Bacon iPhone Case Is Most Savory Gadget Protector Yet [Pork]

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 14:00:00 +0000

If you're a discerning eater, you know the age-old mantra: everything's better with bacon. Out in Germany, they've really taken it to heart, and have made fabric gadget cases that look like they're constructed out of every gentile's favorite pork product. The Bacon Case seems to come in different sizes, at least one of which can fit the iPhone, and is selling for 25 Euro. The description's all in German, and I don't know what or who a "Frühstücksspeck" is, but the case is "Absolute Trendtasche!!!" and who am I to argue with that? More pictures after the jump.

TGIF: now I have time to apply the Invisible Shield!

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 16:15:40 +0000

The Invisible Shield

The weekend might be imminent, but for me it is going to include probably one of the most complicated screen protectors installs I’ve ever attempted. What am I talking about? Well, I ordered the Invisible Shield (see previous post here) after lamenting the poor performance of the other screen protectors I got for the iPhone 3G.

Apparently this bad boy is the screen protector to end them all, with front and back coverage, including the iPhone 3G contours (which ain’t easy to do from a flat cover). The way this is accomplished is to provide a flat sheet, with slits in the corners – so that when applied to a curved surface, the slits allow the sheet flexibility to curve around the iPhone’s edges.

The same sort of principle is used in breast-lift surgery, where a keyhole excision is made, in order to allow the nipple to be moved up the breast, and the (smaller) tissue/skin surface area to be sutured together in a natural curve. Nice.

Just to clarify, I won’t be doing any plastic surgery as such – although the Invisible Shield is made of some kind of plastic amalgam that is incredibly strong, yet still allows touch.

Anyway, I’ll let you know about success or failure once I got tha bad boy stuck down – wish me luck!

PS: the instructions say to turn the device off for 24 hours, and allow the invisible shield to try – right, cause that’s practical…

iPhone 3G: cases

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:32:23 +0000

The Contour Hardskin case on the iPhone 3G

Yee-argh. Cases make your iPhone look ugly. I’ve heard some reports recently that they can even scratch your iPhone. That SUCKS. But, if it’s the right case, it can provide much needed protective haven for the uber-device – hence my purchase of one.

And to be fair, I’ve got a strange one – it’s a case from a company called Contour and the specific model is the “Contour HardSkin iPhone 3G Case”. Any of you got one?

I say it’s a strange case for a couple of reasons – first of all, it really only protects from abrasion, not impact – because the case splits in two (quite easily) along the edges – meaning if it took a bang the case would boomerang away, spilling it’s contents on to a (probably hard) surface.

It’s also not the cheapest thing ever - £20 is a bit steep methinks, but who has got time to browse the InterWeb for (a) the right case at (b) the right price? Not me these days…

So am I using the case? No. Why? Well…

1) I’ve yet to find a screen protector I like (see here) – a case without a screen protector is like shoes without laces….

2) It’s doesn’t protect from impacts

3) It’s just a little little little bit ugly

But other than that, the case performs to spec – it has some silly, strange clippable covers for the power and volume buttons, but you’ll bin them immediately if you get this case – I did.

So overall it’s like a 6.5/10 for the case – does anyone have a better suggestion to protect the iPhone 3G? If so, comments please!

(You can check out the case here)
