Kids Will Never Be Able To Afford Their Own Sesame Street iPad Cases

Parents, don’t heed the call of Elecom, Griffin and countless other purveyors of simple black cases. Now that Sesame Street has iPad and iPhone cases starting at $US15, your kiddywinks won’t accept anything less. [DreamGear via ChipChick via Technabob]

dreamGEAR Wii GameBlaster Looks Better Than Nintendo’s

Unlike the official Nintendo Wii lightgun accessory that has the trigger up in the front hand—which is more awkward than Frankenstein dancing—the dreamGEAR Wii GameBlaster has only one trigger, and it’s in the back. Also unlike the official gun, it takes in both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk controller and connects the two without visible wires. This actually looks better than the real thing, and if you can somehow reprogram the trigger button in-game to be on the Nunchuk instead of on the Wiimote, you’ve got yourself the optimal zombie shooting experience.

DreamGear Soft Sports Kit May Reduce Wii-Remote-Induced Facial Bruising

We’ve all been known to smack a fellow Wii Tennis player in the head, especially when down 40-Love, two games to zilch. DreamGear’s new Soft Sports Kit has playful Nerf-like attachments that help avoid the subsequent stitches. You put your Wiimote right into a little casing, then snap on the tip of your choice, Tennis, Golf or Baseball. (What, no Boxing Gloves?) It looks a little hokey, but it might just give Adam the edge he needs to finally beat me, cuz clearly nothing else works. Look for these soon for $US25—per Wii remote. [DreamGear.net]
