Adata Unveils Tough SH14 External Hard Drive

Adata's latest SH14 USB 3.0 external hard drive is one of the most chic styled ruggedized hard drives around. Stylish yet tough is right. The SH14 will protect your darkest secretes and most important personal information safe and sound under a layer of silicone that also makes it water resistant in the IPX4 class rating, not the most common materials used in external hard drives. It's also shock-resistant and impact absorbing in order to protect your data from those nasty falls. The SH14 comes in a few different storage capacities ranging from 500GB, 750GB and 1TB models in a 2.5" 5400RPM form factor. Adata's SH14 external drives will be available soon in black and red. Prices are yet to be announced.

Gumdrop's Drop Series iPad 2 Case Boasts Mean Protection

Gumdrop's latest case for the iPad 2, the Drop Series, will come in handy if you're looking for some serious drop protection. Griffin's Survivor case isn't the only case anymore offering tough drop protection for the iPad 2. The Drop Series case is available now in 4 colors for $59.95, and offers multiple layers of protection including a snap-on screen shield and one tough and mean looking, thick rubber outer layer for that extra shock absorption and grip. The Drop Series case also has built-in port covers to keep dust away.

Gumdrop's Military Edition Drop Series case for the iPad 2 offers the same exact protection except it's colored in an army green color which will cost you a bit more at $69.95. The Military Edition is currently available to pre-order and is expected to ship in June. Unlike Griffin's Survivor case for the iPad 2, the Military Edition Drop Series case isn't Military spec certified and tested. That sounds a little ironic doesn't it.

Griffin Outs Explorer Case for iPhone 4

In the wake of Griffin's Survivor cases being released, the Explorer is part of Griffin's Armored line of tough cases for the Verizon and AT&T iPhone 4, iPad 2 and the iPod Touch 4G. It took a while for the Explorer case to come out even though it was already advertised on the Survivor case packaging along with the unreleased Tracker case, also a part of the Armored series. The Griffin Explorer case for the iPhone 4 is suitable for those who are not looking for the ultimate military-spec proven protection that the Survivor case has to offer. The Explorer is relatively built in the same way as the Survivor with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate inner frame and a durable, flexible outer silicone jacket for shock absorption.

Built-in Port plugs tuck in to keep dust and dirt out of the iPhone 4's dock connector, camera lens, audio port and speaker openings. The only exclusion setting the Survivor apart from the Explorer is the built-in screen protector and a bit more silicone to go around. The Explorer case for the iPhone 4 is available now in black and pink for $39.99, and comes with an included belt clip.

Griffin's Military-Duty Survivor Case Now Protects The iPad 2

Griffin has finally released the Survivor case for the iPad 2 adding Military Grade toughness to protect your iPad 2 from mother natures most dangerous conditions a gadget like the iPad 2 should never be exposed to like rain, dirt, sand and other environmental conditions. The Survivor case for the iPad 2 is built with a shatter-resistant polycarbonate inner frame with a built-in screen protector wrapped in a rugged, shock and vibration absorbing silicone complete with built-in hinged port plugs. We reviewed Griffin's Survivor case for the iPhone 4 a while back, and it looks like this will be one heck of a protective case for the iPad 2. It also looks like Griffin listened to the very few drawbacks the first Survivor case had with the hinged port plugs now having a place to clip on so that they don't get in the way while opened. 

The Survivor case for the iPad 2 includes a multi-position workstand that clip on providing landscape viewing and a typing angle. It's available now in black and pink for $79.99.
