This iPhone case is “Off the Wall”

This iPhone 4 case from Vans is sub-zero cool. The rubber case features Vans’ signature waffle sole and other details that make a pair of Vans loafers so timelessly iconic. We particularly like that “Off the Wall” heel tag.
The Vans Rubber Waffle edition iPhone 4 case retails for US$28 but as you would imagine, the casing is flaying off the shelves so sourcing for one is going to be a challenge. If you’re desperate for one, there are a few on sale on eBay going for US$100 — ouch!

Stand out from the crowd with this snazzy 80s phone case. RM199. Spotted at S&J, One Utama. Says on the box that it fits iPhone 3, 3GS and iPhone 4. We would think it will fit the iPhone 4S as well.
But RM200 is quite steep for what essentially is just a plastic cover.

YouTube takes a look back at 2011 and lists down the most viewed videos for this year.
2011 is also a landmark year for YouTube as it surpassed the one trillion video playbacks mark. That’s more than twice as many stars as in the Milky Way, so among the millions of hours of videos which one is the most viewed in 2011?
You’ll be surprised with the result.
Make that Apple logo on the back of your iPhone 4S glow in just 5 minutes

When it first made an appearance, that glowing Apple logo on the cast aluminium PowerBooks was one seriously cool piece of embellishment ever seen on a computer. A few years on, the PowerBook is no more but that glowing Apple logo lives on in MacBooks. While competitors have attempted in various iterations to emulate that cool white glow, nothing exudes sophistication like that stylised half bitten apple from Cupertino.
For the longest time, iPhone users wanted that cool white glow on the back of their favourite smartphone. Oddly enough Apple has yet to oblige with a very obvious addition to the iPhone. So for these customers there are two options, hope for the feature to be added on to the next iPhone…or…get this convenient mod kit and DIY the glowing logo yourself.
Originating from China – where else – the DIY mod kit replaces your standard iPhone 4S back plate with one that has a glowing Apple logo retrofitted onto it. The kit, only available for iPhone 4 and 4S looks simple enough to do but you need to have the right tools (because doesn’t come with any tools) and gather enough geek-courage to take apart the iPhone yourself.
If you want one, the kit costs 270 Yuan which is about RM136 at today’s exchange rate, excluding shipping and handling. Of course by modifying your iPhone you can say goodbye to your Apple warranty but on the flip side you get that oh-so-cool glowing logo that you can show off to your friends with. For some, getting a warranty void is a small price to pay in order to achieve that cool status.
Head to this online store to get your very own glowing apple but you got to be quick as it looks like stocks are very limited.
Head over to after the jump for a video that shows how to mod your iPhone to add that glowing logo.

They created a sensation with the amazing unboxing of the Nexus One, then they took it a step further by taking over the whole YouTube page during the unboxing of the Nexus S and now, the Nexus Ninjas are back with another edition of Nexus unboxing.
This time the Ninjas go into 8-bit mode complete with a playable game where you play the Ninja and battle enemies using “Nexus Power” on your quest to ultimately unbox the Galaxy Nexus. The first three levels are playable online while the rest comes in a form of an Android app called Clash of The Nexus Ninjas available for download here.
There are more Nexus Ninjas videos and a couple of the screen caps for you after the jump. Have fun.

Google Maps for Indoor navigation

Google Maps is a useful little app which helps people find their way. However when you get indoors where GPS reception is impossible, it is hardly of any use to navigate around. Now Google has attempted to solve that with new Google Map Indoors Beta.
It comes with floor mapping solution by levels and it even knows which floor you’re on. Accuracy is said to be within couple of meters and it is likely that Google Maps Indoors rely on WiFi location information to pin point your rough location.
For a start, they currently support major airports and shopping malls in United States and Japan. Currently this works only Android 2.2 and above with Google Maps 6.0. Wouldn’t it be cool if this works at shopping mall basement car parks?
To learn more, head over to Google Map’s Start Here.
Head after the break for introductory videos including submitting a floor plan.
Rugged G-Form Extreme Edge case protects iPad from drops even at 1300 feet

The iPad with its glorious front glass may look sleek but careless mistakes such as dropping it can mess that precious gadget of yours in an instant. For maximum protection, there’s the G-Form extreme case which they have demonstrated an iPad surviving the impact of a dropping bowling bowl.
To take things to the next level, G-Form took it for a drop test at 1,300 feet with help of some skydivers. Watch it to believe. That’s one crazy protection sleeve. Head after the break for another test where they toss it out from a moving vehicle at 180KM/h.
