Shibaful iPhone Case Wraps Your Phone Around Yoyogi Park

By Hazel Chua on 05/27/13 • Leave a comment!

Shibaful

Love the feeling of young grass on your feet? How would you like to experience the same sensation on your hands whenever you reach for your phone? That’s what you can expect when you get the Shibaful case for your iPhone.

It’s a lush case that’s modeled after the grass at the Yoyogi Park in Tokyo. The Shibaful might look like a novelty item, but it’s actually a functional piece of art of sorts. It’s made using electrostatic flocking, where five differently-colored fiber particles are dropped from above. This causes the formation of the distinct grassy texture of the Shibaful.

Scentee Phone Attachment Lets You ‘Smell’ Messages and Emails on Your iPhone

Scentee

Manufacturers are working behind the clock to come up with a system that’ll make Smell-o-Vision a reality. This way, people will be able to experience more of what they’re watching by stimulating another sense as they watch the tube. Touch might seem far-off at this point, but smell certainly doesn’t.

Aside from possibly being integrated to televisions soon, a Japanese firm wants to change how you read your email and text messages by letting you “smell” them.

Fuel Emergency Charger Gives Your Phone Some Extra Power When You Need It the Most

By Hazel Chua on 03/27/13 • Leave a comment!

Fuel Charger

There are a number of portable phone chargers currently available, but most of these are bulky and are pretty much a hassle to carry around–especially if you’re a guy (who doesn’t carry a bag) or a girl (who doesn’t carry a purse).

And then came the Fuel emergency charger. It’s creators claim that it’s ‘the world’s smallest cell phone charger’, and they might just be right. It’s the same size as your typical keyring–it measures 1.3 by 0.9 by half an inch–but don’t let it’s compact size fool you.

SmartPants Cover Your Smartphone’s Privates

SmartPants

Most people aren’t aware of it, but they’re actually guilty of indecent exposure most of the time. Because even though your tush remains covered and snug inside your underpants, you’ve forgotten to cover your iPhone’s derriere–and that’s a big no-no in the phonesphere.

We kid. Obviously your phone doesn’t have any private parts (aside from the ones contained within it, both figuratively and literally) but if you want to dress your phone up either way then you can get some of these SmartPants.

Make Emergency Calls Anytime, Anywhere with the SpareOne Phone

By Hazel Chua on 01/16/13 • Leave a comment!

SpareOne Emergency

The first thing most people do when disaster strikes is call 911 when they’re in trouble. When they’re not, they immediately bring out the phone book and check up on family, friends, and other relatives. You can’t get help or reach out to give help without a phone, obviously, and it’s unfortunate that most phones in the market today don’t really have the best battery lives that’ll let you do all this in times of great emergency.

There’s one, however, that’s been recently unveiled and upgraded, and that’s the SpareOne Emergency phone.… Continue Reading

These iPhone Cases With (Fake) Swappable Ears Are, Well, All Ears

By Hazel Chua on 01/03/13 • Leave a comment!

All Ears

Ever wanted to appear like you aren’t on the phone even when you actually really are? Well, at least at first glance, anyway? Then you’ll probably want to check out these All Ears iPhone cases by Fred and Friends that are literally all ears. This isn’t the first time that someone decided to make a phone case featuring the body part where they’re likely to be used on, but these are probably some of the quirkiest ones I’ve ever seen.

These will also give you more bang for your buck because you’re sort of getting six different cases in one. The All Ears case comes in two versions: the guy version and the girl version. Each comes with a hard-plastic clear case and six different ear inserts that range from tame ears to wild and crazy-looking ones.

Blokket Signal Jammer Pouch Lets You Go Off the Grid When You Want To

By Hazel Chua on 09/25/12 • 1 Comment

Blokket Signal Jammer

Life can get pretty hectic sometimes, and it doesn’t help to have your phone ringing and beeping endlessly with new messages, status updates, and notifications just when you’re about to grab some shut-eye. In cases like these, you need the Blokket Signal Jammer. Okay, so you don’t really need it, since you can just power off your phone or turn the airplane mode on. But will you really give up on the chance to show off to your equally geeky buddies? I wouldn’t.

The Blokket Signal Jammer is a handy dandy RFID blocker that’ll block radio frequencies up to 99.7%. Aside from coming in handy to put your phone out of commission when you want to take a break, you can also put your passport and chipped ID cards inside to protect your identity and personal information from falling into the wrong hands.

Check out another view of the Blokket Jammer pouch after the break.

I’m Touchscreen Watch Is Awkwardly Named

By David Ponce on 11/07/11 • Leave a comment!

By David Ponce

So that’s its name: “I’m.” We know, weird. Nevertheless, it’s a watch with a curved 1.5-inch, 240 x 240 TFT screen with capacitive touch capabilities. The device links up to your phone via Bluetooth for caller ID information as well as data tethering. You can also use it to do the kinds of things that fishing around in your pocket for your phone might be inconvenient. Like getting quick stock quotes, getting a preview of an email, viewing an image gallery, etc. It’s alleged to be running a modified version of Android 1.6 and has 64MB RAM and 4GB storage. It’s a bit like those watches made up of an iPod nano, only with phone features.

The watches start at €249 ($342USD) and go up from there, as there appear to be versions blinged out with some gold and jewels, although these are on pre-order at the moment. However, very little is known about this company so we’re not going to give you any go-aheads until actual products are in customers’ hands. We won’t lie though: we’d be very disappointed if any of our readers has €10,000 to spend on a fancy watch. And yes, some models cost that much.
