Griffin TechSafe Locking Case + Cable Lock keeps your iPad 2 secure

by Steven Sande (Oct 8th, 2011)

Mobile devices like the iPad, the iPhone, and the iPod touch have one unfortunate trait in common -- they're very easy for someone to steal. With the great demand for the iPad 2, you will want to keep it locked away somewhere or take it with you everywhere just to keep thieving hands off of the ...

Griffin IntelliCase: A great Smart Cover alternative for iPad 2

by Steven Sande (Aug 13th, 2011)

TUAW reviews a lot of iPad cases. That's made me somewhat jaded about new cases, and when Griffin Technology pitched me on the new IntelliCase for iPad 2 I was a bit on the skeptical side. After using this case for a few days, however, I've changed my mind -- the IntelliCase (US$59.99) is an ...

by Matt Tinsley (Aug 3rd, 2011)

Griffin CarTrip will track efficiency and show diagnostic reports (video)

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Jan 9th, 2011)

We mentioned the CarTrip when they announced it earlier in the week, but after seeing this thing in person at CES, I really want one. Primarily because the device will allow you to clear the stupid "check engine" light in most cars made after 1996 with an ODB-II port. You see, the CarTrip features ...

Review: Griffin Loop for the iPad

by TJ Luoma (Sep 7th, 2010)

Griffin Technology is known for making handy accessories for the Mac and iPod/iPhones. The MacBook Pro that I am using to write this article is currently supported by the Griffin iCurve (which was later replaced with the Elevator), which I've been using for about 6 years now. When I saw the Loop ...

Griffin announces iPhone auto charger

by Dave Caolo (Jul 2nd, 2007)

Why, just yesterday I was driving along and thinking, "I wish I had an auto charger for my iPhone..." Lucky for me, the Griffin Technology Psychic Friends Network answered my unspoken plea. The PowerJolt for iPhone fits into your car's 12v jack (we used to call it the "cigarette lighter" back in the ...

Griffin releases the AirDock

by David Chartier (Apr 28th, 2007)

While Griffin's new $70 AirDock might sound like it's a contender to the wirelessly syncing WiDock's throne, don't let its name fool you. It doesn't sport 802.11x for syncing with a Mac or PC, but it does include an RF remote for controlling the AirDock, even through walls (Infrared, like in the ...

Griffin previews the Amplifi

by Dave Caolo (Apr 2nd, 2007)

Now that you can get 256kbps, DRM-free music from iTunes (well, in May, anyway) you're going to want to hear what that extra $0.30US buys you. You could pick up an iPod HiFi for $350US, or wait a bit for the Amplifi by Griffin Technology. The Amplifi is a 2.1 sound system for all iPod models (it ...

by Scott McNulty (Jan 18th, 2007)

We continue to relive the wonder and joy that was Macworld Expo 2007 with yet another showfloor interview.

Back in April we wrote about the public beta of Proxi, which is the easy-to-use scripting software from Griffin Technology. Proxi lets you automate complicated routines, much like Automator or QuicKeys. Earlier this week, Griffin released version 1.0 of Proxi. Changes to version 1.0 include support ...
