Hi again,<\/p>\n

Hope you had a great Valentines Day on Monday, if you celebrate it!\u00a0 Personally I mostly celebrate it by glowering all day at any happy couples I see, but that\u2019s just me\u2026<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my round-up this week:<\/p>\n

The Etch-a-Sketch Case for iPhone 4<\/a>\/ Etch-a-Sketch Case for iPad<\/a> is really cute, for the nostalgic types who love a bit of kitsch.\u00a0 It\u2019s officially licensed to celebrate the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of Etch-a-Sketch (sorry if I just made anyone feel old!) and if you team it with the free Etch-a-Sketch app then you can relive your childhood with a modern twist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Otterbox Defender<\/a> is the toughest Galaxy Tab case<\/a> ever \u2013 well, until someone makes a tougher one!\u00a0 It\u2019s got three different layers of material to absorb shocks and protect against scratches and scrapes, so however bumpy your commute is it\u2019ll get you through the day.\u00a0 We\u2019ve got a press release for it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of commuters, I\u2019m a bit sceptical about this next one \u2013 the Earzee Bluetooth wristband<\/a>, which basically makes your hand into a phone so that you can go even more \u201chands-free\u201d than with a Bluetooth headset<\/a>.\u00a0 You may look correspondingly even sillier, though! It\u2019s a novel idea though, so if you\u2019re a journalist and would like a go with one then let me know.<\/p>\n

Fandroids will be pleased to know that the SIM free HTC Desire S<\/a> is available for pre-order, and already generating a lot of attention \u2013 not surprising really, given the success of the Desire. It\u2019ll be coming into stock very soon.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a funny thing \u2013 the iPhone 4 Horn Desk Stand<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s a bit like the modern equivalent of a gramophone, and acts as a desk stand for your iPhone 4 whilst also amplifying sound from your device with its horn.\u00a0 Great for watching movies, and available in black<\/a> and white<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A bit of news from our sister site GamingZap \u2013 they\u2019re very excited about the Playstation 3 TwistDock<\/a> which holds and docks your console, as well as charging your controllers, clearing up all of that annoying PS3 mess that gets in the way \u2013 and it swivels!<\/p>\n

As usual, journalists can drop me a line<\/a> if they\u2019ve any enquiries or wish to request a review sample.<\/p>\n

Best wishes,
\nMF Nat<\/p>\n
