Griffin’s Elan Form Chilewich for iPhone 4 and 4
I remember way back in 2007 when it was enough to simply have an iPhone and people’s eyes would raise in wonder. However Apple’s smash hit phone has been so successful it’s borderline ubiquitous. If you love attention as much as I do, you will have dipped into the weird and wonderful world of iPhone cases. However, not all iPhone cases are created equal. The iPhone 4S is a wonderfully…

PMPs and smartphones of all shapes and sizes are pretty incredible music devices – they can store gigs of musical data and even better, can hook up to services like Spotify and tap into an infinite jukebox.
