We’re always on the lookout for cool/innovative iPhone accessories. One such device that crossed our path today is a spawn of mechanical engineer Hieu Ngyen’s creative mind — the Magnicase. Quite simply, the Magnicase uses a built in lens that increases the iPhone 4/4S’ display from 3.5″ to something closer to 5.3″. Ngyen claims the Retina display on an iPhone is dense enough that even after magnifying/stretching to ~5.3″, a new...
Typically when we geek out about battery chargers or battery cases, we’re talking about a device that you must at some point, plug into the wall to recharge itself.

Now that we have the iPad rumors and even behind us, it’s time for the tech world to focus on Apple’s next mobile phone. The rumors really never died down since the iPhone 4S was launched, but we kind of shifted focus on what Apple would give us in tablet form.
