GUI Galaxy

If you’re fed up with getting mugged on the subway when you pull out your $19,500 iPhone 4 Diamond Edition case, then this is the solution for you: The Little Black Book. This unassuming journal-like case cradles your iPhone 4 in a protective, hand-crafted wood frame. The faux black leather binding adds a touch of class. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Sorry for the update delay, folks, but I do have a life outside of GUIGalaxy. Ok, I don’t. I did have to get quarantined from that monkey bite, however. Anyway, today we have faster iMacs, 12-core Mac Pros, 27″ Cinema Displays, and a brand new device, the Magic Trackpad. Bizzidy BAM!

That’s not funny, bro.

The greatest iPhone case ever laid upon planet Earth, Colors by SwitchEasy, is now available for iPhone 4. Simple, practical, beautifully designed, and one of the absolute few to actually protect the phone’s “home” button. The case also comes with two anti-static screen guards, a microfiber wipe, a squeegee for screen guard application, and jack/port protectors. Get it, son.

Continuing the Space Invaders line of posting, have a gander at a handcrafted leather iPad Sleeve, emblazoned with the iconic pixel beasties. The “iPad Space Invaders Sleeve” is available via Etsy for $79.00.

What the Rocketeer!? The HM4 Thunderbolt watch from MB&F, dubbed a “Horological Machine”, is $158,000 worth of pure time-telling insanity. 3 years in the making, this time piece features dual cylinders, the left of which tells you how much power remains in its kinetic charger, with the right displaying the time. The aerodynamic, jet engine-like design is spawned from Maximilian Büsser‘s childhood passion for assembling model plane kits.

I’ve long been a fan of SwitchEasy‘s cases, and the RibCage sleeve for iPad solidifies why. The shock dissipating ribcage design is high pressure molded and designed to defend against direct screen impacts. Their Colors case for iPhone is still my all-time favorite … still waiting on the iPhone 4 creations they have in store.

Behold, the greatest keyboard your fat little sausage fingers might ever touch: the Art Lebedev Studio “Optimus Popularis“. It has some really cool features, like a perpetually-active status bar beneath the F-keys (showing things like the weather, stocks, new email). Also, the individual keys each have customizable displays which occupy nearly the entire key surface. Coming at the end of 2010 for “under $1,000″. Thanks for narrowing that down.

The “Space Dip Triple Retro Messenger Bag” from ThinkGeek features silkscreened Space Invaders printed along one side. The vinyl messenger bag is available now for $90.

From design collective Grove come some sweet laser-engraved Bamboo iPhone 4 cases. Available in both “artist series” pre-engraved designs, as well as having the option to add your own art, the cases are made with sustainable, eco-friendly materials.
