Design An iPhone 4 Case For Threadless, And Griffin Will Make It

Given you can design your own t-shirt and get it made by Threadless if it’s good enough, it makes sense that Griffin’s partnered with Threadless again for an iPhone 4 case design-contest. I like this Chipset one the best. [Threadless]

Griffin’s Military-Grade iPhone Cases Can Withstand Anything… Even The Pink One

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.

Griffin’s iPod Nano Slap Bracelet Has The Early ’90s Confused

Griffin AirCurve Play Amplifies iPhone 4 Volume Without Power

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.

Now You Can Pretend Your iPad Is A Toolbox

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?
