$6,900 for an iPad case, are you kidding me?! We Apple geeks do pay a little more for Apple products but this is ridiculous. It’s expensive and made from a reptile.

The $7,000 iPad Case
Primo Power Core - A Battery Pack For All
PhoneSuit has just released a new accessory that works for any of your iDevices called the Primo Power Core Battery Back. The Primo Power Core is a “personal, portable, pocket-sized power plant”. It has an impressive 8200mAh capacity battery in a small, lightweight package and enough power to fully charge most mobile devices multiple times on a single charge. The Primo Power Core features automatic amp-switching technology so that your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Classic, Nano or other competing devices are charging at the fastest rates possible. Plug it in to extend movie watching, music or podcast listening, surfing the web, or playing video games.
iFan - For Those Hot Summer Nights
Not everyone has the iPhone 4, with its improved lithium-polymer battery that lets you work longer, play longer … you get the point. I charge my phone every night and even throughout the daytime to keep it alive. Designer Tjeerd Veenhoven has created the iFan - a piece of hardware / case made from molded soft rubber with a fan on top that recharges your iPhone via windpower. Wrap it around your iPhone and run like the wind; or maybe the bike mount concept appeals to you more.
Amplify Your iPhone’s Sound with the New Phonofone III
Years ago, RCA Victor (now just RCA) symbolized a dog named Nipper looking into a Phonograph as their advertising icon. Look how far we’ve come - Nipper is being replaced with an iPhone, thus the Phonofone III by Science and Sons.
A Wooden MacBook Case I’d Actually Buy
Usually, I’m not into wooden accessories. Heck, I’m not even a fan of wooden-like interfaces (hello, iBooks) – I just don’t like the feeling of wood when put next to a shiny Apple product.
The wooden cases from BlackBox, though, are a different thing of beauty. They are detailed, hand oiled, hand rubbed and numbered. They are unique pieces made for the exclusive Apple user. And they don’t come cheap: $129 for the 13” and 15” cases.
Still: they look good. Even to someone who’s not into this kind of accessories. [Gizmodo via BlackBox]
The Making Of The Glif [Video]
The Glif is an iPhone accessory we’re really looking forward to. It’s a tripod mount / stand for the iPhone 4 we’ve covered quite a few times in the past, and now the project is nearing completion with mass production of the units at Premier Source in Brookings, South Dakota.
The creators of The Glif posted a “making of” video of the product last night, which we have embedded below. Check it out, and go pre-order it if you still haven’t. Read more
Turn Your iPhone and iPad Into Pinball Cabinets
Oh, those dear old pinball machines. I used to spend actual money on those things during summer at the beach – I remember there was a Spider Man one at the bar I somehow managed to break the record on. Anyway, the money-spending trend stopped when I found out that there were well-done pinball videogames (bear with me, I was 10) and, years later, iPhone apps for that.
For as much as they look “real”, apps and console games don’t give you that feeling of touching the whole structure, tilting and pressing buttons. No wonder building an actual pinball machine requires a lot of money: each machine is a work of art and state-of-the art engineering. If you’re feeling like you don’t want to go back to spending bucks on real machines and you want to keep playing pinball on your iOS devices, here comes a cabinet for iPhone and iPad that does just that: it turns the phone and tablet into pinball cabinets, with working flipper buttons and the possibility to tilt.
You just have to place the device inside the mini-machine and download the free app to play. That’s it. Sounds awesome! Too bad the iPad version isn’t available now and will cost you $79.95 once it’s out. The Pinball Magic for iPhone is in stock and available at $29.95. [Gizmodo via Brookstone]

The Glif: Now Available
Small, simple, and elegant. That’s what we were going for when we created the Glif. But out of this simple design emerges countless uses. Mount your iPhone 4 to a tripod for taking great pictures or making movies. Prop your iPhone up for hands-free FaceTiming or to watch videos.
The tripod mount and stand for the iPhone 4 we’ve come to know and love. You can have one for 20 bucks, and shipping begins in 2-3 weeks.
The Glif, A Success So Far→
The Glif, A Success So Far
The Glif’s designers hoped to raise $10,000 to produce a few hundred iPhone 4 tripod adapters. Dan Provost and Thomas Gerhardt planned to do most of the fiddly final assembly, packaging, and mailing themselves. Instead, the project brought in $137,417 in crowdfunded contributions via Kickstarter over 30 days. The pair have been scrambling to keep up with success.
Whole post is worth a read. I can’t wait for my Glif to arrive. [via DF]
