Speck PixelSkin for iPod nano 5G

Almost identical to the fourth-generation iPod nano version of PixelSkin, which was available in 10 colors, the new PixelSkin for iPod nano 5G ($20) is initially available only in black, and features the same grid-like rear pattern, interrupted by a hole for the new nano's video camera. No screen protector or Click Wheel protector is included.

Company: Speck Products

Website: http://www.speckproducts.com/

Model: SeeThru

Price: $30

Compatible: iPhone 3G, 3GS

Speck SeeThru for iPhone 3G + 3GS

Not to be confused with Speck's earlier SeeThru for iPhone 3G -- the names are really similar -- the company's new SeeThru for iPhone 3G + 3GS ($30) is a considerably cooler design, using soft transparent plastic for a design that's very similar to its CandyShell cases. Packaged with a screen protector, the new SeeThru comes in a variety of different colors, including white, black, red, pink, and aqua blue.

Company: Joby

Website: www.Joby.com

Model: Gorillamobile

Price: $40

Compatible: iPhone 3G/3GS, iPod nano 5G

Joby Gorillamobile for iPhone 3G / 3GS

As the second iPhone-ready camera mount we've seen in the past week, Joby's new Gorillamobile ($40) can be used as a tripod or as a novel, flexible grabbing mount to place the iPhone on tubes, pipes, and other objects for stabilization. Packaged with an iPhone-holding frame, a traditional camera attachment, and two adhesive clips for use with iPod nanos and other devices, Gorillamobile's versatility is created through the use of numerous connected ball joints that allow for dramatic versatility.

Company: CableJive

Website: www.Cablejive.com

Model: DuraSync

Price: $22

Compatible: Dock Connecting iPods, iPhones

CableJive DuraSync

Yes, there is a company other than Monster Cable that's trying to sell USB cables even more expensive than Apple's. CableJive has introduced DuraSync ($22), a short, 3-foot-long Dock Connector to USB cable that it claims can withstand "pulling, jerking, and being run over." DuraSync is transparent with stiff Dock Connector and USB plugs at its ends, and can be used for synchronization and charging when connected to a computer.
