Cheap, external hard drive enclosures are almost as plentiful as cheap iPhone cases. And while most PC users probably couldn’t care less how one looks, I suspect that a good number of Mac users are a little more discerning. So while at $26 this enclosure certainly delivers on the cheap, it also manages to deliver on the looks. The glowing Apple logo is what will probably catch most Mac user’s eyes, even if it’s completely unsanctioned by Apple. While the metal trim should appeal to anyone using an iPhone 4.
As for tech specs, for the price it’s obviously limited to USB 2.0, and will accept a 2.5-inch SATA/2 hard drive up to 500GB in capacity. And since it snaps together, you don’t even need to dig out your mini screwdriver kit to assemble it. $25.95 from Amazon.

Hmmm… It is selling for $100 now.
It won’t last long either, remember the ihub? that seems to be selling again, but it was a huge legal dispute.
Exactly. It has an Apple logo on it, and since Apple didn’t make it themselves, there’s an instant legal dispute.
And if it is selling for $100, I at least want USB 3.0 on it. Sure it’s pretty, but slow.

This could be because; they actually sold out, or far more likely, they got a CaD
