As far as we can tell this $US65 faux Cobra iPhone case serves three primary purposes.
We’ve been impressed by G-Form’s ugly, abuse-proof iDevice cases before: an iPhone was used as a hockey puck, and we beat the living hell out of an iPad. But the newest case didn’t save my iPhone from horrific suicidal death.
Man, how much does it suck when your girlfriend’s dad spots the tell-tale embossing of a prophylactic secreted away in your wallet? Really? No one? Honestly, I’m not that surprised, but it hasn’t stopped Australia-based Annex Products from coming up with the “Playa Case”, a specially designed iPhone cover with its own secret compartment for stowing your latex.
It might be waterproof to 30m, but TAT7′s iPhone Scuba Case only includes three strategically-placed mechanical buttons for launching and operating the default camera app. So updating your Facebook profile from Davy Jones’ locker isn’t going to happen.
There are those of us who believe Velcro should only be used in children’s footwear. Not in clothing, not in bags, and absolutely definitely certainly not in the padded dividers that protect your camera gear. Sooo annoying. If you agree, you might want to help fund the TrekPak.
You might think cross-stitching is for bored Puritans and nursing home artists — and maybe you’re kind of right — but you can cross-stitch yourself one of the coolest custom cases we’ve ever seen.
There’s no end to the number of kickstand-equipped iPhone cases you can buy, but most are designed to let you prop up your phone for watching movies. The iFilm, however, is like a tiny tripod for capturing movies instead.
There’s no shortage of iPhone cases with built-in backup batteries, but the JuiceTank is the first to instead incorporate a wall charger. So you can leave your charging cable at home, but still top off the battery wherever you find an outlet.
The Dodocase is the top shelf, elegant prince among iPad cases. It looks like a book! An old book — so it’s classy and expensive, just like you. Now the hand bound cases come in rainbow colours. Classy!
Apple employs countless designers and engineers who do everything they can to squeeze as much functionality into the iPhone while keeping it slim and pocket-friendly — only to have case makers come along and create monstrosities like this ridiculous half mug.
