GrooveShield Form the best iPhone 3G case yet?

It's rare that we get a mobile phone case that really excites us--as you can imagine--but we think we've found one. The Cygnett GrooveShield Form iPhone 3G case is as simple as it is beautiful--yes that's right, we just called a case beautiful.

The GrooveShield Form is very straightforward: it's shaped in such a way that it hugs your iPhone 3G perfectly and protects the back, corners, and edges from scratches and general wear and tear.

Because of its thinness, the GrooveShield Form almost looks like it's part of the case, and in fact many people who've seen ours thought we had some special-edition ninja iPhone--which is exactly what you want a case to look like.

Depending on your preference, you can get the GrooveShield Form in black, pink, red and check. You'll be able to get your hands on a GrooveShield Form for around $24, but a retailer has yet to be announced.

How does the case look to you?

Yeah, that's a great case, especially since it's a nigh-on exact replica of the Cozip case for the original iPhone that has been out for quite awhile. Cozip never achieved much acclaim that I saw, but the cases (also available for the Touch) are excellent and relatively inexpensive (albeit with a hefty shipping charge).

The case looks like one I had for my original iPhone, made by iHome but, it had a swivel belt clip on it. It would not fit the 3G because of the curveature of the back. Let me know where to get it ??? Will there be a BLUE ???

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
