Griffin unveiled its new Merchant Case + Square Reader ($20) for iPhone 5/5s. The new case is custom-molded to secure a Square Reader to the device. Griffin also updated two other pieces of hardware: the StudioConnect recording interface has evolved to become StudioConnect HD ($200), and PowerMate for the Mac has been updated to the PowerMate Bluetooth ($60) controller dial.
