Treat your gadgets to a pillowy case.

Fashion trendsetter Hiroshi Fujiwara and his company Fragment Design are typically known for releasing limited-edition fashion collaborations, but lately it seems like the company is looking more frequently at tech accessories.

Case in point: back in April 2009, Fragment teamed up with Incase for the second round of an exclusive iPhone case. Well, it must have done well, because HighSnobiety got an exclusive look at the latest venture, a soft wrap for photo equipment and other tech accessories.

According to HighSnobiety, the wrap is made of a soft, thick material that simply folds over to protect your technical equipment from damage on-the-go. Conveniently, the wrap only comes in one size, with the added benefit of universal fit for your most delicate gadgets.

It’s hard to tell from the picture, but it sort of looks like RoadWired R.A.P.S.! Advanced Protection System Wraps designed to swathe phones, cameras, or whatever else in a big neoprene blanket. The Fragment Design Soft Wrap will be available soon, although no prices have been announced.

Canon's Rebel T1i

Apple released a software update Thursday to let its Aperture 2, iPhoto ’08, and iPhoto ’09 photo-editing software handle raw images from three newer SLRs, Canon’s Rebel T1i, Nikon’s D5000, and Olympus’ E-30.

Higher-end cameras offer raw image formats that provide more flexibility and quality than JPEG, but the raw file formats are proprietary, vary from one camera model to another, and require companies such as Apple and Adobe Systems to release a constant stream of updates. Microsoft relies on camera manufacturers to supply software for Windows that can interpret the raw data, which is taken directly from camera image sensors without in-camera processing.

Camera makers typically supply their own software for handling raw images, but many people prefer their own photo software.

Further detail on Apple’s support is available on Apple’s raw camera support page.

We’re not sure what kind of wilded-out party people need a single phone that can use both AT&T and T-Mobile 3G in the States, but your dreams have finally come true: the Pharos Traveller 137 is finally available. Hope you like Windows Mobile 6.1, cause that’s what you’re getting for your $350 on two-year T-Mo contract or $600 unlocked. Expensive, yes, but you’re basically getting every feature you can think of and Pharos says the 137 is WinMo 6.5-ready, so there’s an upgrade path here — too bad no firmware will ever make that resistive touchscreen feel good.

The new Jitterbug J cell phone (http://tinyurl.com/qgn7v5) is the perfect gift for your technophobic dad.

Walking around the floor of a convention center for days on end, you can forget to do important things–like, say, eating and drinking. In haste, you may do something regrettable to compensate, such as tossing back a few cans of some ungodly promotional energy drink, or eating a handful of something with a name like Gamer Grub.

But actually, the wasabi-flavored version of the stuff isn’t that bad. It tastes like a pretty standard snack mix. Unlike other gamer-targeted foods, it contains no taurine or caffeine, either. Calling Gamer Grub a “performance snack” and using the tagline “boost your game” might be a bit much, beyond the fact that if you don’t eat food, you’ll die–which will almost certainly impede your ability to play video games.

Gamers grub is available in Pizza, PB & J, Chocolate, and, of course, Wasabi flavors. It’s available at Fry’s Electronics.
