The last of our case reviews today looks at XtremeMac s Verona Holsters for iPod classic and iPod touch ($30 each), photos of which say almost as much as long-time iPod owners need to know about these cases. Back in 2002, an iLounge editor described this case design once found as a free pack-in with iPods, and not popular when Apple sold it separately as follows: There s not much to say about the case. It s ordinary looking,

Review: ProClip Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel for iPod nano & iPod

Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:41:25 -0800

By premium car mount, we are referring both to features and pricing: the Padded Holder with Tilt Swivel is still part of the best series of iPod car mounts we ve seen, but it s not cheap. Unlike early ProClip Holders, which were made entirely from uncoated hard plastic, the Padded Holders are covered in a soft, velvet-like coating that won t scratch even the polished rear surfaces of recent iPods. Recently made alternatives

Belkin s two cases are virtually identical to one another except in name: the Clear Case for iPhone and Remix Acrylic for iPod touch ($30 each) are iterative sequels to Belkin s early and beautiful but flawed Acrylic Case for iPhone. That case incorporated several cool new ideas: a rotating, detachable belt clip frame that transformed into a video stand, a design that really showed off the iPhone s curves, and an included adhesive

Review: Sega of America Sonic the

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:34:36 -0800

The basic premise of the early Sonic games was simple: have fun running around and jumping in large, open environments, collecting rings until you reach the exit on the far right side of each large map. Rather than funneling you into a single straight path, Sonic s stages were often both long and tall, with multiple routes to the exit, and different sorts of obstacles in your way. One route would take Sonic through a loop-de-loop previously

Several years ago, Power Support explained its case development philosophy to us: its products might not be the least expensive, they suggested, but they ll always be amongst the best made. However, as competition in the silicone rubber case market has continued, the gulf between Power Support s surgical grade silicone case designs and their competitors has narrowed, and with superb offerings now available at low prices, can the Silicone
