Years ago, I was a huge fan of the TV show 24, and although the mobile phones of choice were often Sprint/Nextel models (thanks, product placement), I often wondered if the show had continued, what technologies we’d see. Long story short, if Jack Bauer had an iPhone, the Survivor, a $50 ruggedized case from Griffin would be his case of choice…
I’ll admit, I was a little put off at first by the SwitchEasy RibCage iPad case just because of the look. This simple slipcase features features faux-leather on one side and a plastic panel that looks like a human ribcage on the other. It didn’t seem to be quite up my alley, but after I used it for just a couple hours, I realized that it was a pretty good case…
Leather cases have been a technology staple from the earliest days of the handheld calculator. Durable, classy, and professional, devices are protected. SwitchEasy, longtime maker of plastic or rubber cases tries their hand at leather iPhone cases with the Duo, a $30 leather slipcase…
Chances are, if you have an iPhone, it will serve as either your primary GPS navigation device or a handy spare at one point or another. Unfortunately, the built-in Google Maps-based app is a bit clunky, forcing you to buy a GPS application or deal with its quirks.

Unlike Apple’s iPad 2-oriented options, the Magazine Jacket comes in any color and material you like, as long as it’s a black synthetic material…
Generally we don’t review apps developed by Apple, especially since many define a category and third-parties stay away. That being said, we have been using Apple’s GarageBand for the iPad for the past few weeks and thought it would be worthwhile to evaluate if it should have a place on your home screen…
About two years ago, we reviewed the Foofbag, a sleeve for Apple’s MacBook family. As the company originally made cases for the iPod, it made sense for the iPad to also get in on the action. The Foofbag for iPad sells for $24AUD (about between $22 and $24 US), but was previously $28AUD. Just like its laptop-accommodating siblings, the Foofbag for the iPad features an array of designs, including tweed, corduroy, cotton, fleece, or anything else the crew over at Foof are able to get their hands on…
