A while back, I wrote a review of a Clingo car mount. At CTIA, I met with Allsop's marketing manager, Kelli Veening, and she showed me some of the new products they are unveiling.      In addition to some new tablet stands, they now have a tablet brand-agnostic blue tooth keyboard case which uses their incredibly sticky gel to secure any 10" tablet to the hard plastic back.  The back secures to the keyboard (which is also encased in a sturdy plastic shell) via several small magnets, creating a total sleek and protective unit.  Because the tablet sleek us actually a separate unit from...

Made for any tablet (it can even work with the Kindle Fire), the Tablet Claw attaches to the frame of your tablet and gives you a convenient handle on the back so that you can swivel from portrait to landscape, or have a stand when you choose to put your tablet down. You can buy the Tablet Claw for $39.99.

When you go to an event like CTIA, you want to find something that just blows your socks off. I was lucky enough to find that something quickly, and almost by accident. Having spent two years in Taiwan as a teen, I find myself drawn to the Taiwan pavilion at CTIA, and it was there that I discovered Esoterism. Even the signage  in their booth was a mechanical drawing done by their artistic director, who happens to be a professor of art at one of Taipei's most prestigious art institutes. We will look at two pieces as they were presented to me. Aluminum bumper cases for the iPhone 4/4S, you can tell...

A while back, I told you about a Kickstarter project - CellHelmet. Well, we are getting ready to see the final project, and this morning, the machines began rolling, and the product went into production. This has been a fun project to watch, because the CellHelmet team has apprised their backers of every step along the way, every delay, every production move. Nobody ever wondered where they stood, because these guys have sent out an email every night with an update. This is one dedicated and involved team! I was lucky enough to catch up with them at CTIA in New Orleans, and hear directly...
