Transformers 2 Special Edition iPhone Hard Case

With the confirmation of a Transformers 2 sequel, ExstreamMac has inked a deal to create a special edition iPhone hard case that will be released in tandem with a short run, special edition, numbered series of bendable Transformers action figures. Both items will be sold only as a set, released sometime this summer close to the launch of iPhone 2 scheduled for the end of June. This makes sense since June 29th marks the one year anniversary of the original iPhone launch.

"We are so excited to pair our Extsream iPhone hard case with Transformers 2," said Neil Harden Director of Marketing for ExtsreamMac, "Even though Transformers 2 will not reach theaters until June of 2009, it's never to early to start the hype. We expect to sell out in a matter of hours."

Harden was unable to confirm the production quantity of action figures or what price point would be set at retail. Though he did disclose that each iPhone hard case would be fully waterproof, stomp resistant and could potentially deflect a small caliber bullet fired at long range. A feature that many rap artists have requested of case makers since the launch of iPhone. The case will contain a removable money clip and be offered in blood red, jetta black and nearly clear.

According to Harden, this unique offer will be impossible for hard core Transformer nerds to resist. Though he did admit some might be able to resist, buts it's highly unlikely. "These fans are totally predicable," said Harden, "That's why Paramount is doing a sequel."

iPhone Zippy Case Offers Cheap Waterproofing

Anyone knows that iPhone and water are natural enemies in the wild, much like the scalpel and scrotum which victims of a vasectomy are painfully aware of. If your iPhone gets water damaged, you can expect no love from Apple and a refurbish bill of about $250 clams.

Blogger Caroline Armijo learned that lesson the hard way when her iPhone was damaged in a freak pocket soaking mishap. Caroline has now chosen to waterproof her iPhone using a snack size zippy sandwich bag found at any Target store for $5 (for box of 50). According to Caroline, she's still able to use the touch pad perfectly and callers have confirmed hearing her crystal clear voice through the magical sheath.

The iPhone (full body condom) zippy case is perfect for quick waterproofing out in the snow, running in the rain or even for that extended fishing trip. It's no fashion statement but it works. Caroline has posted a great list of practical iPhone tips to follow for those unfortunate soakings, including using home insurance to cover damage. Her waterlogged iPhone was repaired for only a $100 deducible.

I suggest you zip it! Thanks for the tip Carloline.

iPond Fish Tank May Bore Fish To Death

iPond is a tiny fish tank with a speaker built into the bottom for enjoying iPod music while watching a fish being leisurely bored to death. The iPond is causing huge controversy in Australia because of its particularly small size according to the Sydney Morning Herald (link). Pets Paradise is selling Siamese fighting fish with each iPond (view to a kill) aquatic chamber of despair.

"I'm claustrophobic myself, said Callie Beardsley manager of Pets R Pets stores, "I sat sobbing as I stared at my iPond the entire time I listened to Andrea Bocelli singing "Con te partiro". I felt so bad for that little fishy fish, but the tank is too cute."

The biggest concern for animal activists is the quality of music introduced to the fish. "These iPonds have become a fad among teens, an age group notorious for listening to horrible music, said Diane Marx, Director of Aquatic Injustice, "I'm concerned that over exposure to Fergie for example, will result in a slow and painful demise for fish inside an iPond." A keen observation by Marx that applies to more than just fish. 

One store in Sydney has reported selling out of the $70 device while other outlets are reporting brisk sales of the iPond. There is no way to be sure if the iPond is as harmful to fish as experts are making it out to be, but it has certainly agitated a lot of cheerless activists in Sydney, which may ultimately be worth it after all.
