Uniea Rebelution Skidboard

Eric Schwarz — Mon, 14 May 2012 16:00:21 +0000

The funny thing about the new iPad is that it is compatible with only certain iPad 2 cases, giving early adopters both a mix of existing options, and the opportunity for third-parties to create all-new cases. Uniea's Rebelution Skidboard may have a funny name, but it's one of the earliest folio-meets-hard-shell cases for the Apple’s newest iPad...

Continuing our iPad sleeve reviews from the SwitchEasy Thins earlier this month, we had the chance to try ColcaSac's newest product, the aptly named $60 Juan Valdez, a sleeve made out of burlap from old coffee bags. As someone who drinks too much coffee as it is, I was eager to try this sleeve with my iPad...

In a time when most of the world is concerned with the newest gadgets, I often find myself feeling slightly outdated by using an original iPad (other members of our staff have the second one, so there's plenty to go around for testing purposes). Regardless of what iPad you may be using, SwitchEasy has a case for you—the $40 Thins, a basic sleeve that is designed to fit both the original iPad and its sequel...

Silicone cases have existed for iDevices for years, and the iPhone 4 is no exception. One of the earliest cases available, the $20 Incipio dermaSHOT, takes a very familiar idea and takes it a step further in a few areas, although not nearly as unique as SwitchEasy's Colors line of cases...

Incipio Feather for iPhone 4

It seems iPhone users fit into about three camps—those who want to use their phone naked, those who want a basic case, and those who want it to survive any sort of catastrophic adventures they can throw at it. With the iPhone 4, there has been a new category of cases that aim to offer something in between nothing and the traditional case that we've seen used on most iPhones. Apple's Bumper is a great example of such product, but for those who want a little more protection, Incipio offers the Feather...

SwitchEasy Trim

A lot of people like Apple's Bumper for the iPhone 4 for the simple reason that it doesn't detract from the minimalist design of the iPhone and still protects the corners and edges against drops and bumps. For those who want to add a bit more protection (notably the back of the iPhone), SwitchEasy offers the TRIM, a $20 minimalist case that's worth checking out...
