by Mike Schramm (Feb 3rd, 2011)

The iChair combines a case with a stand for iPhone and iPad

by Mike Schramm (Jan 12th, 2011)

Not everyone has a product as flashy as the Sphero or as attention-grabbing as the hot new tablet computers. Some of the vendors in the booths are just people trying to sell cases. ...

by Michael Rose (Nov 27th, 2010)

It's a local-boys-make-good story for the Internet age: two New Yorkers brainstorm an idea for the kind of iPhone 4 tripod mount/stand they'd want to buy.

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 27th, 2010)

We've drooled over the Joule, a classy metal iPad stand before, and the Vapor iPhone 4 case is one of my favorite iPhone cases. That said, they are not what you would call inexpensive.
