In case you haven't noticed, iHome doesn't just make speaker docks you'll find in just about every hotel there is. iHome's latest pair of headphones have a retro-style design and are partly made in partnership with Sounddesign.

Once in a while a new dock comes along with a wow factor, this one is just that. The C/Dock is an iPhone 4 dock that uses one of your clock apps on your iPhone 4 to transform into an alarm clock dock perfect for any bedside table. It's made from mixture of solid walnut wood and brushed aluminum hat creates a retro yet modern styled look. Of course the C/Dock has many other uses other than just using it as a clock dock, use it as a viewing stand or your very own music box. The C/Dock already has a built-in dock connector so that you won't need to use your own USB sync cable to charge up your iPhone 4. Just slide it in from the side to dock. It will be available in both a brushed aluminum face version as well as in a glossy black resin face version. You can pre-order yours at Kickstarter for $65 and $55, respectively.
Thanks for the tip, Chris!
Well not really, but you get the idea. This Aluminum KeyBoard Buddy case for the iPad 2 will add a slim, black chiclet style keyboard incased inside an aluminum shell that will perfectly match your iPad 2 to create a one-of-a-kind MacBook Air-like work pad that runs iOS. Wonderful, isn't it? For $49.90, the Bluetooth enabled Aluminum KeyBoard Buddy keyboard case features a full-sized keyboard boasting a built-in, USB rechargeable battery that is said to last several weeks on a single charge. It's slim, eye catching and it won't put a dent in your bank. Too bad it doesn't have backlit keys though.
The other little drawback to this keyboard case is that it doesn't have a hinged design like other keyboard cases for the iPad 2 such as the ClamCase. Head on over to M.I.C Gadget for the full review of the Aluminum KeyBoard Buddy. Catch the video right after the jump!
It was only a matter of time until 3rd party case makers took Apple's Smart Cover magnetic wonders to their own creations. Vaja has introduced a new beast called the Libretto, a luxurious leather case for the iPad 2 that not only uses the Smart Cover's magnetic closure and on/off sleep functions with the iPad 2, but also allows the user to fully use their iPad 2's back facing camera as well as the having a landscape stand and a typing position. The Libretto isn't just a simple leather case, it will take Vaja 35 days to handcraft to your own custom color specifications. The price you ask? Just $160. Now this is one real smart cover.
The Dodocase is now available for the iPad 2 in 8 colors for $59.95 as well as a new special edition for $89.95. The Dodocase is designed with angles appropriate for typing and viewing videos but it doesn't have a cutout for the iPad 2's rear facing camera. The good thing is that the Dodocase for the iPad 2 is now shipping.
Case-Mate has released their new Hula case for the iPhone 4. The Hula is very similar to Apple's Bumper case with one difference, it has a clear plastic middle to show off your iPhone 4's metal bezel in between the colored silicone frame. The Hula combines two materials, impact resistant silicone edges and a clear TPR plastic. With the Hula case you get a screen protector as well as a back protector to keep everything scratch-free. The Hula case is available right now in nine colors for $19.99.
