Hasta La Gadget!

It’s a case, it’s a power supply, and it has a kickstand. There’s so much to love in the Dexim Super Juice Power Case for the iPhone 4. The case hides a lithium polymer battery that can extend your talk time by 6 hours, your video or game time by 10 hours, and your audio playing time by 40 hours. It comes with a micro USB cable that lets you charge while you synchronize the data with your Windows or Mac PC.

It’s also a handy case if you’re just watching videos. The included kickstand will hold your iPhone 4 at just the right angle. Dexim isn’t revealing the price right now, but the site says Dexim gear can be found at a Target, AT&T, or Brookstone stores.

Still clinging on to your iPod touch in the hope that Sprint will one day launch an iPhone? Well, it’s rather early to make a call, but news has it that we may get the next best thing very soon. According to our buddies over at BGR, the ZTE Peel that we saw a little while back is apparently hitting Sprint on November 14th, which is merely a week from today. Sadly, no one knows yet how much this 3G router case will cost, but both BGR and our own sources have confirmed that it’ll be available on a contract-free 1GB data plan for $29.99 per month. Meanwhile, you may consider the Apple Peel 520 that can actually turn your jailbroken iPod touch into a phone, or grab yourself an Overdrive and duct tape for some hot WiMAX Skype action.

Smartphones take a lot of abuse, so you might as well have yours wrapped in the new Ballistic SG case. SG stands for shell gel, and this case is meant for iPhone 4 owners who want a slim case that can withstand some shocks. The outer layer of this case is made of soft thermoplastic polyurethane for shock absorption. This layer is co-molded to the middle layer, which is made of tough impact-resistant polycarbonate. These two combine to create a strong shell.

The inner layer is made of soft silicone, with “ballistic corners” to absorb the shock of a drop. You can get one at an AT&T store or the Ballistic Web site for $29.99. It comes in black/black or black/red.

We weren’t too fond of the AIDACASE KeyCase Folio, but we should’ve known a flood of alternatives would be hitting the market shortly thereafter. Adonit dropped us a line to say that its rival is in the final stages of production and should be ready to order by Christmas, and while the final edition will add a lot of polish, there’s a gallery of pre-pro shots just below for your perusal. The Writer iPad folio + keyboard combines a Bluetooth keyboard with a case, and the board itself slides on a magnet for maximum positioning awesomeness. There’s also a quick iPad release, auto-keyboard sleep function and an exterior that’ll look far sexier than what you’re seeing here. Hit the source link to be alerted when it goes on sale, and as for pricing, expect to part ways with $120 or so. Or $420 when combined with a Colorware Grip for iPad.

Let’s face it – a good smartphone is not cheap. And, like the new iPhone which is covered both sides with glass, if dropped, you’re hard-earned money can quickly go down the drain. Thanks to the Grip-Ez, you can keep a firm grip on your phone, while also looking like a mobster.

The Grip-Ez, which looks like a pair of brass knuckles – except for cheap, and plastic -, folds down, making it pocket-friendly when not in use. For only $10, plus free shipping, the Grip-Ez sticks to the back of your phone with 3M adhesive.

It fits iPhones, Blackberries, and most smartphones. According to the Grip-Ez site, it’s doctor-recommended to reduce hand fatigue, and has a sleek and ergonomic design. Of course, you’ll have to learn how to text and do everything one-handed, since your other hand will be in the Grip-Ez. But, at least you know you won’t drop it!

Now you can say, “You talkin’ to me?” with confidence.
