Oh Apple, how can I ever quit you? As much as I love my Apple, I can get a little frustrated when it releases a great product, then comes out with an even better one just a few months later. How can I ever keep up?!
Hard Candy Outs the Next iPod Touch, Coming With Camera
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.
Monochrome Sliders Take Your iPhone 4 Into Overdrive
I'm already a big fan of the Incase Snap Case for the iPhone 4, so of course I'm drooling over the new sliders that just hit the online store.

Plus, each case comes with a stand so you can easily watch shows, view pics, or use your phone as an alarm.
