Waterproof Cases for iPhones, cameras #
With a trip to Kauai coming up soon, I may need to grab one or two of these. Might be perfect for underwater photos.

Indulge your fantasy to live somewhere else. Just don’t be surprised if you balk at the work of making it happen.
The iSkin Vu is a hard plastic shell with a rubberized edge, while the iSkin Duo is a full silicone case that engulfs the iPad. They both come in a variety of colors to stand out in a crowd.
What a great idea: deconstruct the recipes of well-known beers so you can make similar ones at home. I definitely need to get started with home-brewing.
I had a similar idea for a case, but I’m thinking it’s an example of being stuck in the “make it a netbook” mindset. But, if you do a lot of traveling and typing, and don’t want a separate keyboard, this looks nice (should it ever ship).

I wasn’t able to buy any iPhone 4 online when it went on sale, so I was left to pre-order it and pick it up in a store. Fortunately I didn’t have to wait in line long. It took less than 30 minutes from arrival to departure.
This is a far cry from folks who stood in line for several hours to get their iPhone (and in many cases, to not get their iPhone because they hadn’t pre-ordered one).
I drove buy my local Apple Store this morning to see how long the line was; I’d guess about 300 people deep, at about 8 am. Some folks were there at 6 am and didn’t get there iPhone for nearly five hours.
And yes, it’s a great device. The text is crisp, the screen bright, and it feels very, very fast. It also is more comfortable in my hand than I thought it would be.
It’s also has a substantial heft. It’s solid.
Another win for Apple.
Case received and installed. Here are my thoughts after about 24 hours of having it:
I’m keeping an eye out for a power-satin finish cases, though.
After playing with this map for a few minutes, I came to these conclusions:
I ordered one yesterday. 1mm-thick, plus separate fold-out stands, screen protector, microfiber wipe and headphone and 30-pin connector protectors. Whew. That’s a lot of stuff for $33 (including shipping).
I wonder if it makes the iPad too big for my DodoCase.
Update: See my initial verdict.
As a fan of the classic Moleskine notebooks, and of hand-crafted works, I just had to order this case. It’s made of bamboo and faux leather using traditional book binding techniques. Reading my iPad with it feels like reading a real book, and it’s very comfortable to hold.
It probably won’t be my long-term case, because it’s thicker than I’d like and obscures the beauty of the iPad, but for now, it’s neat.
