TakTik By LunaTik, Most Bad Ass iPhone Case

June 21, 2012/ Nir Schneider

LunaTik's TakTik is the most bad ass, most over-engineered iPhone case we've ever seen to date. And it even looks like it'll serve you as some self defence weapon with all of that aura of toughness surrounding it. LunaTik wants to redefine protection with the TakTik case, but it also looks like it managed to redefine the case designs of today too. LunaTik's TakTik is done right from all angles and doesn't skimp on any little detail.

It features a shockproof suspension system featuring a 9mm Impact Truss silicone perimeter compressed between two durable Ballistic polymer bezels or anodized aluminum bezels depending on the TakTik case model you end up getting. The front bezel includes an adhered compression seal liner to protect from rain seeping into the case. The rear of the case features an unobstructed camera opening that maintains brilliant photo and flash quality almost as if the case wasn't there. This sandwich construction compresses the silicone truss with the help of multiple steel torx screws creating a suspension system to cradle your iPhone like the precious baby it is.

Ports including mic and speaker holes are completely sealed against the threat of water with Gore Acoustic audio pass-thru membrane technology and rubber gasket plugs. The TakTik also features a machined aluminum headphone port hinge cover that was inspired by Panerai watches. The dock connector port plug is also made out of machined aluminum ensuring durability and better sealing that won't fail after daily usage. Finally, a small patent-pending silent button inspired by a gun safety switch will let you easily activate your vibrate switch on and off. Despite the bulk of this case, every single feature of the iPhone has been dearly taken care of with ingenious attention to detail by LunaTik.

The TakTik case can also be upgraded to have a tough Gorilla Glass screen protector complete with anti-glare and anti-smudge coatings in order to provide another layer of screen protection that isn't going to impede on sensitivity or on your finger-smooth gliding action. LunaTik's TakTik case for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 is available to pre-order via Kickstarter starting at $75 (will retail for $100), in white, black, silver and anodized aluminum colors. LunaTik is also promising a TakTik case for the upcoming iPhone 5. Head over to the TakTik product page for more. Catch the video after the break!

April 19, 2012/ Nir Schneider

This sliced up case isn't just edgy, it's simply practical. The Coin 4 by Urban Prefer is a refreshing take on a simple snap-on iPhone case that's designed with an uber-modern crisscross pattern that creates deep grooves so that you can wedge a coin in-between to create an instant stand. How awesome is that?

Finding the best spot to insert your coin will change the prop angle, and of course each coin will have a different angle effect. Urban Prefer's Coin 4 hard shell snap-on style case fits both iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S and it's available now in six colors with a matte, soft-touch finish for $25.

The Playa iPhone Case Stores Your Condom, Offers Dual Protection

April 03, 2012/ Nir Schneider

The guys behind the Playa case are a bunch of party rockers. First they make the Opena, an iPhone case with a slide-out bottle opener and now this. The Playa case for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 is a snap-on style hard case that protects your iPhone like any traditional polycarbonate made case, but it also protects you from all sorts of unwanted trouble. A hidden compartment slides open good enough to store up to two condoms, so you'll be covered when the time comes to get it in. Because a wallet is no place for a condom.

The Playa case truly offers dual protection wouldn't you say? The sleekishly glossy Playa case will be available in three colors just in time for the summer at $29.95. Catch the video after the break!

JuiceTank Case Lets you Charge Your iPhone 4S From Any Power Outlet

March 15, 2012/ Nir Schneider

It was only a matter of time before a case like the JuiceTank by Detached came along. It's the world's first iPhone 4S case that lets you plug and charge directly from any power outlet without ever having to use a charging cable ever again. Literally, now that the iPhone can sync with iTunes wirelessly, who needs cables? Mind blown. The protective case itself is made from polycarbonate with a soft-touch rubberized interior and houses the retractable flat blade prongs. It'll still have a micro-USB port in case you want to plug in a USB cable. The bad? With this comes a few limitations like not having a built-in rechargeable battery and the fact that using your iPhone while its plugged into a power socket can be somewhat awkward. And it'll only come in the US, Canada and Mexico plug variant. Detached, if you're listening, you're case is awesome and all but the only thing missing is a built-in rechargeable battery. Make it happen!

The JuiceTank case is set to retail $70 and is now available to pre-order over at Kickstarter for $55.
