First Look at Belkin + Lego's New Buildable iPhone Cases

This Spring, Lego lovers will be able to build amazing Legoscapes — on the back of their phones.

This Spring, Lego lovers will be able to build amazing Legoscapes — on the back of their phones. Tech accessory maker Belkin recently announced a multiyear partnership with Lego, which includes a new collection of cases for iOS devices inspired by the iconic brick toy. The initial product line is designed for iPhone and iPod Touch, but Belkin hopes to expand their Lego series to other devices (perhaps Android and Windows 8 handsets?) as well.

The case collection isn't the only high-tech development for Lego this year. The company kept its grown-up geek fan base in good spirits by announcing the third-generation, mobile-focused EV3 robotics kit at CES in January.

The Belkin/LEGO line won't arrive for a couple of months, but here's a peek at what's to come.

Just in time for the Apple event tomorrow, Hard Candy announced that it is ready to cover your new "iTouch 4G" (the new iPod Touch?) with a new case called the Street Skin ($30).

The cases, which are made with a rubberized outer shell in three colors, come with an opening for a rear-facing camera. There are no details or specs about the fourth-generation iPod itself in Hard Candy's press release (like if there's an accompanying forward-facing camera as well), but it seems the company is pretty confident that the latest camera-enabled iPod Touch will make an appearance at tomorrow's press conference. The cases will be ready to ship on Sept. 15.
