I have said on several occasions that I really like my iPhone, but the battery life isn’t that great. Now that I can get games on my phone, the battery life is even worse. Spend an hour or so playing a game and half the battery is gone in a flash.

Chinavision has a new iPhone case that has a rechargeable battery built into the case. The battery in the case charged via the Apple charger that came with your iPhone. An adapter cable is included that turns the iPhone connector into a mini USB from the looks of it.

One of the first things I bought when I got my original iPhone was a case to protect it from scratches and impacts. The new shape of the iPhone 3G means that those upgrading from the original iPhone will need a new case.

iSkin announces that its revo2 case is now available for the iPhone 3G. The case looks cool and promises to protect the iPhone 3G from shock, scratches, dirt, dust, and moisture. The revo2 also integrates Microban antimicrobial protection to kill germs.

It never fails that when I need to take my notebook on a trip by air I end up on a flight where everyone tried to check bags too large for the bins. That means inevitably that someone ends up cramming their bag in the bin with no regard for the other items already there—like my notebook.

Hardigg Cases has announced a new laptop case called The Storm Case iM2370. The case itself isn’t new, but the notebook version is and it will hold notebooks with screens up to 17-inch in size. For users with smaller notebooks an optional computer protection tray is available that holds notebooks to 15.4-inches in size. The case is crush proof and will protect your notebook no matter how full overhead bins are crammed.
