by Scott Carmichael on

Accessory maker Scosche just unveiled their newest iPhone 4 case — the SwitchBACK Surge g4. The case features a whole bunch of handy features. The most important feature is a beefy 1800mAh battery pack, capable of boosting your phone back to near-full state.

A handy kickstand means you can sit back and watch some movies and its MicroUSB port allows for charging and syncing, without the need for the Apple dock cable. The rear of the case features an interchangeable back in silver or black.

As a first on any iPhone battery case, the SwitchBACK Surge g4 lets you know its charging status through LED lights and a free app. The app tells you the exact charge level, and how much talk/music time you have remaining.

The case fits the AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 and retails for $79.99. It is available right now through Scosche.com.

by Scott Carmichael on

Mobile Gadget maker Scosche is on a bit of roll – both with new products, and creative names for said products. After releasing the motorMOUTH II Bluetooth adapter, they just announced the first dual mode iPhone/iPod/iPad video cable – called sneakPEEK II.

Unlike other products, the sneakPEEK II offers component and composite cables in a single device. Charging can be done off the integrated MicroUSB plug, making this one handy all-in-one charge/watch/listen cable.

The sneakPEEK II is also compatible with the newest update to the iPad Netflix app, which means your sixty bucks for this cable will let you connect your iPad to the hotel TV (when possible) to watch flicks on the big(ger) screen.

You’ll find the new Scosche sneakPEEK II over at Scosche.com.


Scosche motorMOUTH II – tiny plug and play Bluetooth for your car

by Scott Carmichael on

Today, audio accessory maker Scosche announced motorMOUTH II – the smallest Bluetooth handsfree car kit and streaming audio receiver ever made. This tiny device is only slightly larger than some headphone jacks, and plugs directly into the AUX input found on most current radios. Once plugged in, the unit turns into a handsfree microphone and audio streamer for Bluetooth music.

Best of all, at just $79.99, it is priced below most decent Bluetooth carkits. The motorMOUTH II comes complete with an AUX extension cable, additional mount and a Y-cable which allows you to use it as a carkit and still plug music in for wired usage. The motorMOUTH II is available from Fry’s electronics.

Once plugged in, you’ll be able to control the voice dialing feature on your phone, pick up and hang up on phone calls and of course, make handsfree phone calls, without breaking any state or city handsfree laws.
