Accessory review: Haul’s cases are awesome rubbish

Steve — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 01:00:18 +0000

So: you’ve got your iPad 3G, you’ve stuffed it to the gills with apps and are you’re a real pro at the on-screen keyboard, so now you want to take it out with you and show it off. What you need now is a sleeve or folio for it, but being the fashionista that you are, you don’t want to dress it in just anything: you want something that’s unique. And being conscious of your impact on the environment, you want something that’s eco-friendly, too. If you think your order is too tall, think again.

Haul are an Australian-based company that take recycled or found waste such as vinyl billboards, rubber printing blankets and even old tyre inner-tubes and turn them into wonderful, colourful and extremely desirable objets d’art. Best of all: they turn them into iPad and MacBook cases. We thought we’d take a look so join us after the break.

Accessory reviews: iPad and iPhone 4 cases from chillicase.co.nz

Steve — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:25:39 +0000

Ever felt like your iPhone or iPad (or both) are so ‘precious’ that you handle them with un-due fear, dread friends picking them up, fret about which surfaces you put them down on or worry about them becoming scratched or chipped? If so, it’s probably time to think about a case. Until recently, buying a fitted / molded case for your iOS device has meant choosing between silicone or polycarbonate plastic – but both have their disadvantages. Now, there is a new material that promises the advantages of both, with the disadvantages of neither: jelly polymer. Never heard of it? Well, it just so happens that New Zealand’s own chillicase.co.nz has an amazing array of these cases available in heaps of colours and styles, so we thought we’d check them out.

Ask iPhonewzealand: How do I get my free iPhone 4 case?

Steve — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:07:12 +0000

No doubt about it – yesterday was epic. Probably the most intense gadget rollercoaster we’ve ever been on! But now that you’ve bought your iPhone 4 (either in-store or via the Apple Online Store), how do you get your free case? We’ve been receiving lots of emails to this effect so we thought we’d help shed some light.

Protect your iPad: get a case

Dan — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 20:13:49 +0000

You’ve got your shiny new iPad, looking all nice and new and it then dawns on you that when you put it down on the side or on you desk: it’s going to get scratched. So you pick it up and put on top of a magazine… phew iPad protected. But then you decide you need to take it with you somewhere, say work to show it off, and you then realise you have no where to put it where it’ll be safe from harm during your journey. What do you?

Well the obvious answer is to get a case, but what type of case is the real question. Do you get a case that the iPad sits in all the time, a la the Apple iPad case, or do you go with a case just for travelling around? What about a silicone skin, like you may have for your iPhone?

The iPhone accessory market is huge, with cases being the most developed segment by a country mile. With a miriad of choices from silicone skins to polycarbonate transparent shells, iPhone users are very well catered for in the protection of their new devices. So when a local kiwi company contacted iPhonewzealand to ask if we wanted to review “the world’s best” case, I was naturally intrigued and had to see it for myself.Read More
