Does Anyone Still Care About the White iPhone 4? [Poll]

by

White iPhone 4

Apple has been talking about the white iPhone 4 for almost a year. They have promised customers time and again that the white iPhone 4 will be out soon, and they have disappointed by not delivering. Now, after the white iPhone 4 was spotted on the Best Buy site, bloggers and media people are flipping out in excitement over it.

Personally, I think it would have been nice to have more choice in iPhone 4 colors from the beginning, but at this point I could care less about a white iPhone 4. Why should it get so much news attention? Because Apple might finally deliver on the grand promise of an iPhone that is… another color? Big deal. That’s just MY opinion, anyway.

Now that I’m done editorializing, it’s time for you to share your opinion:

Sunday Shopping: Rugged Cases, Sound Amplifying Car Mount, Speaker Case & More

by

Welcome to Sunday Shopping, a new series where I highlight the week’s most interesting iPhone accessories from the new AppleiPhoneReview.com shop.

Today’s Sunday Shopping installment will highlight a collection of tough iPhone cases, a car mount that doubles as a passive amplifier for your iPhone, a case that also charges your iPhone, and more. All orders in the shop are directed through Amazon.com for the best prices & customer service.

1. Rugged iPhone Cases

First, check out our roundup of rugged iPhone cases, a collection of must-have cases if you are at all worried about damaging your iPhone. Because over 300 readers have written into this blog with stories of cracked iPhone screens, a rugged iPhone case is undoubtedly a wise investment.

Rugged Cases for iPhone

I have personally reviewed the Otterbox Defender and can attest to its toughness. In the shop, I have listed 7 iPhone cases that are among the most rugged:

2. Kensington iPhone Mount

Kensington Mount for iPhone

What sets the Kensington iPhone Mount apart from other car mounts for the iPhone is its Sound Amplifying system, which channels noise from the iPhone’s built-in speaker and outputs it at double the volume. This passive sound amplification requires no battery or cables.

3. iMainGo2 Speakers

I have previously tested the iMainGo2 speakers and can vouch for the reliability of this speaker case. It cushions your iPhone and protects it well while blasting music out of small speakers that are surprisingly loud. It’s even got a wrist strap for carrying the speaker case around with you.

The iMainGo2 is also compatible with other portable media devices, including smartphones and iPods. For a more high-tech counterpart to the iMainGo2, see the iMainGo X.

4. Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 4

The Mophie Juice Pack is a unique iPhone case in that it is also an add-on battery for your iPhone. The Mophie Juice Pack is said to double the iPhone’s battery life while also protecting your iPhone.

For such a powerful battery, it is surprisingly slim and won’t add too much bulk to your pocket or purse.
