There are three things we enjoy at Appletell: the iPad, Speck products and free stuff. With the help of the fine people at Speck, we’re going to combine all three to give you the chance to win your choice of iPad case from any in the Speck product line. Choose your model, choose your color/design, then just sit back and wait for your name to be called. Hurry, though…the contest ends at midnight, September 15th.

Now that we’re a couple of months past the launch of the heavily redesigned iPhone 4, the number of available case options has finally reached the level we’ve come to expect. Before long, we’ll be inundated with options, so let’s stay on top of things with a look at soft shell options: Case Mate’s Gelli Case, Proporta’s Silicone iPhone 4 Reception Case with SteriTouch, and Speck’s PixelSkin.

There’s a theory in the scientific community that if the world is ever wiped out by nuclear holocaust, the cockroaches alone will survive to repopulate the planet. I’m all for this, because a planet of walking, sentient cockroaches sounds crazy cool, and because if humans ever do destroy our ability to survive, then the cockroaches deserve their chance in the driver’s seat.

What the scientists are missing, though, is that there’s another creature with an even stronger ability to adapt and survive. Change its habitat, change its food supply, smash it with a hammer…doesn’t matter. It’ll survive. It’ll continue to grow and populate, and it’ll always do its best to match your purse. I’m talking, of course, about the iPhone case. Here are some for the new iPhone 3G. No need to be creeped out by them, but best to keep a can of Raid handy.

• PDO TopSkin

With the iPhone 3G recently released, we are seeing an onslaught of cases coming to market. The decision for a case will be easy for some, as it seems a lot of manufacturers are making the same—if not similar—models as their original iPhone counterparts. But, what are you to do if this is your first iPhone, or if you are looking for something new?With so many from which to choose, this can be difficult.

Speck has quickly introduced a few case models that fit the new iPhone, one of which is the PixelSkin. Check out the review after the break.
