So you need to make a choice between holding your infant and holding your phone, but it’s not socially acceptable to let your kid crawl around on the sidewalk while you answer texts. The $25.99 TextHook Stroller Smartphone Holder is the answer.

It allows you to wheel your baby around in a stroller, while your smartphone remains right in front of you at all times, just waiting for a thief to come by and rip it right off.

Now we have more drama in the Apple antenna saga. Bloomberg says that someone “familiar with the matter” claims Apple’s own antenna expert, Ruben Caballero, told Apple management that the iPhone 4 antenna design could cause problems and dropped calls.

Caballero is a senior engineer for Apple who holds many antenna patents under his belt. We don’t know the whole story but it is the latest twist to this sorted tale and suggests that Steve Jobs had been alerted to this problem during the design phase.

If you want to double your iPhone 4′s battery life, the Exolife battery case claims to do just that. But even if it doesn’t, at least you get a case that’s slim, light, and will give you some extra juice. It’s good looking.

The case weighs just 59 grams including the rechargeable Lithium polymer battery. It even features a polycarbonate frame and an Illuminated power meter. It costs about $90 and will be available at the end of the month.

We are all for protecting that expensive iPhone with the bad reception, but if it looks like you’ve wrapped a cinder block around your phone, we’ll pass. And that’s just what this case does. The ArkHippo is made of a proprietary material which is somewhat similar Crocs shoes, so you can drop it without worrying.

Of course portability goes out the window. And your once lovely device is now just plain fugly. Nothing on pricing and availability yet, but I don’t see many of you buying this thing anyway.

Check out this iPhone 4 dock, my Steampunk loving friends. The iRetrofone Steampunk Copper iPhone 4 dock features a hand sculpted base by Artist Scott Freeland, cast from copper and polished by hand. It’s also signed by the artist.

If you want one these iRetrofone Steampunk Copper iPhone 4 Docks, it won’t be cheap. They are available for $450 from Freeland Studios. For that price at least it will match your other Steampunk gear. Too fake looking for my taste, but I’m not a big Steampunk enthusiast.

Forget fancy Swarovski studded iPhone cases. Crocodile skin with white gold is the way to go. Or maybe a Stingray polished or python skinned iPhone 4 case? Apparently each of these is available from a site called MJ Apple iPhone Limited Edition.

Yes, that name sounds pretty shady. But if this is your sort of thing, these are all limited editions. Apparently they ship from Russia and you will have to email or call to ask about price and availability, so you know it’s expensive.

These EXOvault cases for the iPhone look down right awesome. Each is handmade from metal, and some models are engraved with intricate designs. They add a touch of old world metal chic to your iPhone. Each of EXOvault’s cases are crafted from lightweight metals, like brass or anodized aluminum, and feature an inlaid rosewood accent on back.

There’s also a minimal black aluminum case that looks pretty decent. They are priced at $110 to $165. All of the cases are designed for the iPhone 3GS, but hopefully they will out some iPhone 4 designs soon.

Here’s a minimalist approach to a stand for your iPhone, iPod or other pocket media player. The Sniper Stand is simply a contoured plastic disk with criss-cross slots that you attach to the back of your device. Then You just insert a credit card to complete the stand.

Simple solution. Until you get so used to using your credit card in this way that you leave it behind. That would suck. The first batch of stands are in production and will be finished in a black gloss. The stand comes with a Scotch 3M VHB adhesive pad that’s super strong yet easily removable.

Looks like banking giant Chase is finally getting itself into the 21st century with the latest version of its iPhone app. It allows you to deposit paper checks into your Chase account using an iPhone. All you have to do is take a picture of the front and back of the check, hit a few icons, and you’re done.

This is a major time-saver for people and it’s super useful. You don’t have to make a special trip to the bank anymore just for a deposit. We love that.

The iPhone 4 is prone to shatter easily, with that tiny plastic bezel. And also, touching its metal rim causes interference. The Vapor4 bumper is made of aluminum and just may solve the iPhone 4′s design problems. It looks great while doing it.

They are made of aluminum, and they have an interior liner that separates the metal from the antenna, insulating it. The manufacturer’s tests showed no interference whatsoever across all models of iPhone.

From the front it looks like a plain old iPhone 4, but around back this iPhone is sporting some wood. This beautiful specimen comes from Russian technology company Gresso. There are embedded Swarovski crystals and an 18-karat golden Apple logo set in a sheet of African Blackwood.

While we loath Swarovski crystals on gadgets, this design is much more tasteful than the solid gold iPhones we are used to seeing. This luxury phone will arrive in December for $3,500, or $3,000 for the male version on the right.

KONNET Technology has just announced the PowerEZ Plus which is a 1000mAh external charging solution for your iPhone and iPod. It retails for $29.99 and will not only juice your device, but also act as a sturdy, retractable prop for watching movies.

It measures just 0.5″ thin and connects to the bottom of your Apple device with four LED lights to tell you how much power remains. To recharge, just hook it up to a USB connection. It also features “Smart Charging” technology and “Over-Current Protection” that prevents over-charging by shutting down when it senses a full charge.

Plumbers who own an iPhone will want to take a look at this iPhone accessory. It looks like the plunger you use to clear your toilet. It works just like a plunger too, sticking to the back of your phone and making it appear as if a cartoon character has just drawn his bow and shot it at your phone.

You can stand it in portrait or landscape mode to watch video more comfortably. It will ship in August for $5.99. Hey, is this how Steve wants us to hold our iPhone 4?

Feeling nostalgic for the old days, but love your modern iPhone? If you said yes to both, then check this out. This iPhone cassette case is the best of both worlds. The case is functional enough to keep your iPhone free of scratches, while looking like an old mix tape.

The best part is that you can actually listen to music from your iPhone when in the case. So in a way, you really are listening to a cassette. Pretty cool.

Mophie’s juice pack air external case added some battery life to the iPhone, but it also makes your iPhone chubby. Now Mophie is introducing a line of external juice packs that pop into your device using a retractable dock connector.

The smallest will be the $40 1,000mAh juice pack reserve, then the $60 1,500mAh boost. Both are compatible with the iPod and iPhone and also offer “super-bright” LED flashlights. Lastly there’s the juice pack power station, which hasn’t been given a price or mAh rating, but will be compatible with the iPad.
