Coolous Alien iPhone 4 Cases Are Alienlicious

Coolous was thinking outside the box when it designed these Alien cases for the iPhone 4 that have an alien-like back design that may or may not have strong inspiration taken from Alienware, the guys behind those powerful gaming PCs. Actually, that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw these cases. Coolous' Alien cases feature a hybrid design made up from an external, hard colored polycarbonate shell for impact protection coupled with a flexible, TPU inner layer for shock absorption. The Alien cases are expected to sell for $35. Paul would really appreciate these.

First Look At iSkin's Upcoming Vu & Solo Smart Cases for iPad 2

iSkin loves to leak a little of their hot new products just before they get released on their website. This time we've found out about iSkin's latest upcoming cases for the iPad 2 including the Vu case we've reviewed for the first gen iPad. The Vu for the iPad 2 now boasts a built-in kickstand for vertical and horizontal viewing. The iPad 2 version of the Vu case hasn't changed much in its construction and still features a semi-clear two-tone color scheme with soft, flexible TPU materials combines with hard polycarbonate. 

For those of you with an Apple Smart Cover, iSkin will release a Smart Cover compatible case called the Solo Smart. The Solo Smart case is designed with similar materials as the Vu case for the iPad and iPad 2, but takes on a different shape and design combining soft, flexible TPU with hard polycrbonate for extra back protection. The Solo Smart case for the iPad 2 will be available for $50 while the Vu case for the iPad 2 will be available for $60. It's safe to assume that iSkin will make both cases available very soon in various colors.

Update: iSkin has announced that the Vu and Solo Smart cases will be available later this month.

Speck Outs PixelSkin HD Wrap Case For iPad 2

Looks like Speck is going to hit a home run with their new PixelSkin HD Wrap Case for the iPad 2. The PixelSkin HD Wrap Case is the best of both worlds really, it mimics Apple's Smart Cover functionality with a proper back protection and it's all made out of a TPU material. Just like the PixelSkin HD case for the iPhone 4, a mixture of matte and glossy pixel texture dominates the front cover. You thought Speck used magnets? Nope. Instead, the PixelSkin HD Wrap Case's front cover will stay closed using micro-suction. Now that is just as interesting as magnets. Expect to see this soon in three colors for $49.95.
