Case-Mate's Naked Case for iPhone Claims Touch-Through Fingering

Case-Mate claims to be the world's first touch-through case for the iPhone or iPod Touch, but that honor seems to be taken by the Ivyskin Xylo T2 Reflect Chrome case we saw last week. Even though Case-Mate's edition is just slightly late, their Naked Case looks slightly thinner than the Ivyskin's, even though both of them have a technology that transfers your touch through the protective membrane onto the iPhone's screen.

MartinLogan Spire Speakers— $8,500 of Electrostatic Sound

These new electrostatic speakers from MartinLogan have some fancy-sounding tech built in, and are hand built too. There's the ultra-rigid "AirFrame™" Curvilinear Line Source XStat audio transducer, and a selectable 35Hz equalization option— to better suit your room acoustics. The cabinets come in a variety of woods including maple, wenge, and rotary-cut bubinga. It's a shame I'll never get to hear what the sound quality is like, though: they are $8,500 a pair. For that you do get 200W of sound with apparently "flawless precision." And a pair of very good looking floor-standing speakers. Available soon. [MartinLogan via Ecoustics]
