Transform Your iPad 2 Into Your Very Own MacBook Air

July 06, 2011/ Nir Schneider

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!

The Best iPhone 4 Knockoff Is Running Android 2.2 (Video)

June 16, 2011/ Nir Schneider

This is one of the best iPhone 4 clones out there. It's made out of the same high quality materials used in the iPhone 4 like a stainless band tampered front and back glass. Thins Chinese iPhone 4 knockoff was made so well that any iPhone 4 case will fit it precisely. The best of all though, it actually runs decent and usable software. Android 2.2 to be exact. It's heavily skinned with an iOS user interface that looks almost identical to the real deal but has all the goodies of Android as well. What's this amazing device called you ask? Gooapple. A mixture of the best of both worlds in one good looking device. The Gooapple will be available for around $260 in China later this month. A pricy knockoff for sure. Hit up the source link for more pictures and catch the video after the break.

iCufflinks Are Just The Thing For Formal Geeks

June 15, 2011/ Nir Schneider

I must say that I'm very much attracted to these Apple inspired cufflinks called the iCufflinks, as would any other geek that's for sure. They feature a subtle, MacBook-like pulsating white LED light shining thru a power button design. The iCufflinks are crafted from machined aluminum, I would have not expected any less that's for sure! As if battery powered cufflinks weren't enough to please your inner geekiness, the iCufflinks are opened source for coding your own wacky ideas into them. There isn't any info regarding how these will be powered exactly, but it seems as though they take non-rechargeable button batteries. If you just must add these to your cufflink collection, expect to drop $128. Just in time for Father's Day too!

CalypsoCase Fashions New Leather & Titanium iPhone 4 Cases

June 07, 2011/ Nir Schneider

It's been a while since we've stumbled upon some really awesome cases for the iPhone 4. I'm glad CalypsoCase has created new unique looking sleeve cases that are carefully crafted using multiple materials such as fine Italian leather and a strong U shaped titanium inner closure band for ultimate protection, and optional silver, black silver, gold or platinum metals. Each CalypsoCase sleeve case is lined with a specially designed fabric that prevents your phone from accidentally sliding out. CalypsoCase is currently seeking backing pledges to get things started. $70 will get you a special backer's only edition of a CalypsoCase which will later retail for $129.

CalypsoCase took a refreshing approach in starting up their new brand by creating their unique cases for various phones like the iPhone 4 - 3G/S, BlackBerry (Torch, Curve, Bold, Tour), HTC (Sensation, Incredible S, Desire HD, Desire S), Samsung (Nexus S, Galaxy S, Omnia II).
