Ivyskin Xylo T2 Reflect Chrome iPhone Case == Touchscreen Your iPhone Through a Hard Shell

Putting an iPhone in a case is still not something I'd do or recommend as necessary, but if you must protect your precious, here's a case that claims to protect your touchscreen with a layer of plastic, but also allow you to finger the lcd just the same. It, of course, involves some patent-pending tech which sounds like hocus pocus to me. Here's what Mike Wissman, VP of Ops for Ivyskin, gave me as an explanation.

XCM Chrome Xbox 360, From Drab to Fab(ricated)

We can't speak for everyone here, but our home theater just isn't looking tacky enough lately. Luckily there's this XCM-branded chrome Xbox 360 case replacement for HDMI-enabled models to help us reach our geek quota. Running about $60, a set of four will only set you back $240—a nominal cost to have the most unique, sought-after rims on the block. Unfortunately, the hard drive cover isn't included, nor is a new skin for your controller. Those will set you back $25 and $30, respectively, meaning that this little joke gets expensive real quick.

Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome Collection Power Razor Has a Tiny Headlight

If you can't stand the thought of a buzzing, whining electric contraption grinding away at your face every morning, maybe this new Art of Shaving Fusion Chrome Collection Power Razor with a tiny spotlight is just the face-scraping utensil you've been looking for. The luxury razor company teamed up with blademaker Gillette for this handle that fits the company's cartridge razor blades, and its heavy chrome and resin construction gives it a hefty high-quality feel. But this blade-shaving routine seems like a lot of trouble. Let's talk blade vs. electric and have a poll. More »

ChroMac Pimps Your iMac in Chrome or Gold

Is a standard iMac not gaudy enough for you? Do you feel the need to coat every piece of electronics in either gold or chrome? Do you enjoy paying a $400 to $500 premium for a fancy case? Then ChroMac is the solution! Your two options are either buying a pre-made iMac inside a chrome, gold or charcoal case, or ordering the case separately and slapping that Betty on yourself. Either way, you'll be the coolest guy in your high school. And isn't that worth $500 and your dignity? [Chromac via Crunchgear]

Latest by apstewart: I could see that being cool if they physically replaced the iMac case with a charcoal one, or even just painted it. But what I see on the site looks like a chrome cover slipped on top.. C'mon. more »

Magnum Chrome, DS Bling

The Magnum Chrome DS case is a mod for your Nintendo DS. Completely replacing the outer shell of your portable, the Magnum is actually covered in chrome, not some spray-on finish. This means your DS will be tougher and more resistant to those smudges that make us feel like pigs every time we just want to play some Mario Kart. More »

Chrome Wii: My Eyes, Oh God My Eyes!

Apparently you aren't a real Wii fan until you get some gaudy, terrible case for it to show your love. Sure, there have been some cool casemods for the Wii, but this is just terrible. Leave the chrome on your bumpers, people. Your video game system shouldn't look like rims. –Adam Frucci More »

Griffin Reflect Case: Chrome Without the Scratches, Has a Magic Window

Griffin Reflect is a unique iPod and SanDisk Sansa case that looks like the shiny back of an iPod, but instead of being made of the iPods' scratch-prone chrome, it's made of hardened plastic with a mirrored chrome finish. It also has a rubberized back, which we think might have been a better idea for the iPod in the first place. More »

Vibe Earphones Look Hot, Sound Hotter

These are the Vibe earbuds made by V-MODA. I couldn't care less what they do, as long as they are coated in gunmetal black or chrome. According to the ladies at Popgadget, the Vibe earbuds provide rich bass, warm mids and unprecedented clarity while looking sexy as hell. They also use BLISS (bass level isolating soft silicon) to reduce outside noise. You too can be sexy for $101, which isn't too bad compared to some of the other high-end earbuds out there. – Travis Hudson More »

British company Dualit are famous for making gorgeously-styled appliances, most notably their Vario line of toasters, and their new DAB digital radio is no exception to tradition. Pricey at £200 and only for use in the UK, its retro chrome good looks make that Sony radio we cooed over just the other day look like a chump. More »
