You’ve got your choice of iPhone cases, but if you really want something that can take a lot of abuse, the handcrafted EXOvault is for you. It’s an all-metal case that can be ordered in aluminum, brass or titanium. It’s not completely ugly and kind of gives your phone an industrial look.

We really don’t have many other details, but Aluminum and brass will cost you $95, or you can pay $300 for the all impressive titanium.

iKey is known for their rugged keyboards, but they’ve outdone themselves with the new AK-39 wearable keyboard. It’s made primarily for military use and conforms to full MIL-461 standards. With this keyboard on your wrist you’ll be good to go in environments with harsh electromagnetic interference and it’s also designed to be used with a glove in either left or right-hand configurations.

The keyboard is a basic 39-key layout, with an integrated pointing device that uses Force Sensing Resistor (or FSR) technology, with adjustable green backlighting that is compatible with night vision. We have no info on pricing, but you probably can’t afford it anyway.

The elusive black Wii has shown itself off a few times recently and with the August 1st launch date in Japan approaching, its back in the spotlight. Now it’s showing off it’s sexy packaging.

Sure, it’s the same old box, just done up in black, but it makes the console all the more alluring, with a hint of mystery and danger. Like that time good girl Sandy from Grease suddenly transforms and rocks John Travolta’s world all dressed in black like a bad girl. Sadly we still have no word on a release date here, but we hope it happens soon.

If you’re looking for an affordable slider, you may want to check out the newly launched LX290 from LG. You can get this handset via Sprint for just $29.99 with a 2-year contract agreement (after a $50 mail-in rebate).

As for specs, don’t expect anything powerful. Don’t even expect it to stand out from any crowd. It boasts a 1.33 x 1.77 inch QVGA TFT screen, a 1.3MP camera with 2x digital zoom, GPS (Sprint Navigation), Picture Messaging, Bluetooth, NFL Mobile Live, a 2.5mm headset jack and a 950 mAh battery for up to 6 hours of talk time.

I love a good war game so as soon as I get a chance I plan to check out Modern Warfare 2. The game is generating a lot of buzz. After seeing this, I want to check it out even more. This is an unusual approach to selling a game and I think it might work.

The Prestige Edition will come with fully functioning night vision goggles. How cool is that? We don’t know yet how much the bundle will cost, but it will likely be pretty expensive. Even low-end NVGs can cost a few hundred bucks.

Looks like Guitar Hero 5 has a new axe for you to grind. This baby features a new white pick guard with a red paintjob for the body. Internal signaling is now digital to minimize latency and the strum bar has been tweaked for the sake of reliability.

You’ll also notice colored dots on the neck for ease of use and slight reliefs on the top, middle, and bottom fret buttons. You can pick one up with your copy of Guitar Hero this September.

The way to go when it comes time to buy a printer is an all-in-one. The devices take up less space and can print, copy, scan, and often fax as well. The only real downside is that if your AIO breaks you lose multiple devices rather than one.

Lexmark has announced two new all-in-one printers that are both wireless Internet capable with 802.11n connectivity built-in. The printers also both feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen that can show RSS feeds.

I think the future of movie rentals and purchases are in digital form. One day we will no longer trek to the movie store on Tuesdays when new movies are released on DVD. We will just hop on our Apple TVs or maybe even our Blu-ray players and rent the movies digitally.

Blockbuster and Samsung have announced that the two companies have signed an agreement that will provide access to streaming content from Blockbuster on select Samsung HDTVs, Blu-ray players, and home theater systems. The service is expected to debut this fall.

I have a Best Buy insignia brand home stereo that has an HD tuner built-in. You can tell a difference in the sound quality between FM and HD channels. The HD station is CD quality and offers clearer music. The big downside to HD Radio is that there aren’t as many stations in my area.

Best Buy has announced the first portable HD Radio player called the Insignia HD Radio Portable Player. The device is powered by an internal rechargeable lithium ion battery and has ten presets to store your favorite stations. The device also sports a 1.5-inch LCD screen for viewing channel information.

One of the key components that you need if you are going to take advantage of all your PC has to offer is a good set of speakers. Without a decent set off speakers you can’t listen to your music or movies without having to wear headphones or strain to hear.

Logitech has announced four new sets of speakers for multimedia use with computers including the Logitech Speaker System Z320, Z323, Z520, and Z523. All of the speaker sets feature forward-firing drivers with 360-degree sound. The Z523 and Z323 systems are 2.1 sets with two satellites and a 6.5-inch sub. The Z523 has 40-watts of power and the z323 has 30-watts.

Nike has unveiled their latest Nike+ SportBand, a watch-like device for athletes that displays their vital information and includes calories burned, distance, pace and time. The SportBand features a white background screen to help the numbers stand out and a seal to improve water resistance.

They are available in grey with pink, dark with yellow and black with red and you can get them on July 15th for $59 a pop. You’ll have all of your stats right there with you at all times.

Putting your sensitive data near fire may not be the best thing in the world, but when that lighter/USB drive is branded with a dead cow skull, it sure is tempting. This gadget combines a Zippo-style metal refillable lighter with a 2, 4, or 8GB flash drive.

Obviously it won’t hold much lighter fluid/butane since most of the space is taken up by the USB drive. But if you are a geeky smoker who owns a ranch in Texas, this may be a great combo for you as it has both devices in one.

Motion detection is all the rage in the video game industry now. From the Wiimote to the Wii MotionPlus add-on and even the accelerometer in the iPhone. The Acceleglove uses aspects from all to create an awesome gaming glove.

Using the Wiimote, you can make general movements but nothing specific, like finger movements and the like. The Acceleglove puts accelerometers in the fingers of the glove so you can make more complicated hand gestures. It was developed by AthroTronix and at the moment the Acceleglove can only detect some hand motions like say pinching. But the potential is huge.

The BSSP07 from Buffalo is a new series of stereo speakers that you can use with MP3 players, mobile phones, or iPods. They aren’t much to look at, but they do the job and are available in four different colors.

The speaker will give you up to 800mWatt x 2ch, which should be enough for use in any small room. The Buffalo BSSP07 requires four AA batteries or a spare USB port to operate. Nothing on pricing just yet, but it shouldn’t cause you too much pain.
