English Retreads recently announced a new iPad sleeve for users looking for some eco-friendly, stylish protection for their electronic devices. The sleeve is made from recycled truck and tractor inner tubes, complete with reclaimed PET material lining.

“We recognize the opportunity to integrate fashion and environmental consciousness on behalf of the consumer's need for stylish and sophisticated accessories,” said Heather English, English Retread's founder and designer. “With the release of the iPad Sleeve we are excited to lead the market in innovative, repurposed material use, while simultaneously delivering on functionality with a fashion-forward style all our own.”

The water-resistant material protects the iPad from everyday falls, even if it happens to fall into a damp spot. The sleeve is available in five different colors, costs $49 and is compatible with all versions of the iPad.

In addition to iPad 2 accessories, English Retreads offers a variety of eco-friendly bags for laptops and spacious wallets. The $68 Wallet Lux has enough space for multiple credit cards and a coin holder to reduce the noise of jingling change, as well as larger pockets designed to hold dollar bills.

Users who don't like carrying around a phone charger, iPhone syncing cable and stand will soon be able to have all three of those iPhone accessories in one. [Fuse]Chicken, an offshoot of design studio Fawcett Design, recently launched its Kickstarter project to fund a product called Une Bobine, and has already reached more than five times the amount necessary to go through with the project.

The Une Bobine is a highly flexible coil iPhone stand. It can be manipulated into a variety of different positions and can even be wrapped around objects, allowing users to fully customize the stand based on need or preference. It also features USB connection, allowing for the gadget to be connected for charging and syncing the iPhone 4.

In its marketing campaign, [Fuse]Chicken made animated trailers about stick figures on a quest to find the perfect iPhone accessory. These trailers satirized popular movie genres and featured stick figures named Bob, Lucy and Ralph.

"We went through dozens of product name ideas before we settled on Une Bobine," [Fuse]Chicken wrote on Kickstarter. "It is French for 'a coil' and also has Bob's name in it, which made Bob happy."

The world of iPad and iPhone accessories is tough for the money- and space-efficient user. Normally, a user may have to carry individual enhancements for each accessory, but Octa has solved that problem with its Vacuum Dock + WhaleTail stand. It's designed for the iPad, but it also fits most tablets and e-readers

The rounded stand attaches to the back of the device, and the petite design makes it easy for users to pick up the iPad with the stand still attached. It weighs less than 6 ounces, making it a good option for portability, and, as the name might suggest, the base of the stand features a whale tail-shaped design.

The WhaleTail utilizes vacuum suction technology to adhere to the back of the iPad and other tablet devices. In addition to the whole stand being lightweight, the tail portion is highly flexible, which allows users to utilize horizontal and vertical viewing angles. At a cost of $49.95, the all-in-one accessory won't break the bank.

Moshi recently announced an enhancement to the company's iGlaze case  for the iPad and iPhone. The iGlaze with Versacover offers users a little artistic style, while protecting the iPad from the daily threat of bumps and scrapes.

Moshi's iGlaze is a protective case for the minimalist. It's clear, ultra thin and compatible with the Apple Smart Cover. It's compatible with the iPad, iPad 2 and iPad 3 and allows use of all the devices' functions. Moshi also offers models for the iPhone and MacBook Air.

The iGlaze with Versacover will completely surrounds the iPad, offering the functionality of a protective sleeve. The back features a foldable microfiber flap that can be manipulated into a pyramid-shaped stand. The new version of the iGlaze is expected to be available by the end of June.

Moshi's iPad 2 accessories aren't the only items with sleek and functional design. The Muse features a Terahedron microfiber inner lining that protects and cleans the MacBook. The SlipGrip design prevents the device from sliding out unexpectedly and the Muse's exterior has an extra pocket for storage.

Many users like to get data plans for their phones, but not too many have thought they might be getting data with their iPhone accessories. FreedomPop new sleeve for the iPhone 4/4S promises free, speedy mobile broadband for its users.

According to FreedomPop, users who pre-order the Freedom Sleeve will receive up to 1 GB broadband for free Wi-Fi for up to 8 devices. If that sounds too good to be true – well, ok, there might be a small catch to the monthly allotment of 1 GB. According to a TechCrunch article, users will start with 500 MB and will be able to earn more data capacity by connecting to other Freedom Sleeve users.

At a cost of $99, the Freedom Sleeve also functions as a battery-extender for the iPhone and features a built-in WiMax radio. It is a little bulky, so it may not be for the minimalist, but sacrifices must be made for inexpensive and fast mobile internet service.

LifeProof recently announced a new line of accessories for users who like to take their phones absolutely everywhere. The new line comes as part of the LifeProof In Motion series and includes new items designed for use with the LifeProof iPhone case.

The company's LifeProof protective iPhone case promises to guard against the dangers of everyday life. The case is dirt- and waterproof with an ultra-slim design for portability. LifeProof's new accessories enhance the existing portability to further distinguish it from other iPhone cases.

The LifeProof Armband is designed for fitness aficionados, and keeps the iPhone secure in its case while running and swimming.

The LifeProof Adapter Compatible with GoPro Mounts is something for iPhone photography fans. The adapter will allow users to attach the LifeProof case to GoPro helmet mounts, so they can make use of their phone's camera while biking.

For users who don't want to wear their phones on their sleeves, LifeProof is also launching a line of belt clips for the case.

LifeProof also has users without a GoPro mount covered. The company offers its LifeProof Bike and Bar Mount, which can attach to bicycles, motorcycles, jet skis and snowmobiles.

One of the big themes for iPhone cases these days is consolidation. There are wallet cases so users never have to leave without their ID and credit cards, there are portfolio cases so users can take their professional documents everywhere and now there's an iPhone case that functions as a credit card.

The Geode by iCache allows users to scan their debit or credit cards, and the card information is stored within the accessory. A programmable smart card can then be inserted into the bottom of the case and programmed into any of the stored cards.

The Geode also has users' worries about security covered. The sensitive credit card data is secured through a biometric reader that keeps a record of the user's fingerprints. The programmable card can't be used without the right set of fingerprints, so thieves will be out of luck with just the case.

The case is available in yellow or green, and it comes with its programmable card, USB cable and card reader. It also functions as a protective case for the iPhone. If the user's Geode is lost or stolen, iCache promises to overnight another model after verification of identity.

A new Kickstarter project promises to deliver a healthy dose of nostalgia to the world of iPad 2 cases. The Etcher transforms the iPad into a functional Etch A Sketch.

Designed with the red-lined rim and white knobs, the Etcher does more than just look like the old toy. The knobs can be turned to create lines on the iPad's screen, the same way a traditional Etch A Sketch would. The Etcher does have a bit of an upgrade over its predecessor, because images can be digitally stored, but the creators even designed the drawn lines to disappear when users vigorously shake the device.

The designers plan to make the Etcher's software open source and will publish the accessory's software development kit, so that games and other apps may be designed to utilize the Etcher's features.

Ari Krupnik, one of the designers, has a history of successful Kickstarter projects. The iPhly app allows the iPhone to take control of radio-controlled planes, helicopters and cars. The app uses motion control, allowing users to roll their iPhones to steer and tilt for vertical movement.

Us+U recently announced its Swivel Profolio Case for the Kindle Fire. In addition to featuring patent pending Swivel Technology, the case also benefits charity. Us+U said 3 percent of every purchase will go to an environmental or human advocacy group.

The interior of the case features suede microfiber lining to protect the Kindle's screen. The exterior is covered with animal-safe leather for style. The hinged back panel and swivel capability allow the case to be utilized as a multi-angle stand. The self-adjusting hand strap makes the Kindle easier to hold as it rotates in the multitude of available viewing angles. The Swivel Profolio Case costs $49.99 and features cutouts for the Kindle's volume buttons and charging port.

Us+U also has the iPad covered with a two lines of iPad 2 accessories. In addition to a Swivel Profolio model for the iPad 2 and 3, the company offers the sleek Simple Swivel, a case geared toward the minimalist.

If there's anything missing from the world of protective iPad 2 accessories, it's manila envelopes. For users who frequently brave dark alleys and ominous urban corners, the Stealth Tablet Envelope is designed to make people look away from the valuable gadget inside.

The Stealth Envelope transforms the iPad or other tablet device into a master of disguise. Using this protective sleeve doesn't absolutely prevent theft, but would-be criminals will need a second look to see past the old manila envelope-themed design.

Fortunately, the sleeve is a little more durable than an actual envelope. The interior features silk-like lining and padded foam to protect the iPad against everyday bumps and scrapes. As a bonus, the case is also tearproof and waterproof.

For users who would also like to keep their laptops safely tucked away from prying eyes, the Stealth Laptop Sleeve offers the same disguise ingenuity for laptops. The laptop sleeve is adjustable and designed to fit laptops 8 to 17 inches.
