Incipio shows off their 2012 iPhone case lineup including their first Eco Case

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 01:05 PM PST

Live at CES 2012, accessory maker Incipio showed us their new lineup of iPhone cases, including their first cases made of recycled materials.

  • Code is a three part case that includes interchangeable, shock absorbing, translucent hexagram inserts for extra shock-absorbing power.
  • Le Deux has a padded aluminum backplate that provides a subtle, simple design with interter-changable parts for a customized look.
  • Kross incorporates a mechanical shock-absorbing design and a Santoprene center to provide extra protection against drops and impact.
  • Specialist is also shock absorbing and ready for rugged use, but is slimmer and sleeker for those who want easier portability.
  • Eco Case is the traditional Silicrylic design with a new, environmentally friendly bio-plastics and recycled plastics materials.
  • Hive Response brings the honeycomb look and extra-grip feel of Incipio’s iPad and iPod line to the iPhone in a variety of fun colors.

Again, we’re seeing case makers trying to figure out what they can do now that protection is covered and differentiation is the key.

Incipio shows off their next generation Offgrid Pro battery case for iPhone

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 12:27 PM PST

Live at CES 2012, accessory maker Incipio shows us their next-generation Offgrid Pro case for iPhone. The big difference with the Offgrid Pro is that it has user-swappable batteries so that if you’re going to be away from power for a really long time, you can back just as many 1700mAh cartridges as you need.

The Offgrid Pro will be available “soon”, and will ship with two batteries, the charger, the case, and the band.

White Diamonds is continuing their line of artistically printed, Swarovski crystal emblazoned iPhone and iPad cases, and at CES 2012, they showed us just what they have in store this year. They fit both the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S now, and range from the simple yet elegant Arrow to the more elaborate pink grid.

Once again, it highlights how iPhone and iPad accessories have made the transition from utilitarian protection to fun, fancy fashion.

Singapore carriers set to launch an iPhone 4S without cameras

Posted: 15 Jan 2012 02:00 AM PST

According to a report by the Jakarta Globe, the iPhone 4S will soon be available in Singapore without a front or rear facing camera. One small carrier in Singapore even went live with a web page displaying pricing for a version of the iPhone 4S with no camera; it was later taken down. Whilst it was live, it showed a 64GB version of the iPhone 4S with no camera going for $900. It is thought that these models of iPhone are being made available for those in the armed forces where smartphones with cameras are banned from army camps.

Currently, Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) servicemen are allowed to take only no-camera smartphones into camp. Because of this, many own two phones – one for use in the camp and another outside.Those with no-camera smartphones are able to tap into the Wi-Fi networks, now covering more camps, to surf the Internet.
It is also believed that local Singapore businesses are already offering to remove cameras from smartphones for around $200. Obviously taking this route would invalidate a devices warranty and it is not approved by the relevant Singapore authorities.
