Core Cases Slider Cases for iPod touch + iPhone<br />
As the sequel to earlier, popular cases for prior iPods, the Slider Case for iPod<br />
touch ($25) is designed to slide together rather than using a hinge or magnets<br />
to stay closed, with a thin but strong layer of anodized aluminum adding<br />
protection for the back, sides, and front. Available in at least silver and black<br />
variants, the case has been designed not to obstruct the wireless antenna<br />
on back, just as its iPhone brother ($30, not shown) avoids coverage of the<br />
antenna and camera. Both will be available in June.<br />
A1QP iArmor Bling<br />
A-1 Quality Products has never been<br />
ashamed to have its metal cases stand<br />
out, and now iArmor Bling ($199, June)<br />
is set to draw new levels of attention.<br />
With Swarovski crystals as a border and a<br />
machined diamond pattern cut into the<br />
rest of its face, iArmor Bling is touted as<br />
making scratches and fingerprints nearly<br />
unnoticeable, reflecting a rainbow of<br />
colors under natural light. Made in the<br />
United States, the case uses magnets<br />
to hold its aluminum front and rear<br />
shells together; no word yet on the<br />
all-metal case’s impact on cellular signal<br />
strength.<br />
Case-Mate Art Deco Cases<br />
Initially available in red and black crocodileembossed<br />
patent leather, green snakeembossed<br />
patent leather, and brown floralembossed<br />
real Napa leather, the Art Deco<br />
Cases ($40, June) were developed to give<br />
iPod touch owners “funky new patterns”<br />
that make a fashion statement. In each<br />
case, molded leather is wrapped around a<br />
hard shell that leaves holes for the screen,<br />
top, and bottom, while a film protector is<br />
included to provide screen coverage.<br />
