Shaped like a larger Disco 2/Twin/3 that’s been cut in half and laid on its side, Disco 4 resembles a boxy, cropped-off megaphone thanks to its new signature design feature — a rubber top handle. As the only new material on the otherwise matte plastic and fabric-faced speaker, the handle […] Read the original post…

If you’ve been a Mac fan for years, you might remember Griffin’s original PowerMate. A simple silver dial, it was a neat USB accessory that let you scroll or change volume levels as you turned it.

Much like Griffin’s earlier Protector Case, Merchant Case is all silicone. It easily fits onto the iPhone, protecting the Sleep/Wake and volume buttons without having any impact on their tactility. The case is taller, wider, and thicker than Protector, or most other cases, although that’s largely attributable to what it’s […] Read the original post…
