In Win's Tou desktop case has glass and class all over it

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="In Win's Tou desktop PC case is made " data-src-height="413" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/in-win-tou-desktop-pc-case.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">At Computex, Taiwan-based In Win has once again brought out its funky-looking desktop cases, but this time there's a new star on the stage. Dubbed the Tou (meaning "transparent" in Mandarin Chinese), this ATX full tower features several 3mm-thick tempered glass panels that are screwed onto an aluminum structure. And since the coated glass is semi-transparent, you can just about see the desktop's innards if you switch on the LEDs inside, which can be controlled via the touch panel above the two front USB 3.0 ports. When the internal lights are off, the desktop is pretty much just a mirror, but you'll want to degrease your fingers before touching any part of it.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">Sadly, at the moment the Tou is still at concept stage, so we couldn't squeeze a price or date out of the reps. When the chassis does become available, you'll know as soon as we do. </div></div>

Alleged budget iPhone shows off polycarbonate body, brings back good memories

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Alleged leak suggests upcoming budget iPhone will revert to polycarbonate body" data-src-height="400" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/iphone-budget-leak.jpg" /></div>The rumor about that more affordable iPhone just keeps coming back, but this time we're finally seeing some sort of progress. Courtesy of case manufacturer Tactus, we're apparently looking at the upcoming budget iPhone's polycarbonate shell, which was spotted at a factory that provides parts to Foxconn. It's the same story for the "iPad 5" case leak that Tactus published two days ago (the same day as our own scoop), so the company does seem to have a good contact for these kinds of goodies -- and it is a very competitive market, after all.<br /> Compared to the old polycarbonate iPhone 3G and 3GS, this mysterious shell appears to have a flat back instead of the old curved one, meaning it should reduce manufacturing complexity and therefore the cost as well. Another notable difference is that the old volume rocker is split into two, and then there's also the LED flash that was absent on the old polycarbonate iPhones. Tactus adds that this body is slightly taller, wider and thicker than the iPhone 4 and 4S, but what we do struggle to believe is that apparently the same factory is producing this shell in black and white as well as blue, red and yellow. A decoy, perhaps? Only time will tell.<br /> </div></div>

Otterbox iPhone 4 / 4S Defender case with iON Intelligence launching April 18th for $130

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Otterbox iPhone 4 / 4S Defender case with iON Intelligence launching April 18th for $130 (video)" data-src-height="412" data-src-width="619" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/otterbox.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It was at CES that we were first introduced to Otterbox's Defender case with iON Intelligence, which promises to keep phones alive in two ways: by shielding them from physical abuse, and by serving up extra juice whenever they're thirsty. Otterbox has now told us the new case is nearly ready to <strike>bounce off</strike> hit the streets, and will be launching on April 18th for the iPhone 4 and 4S. The case combines the familiar hard shell, rubbery sleeve and screen protector for laughing off falls, with a 1,450mAh battery -- that's a sliver bigger than the 4 / 4S built-ins -- to effectively double capacity. LEDs on the case let you know how much extra juice is left, and the companion iON Intelligence app automatically redirects power when it's needed, and monitors usage to predict how long 'til your next charge. The iPhone 4 / 4S model will be available from Otterbox's online den for $129.95, and others are in the works for "other top iOS and Android devices." Check out the promo videos below for a full product walkthrough.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><iframe frameborder="0" height="349" id="viddler-82454b74" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="//www.viddler.com/embed/82454b74/?f=1&offset=0&autoplay=0&secret=108489197&disablebranding=0&view_secret=108489197" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="545"></iframe> </div>
