker isn’t Vulgar!

Monday, June 27th, 2011

Somewhat surprisingly, hip audio accessory manufacturer Skullcandy has announced a speaker dock for the iPhone and iPod.  While there’s nothing surprising about that exactly, it’s the subtle and actually quite classy design that shocks! Skullcandy’s range of headphones and earbuds have names ranging from the ridiculous Ink’d to the crass Smokin’ Buds, and are primarily for

Case-mate Announce a Titanium iPhone 4 Case, Charges Quite a Lot

Friday, June 24th, 2011

You may remember seeing the Snow Peak Titanium case we covered recently, and being surprised at the $119 cost for a case which, by its own admission, does very little for the phone aside from looking good.  If you did, but thought it was a bit too cheap, then Case-mate has just the product for
