iPod Touch 4G gamers rejoice! The Incipio Hive gaming case is here to give you some grip on that thin iPod Touch 4G of yours. This honeycomb silicone case will provide you with the outmost grip, but don't think you're going to go from noob to pro because of using the Hive case just yet. Catch the full review right after the break!
The iSkin Solo case for the iPhone 4 is a straight forward simple yet good looking TPU case. The Solo is one of the better TPU (Thermoplastic) on the market, it doesn't feel like a cheap case and it's very well designed. The back of the Solo has a shiny glossy finish which shows fingerprints and a bit of lint if you pick a dark color. After using the Solo for a while I found that it can get scratched easily but it isn't all that noticeable.
The Belkin Grip Vue is a thin TPU case that does not add a lot of bulk to your iPhone 4. It is very durable and scratch-resistant material. This case offers a great amount of protection and slides in and out of pockets with ease. I would recommend this case to anyone wanting a nice clear case for their brand new iPhone 4. I didn't mention in my video (as I've had more time using the case) that the clear version does turn a yellowish color over time. I would suggest washing the case with dishwashing soap and water (without the iPhone in the case of course).
The Belkin Grip Vue is available at local Best Buy store for $25 and also comes in two more colors; Pearl Black (Smoke) and Purple.
The new 1337 by Incipio is gaming silicone case for the Apple iPad that provides extreme comfortable grip by implementing four grips on each corner. While the 1337 provides excellent comfortable grip to your iPad it also adds bulk and weight. This was not really an issue for me as I got used to handling the iPad with the 1337 on. After I found my comfortable position that i liked to grip my iPad. The 1337 case is made out of very soft and smooth silicone that is also very durable and not flimsy. Once on the iPad it stays on tight and firmly all around without having to worry where you’re placing your fingers. Also the 1337 completely covers the entire aluminum bezel of the iPad and it’s edges are very well rounded and smooth.
All the ports are accessible but because of the bulkiness the rotation lock and headphones jack are a little recessed. The quality of the silicone used by Incipio is just outstanding. You will notice a beehive-like pattern in the inside to help keep the weight to a minimum. However it still packs some weight. The gaming grips are smoothed out making it very comfortable to hold the iPad it different positions. I found it much more comfortable to hold while having the 1337 case on. Also because of the thickness of the silicone and added bump-like grips, the 1337 provides tons of back and side impact protection. There is a nice lay on the table bezel rim too. After using Incipio’s 1337 gaming grip I found that the silicone actually does very well with lint and attracts very little to no lint. The 1337 comes with a clear screen protector and a cleaning cloth. It is Available in red, yellow and blue. Price $34.99.
