Since the introduction of the iPad 2, magnets have become a somewhat common feature in cases for Apple's tablet. They're not found nearly as often in iPhone cases, but newcomer Bodydock has developed an entire solution based around them with the Cellphone Armor Sweet Spot Combo Kit for iPhone 4/4S ($80). For the price you get quite a few pieces; included in the set are a Cellphone Armor case, a protective bezel sticker, one Fabric Sweet Spot, six All Around Sweet Spot Magnets, two tethers -- one reel-style, one lanyard -- and a screen film kit. The case itself is made of rubber, plastic, and metal in a design that will only appeal to a very specific niche. Like many shells, it protects the iPhone's back and sides while leaving the top and bottom edges totally exposed. Bodydock also chose to incorporate a kickstand along the bottom edge, and separate openings for the camera and flash at the top. A magnetic plate is set inside a recessed area on the back, ready for connection to the included accessories. The Fabric Sweet Spot allows you to attach your iPhone to your clothing, with the negatively-charged magnet set sitting in the case's depression while the positive plate goes under a t-shirt or jeans, whereas the All Arounds have adhesive backings that allow them to stick to different surfaces for easy iPhone attachment.
