Rearth makes some very unique cases for the iPhone. Their Ringke case is still one of my personal favorites.

I reviewed the Ringke Slim back in December and will be reviewing the Ringke Steel shortly.

Doomsday Might Be Coming, Better Win Yourself an ioSafe Rugged Portable
In our CES 2012 ioSafe Demo video we showed you just how tough the company’s upcoming Rugged Portable with Thunderbolt is. Now you have a chance to win yourself one of ioSafe’s current 500GB Rugged Portable Drives. The company is holding a contest on their blog and it all revolves around identifying strange noises that may or may not mark the beginning of the end of the world . According to ioSafe,
There are reports of weird noises being heard all over the world. An article at Sync.ca has a clip of the strange sounds and lists a number of possible explanations.
Whatever the source the noises may be, one thing is for sure: if an extinction-level event is just around the corner, you’ll want to make sure that your data is backed up on an apocalypse-proof ioSafe – and you could win one, easy!

If the noises remain a mystery after six weeks, the winner will be randomly selected from all the entries.
Review & Giveaway: Zazzle Custom Case for iPhone 4/4s
Custom cases for the iPhone 4/4s are nothing new. Here’s the thing to know about them though. They’re only as good as the case company making them. A custom made case can be a wonderful thing. But if it comes in the form of a dime store case it’s simply not going to last and that’ll only end up with you being unhappy. Zazzle made a good choice when it decided to partner with Case-Mate for their custom iPhone 4/4s cases. To create a custom Zazzle case you get two options. You can choose from one of their pre-loaded designs, which comes from artists from all over the world. Or you can do what I did, and upload an image of your own.
How does the process work? Read on for my full review and be sure to read through to the end to find out how you might win a custom case of your own.
We’ve made no secret here at Run Around Tech about our love of Element Case.

The case also comes with two optional back plates, one blue ultra suede and the other white pearl. You’ll also find a microfiber cleaning cloth and the transit pouch (includes speed wrench, travel case and screen shield) which allows protect the case while on the go. If you’re looking for an aluminum bumper style case for your iPhone 4/4s you’ll be hard pressed to find one as sexy as the Vapor COMP.
Each Vapor COMP case is made from CNC machine milled aluminum and is made in the USA.

You Can Win ioSafe’s Yet To Be Announced Product
Each year at CES one of the highlights is the demo from ioSafe. The first year they burned up and crushed one of the SSD drives. Then capped it off the following year by first dragging one of their rugged portable drives behind a car and then letting each of us who were there to witness it blast the drive with a shotgun. Who knows what they’ve got planned for this year. All we know is it’s going to be “shocking”. Or at least that’s all ioSafe is willing to tell us at this point.
You can get in on the anticipation too. ioSafe will be giving away one of whatever it is they will be unveiling this year at CES. To win it all you have to do is guess what it this “shocking” device is that the company plans to utilize in their CES 2012 demo. Yep, that’s it.
To get in on the guessing action and read the rules of the contest in full head to this page on the ioSafe web site.
Good luck!

Video Review: Quirky Switch Modular Pocket Knife
Multitools are cool but they usually are comprised of one or two tools that you use often and several that you don’t. The Switch Modular Pocket Knife from Quirky allows you to build your very own custom multi tool in three different sizes (small, medium and large.) You choose the pieces you want in your knife from 18 different included components. The Switch is made from stainless steel and comes in it’s very own plastic carrying case so all the parts stay neat and organized. Check out my video review above – oh yeah, I’m giving one away too! Then head to the Switch page on the Quirky web site here to learn more about it.
