tapStick largeWhen is a case not a case?

When it also gives you control over your iPod Shuffle and allows you to use your own cans without having to use Scosche’s adapter.

Scosche’s new iPod shuffle case, the tapSTICK (no – not Chapstick!), is now available and it looks pretty neat.

The Scosche tapSTICK simply slides onto the iPod shuffle.

It does increase the little shuffle’s length a little but small price to pay for being able to shove your favourite headphones directly into the unit.

The other fabby thing about this case-cum-control unit is that all the regular buttons are replicated on the side – including the voice description of a song.

If I had a Shuffle I’d go to Scosche’s site and pay the £24.95 asking price for the tapSTICK iPod shuffle case!

kicksterSince first clapping my eyes on Digi Dude I’ve enjoyed Quirky’s work.

Now they’ve gone and slapped down another one of their painfully cool ‘designed by community’ offerings – this time for the new iPod Nano 5G.

The Kickster is a $14.35 iPod nano case that features a hard shell, cord wrap, and a kickstand that bends outward for use on a tabletop or swings downward to double as a hand grip while using the iPod nano to shoot video footage.

The Quirky.com product description reads thus:

“quirky’s kickster is an awesomely new case designed by the quirky community and apple enthusiasts worldwide within 24 hours of apple’s announcement of the 5th generation iPod nano. The community designed this scratch resistant case for the maximum combination of beauty and function.

This case maintains a slim profile while adding a ton of functionality. We’re talking: hard plastic exterior, cord wrap, shock-resistant silicone core, as well as full body and screen protection.

Oh, but that’s only half of it. This case comes packed with a hand steadying video grip that transforms into vertical and horizontal kickstands.”

Show me a decent case for 15 bucks let alone one that has been so thoroughly thought through.

The site’s taking pre-orders now for the first 300 cases.

This, by all accounts, is a real Alcatel mobile phone that is also a fully licensed Lego product.
Fantastic!

It does, however, have interchangeable faceplates.
I’m thinking this is a great [...]

iPhone Gets A Real Control Pad – iControlpad

When I first heard about this iControlPad I though it was just one of those “ideas” that would stay just that – an idea.
But now that there’s a least 1 actual, real-life, working version it kinda points at it being a possibility rather than a dream. 
On the YouTube vid you can see the iControlPad wrapped snuggly around an iPhone [...]
