Unlike many of the popular co-molded cases on the market today, Double Injected TPU Case doesn’t combine plastic and rubber. Rather, it fuses together two colors of soft, flexible plastic into one cohesive case. Specifically, there’s the main body, and there’s a band running around the outer edge. Pop the […] Read the original post…

We’ve seen plenty of novel screen protector application systems, but Tylt’s new ALIN ($25) might be one of the smartest yet. Coming with three clear films, an anti-glare film, a cleaning cloth, and a squeegee, the key to the system is the plastic alignment tool. Your iPhone 5 or 5s […] Read the original post…

Thanks to cutouts that correspond to the Home Button on the bottom and camera, earpiece, and sensors on the top, lining the protector up is easy, and it’s more forgiving than standard films if you need to adjust it. Once on, there’s a little bit of added bulk, as well […] Read the original post…

Compared to the prior version of the case, this one’s layers are much more difficult to separate. We found it easier to simply pop the case in with the plastic and rubber already together, rather than to split them apart first. But once it’s assembled, the case feels a bit […] Read the original post…

The case has a soft-touch finish to its hard plastic back, with a quarter-inch strip of rubber running along the outside border. This, along with the size and shape of the port openings on the bottom, and the dampening of the Sleep/Wake Button, are carryovers from [OVRMLD]. Really, the only […] Read the original post…

The iPod easily snaps into the holder, although getting it out is more of a challenge. Only the left and right edges are covered—there’s a break for the volume controls—while the top and bottom are left exposed. What’s most obviously missing is any sort of liquid protection, to keep sweat […] Read the original post…

Once the case has been installed, it fits snugly around the body of the iPhone 5c, and rises just a little over the height of the screen. The first quarter inch or so has a frosted finish, while the rest is clearer, but not totally transparent. All four versions of […] Read the original post…

Continuing a design element found in most battery cases these days, offGRID splits apart into separate front and back pieces. There’s the plastic sled that houses the battery, making the physical Lightning connection with the iPhone, and then a bumper that goes around the top, bottom, and sides, snapping in […] Read the original post…

It’s definitely not for everybody, but the case’s design is certainly eye-catching. The pattern and texture really set it apart from virtually everything else available for iPhones right now. Unlike some rubber cases, Azteka doesn’t get stuck when it’s pulled out of a pocket, and the fit is tight enough […] Read the original post…

Similar to prior CapsuleRebel designs, Hero is a two-piece case with a glossy rubber body, and a hard plastic insert that fits onto the back for structure and support. It’s SwitchEasy’s bulkiest case from the current lineup, and the thickness can be felt in every dimension. Of course, the thick […] Read the original post…

Case-Mate has launched Style Box, a new risk-free trial program for the company’s luxury iPhone 5/5s cases. Style Box gives users an assortment of Case-Mate cases to try for free for seven days; the goal appears to be to get users to purchase more than one iPhone case, possibly even […] Read the original post…

Porsche Design is known for its industrial aesthetic, often incorporating metal elements and simple, clean lines into established accessories. The new LaCie Porsche Design USB Key ($30-$50) takes the company’s theory to its logical endpoint: it’s a brushed steel stick, packing a USB 3.0 connection and your choice of 16 […] Read the original post…
