Griffin Centerstage

As the iPod gains more and more features, the idea of what an iPod case can do should change as well. Griffin has realized this with the Centerstage ($25). While allowing access to all the 'pod's ports and switches, the case also offers top-notch protection. The biggest feature in our eyes, however, is the anodized aluminum cover that flips underneath to form a stand, letting you watch your TV shows, short films, and movies while leaving your hands free to do more important things, like motion to the stewardess that you need another mid-flight drink. Available in black, pink, blue, and silver, we love the white iPod-blue case combo, but our black iPods dictate that we roll with the black case for now. [via]
