In the video below you can see the kind of antics Griffin got up to when proving how tough their Survivor Extreme-Duty Case is, including a wild tobogganing slide which would make even the Cool Runnings guys wince in pain.
Convinced you’re going to hit the bigtime with those music-creating apps you keep downloading? The StompBox works with iOS devices for foot-controlling effects like a proper pedalboard, whereas the mic stand puts the iPad’s sheet music right in front.
I think we’re all in agreement that styluses are stupid objects designed for products unworthy of our time. Now that’s settled, let’s take a look at one I’d actually buy—it’s cute, and even comes with a Crayola app.
I suppose it makes more financial sense for the third-party accessories ecosystem to churn out Apple cases and ignore the rest, but it’s good to see Griffin recognise another tablet: the Samsung Galaxy Tab. It was beginning to feel left-out!
These days, there’s a better than decent chance that your car can play MP3s on its own just fine, thank you very much. But for those of us not blessed with it, the Griffin iTrip does the trick.
What’s that, 2010? I mean, no, I’m not at all surprised that the slap bracelet is still around, but you say that there’s a miniature computer attached to the thing? Does it run AOL?
One of the simplest gadgets ever is also one of my favourites. I’m talking about Griffin’s original AirCurve, the acoustically shaped amplifier that docks and increases the iPod/iPhone’s volume. It’s now been updated for iPhone 4s, increasing music 10dB louder.
It’s half an iPad stand for easier browsing/viewing, half a carrying case for protection. I like the way it resembles a toolbox, for turning the screen body-wards and pretending you’re a builder. Is it just me who finds that appealing?
What luxury to have cabinet-mounted iPads! What luxury to have an iPad at all, really. At $US70 (plus the cost of an iPad) lazy recipe readers could have one under every cupboard in the kitchen. Sign me up for 10.
