Speck, which just the other day said it was shipping a new iPod 3G translucent hard shell case, is back today with a new rugged case for the same mobile. It’s called the ToughSkin for 3G and it prices around $35.

The ToughSkin for 3G offers up a treaded texture for extra grip and comfort, a rubberized skin with slightly thicker corners for protection and a hinged bottom that can be pulled back for docking while in the case. Included is a detachable holster and swivel belt-clip. It is available now.

The march of new iPhone 3G cases continues with a translucent hard shell case from Speck. It is called the SeeThru Hard Shell for iPhone 3G and pricing puts it around $30.

The  offers what Speck says is a slim profile design. Rubberized finger grips help prevent slippage and the two piece, snap design includes a removable bottom for docking. The bottom of this case also serves as a stand for the iPhone 3G when detached.

Ivyskin has launched three new touch-sensitive iPhone cases that will up your iPhone’s street cred. The cases don’t just offer screen protection. The Xylo T3, XyloReflect and XyloDuo are built with a special wonder material that let’s you to navigate the touch-screen while the case is attached.

Through Surface Xylo Wave technology, the touch is transferred to the screen using ultrasonic waves. The wave is converted to a touch input then processed by the screen. Pretty nifty. Protection you can leave on. You’ve gotta protect the gadgets that you love, while at the same time giving it the sweet love of touch.

There is no shortage of insanely expensive gadgets and accessories for the wealthy geek that feels the need to show off. The catch is that some of the really expensive handsets — like the Vertu Signature — can show off how rich you are, but really don’t offer much in the way of cool features and usability.

What if you are one of the really rich types that wants a phone that actually works well — like the iPhone 3G — but the iPhone just isn’t expensive enough for you? You could go with the iPhone 3G and then swath it in the most expensive iPhone 3G accessory ever — the $15,000 Noreve Diamond Case.

The iPhone 3G does a whole lot more than its predecessor, and that means that the battery is going to drain much faster. All of those cool new apps will also suck up the juice. The iPhone 3G Solar Charging Case will offer some protection for your iPhone 3G and also has a built-in solar panel that will collect the sun’s rays and turn them into electricity.

Power is stored in a 1,500mAh battery that will give your phone a full charge. Recharge time is about 3 hours. It may not be the most beautiful of iPhone cases, but it’s a good option for those who are thinking green with their gadgets. The price is $54, while the sun’s rays are free.

iSkin, a maker of protective gear for your iPods and iPhones, recently debuted a case and armstrap for iPod nano 3G owners who like to their players for a jog or to workout at a gym. It is called the iSkin DuoBand for iPod nano 3G and you’ll find it pricing around $40.

The iSkin DuoBand for iPod nano 3G includes a soft silicone layer with another harder layer set in a metallic finish. These two layers reportedly work together to protect your nano from most forms of damage, though we imagine it won’t do much if you drop a weight on it.

The iPhone power station from Brando elongates your iPhone much like the iPhoneneck, while at the same time giving you some emergency juice should your battery get low. The LED blink lights look pretty neat, with an arrow pointing to your phone, just in case you can’t figure out where it goes for some reason.

No info on how much of a charge it gives your iPhone, but I’m guessing not much since they mention “1000mAh”. It will cost you $25.

Popular iPod case manufacturer iSkin is introducing a new case accessory specifically designed for the new Apple iPhone 3G. It is called the iSkin revo2 and pricing is around $40.

The iSkin revo2 encases the iPhone 3G in a protective silicone material, according to iSkin. This is designed to protect your mobile from dings and dirt. Joining this layer of protection is antimicrobial product protection as well as a face shield which is transparent and detachable.

The Suo Xin ZT888 is a nice looking mobile phone from China that comes with an extra genuine leather case/battery for some reason. This caught my eye because of the call buttons. I’m pretty sure Apple doesn’t approve and I can only guess that they are trying to fool some morons into thinking that this is the new iPhone they’ve heard so much about.

This luxury phone comes in white and black, both with gold and sports a 2.4 inch display and 2.0-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, Dual SIM slots, microSD slot and other basic functions like Calculator, Calendar, Memo, Alarm, World time, stopwatch and games. It will cost you $115.43. Probably the cheapest phone with an Apple logo.

In Australia at least, nobody seems to want the white iPhone? It looks like all of the late arrivals in Sydney were being told earlier that they might have to take a white 16GB version because they were running out of the black model.

Now, if the same thing happens here I imagine some of you are going to be not too happy about it and you’d rather have no iPhone at all. I wouldn’t want white. White is for Wiis. I’m not sure what the ratio of white to black iPhones being shipped to stores is, but judging by this video we showed you here, it looks to be about 50/50. If that’s the case, we have a problem.

There are tons of ways to protect your iPhone. But hippies and Ewoks are going to want something different. That something is wood. Why not go all natural with your iPhone 3G? Miniot’s form-fitting iWood cases are all natural hardwoods like oak, cherry, mahogany, walnut and something called padouk.

One downside to adding natural beauty to your iPhone is the price tag. At $125 each, they’ll cost almost as much as the iPhone 3G itself. If the price is a bit steep for ya, you can always try your hand at whittling your own, but I shudder to think what the end product will look like.

Back when the original iPhone launched I was upset that a few short weeks after I got my phone it had scratches all over it. To keep this from getting any worse I got my hands on a product from Zagg called invisibleSHIELD. The stuff is made from a super strong and invisible film the military uses to protect the blades of helicopters from scratches and nicks.

Zagg cuts the stuff to the exact fit for the iPhone and has for the last three weeks been offering pre-order kits that protect the screen and body of the iPhone 3G. Zagg says that so far it has had 50,000 orders for the iPhone 3G kit.

We have talked about the Samsung Instinct before here at SlipperyBrick. This week Sprint announced that the phone would be available on June 20. The price for the device will be $129.99 after a 2-year contract and a $100 mail-in rebate.

The Instinct was originally pegged at a price of $199; Sprint surely felt pressure to drop the price after the iPhone 3G came in at $199. The Instinct looks very similar to the original iPhone, though it adds a couple buttons to answer and disconnect calls to the front.

Kensington seems to have been storing up on new product releases for notebook computers. The computer accessories maker yesterday unveiled some 24 new products across several notebook accessory related categories.

Highlights of this new product line up include a device for sharing USB devices between computers, wireless mice, notebook locks, column mount monitor arms and cases. We’ve provided more details on these new Kensington offerings via its press release after the jump.

A few days ago, we told you about some new iPhone cases on the way from Belkin. Well, regarding one of those cases, the guys over at Crave noticed something interesting. Something almost conspiratorial.

The case in question is Belkin’s new “Micro Grip” for the 3G iPhone. It’s basically a bunch of interconnected Zune logos. Conspiracy aside, I’m not sure this is the case to go with, since it’s more or less a rubber web and won’t offer complete protection. Plus, it’s got me paranoid now and I’m not sure where my allegiance should be. Apple or Microsoft. Or is this saying that it’s alright to be both? I’m confused. And probably being watched.
