Samsung Wins the Wireless Earbuds War with Retro Clamshell Cellphone Charging Cases

It turns out the big news from last week wasn’t that Samsung finally ditched the bizarre bean design for its wireless earbuds, it’s that the company plans to dominate the ‘kids of the late ‘90s’ demographic with a charging case cover that camouflages the Galaxy Buds Pro as a retro clamshell cellphone. Days after a…

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds Pro Promise Smarter, Better ANC, Without the Bean Shape

It seems like just a few months ago Samsung released its active noise-canceling Galaxy Buds Live. Oh, right, that’s because it did. And yet here we are with a brand new pair of active noise-canceling Bluetooth earbuds, Galaxy Buds Pro. They’re a little pricier than the Buds Live, but promise more intelligent (and hopefully more…

Another Reason to Never Use an iPhone Case: It Can Scratch Your iPhone Too

We’ve been on record saying that your brand new iPhone 5 doesn’t need a case, that it should always stay naked. But we get it, some of you guys like the peace of mind of protection. Grandmas love plastic on their couches! But what happens when your iPhone case actually scratches your iPhone? GASPSHRIEKFREAKTHEEFFOUT. It…

What the Hell Is a Crystal Dust Plug for Your Phone?

I know a lot of people like to throw on a lot of trinkets and flair and pizazz on your phone but would people really use this crystal dust plug? It’s a little cubic zirconia diamond that plugs into your phone’s headphone jack to add some bling and presumably protect the interior of your headphone…

Old-Fashioned Bell Accessory Guarantees You’ll Never Sleep Through Your iPhone’s Alarm

The bedside alarm clock is just one of many devices made obsolete by smartphones. But with their puny speakers it’s not impossible to sleep through a phone’s alarm. Unless you’ve got this questionable iBell Mini accessory that merges tried and tested old-fashioned alarm clock technology with new. Instead of an electronic beep, or even your…

The Scout Observer: Your Personal SATCOM, Powered by iPhone

Inside the box are a spectrum analyzer, power meter, multimeter and a Low Noise Block Downconverter. The latter…

What’s More Fun Than the Fail Whale? This Dinky Whale Speaker

How cute is this little-widdle whale speaker? It wraps around iPhones, and plugs right into the audio jack with its trusty 3.5mm jack. Unfortunately he’s native to the Korean waters, but hopefully he’ll swim over to the US where he’ll sell for around $30. [EarlyAdopterShop via Technabob]

Golfer iPhone Skin = Perfect Last-Minute Father’s Day Gift

Every Dad likes golf, right? Even if they don’t, this Golfer iPhone skin (and wallpaper!) still looks great. I mean, I don’t even like golf, but I can appreciate GelaSkins’ work here.

A Dongle That Lets You Shoot 3D on Your iPhone

This Kickstarter project is actually a great idea, if you’ve been eyeing up LG and HTC’s 3D phones enviously. It works by basically adding another camera sensor to the iPhone, via the Sthreeam dongle you attach to the base. Both 3D photos and video can be shot with the iPhone, and shown on either 2D…

Let’s Try to Guess How Much This Fancy iPhone Case Will Wind Up Costing

This is an iPhone case designed by fancy-pants watchmaker De Bethune. It’s made of full-grain alligator leather and has a pocket watch with a DB 1024 movement built in. What the hell? We’re not even going to bother trying to figure out why someone would place a pocket watch on a case intended for a…

iPhone Case With Inbuilt Kickstand Acts as a Tripod For Better Photo-Taking

Many of the iPhone 4 owners I know have pretty much given up using compact cameras, thanks to Apple’s superb camera. A Kickstarter project is trying to make those photos even better with a case that features a hidden kickstand. The Pic.me case prototype is able to rotate over 270 degrees, and hold 19 different…

Kickflip With a Recycled $200 Skateboard Deck iPhone Case

There are just five of Grove + MapleXO’s skateboard deck iPhone 4 cases left, of the ultra-limited edition 50 piece range. Made over the course of a year, 300 skateboards were slices and sanded-down into layered strips, and constructed into cases. Pretty tricky craftsmanship, to say the least. With 50 per cent of the proceeds…

A Mil-Spec, Everything-Proof iPhone Case With a Freakishly Slim Figure

At first glance, the LifeProof iPhone case just looks like a no-frills scratchguard for your do-everything lifeline. What you don’t realize is that it is mil-spec rated—meaning it is water-, dust-, snow-, and shock-proof. Most cases that carry out similar functions are considerably more bulky than this one appears to be. The case will survive…
