I admit it, I made a lot of tinfoil-hat jokes when I first heard about the Pong iPhone case. The jury is still out on the effects of cell phone radiation, but if you’re concerned about that new iPhone 3GS giving you Apple-shaped tumors, the Pong is probably perfect for you.
The silicon case has a metal lining on the inside that’s meant to diffuse radiation from your handset. According to Pong, it “chimneys” the energy out of the top of the iPhone. It’s supposed to reduce radiation from the phone by 60 percent–so that other 40 percent is kind of a crap-shoot.
The case is $60 and available now. A BlackBerry version is coming at the end of the year. I got the rundown on the case from a Pong rep; check out my video after the jump.
