    I bought one of those ny coffee mugs at alphabets on 6th and a about 3 years ago. That's my favorite coffee mug by far. Besides the cute factor, it just feels really good in your hand. Hard to describe, but it has a nice tactile feel to it, I really like the fake paper seam up the side.

    I agree with not covering beautiful things with ugly, slightly more functional crap. I disagree with one thing though; the iPhone is not beautiful.

    The incase cases look great and do an excellent job protecting your iphone.

    They are stupid expensive but worth it.

    Mr Ive didn't pay for my iPhone replacement when my uncased iPhone took a tumble a couple of weeks back.

    Until the replacements are on his bob, that pretentious bloke can piss off. There's nothing wrong with iPhone cases.

    It's just plain stupid to advise against cases. I just shelled out £200 for a new 3rd gen 32GB iPod touch and the first* thing I did was shove that motherfucka in a nice Belkin leather folio case. Provided you don't get a shit ass case your iPod/iPhone can look just as good wrapped in something that protects both its form and its function.

    I generally like to preserve both these aspects of my devices. But if I have to sacrifice one it'd be the looks every time. A broken device is useless and therefore its design is useless. There's only so much you can appreciate about the design of a paperweight.

    Plus unless you have money to burn on replacements then if you crack or scratch your phone generally its design and beauty are ruined anyway so you've lost both. Better to sacrifice some measure of style for the security of keeping your investment intact.

    My advice is just don't buy ugly cases. Get a nice one, keep your beautiful screen unscratched and fully functional.

    * The second thing I did was jailbreak it.

    Only way I'd want a gadget case is if it was that fancy-pants new case Apple's using on their iPods for point-of-sale with the card swipe and barcode scanner on it.

    Saw it here on Giz first, and it's absolutely stunning. Well worth the $17 on Amazon.

    I so want a trip to Kennedy to watch the shuttle launch. All that other stuff is OK, but shuttle launch is tops.
