August is a month of new arrivals at Mobile Fun - As well as new Incipio Cases, BlueLounge Charging Hubs, the Nokia E52 and LG Crystal, we’ve just received our first delivery of Seidio cases.
Seidio specialise in making protective cases for smart phones such as the Apple iPhone 3G & 3GS, Palm Pre, Palm Treo Pro and BlackBerry Storm and we’ve just launched the following ranges:
Seidio Innocase Surface
Innocases are the most popular type of case that Seidio make. They are made from a tough, flexible material that is just 1mm thick and has a soft touch finish for better grip. The Innocase Surface consists of a front and back cover that snap together to keep your device protected. Innocase Surface doesn’t cover the screen of your phone though, so we’d recommend using a screen protector to prevent it getting scratched.
Seidio Innocase Surface
The Innocase Surface has cut outs for all parts of the phone that you’ll need to access such as the charger port, headphone socket and volume controls.
- Seidio Innocase Surface for the Palm Pre – Available in Black, Blue and Red.
- Seidio Innocase Surface for the BlackBerry Storm – Available in Black, Grey and Red.
Seidio Innocase II Surface
Innocase II are almost identical to the original Innocase, the only real difference being the way that they fit to your phone. Instead of being a front and back cover that lock together, Innocase II is made of two sleeves that slide onto the top and bottom of your phone and lock together. While this might not seem like a big change, it almost eliminates the possibility of the cover coming off your phone when you drop it. Innocase II Surface doesn’t cover the screen of your phone though, so we’d recommend using a screen protector to prevent it getting scratched.

- Seidio Innocase II Surface for the BlackBerry Storm – Available in Black, Blue and Red.
- Seidio Innocase II Surface for the iPhone 3G / 3GS – Available in Black, Blue and Burgundy.
Seidio Innocase 360
The Innocase 360 is quite different to the other 2 in the Innocase range as it builds in protection for your screen and you keypad too. They’re made from the same tough, flexible material, but have a silicone cover to protect your keypad and a built in screen protector to stop your screen getting scratched. The Innocase 360 clips on to your phone in the same way as the Innocase Surface.

The Innocase 360 also has cut outs for all parts of the phone that you’ll need to access such as the charger port, headphone socket, camera and volume controls.
- Seidio Innocase 360 for the BlackBerry Storm – Available in Black, Blue and Red.
Seidio FlexArmor
FlexArmor cases are heavy duty rubber skins that have a tight fit to your phone and protect it against bumps, scrapes and drops. There are two different designs, one with a patterened back and one that is plainer, but has finger grooves for better grip. FlexArmor cases don’t cover the screen, so you’ll need to get a screen protector if you want to prevent it getting scratched.
Seidio FlexArmor
The FlexArmor is moulded specifically for each phone and has cut outs for all parts of the phone that you’ll need to access such as the charger port, headphone socket, camera and volume controls.
- Seidio FlexArmor for the iPhone 3G & 3GS – Available in Black, Grey and White.
- Seidio FlexArmor for the BlackBerry Storm – Available in Black and White.
- Seidio FlexArmor for the Palm Treo Pro – Available in Black.
Seidio Premium Skin
Premium Skins are high grade silicone cases that fit your phone and unlike some silicone cases are resistant to dust, stretching and tearing. Premium Skins are moulded specifically for each phone and have cut outs for all parts of the phone that you’ll need to access such as the charger port, headphone socket, camera and volume controls.
Seidio Premium Skin Case
Again, these cases don’t cover the screen, so you’ll need to get a screen protector if you want to prevent it getting scratched.
Seidio Premium Skins for the iPhone 3G & 3GS – Available in Black and White.
Seidio Cases are currently only available for Apple iPhone 3G & 3GS, Palm Pre, Palm Treo Pro and BlackBerry Storm with more due soon.

Although it hasn’t been confirmed yet, it looks as though there is a new Bluetooth headset on the way from BlackBerry. The current headset, the BlackBerry HS-655 was produced by Plantronics and was a great headset in its day, but as time and technology have moved on, it is definitely in need of an update.
The BlackBerry HS-500 has a brushed metal finish that’s similar to that found on current BlackBerry smart phones and incorporates the latest noise cancelling technology to make sure your calls are as clear as possible.
BlackBerry HS-500 Bluetooth Headset
The Features of the HS-500 include:
- Noise blackout technology with two noise cancellation microphones
- Multipoint technology lets you connect 2 devices at the same time
- Pair up to 8 devices – 2 at a time
- Crystal clear sound by advanced DSP (digital signal processing) technology
- Intelligent volume controls and audio shock protection
- Dual wearing style ear gel or flexible ear hook
- Dedicated on/off slide switch
- Micro USB Charging
- 6 Hours talk time
- 120 Hours stand by time
The BlackBerry HS-500 is expected into stock in the next few weeks and you can Pre-Order the BlackBerry HS-500 now for priority despatch and to avoid any disappointment.
Features, specification and release dates are subject to change

Stereo Bluetooth Headsets come in all shapes and sizes, from the incredibly tiny Sony Ericsson IS-800 to the rather large Nokia BH-604 – and most of them still involve cables, which to some extent takes away the point of having a Stereo Bluetooth headset in the first place.
Jabra have always made great Bluetooth headsets, but until recently their only Stereo Bluetooth Headset was the Jabra BT3030 – a great handsfree/headphone solution that hangs around your neck and allows you to connect any standard 3.5mm headphones to it. The ‘Dogtag’ style control unit gives you full control over your music playback and volume, but it’s unique styling might not appeal to everyone.
Earlier this month, Jabra released the Halo – a pair of stylish compact bluetooth headphones that are completely free of wires and have dual microphones to reduce background noise during calls. The Jabra Halo supports streaming music in stereo, playback controls (A2DP & AVRCP) and volume control. All sounds great on paper, so I decided to get a pair out and try them.

OK, I’ve seen some pretty odd ways of using mobile phone’s over the years, but this one really made me chuckle. As you’ve probably heard, you can now get TomTom Sat Nav on your iPhone, and the whole world seem to be going crazy about it.
Quite a few bloggers are reviewing the new software and posting video’s of it being used – which is great, after all £60 is a lot to spend on a software download if it’s no good, but I really think some people need to plan ahead when it comes to creating a video review.
This morning I stumbled on this iPhone TomTom video review on YouTube which shows off how easy the software is to use. They then take it for a spin in the car and demonstrate brilliantly how not to mount your iPhone in the car.
There are some things that sellotape shouldn't be used for!
Sellotaping your iPhone to the dash might be a quick fix, but just think of the mess that’s going to be left on his phone and dashboard when he’s done. Silly really, when for less than £15 he could have got himself an iPhone Sat Nav Pack that includes a rotating windscreen holder and car charger.
On the subject of iPhone holders, I’ve noticed that people seem to think that you have to use sat nav on the iPhone in landscape mode. As most phone holders for the iPhone 3G and 3GS are portrait, I’m guessing this is why people are resorting to sellotaping their phones to the dashboard, but what you may not realise is that Sat Nav works perfectly well in portrait mode too – in fact I prefer it. It means you don’t have to keep rotating the phone if a call or text message comes through and I find that you get a clearer view of what’s coming up on the road ahead. Admittedly, there’s not much in it, but do you really need to see all the side roads that you’re not going to be driving down?
CoPilot 8 on the iPhone: Landscape Vs Portrait
Easiest option of course is to just get yourself a rotating holder so that you can use your phone which ever way you want. The following iPhone car holders can all rotate for use in landscape or portrait mode:

The LG GD900 Crystal is the latest touch screen handset from LG and is in stock and ready for immediate dispatch.
The LG Crystal builds on the success of the LG Arena, packing in all of the same great features, but with the addition of a slide down transparent keypad for those who prefer the more traditional way of entering text.
LG GD900 Crystal
LG Crystal Main Features:
- 3″ High Resolution touch screen
- Transparent, touch sensitive keypad
- Supports 16GB micro SD HC memory cards
- 8 MP Camera
- HSDPA (7.2 Mbps) & Wi-Fi
- Handwriting Recognition
- HD Video Recording
- 1.5GB Internal Memory
- Gesture Control
The LG Crystal runs on the latest S-Class operating system, with separate home screens for contacts, media and widgets. The most interesting feature is of course the keypad which is completely see through. You can use it to dial your numbers and enter text as normal, but it can also be used for handwriting recognition and to act as a mouse pad when you’re using the internet on the phone.
Initial stock of the LG Crystal are limited, so order yours now and you’ll get it tomorrow.
