In a world that is seeing print media transition into the new world of mobile reader apps, it is heart warming to see at least a handful of publications recognizing that their old ways will not fall well with users of these new devices. My biggest gripe is print publications charging MORE for their mobile apps than the actual print versions. While I could argue why this is their downfall, I’ll keep a smile with the launch of the Wallpaper* FREE iPhone App. Yes, the content is sponsored but you’ll have “best from the world of art, fashion, travel, architecture and technology.”

Delivered in a linenbag, these goat skin for the iPhone/iPod from Maison Takuya step up your case game a bit. The fine grain leather finish comes in all the colors you would expect. The leather itself will become more supple with use and wear. Rumors has them in Japan.

The guys over at Wrapper UK have take what looks to be vintage Mulberry wools – more than likely reclaimed from Mulberry jackets – and turned them into some simple and effect iPhone and iPod Touch sleeves.  Wrappers adds in a fine navy cotton canvas lining to make it close to waterpoof. Five colorways are available now online.

We’re sweating this killer tube preamp from Roth Music UK. The MC4 Music Cocoon is a small desktop preamp that has been specially formulated to help those compressed or uncompressed (long live FLAC and ALAC) sound files so they sound as good as they can. Plug the MC4 into your normal amp and through your speakers. The MC4 also has special circuits for a CD player and features some nice speaker short circuit protection. Again, what you win with the MC4 is the power of amping through tubes. Nothing beats it. (via iainclaridge)

Purveyors of fine Apple accessories, Incase are ready for the release of the next generation iPHONE. Four distinct options are available. Leather folios, protective cases, neoprene sleeves and a s slider case. There is a style to fit any taste and lifestyle. The cases will release online as well as at Apple retailers. 

As though you did not see it coming. The much speculated Apple 3G iPhone has launched and you can expect a whole host of new features( rumors sites look to have gotten much of it right) – 3G networking, GPS + guided maps, 3rd party applications, global rollout… my favorite feature is the flush headphone jack. No need for those special adapters any longer.

Price? 8GB 199$US and 16GB 299$US. Expect the second coming when this hits stores on July 11th.

Incase has released their protective cover for the iPhone in more colors, actually the CMYK pack. These cases represent the four standard process colors referred to as CMYK or Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. In print, these fundamental elements work together in creating the full spectrum of color.

The Incase covers proofed to be some of the most useful and least disturbing ones. Now you finally have some more fun colors in there as well.
