iPhone cases are a dime a dozen these days. Walk into any mall or electronics retailer and stop by the iPhone case display. Chances are you’ll see at least eleventy billion different cases in various colors, shapes, sizes, and with all kinds of added features. The case scene is clearly a big thing. The only problem is that no matter how many different colors or shapes you have, someone else (too many someone elses) is going to have the exact same case. For some, that’s a deal breaker.
Of course, you could just be a geek too. I definitely fit in the geek category. But I’m not alone. Modder Goteking would also fit under that “geek” category thanks to his custom iPhone case…built out of a Game Boy Advance.
Watch your friends’ mouths drop and strangers twist their heads when they see what protects your iBeauty. For the utilitarian sticklers out there, it isn’t all looks with no functionality. The Goteking specifically used the GBA so that he could use the battery compartment to store the iPhone sync cable. Genius I say.

Getting just the right iPhone case for your tastes is often a quest into the vast world of 3rd party accessories for Apple’s uber phone. I’ve lost count of how many cases have come and gone over the life of me and my iPhone’s relationship. Some were good and I just simply wanted change while others were bad and I had to return them almost as soon as I opened the packaging. The individual traits we all look for in the “perfect” case are objective of course meaning that no case can truly be perfect. Some like a solid, well built, all encompassing case that sacrifices nothing in the name of protection. On the other hand, some merely seek a case that adds a different color or some other desirable physical change. The latter often don’t add as much protection as the more function minded cases for obvious reasons. So how does the line of ultra-thin cases by Blink fair? Read on…

Do you wear tin foil hats often? Sacred that every single time you cross into a wireless field of some sort you’re losing precious brain cells to an invisible thief? Well, there isn’t much you can do about those “other” wireless signals, but, if you want to do something about the radiation coming from your own iPhone, Pong Research has just the case for you. While the dangers of cell phone radiation keep getting confused between terms such as “possible” and “probable” (mountain of difference), you can yak away in safety, or so Pong Research claims with their latest Silcone case. Said case pictured above is claimed to block up to 60% of iPhone radiation aimed at your skull meaning less mutations and such further down your genetic line. The ability to save lives and what not essentially gives the makers a reason to mark the price up — $60 mark up to be exact. Now, I don’t know about you, but $60 for a Silicone case regardless if it saves my head is a steep price to pay…for some special silicone mind you. Again noting that wireless signals probably aren’t nearly as deadly as claimed, the benefit-to-cost analysis has me looking elsewhere for sixty singles.
However, if you walk through life paranoid and keep your phone on speaker phone as to keep your offspring from being born with 3 arms, the Prong Research Silicone case may be just the case for you.

Many people would consider them self free spirits in the sense that they live life in the here and now, unfettered by long term promises or goals. Why live for what may never come? Often, such individuals, being the free spirits that they are, can’t stand the daily routine of having to sit down and plug in their beloved gadgets. Thankfully there is now *kind of* (seeing as you still have to attach something to a wall via cord) a solution with the WildCharge iPhone Wireless Charger. Said charger is really a case that fits around the iPhone that will pick up go-go juice from the companion pad that it sits on top of. Again, you have to plug the pad into something so it isn’t truly wireless. But hey, it sure is better than having to actually fumble with some stupid cord isn’t it?
