If you’ve ever wanted the convenience of an iPad, and the keyboard of an netbook, the Kensington KeyFolio is the case for you! Not only does this case protect your iPad, but incorporates a Bluetooth wireless keyboard for effortless typing.

Pros:

• The built-in Bluetooth keyboard features an awesome chicklet design, similar to the Apple wireless keyboard. This makes typing simple and comfortable.
• The exterior of the case features a nice, soft touch texture.
• You can use your iPad in a landscape or portrait position when using the KeyFolio case. This is nice if you use apps like Pages that work in portrait or landscape positions.
• The keyboard has integrated iPad-specific buttons. An example of this is the lock key, that locks your iPad’s screen.

If you liked the classic 90′s game “Outrun”, you will love Final Freeway. Final Freeway is an excellent third-person “retro” racing game for the iPad and iPhone. This game is supported on all devices running iOS 3.2 or higher.   This universal app is only $.99 in the iTunes App Store.

I think this game is well worth $.99, mainly because of the smooth controls and fun, classic feel. Final Freeway has never felt laggy and has always maintained a high frame rate. The classic feel to this game comes from it’s simple graphics and extremely simple concept: get to the finish line. The fact that you can choose the background music that is playing–preloaded songs or even songs from your iOS device’s music library–makes this game even more enjoyable. The main downfall of this game is that you can only drive one car which appears to be a red Ferrari F50. Overall, I think this game deserves a solid A.

I would like to thank ZooGue for sending this case out for review. Stay tuned for the full review of this case.

Do you like fast paced, arcade style racing games? If so, you’ll love Reckless Getaway! Reckless Getaway’s objective is simple: Get away from the police. Each level starts off with the driver robbing a bank, then it’s up to you to evade the police. Read the rest of this review to find out if Reckless Getaway is for you.

Pros:

• I’m a huge fan of the slightly cartoony graphics that Reckless Getaway offers.
• Reckless Getaway offers 17 different levels. This is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end.
• I love how Reckless Getaway is played. When playing, you view your car and the rest of the highway from a bird’s-eye view.
• The controls are simple–your car automatically accelerates while you steer using the left and right arrows on the side of the screen.
• Reckless Getaway has cool “power-ups” for your car. For instance, if you get the speed power-up,  you get a temporary speed boost.
• Reckless Racing is a universal app, this means that it will run on any iOS device.

The Luxmo Cassette case is an awesome gift idea for anyone with an iPhone 4 that likes music. While the case’s  somewhat awkward design makes the iPhone  appear “chunky”, it does add a ton of personalization to your phone. I would like to thank Luxmo for sending this case out to me for review.

Pros:

• The style of the Cassette case adds a lot of personalization to your phone. This case is sure to make your iPhone stand out from the crowd.
• Because of the strong silicone material that this case is made of, the Cassette case adds a ton of grip to your phone.
• The Cassette case provides a decent amount of protection to your phone. This is because the case has extra silicone on the corners.

Cons:

• A small part of the back of your iPhone is exposed, thereby creating the potential for scratches. This is because Luxmo tried to make the case look like a cassette by cutting out the “tape reel” on the back of the case.
• Because the case is made from silicone, it often catches lint when kept in your pocket.
• The dock connector isn’t cut out of the bottom area of the device.

This is My Next has reported that an iPhone 4 prototype has recently popped up on eBay. This prototype features a unique employee number printed on the front and back of the phone as well as other slight differences (from the production model). The prototype is running a production version of iOS 4.3.3 and cannot be activated via iTunes.

Currently the highest bid $100,200. This bid may or may not be legitimate, we will see in seven days when the bidding ends.
