If you like to use your iPhone in a case that adds a lot of bulk I have the concept for you. The case concept is called the Arkhippo and is made from a material that is like Crocs shoes. The idea is that the case lets you stand you iPhone up or lay it on its side for watching video.

With the white iPhone 4 getting another delay recently rumors have started to swirl that there may be another reason. According to the rumors the delay may be to fix the antenna issue on the white handset.

Apple has offered up a new iOS 4.1 Beta 2 release specifically for devs. If you are a dev the new beta OS supports the iPhone 4, 3GS, and 3G as well as the iPod touch.

$1,000 iPhone case, anyone?

If you are an art lover and had extra money to spend for your lovely iPhone, you might be interested in with this “Jap-tastic iPhone cases”. Available from SoftBank for iPhone 3G and 3GS, its price is roughly $1,000 each.

As iPhone Savior wrote:

Here’s a set of Jap-tastic iPhone cases that are so expensive they come with their own slip-cover case (for your case). These stunning works of fine art take designers four grueling weeks to complete using special paints, lacquer and gold dust.

The fantastical price of roughly $1,000 each is justified by the use of an overpaid historian, with each case design connecting to Japan’s rich pageantry of the Sengoku period (1467 to 1615).

WildCharger Bundle: Charge Pad & Skin for iPhone 3GS video unboxing

Only the other this morning we were talking about WildCharge‘s latest wire-free charging upgrade to accommodate the iPhone 3GS, and now it’s sitting on our desk. Based around a mains-powered base-plate and special “skin” case for the Apple smartphone, the WildCharge system is fully approved by Apple and promise protection from bumps and scratches as well as cable-free convenience. Check out our unboxing video and hands-on gallery after the cut.

The WildCharge works via connecting the zero-profile conductive strips on the base-plate with contact-point nubs on the back of the iPhone case. What’s special about it is the fact that you needn’t line up the phone with the strips; just placing it down at any angle is enough.

The “skin” case for the iPhone is priced at $34.99, while a bundle including the base-plate is $79.99; both are available to order now. We’ll have a full review of the WildCharge wire-free charging system for the iPhone 3GS very soon, but until then enjoy the unboxing video and gallery.
