Worried About Cell Phone Radiation? Pong Has a Solution

The other night my husband came home with a surprise gift for me.

The other night my husband came home with a surprise gift for me. No, it wasn't flowers, or chocolate, or tickets to a show. It was a new cell phone case, and I thought, "Gee, thanks honey. How romantic." Then he explained that it wasn't just an ordinary case; it was proven to reduce cell phone radiation. He said, "I know you're on your phone a lot, and I want you to be safe." Kinda sweet, no?

The cell phone case by Pong ($60) is "the only case tested by FCC-certified laboratories to reduce cell phone radiation while maintaining full signal strength." The antenna on your cell phone emits radiation in order to send and receive signals. Unfortunately, your head is exposed to that radiation as well. Pong fixes the problem by redirecting the energy up through its patented laddered chimney and away from your head. So it protects your body as well as your phone.

The flexible silicone case comes in bright green and black. Not only do I feel better using it, but it feels good in my hand. The surface is slip-resistant so you're less likely to drop it on the ground (although I know that never happens). Tell me, would you spend $60 on a healthier cell phone case?

Pong Clock: Love It or Leave It?

Pong was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day because it was so easy to play and so thrilling to win.

Pong was one of my favorite arcade games back in the day because it was so easy to play and so thrilling to win. Now you can sit back and watch an exciting game while the time ticks on by with this Pong Clock. Not as fun as playing yourself, there's two computer clocks duking it out every minute of every day.

Seems like an essential for your game room out, but surely is at the top of every geeks want-but-can't-have list — these babies were a limited edition and are already sold out. Bummer.
