| 2011-09-15T20:44:43+00:00 First Looks: Kensington Virtuoso Metro Stylus and Pen for Tablets |
It's a pen! It's a stylus! It's both! Alright, so Kensington's Virtuoso Metro Stylus and Pen for Tablets ($18) isn't the first combo of the two that we've seen, but the concept still strikes us as a good idea. One end is a standard ballpoint pen, while the other is a capacitive stylus for use with an iPad or iPad 2. As with most pens, there's a cap with a built in clip that can fit on either side. When it comes to both the barrel of the pen and the… |
| 2011-09-15T19:40:46+00:00 Backstage: On Rumors, Metal iPhone Backs, and Radio Transparency |
Like everyone else, we’ve been excited and confused by the never-ending wave of iPhone 5/iPhone 4S rumors. On one hand, it’s hard to believe that Apple would wait so long to introduce nothing more than a speed-bumped iPhone 4, but it’s equally hard to imagine an iPhone 5 with a glossy metal casing. For years, the issue with metal has been wireless antenna reception, since metallic iPhones, iPods, and iPods have had big black… |

| 2011-09-15T19:18:23+00:00 First Looks: Thought Out Stabile Pro Stand for iPad |
Originally announced at the end of July, Thought Out has finally begun shipping Stabile Pro Stand for iPad ($85), a follow up to its original Stabile Stand. Still a big hunk of metal -- four pounds of steel -- this stand incorporates one very different feature from the first model. Instead of a fixed position, the holder is on a ball pivot with 80º motion left to right, forward and back. Because the tablet simply rests on the holder, it can be used… |

Case-Mate has posted, and since removed, a page offering up images of what it claimed to be upcoming cases for the iPhone 5. BGR reports that the cases appear to follow speculation that the iPhone 5 will sport a totally new design, as they feature volume buttons on one side, two openings on the opposite side, large openings for a rear camera and flash, access to the sleep/wake button and headphone jack on top, and to the 30-pin port, speaker,… |

If you've ever lost your iPhone -- or your keys, for that matter -- you'd likely be happy for a way to help prevent that from happening again. Kensington's BungeeAir Power Wireless Security Tether + Battery for iPhone 4 ($100) is made to be just that. The solution contains a few different pieces: a 1500mAh capacity battery case, a key fob, and a free BungeeAir app. When the iPhone 4 is inserted into the front bumper-removable case, it's pretty well… |

Following its earlier KeyFolio Keyboard Cases for iPad and iPad 2, Kensington has debuted the new KeyFolio Pro Performance Keyboard Case for iPad 2 ($100). It replaces the prior OEM rubber keyboard with a hard plastic scissor-key style version that's just a little bit wider than the tablet itself. The case has been redesigned as well: instead of leather, KeyFolio Pro is clearly made out of polyurethane. The iPad 2 fits between a wide, flat back panel… |
