Unique Quirky iPhone 5 Cases

Quirky partnered up with Fab to release a series of unique and slim iPhone 5 cases. The $35 Crossover case (above) particularly caught our eye. It's a clip-on, bumper-esque case made from two customizable stretchy silicone bands that overlay each other to create a credit card slot around the back while also adding reinforced corner protection. 

Quirky's $35 Luminum is an aluminum iPhone 5 case that's designed to Apple's iPhone 5 specs which instruct not to cover the top and bottom areas with metal. The Luminum is an ulta-slim, minimalist case that was designed to compliment the original look of the iPhone 5. It features a brushed aluminum mid section available in silver, copper and black - with plastic ends coated with a rubbery finish. Quirky's line of iPhone 5 cases are available to pre-order, but are expected to ship in 5-6 weeks.

Quirky Mantis Clip-On LED Task Lamp

Another quirky gadget comes to us from Quirky called the Mantis, an LED task lamp with a clip. You can use the attachable clip to hook the Mantis under your iMac so shine some light on your keyboard or you can even use it as a free-standing desk lamp. The Mantis is only powered by two AA batteries, that is a con right there. The 11 bright LEDs have two light intensity settings for high and low light. Until Apple comes out with an illuminated desktop keyboard, the Mantis seems like a useful gadget. The Mantis is currently on pre-sale for $26.99 over at Quicky, which is similar to the Kickstarter method of funding new inventions.
