Exovault Metal Case Bricks Your iPhone, In a Good Way
By John Herrman, 6:35 AM on Wed Jul 15 2009

Machined out of aluminum, brass or titanium, Exovault cases are about as masculine as iPhone accessories get. I'm struggling with to find a catchy name for style of product, but I think I'll settle on "postapocalyptipunk." Or possibly "Zunepunk."

I can see a few potential problems here, like poor heat dissipation, iPhone scratching, excessive weight and general discomfort during use and carrying, but if you're the kind of person who sees the Exovault and thinks "awesome," you probably don't care. Cases ground out from the lesser metals are available for $95 each, while the titanium version sells for a sky-high $300.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_factron-iphone-06-07-09.jpgThe new Factron case for the iPhone looks to beef up the iPhone's camera capacity considerably with interchangeable lenses (http://gizmodo.com/tag/interchangeable-lenses/) that screw onto the already sweet-looking metal and leather case.

http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/07/504x_factron-iphone-01.jpgIt's compatible with the iPhone 3G only, for some reason, but 3G owners should be pretty excited—the case features wide-angle, closeup, and fisheye lenses that screw on to the back, in case you want all your contacts to look like they're in a late '90s rap and/or skateboard video. But it doesn't come cheap, at $200 for the case and $15-55 for each additional lens, and the company even warns that reception may not be so hot, considering all that metal between the receiver and signal.

When Jason lifts his head up from work I am sure he can tell you about his case. It is rubber, and wraps around the unit. He's dropped it a few times without damage, and he can lay it on the dashboard and drive around like he's in the Indy 500 and it sits there nice and snug. He had one for his first iphone and it looks as good as new two years later so he got another for the new iphone.

I have also seen polycarbonate 'armor' hard cases for iPhones.
