Case-Maker Proporta Shows Alleged iPod Nano on Their Website

Kit Eaton — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:17:00 EDT

iPod case manufacturer Proporta has posted images of its new cases, with what seems to be the new iPod nanos inside. Like with the allegedly leaked image of the interface, we don't know if these are real or not. Certainly, the nano looks like it's been inserted in Photoshop. Check the gallery and tell us what you think.

The clips on that flip-top case certainly look like they aren't flush with the body of the superimposed iPod inside—which also looks like it overlaps the lid—and the screens on each nano seem to be slightly different proportions. So we think it's a Photoshop job. [Proporta via ForoiPhone]

Asus Eee Crystal Case Actually Made of Plastic (But Still Good)

Mark Wilson — Mon, 12 May 2008 08:52:00 EDT

Asus Eee fandom has no bounds, and while replacing the case on most laptops seems preposterous, for the Eee it's just another day of tiny typing and eye strain at the office. This Crystal Case by Proporta is constructed of scratch/shock resistant polycarbonate, but maybe more impressively, features a double hinge that adds 360 degrees of screen rotation to the Eee (perfect for the touchscreen-modded system). Personally, I could use about another 15 degrees of tilt on my Macbook Pro—not for my own use, but for every time a friend checks their email and attempts to push the screen beyond its natural bounds. Ooh, I get shivers just thinking about it. [Product via BBGadgets]

UPDATE: Yes, it looks like a case protector rather than replacement...so no touchscreen fun.

Proporta Laptop Battery Gives You Extra Laptop, USB Juice

Jason Chen — Thu, 05 Jul 2007 15:00:44 EDT

If carrying around an extra laptop battery isn't enough, take a look at this Proporta Portable Laptop Battery. It's an external battery which has multiple types of connectors to fit all sorts of laptops, but also has the capability to charge USB gadgets as well.

With the somewhat generous 6000mAh charge, you can make sure both your iPod and your Lenovo is juiced up enough for whatever it is you have to have your laptop for. Yahoo Pool in the wilderness, we suppose.

Proporta Gadget Bag: Lots of Space, Plenty of Compartments To Fill

Gizloco — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 09:09:43 EST

Hell if I knew, but kids today love them some gadget bags. UK-based Proporta just released one of their own, the cleverly named Proporta Gadget Bag. Proporta divided the inside of the bag into several different compartments, making it easier to lug around gadgets of all shapes and sizes—and uses! There's also a few slits inside to thread your headphone cables (or whatever) through.

I see this bag being useful for two types of people: folks who carry an appalling number of gadgets with them (i.e. most of us here), or folks who need to walk around Chelsea with brand new fashion accessories. Hey, whatever works for you, sailor. – Nicholas Deleon

Proporta Cases Make Zune Safe for Socializing

Gizloco — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 15:32:42 EST

You know, it isn't just the iPod that gets tricked out accessories and protective cases every fourteen seconds. Proporta just announced a bunch of cases for the Microsoft Zune, which is good news for all those Zune users out there. Three cases—aluminum, leather and silicone—all serve to protect your precious Zune from the bumps and bruises of being involved in The Social. The silicone case comes in at $20, while the other two, far fancier cases clock in at $35. Expect more case and accessory madness next week. We know how much you adore such things. (Apparently, these cases are so hot off the presses that all Proporta has is these incredibly zoomed in pictures. Very convenient.) – Nicholas Deleon

Proporta Solar-Powered Bluetooth GPS Receiver

Travis Hudson — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:57:44 EDT

Got tumor? You might, after using this device. The Proporta Solar-Powered Bluetooth GPS receive has so many invisible signals going in and out of the device your health may be a concern.

This device can turn your PDA or Smartphone into a GPS system. It is completely wireless—powered by solar waves and connecting to your PDA device via Bluetooth. The product page suggests combining this device with the TomTom navi software for voice-guided navigation. At $110, this device seems like a nice addition to any gadget arsenal—watch out for all of those waves, though. The combination of solar, GPS and Bluetooth can't be safe for the 'ole noggin. – Travis Hudson
