The next time you lose your iPhone, you might need to look for it in 1969 because it could have traveled through time and space thanks to these TARDIS skins.
The skin is available for several gadgets like the iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Nook and the Motorola Droid.

World-crafting fun can now be had on your iPhone or iPad now that the Minecraft Pocket Edition has hit the App Store for $6.99.
Features:
I haven’t had a chance to test it out myself, but it appears that this is an extremely barebones version of Minecraft, focusing only on the creative component of the game. Hopefully, that will change as more updates are added.
Our friends at QMx have unveiled a new Warehouse 13 app that allows users to turn their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a Farnsworth for sharing video and audio messages. And believe me, QMx knows something about Farnsworths—they actually make the props for the show.
Haven’t had enough Angry Birds yet? I’m sure a backlash is on the horizon, but in the meantime a speaker series is on the way from gear4.
Despite the red bird having a reputation for being useless, the speaker is actually quite functional. Both the red bird and bomber bird versions have the ability to connect to a mobile device with an auxiliary cable. It also comes with a separate iPhone/iPod/iPad dock. The green pig version, on the other hand, has a built-in helmet dock for the iPod/iPhone.
Look for the speakers to be released later this fall for $79.99-$99.99.
As you probably know, Apple has a big event scheduled for October 4th where the iPhone 5 (and/or the cheaper iPhone 4S) will likely be revealed. As it is with every iPhone release, coverage of the announcement will be intense and anxious buyers will get iPhone fever leading up to the pandemonium of launch day. It’s like Apple has everyone in some sort of trance. That phenomenon is why completely ridiculous iPhone-related products like these exist.
Although hands-free phones make users look like gesticulating weirdos who talk to themselves, only EARonic iPhone cases up the ante by making it look like you’re doing all that on an imaginary phone. Designed by artist Daniela Gilsanz, these unique cases sport five different ears, including additional features like facial hair, earrings and various skin and hair tones to make your look more accurate. However, if you just want people to laugh at you, there’s always this.

If you experienced the wondrous decade known as the 1990s, then chances are you whiled away the hours playing retro game consoles including SEGA’s Genesis/Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast (probably looking something like this in the process). Although those days are gone, you can still keep the nostalgia going with this series of polycarbonate SEGA iPhone 4 shells. Hopefully this selection will grow to include some of the other gaming relics like the Atari Jaguar and the SNES.

Unfortunately, this iPhone 4 case won’t give you superhuman hearing or make your reception any clearer. What it will do is make you look like you have a gigantic ear attached to a peanut head. It may also give younger guys a frightning glimpse at what they might look like in their old age.
At this point you are probably wondering how anyone could possibly live another minute of their lives without this product. I completely understand—but be patient. It will be available starting next month for around $13. In the meantime, you’ll have a tough decision to make between the ear case and the severed hand case.

Remember the iPlunge iPhone stand? Well, there’s another stand out now that’s shaped like a wrench. Not really sure what the whole plumbing theme is all about, unless they’re trying to say that the phone is sh*t.

Just when you thought Japan couldn’t possibly get any weirder, they go and create the Dokkiri (Kid’s) Hand Case for iPhone 4. Even the product page, Strapya World, thinks this thing is crazy—that’s like Bill Gates calling someone a nerd.
Why would you want a hand on your iPhone 4, right? Well, believe it or not, this Hand iPhone 4 case could actually come in “handy”. As shown on the picture on the right, you could hold hands with your iPhone to make sure you don’t drop it. Or if you are feeling really lonely, this case may reach out to you and give you company. Okay, I am done. This case is crazy. This case is creepy. And for some people, this case is absolutely awesome.
I am firmly in the “creepy” category on this one, but if you long to shake hands with your iPhone, the case will ship in August. Pre-orders are already underway.
