ElementCase Vapor Base, Stunning Aluminum Charging Dock

If dropping $150 on one of ElementCase's gorgous aluminum cases left you without a compatible charging dock, then you'd love to hear this. ElementCase is about to release its own take on a charging dock for the iPhone with the Vapor Base. A dock stand made out of CNC machined aluminum that is designed specifically to fit your iPhone with either a Vapor Comp case or the more bulky Vapor Pro case seamlessly. The Vapor Base undoubtedly looks really good even if what we're showing you right here is only a pre-production Vapor Base docking stand. We've seen similar aluminum docks like the Elevation Dock spring up in recent weeks. Though the Vapor Base does have that cutting edge style ElementCase is most known for.

The Vapor Base doesn't come with its own dedicated sync and charge cable so you'll be using your own. Underneath is a bottom cutout that can route and store excess cable for a neat desk environment along with rubber anti-slip feet. It also features a perforated grille on the front that amplifies the sound coming out of the iPhone as well as a padded space towards the back to store small things such as your ElementCase's speed wrench. The Vapor Base is compatible with all ElementCase cases as long as you've got an iPhone 4/S.

The company first revealed its Vapor Base at CES 2012, and is expected to release its dock in a few colors this month for around $100. Hit up the source link below for the video interview.

G-Form Outs Extreme Grid & X Protect Extremely Tough iPhone Cases

Leave it to G-Form to come up with one mean looking, tough on rocks iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 cases. Up until today, G-Form's sleeves were able to protect iPads from dropping bowling balls to massive heights of 100,000 feet near the edge of space. And now G-Form's first iPhone cases are just as tough using RPT technology, a compound with some awesome materials mixed up to form really protective iPhone cases. G-Form has released two designs including the Extreme Grid case and the X Protect case. Both cases offer dual-layer protection combining a tough rigid exterior shell with an inner RPT core that extends through the shell to provide extreme impact protection by momentarily stiffening to absorb over 90% of the force from an impact, and then immediately returning to their natural flexible state.

Both of G-Form's iPhone cases are now available for pre-order and will be available in black and yellow later this month for $39.95. Until then, enjoy this video of an iPhone inside the X Protect case surviving a 82mph slapshot after the jump! Enough said, take my money now so I can replace my hockey puck with my iPhone.

Zooka Wireless Silicone Speaker Bar Slips On Your iPad

Kickstarter is full of great new products waiting to be funded by consumers who like what they see. The Zooka is yet another promising Kickstarter project that has caught our attention. The Zooka is a portable Bluetooth wireless speaker with Jambox-like volume and power controls infused into its durable, medical grade-silicone tubular body. It can connect to virtually any Bluetooth audio source, but its most unique feature is that it can slip onto any iPad with or without a Smart Cover while propping it at an angle for a better, hand-free viewing angle. It can also be used on top of any MacBook screen without interfering with the camera lens.

The Zooka's dual speaker configuration will outperform the sound level output of the iPad by as much as five times. Not much else was said about the speakers themselves as far as specifications. The Zooka is powered using a built-in rechargeable battery that's capable of holding a charge for more than 8 hours of music streaming and also has a 3.5mm audio input. This speaker has all the right ideas to become a hot product we might see at Apple stores. Let's just hope the audio quality is worth it all. You'll be able to pre-order a Zooka for $89 in various colors. Check out the Zooka Kickstarter page for more.

iPhone photography enthusiasts now have access to even better quality glass attachments for the iPhone from respective lens makers with the iPro Lens System case made by Schneider Optics. The iPro Lens System fits both iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 models and comes with wide angle and fisheye lenses that can be easily screwed on and off onto the specially designed, snap-on style protective hard shell case. Shooting using the wide angle lens will provide you with an extra 35% wider field of view while the fisheye lens lets you capture 160 degree angles.
