Here’s a little something for smokers who love their gadgets. If you have a spare iPod laying around, you too can be very James Bond like and turn it into a cigarette case.
Basically, just remove the guts and replace said guts with butts. Makes a great conversation piece and your be the life of any party. It can be a secret compartment for anything small, not just cigs. This person came up with the idea when their iPod had an encounter with the pavement and died.

With the holidays bearing down upon us, it’s only a matter of time before your great aunt Mildred shows up wearing one of her infamous sequined reindeer sweaters. Why should she have all the fun dressing up for the holidays? Now your iPhone can join in the festivities too.
These shiny new Noel cases from More give your iPhone (3G only) the shiny, metallic look of Christmas ornaments. Available in blue and ruby jeweltones as well as gold and shiny aluminum, these form-fitting cases are sure to draw attention the next time you go to answer your phone.
The unibody shell design has precise cutouts that allow you to use all controls and inputs without removing the case. And so the face of your iPhone doesn’t feel left out, each case comes with a bonus mirrored screen protector which makes the front of your iPhone just as shiny as the back.
Keep in mind that these cases are super smooth, so if you’re looking for an extra grip on your iPhone, this isn’t the case for you. They’re available now from More Thing for $29.90 USD each.

There are plenty of replacement cases out there for the Nintendo DS Lite, but this one has a nifty trick up its sleeve.
The new XCM Hyper Gear case for the DS Lite not only gives your handheld a new look, it turbocharges your games. See that little switch that says “N”, “1.4X” and “1.7X” in the bottom right corner? Just flip it, and your DS Lite will run at 140% or 170% of its normal speed. Presumably, it’s safe to overclock your DS Lite, but it’ll probably end up draining your battery like mad.
Now keep in mind that overclocking a handheld like the DS Lite actually speeds up your games, graphics and audio. To give you an idea of what that might look and sound like, check out this video of another speed-hacked DS Lite:

XCM expects to release the Hyper Gear case in the next few weeks, and you’ll be able to find it at online modding retailers including Extreme Mods and Total Console.

The guys over at XCM are at it once more with another cool mod you can buy to make your Xbox 360 just that much better.
The new XCM Crystal Controller Kit not only redresses your 360 controller in a spiffy clear skin, but it also adds a brand new oversize D-pad that’s designed to prevent you from mistakenly pressing it in the wrong direction.
I can speak from experience when I say there’s nothing worse than accidentally selecting that plasma rifle when you meant to select the rocket launcher.
Of course, the best part of the Crystal Controller is that it comes pre-wired with a gorgeous array of nine colorful LEDs which illuminate the A/B/X/Y, back, start, dashboard and shoulder buttons.
You can get your grubby little paws on the complete Crystal Controller kit over on RenChi for $29.90.

Chinese blog MacX has some interesting looking pics that they are alleging is the MacBook Pro casing. I guess nobody is going to know for sure until the MacBook 2008 event, but they appear to be the real deal and it fits with previous leaked images that have made their way around the web. The images are clear and don’t appear Photoshop-ish.

Etsy seller NES Box didn’t like the fugly exterior of their external hard drive, and so did something about it. That something was to drop it in an old NES cartridge case. The cartridge was just the right size, allowing the drive to fit in perfectly.
It’s powered by USB, so you won’t need any external juice. Created by them, it’s a one of a kind item.(Until someone else makes one) So it will cost you $180 if you want one. The only problem with putting things in old NES cases is that it might get lost among your other cartridges if you aren’t careful. Or your friend might borrow it instead of an actual game.

Have an iPhone or iPhone 3G and you’re looking for ways to keep its battery charged without damaging the planet? The solution might be this new solar power leather case that should keep any of the iPhone’s editions alive with just sunbeams.
Sold for $48 through Brando, the leather case includes a 1500 mAh Li-Po battery that can be charged under the sunlight and then used to give your iPhone some extra power after its own battery is depleted. The case’s Li-Po battery can also be charged by AC-DC power. That’s for the days when the sun’s busy fighting clouds and can’t help you in your green endeavors.
The solar case measures 125 x 64 x 25 millimeters, so your slim iPhone will become a fatty when housed in it. Also, the case will add 100 grams to the already existing ~130 ones of the smartphone. But if you want to save the world and use as little energy as possible, I guess it’s worth it.
