The iKit NuCharge: an iPhone 5 battery case with interchangeable covers

When it comes to battery cases for the iPhone 5, there's no shortage of options. Mophie itself offers a few choices—the Juice Pack Air and the Helium Juice Pack—and there are countless offerings from other third party manufacturers.

But that doesn't mean the space couldn't use another contender. And the folks of Shark Design think they have what it takes to be a big one with their iKit NuCharge. They say it's the "most advanced iPhone battery case ever made..."

The VersaCover for iPad mini knows when to hold or fold

Personally, I am not fond of folding, origami-sytle cases for iPad. Yet, there are a decent amount of them on the market. You know them. They have a folding back that props your iPad in any number of different angles to increase or decrease the viewing angle. Big deal. Up until now, I have never given an origami case a glance. In fact, sometimes I refuse to review them, but I had a hard time telling Moshi 'no' for their VersaCover. Finding myself happily surprised, look past the fold to see if these cases are the right fit for you...

This is what an $11,000 iPhone 5 case looks like

In case you were wondering, this is what an $11,000 iPhone 5 case looks like. Well, it's actually more of a bumper than a case since it doesn't wrap around to cover the back of the phone. But that's beside the point.

What you are looking at is the new Haven iPhone 5 case from Brikk, a designer and manufacturer of couture products and accessories. The line starts out at $11,610, and goes to $14,235 and beyond, depending on the model...

iPad 5 cases beginning to hit Chinese marketplaces

Apple's next-generation tablet isn't expected to hit for at least another 5 or 6 months, but accessory manufacturers already seem to feel pretty confident that they know what it's going to look like.

Based on a number of reports and alleged part leaks, case-makers have begun mass-producing cases fit for a redesigned iPad 5 that is both lighter and thinner than its predecessor, with smaller bezels...

Mophie announces new, thinner Juice Pack Air for iPhone 5

Fans of Mophie's popular Juice Pack Air line will be happy to hear that the company has just announced a new, thinner model for Apple's latest handset. This is the first significant update to the line in two years.

Aside from the prestige of its highly-regarded creators, the major selling point for the new Air is its size—it's both thinner and lighter than its predecessor, measuring in at just 0.63-inches thick...

New iPad 5 case matches up with rumored mini design

MiniSuit, an accessory manufacturer, has sent out photos tonight of a new case for the upcoming fifth-gen iPad. It says it created the case based on specifications received from, what it believes to be, a reliable source.

Looking at the cover, it certainly seems to match up with what our expectations are thus far for Apple's next tablet. The company is reportedly redesigning the slate this year, with traits pulled from the iPad mini...

BookBook makes the iPad mini even more perfect for reading

As we covered previously, there are many versions of Twelve South's BookBook and the company is now equipped to deck out your new iPad mini with the new edition. Recently, Twelve South has been getting a lot of well-deserved media attention and the BookBook case for MacBooks helped put them on the map. If you are not yet familiar with the BookBook, allow me to introduce you to an Apple accessory classic...

Belkin and LEGO announce partnership, ‘buildable’ iPhone cases on the way

This is interesting, and also a bit surprising that it hasn't happened before now. Belkin, a popular third-party accessory maker for iPhones and other Apple products, has just announced a new partnership with the LEGO group.

According to the press release, the two companies have signed a multi-year licensing deal to bring a new line of cases to market, inspired by the iconic bricks—the highlight of which is said to be new 'buildable' cases...

Belkin launches FastFit Bluetooth keyboard case for iPad mini

Logitech yesterday announced its Ultrathin Bluetooth keyboard for the iPad mini, but its rivals are not standing still. This morning, Belkin said its comparable offering will be available via its web site for the same eighty bucks as the Logitech keyboard case. Built with anodized aircraft grade aluminum, it's a fit for the iPad mini's industrial design. The FastFit Keyboard Case is also 0.3mm thinner than Logitech's (7mm vs 7.3mm).

We're not sure if anyone will be able to tell the difference in thinness, but that sure looks like a damn nice portable keyboard case, if I ever saw one. Jump past the fold for more info...

Mophie unveils Helium Juice Pack for iPhone 5

This must be 'unveil your latest product' week for accessory makers. Logitech took the wraps off its new Ultrathin Keyboard for the iPad mini yesterday, Griffin just announced new designer iPhone 5 cases, and now Mophie has come forward.

The California-based designer and manufacturer introduced the iPhone 5 version of its popular battery case line today, the Juice Pack Helium. The case is 13% thinner than any previous Juice Pack, and features a built-in 1500mAh battery...

Bear Motion offers a premium iPad mini folio case at a great price

Since the mini was released, I scoured the internet looking for new cases, sleeves, and folios for my favorite new Apple device. If you keep up with my reviews, you know I prefer minimalism and always look for premium products. You may also know, I hate paying big bucks for the nice stuff. The epitome of champagne taste and a beer budget, I stumbled upon Bear Motion and found the intersection of my preferences. If you visit Bear Motion's unsuspecting website, you may be surprised at my excitement about their iPad folio case.

A reasonable price is obviously always an important factor as well.
