Computer cases that look like spiders aren’t something you generally see at your local Best Buy or anywhere else, where they are available to the public for that matter. However Lian Li’s new PC-T1R case is the exception to the rule. Not that it will be at Best Buy, but you can get it soon.

Now it is closer to release. Previously only seen in a teaser video, the folks at techPowerUp have now gotten their hands on one. The case should sell for “around €150″ (about $200) when released and it will be available in black and red, with some assembly required.

Novothink has announced that its Solar Surge charging cases for the iPhone and iPod touch are finally available. It will cost you $79.95 for the iPhone 3G/3GS version and $69.95 for the iPod touch version (second gen only). They are each available only in black or white right now, but additional colors are coming soon. We just don’t know when.

It should give you between four and eight hours of talk time, or up to 20 hours of additional audio playback when the charger is fully charged, but the company says you can still expect to get between 30 and 60 minutes of talk time after two hours of exposure to direct sunlight.

As the Apple iPad launch date gets closer, more accessories are becoming available. Mostly frames with kickstands. This latest accessory is the oddly named Quirky Cloak. It’s designed to look sleek and protect your iPad at the same time. It’s made from non-slip rubber and has a durable plastic hinge on the edges.

The iPad loads into the top of the case and once inside is held firmly in place by a friction grip. The Quirky Cloak is designed so that the iPad can sit on a surface in landscape mode, or stand up with a kick stand in portrait mode.

If you’ve been following the phenomenon, than you know that folks over in South Korea have been using snack sausages as a stylus for their iPhones, which is especially useful in the winter because you can’t use the iPhone’s touch screen through your gloves.

And now CaseCrown, a company known for selling iPhone cases has received a large shipment of these sausages and is offering them for $0.99 each. It has the added bonus of feeding you when you get hungry too unlike a normal stylus.

Otterbox has released a couple of new protective cases for your HTC Droid Eris phone, adding to their Commuter and Impact series of cases.

OtterBox’s Commuter series case (on the right in the above photo) for the HTC Droid Eris provides 3 layers of protection with a screen protector, silicone mid-layer and a polycarbonate shell. The Impact series, like it sounds, is a little more padded to provide protection from impacts to the device and has a couple layers including a screen protector and molded shell.

We’ve seen so many iPhone cases, we didn’t think there could possibly be anything new under the sun. But there is, and under the sun is correct since the Bioserie iPhone Case is made from Bioplastic, which is made from 100% plants.

Now that’s a green iPhone case. The Bioserie iPhone Case will be available in a bunch of colors, including green, blue, black and a few others, and it also has a leaf like design on it.

Sometimes the USPTO grants patents on technology that just doesn’t make sense. Often these patents are nothing more than an attempt by one company to try and make other firms using similar tech pay a licensing fee. TiVo has been granted a patent on software that it filed back in 1999 that could change DVRs as we know them.

The patent is for TiVo’s Season Pass software. The software sits on the DVR and allows the DVR to resolve recording conflicts based on priority. This is a feature that every DVR has today and it is used when you run out of tuners available and have another show set to record.

This video is pretty amazing and a real eye-opener at how pervasive green-screening has become in almost every scene in television these days. If it takes place outdoors, it is faked in one way or another.

In some cases you wonder why they even had to change the scenery. I guess even the most beautiful reality isn’t real enough these days. Gives me a whole new appreciation for actors these days. These guys and gals are way more talented then they get credit for.

From the fine folks at Pong Research(They haven’t done much since testing Pong consoles in the late seventies apparently) come these anti-radiation cases for the iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and Blackberry Curve… Despite the fact that radiation from cellphones has not yet been proven to harm people.

The Pong anti-radiation cases are mostly made of silicone, with a “Pong gold PCB module” embedded in the case. Apparently the module has been proven to reduce the radiation from an iPhone into a user’s head to “a third of what it would be without the case.”

Frank Miller has always been one of my favorite Comic book guys. In recent years, it’s been fun to see his movies on the big-screen. If you’re a fan of 300 or Sin City, GelaSkins has some awesome-looking iPhone cases and laptop skins.

The prices are set at $14.95 for an iPod Touch or iPhone case, or $29.95 for a laptop skin. They are available for MacBooks and PC laptops from 13-inches to 15.4-inches. They will make your device look awesome.

Seems like there’s a ton of disappointment with the Apple iPad since it’s unveiling earlier today. Well, love it or hate it, Griffin has announced their first iPad accessories, cases really and screen protections. There’s the Elan Passport, Elan Sleeve, FlexGrip case, Jumper, and Screen Care Kit.

The Elan Passport is a leather flip-open case that you can also use to store some business cards. The Elan Sleeve is a leather sleeve. The FlexGrip case wraps your iPad in protective silicone, while allowing complete access to the audio output jack, dock connector, MultiTouch display and controls.

There are a lot of notebook bags and sleeves on the market today. They tend to be made from the same materials and look pretty much the same. If you want a notebook case that is cool and looks different from what you typically see for your MacBook, Twelve South has one for you.

The case is called the Book Book and it looks like a real hard cover book on the outside. The case has hard sides and dual zippers for opening. Inside the case are elastic straps to keep it connected to your notebook.

I have on more than one occasion thought about going to an AIO computer that is quieter than my normal desktop. My machine has so much gear crammed inside that the drone of the fans can drive you crazy some days. If you are looking for an AIO to give to a kid as their first computer, a company called Kid Computers has one.

The catch is that the machine sells for nearly $2,000, which many parents will consider a significant stretch for a first computer. A $500 to $1000 AIO from another manufacturer with netbook innards would be more appropriate in most cases.

Doctors are filthy. Half the time they have their hands inside various body orifices and the the other half they are touching everything in sight. Sure they wash their hands regularly, but germs are still everywhere. And it isn’t just doctors. Hospitals are cesspools of bacteria and germs.

The Toshiba Rx tablet from designer Geoffrey Cooper can help. It’s a portable electronic replacement for a nurse’s clipboard. The touchscreen tablet lets them instantly document cases on the go and facilitates quick diagnosis and communication. The Rx tablet has a docking station and a keyboard for those times when you are actually sitting and the dock also functions as the charging unit, which is made in a single piece of removable and washable rubber that makes the tablet easy to clean.

One of the issues that users of slider phones like the Palm Pre run into is finding a case that offers good protection and still lets the phone slide open for use. OtterBox offers all sorts of cases for different mobile devices and the company has announced a new case for the Pre.

The case is called the Tandem and is a two-piece case that attaches to the front and back section of the phone. The case offers protection from drops and still allows the Pre to slide open and closed. The case also has an over molding that protects the edges of the device.
