I guess there really is an App for everything, want to get a smokin’ bod and a killer new hair color well there are two iPhone Apps that should help you out. ColorTry and WeightMirror will both help you see before and after shots of what you would look like either slimmer or with a different hair color. ColorTry is an easy enough app that allows you to take a picture of yourself and then alter the color of your hair with the color hair palate. In a quick second you’ll get to see if blonds really do have more fun.

WeightMirror is a simple App that again lets you take a picture of yourself at your current weight and then depending on how much you want to loose, your face will alter as well. Both applications have before and after views so even if you never go through with any of these changes, you can atleast say you tried.

Available in white, black, pink, blue, green or orange, Uniea’s Haptique for the new MacBook Aluminum, is a hardshell case made of ABS plastic with soft touch coating that has a textured feel. The case also sports an soft interior to protect the surface of your MacBook from scratches while also providing opening for access to all the ports and ventilation holes to keep your laptop running cool. The Haptique’s surface is also described as having a leather-like pattern.

 

Set-up:
Right out of the box, all you have to do is snap the top piece of the Haptique to the top of your MacBook and the bottom piece to the bottom of your MacBook. The bottom piece of Haptique sort of snaps on to the back of the MacBook where the Hinge is.

Design:
The Haptique fits snugly around the MacBook, so it’s a secure fit. Its port openings also align correctly with the ports on the MacBook. On contrast, we have seen some hardshell cases that don’t do such a good job of that. Additionally, The ventilation holes at the bottom of the Haptique help keep the laptop running cool. The MacBook overall doesn’t get too hot in general, but even when using it with the Haptique on, it’s been running cool. The case naturally ads a bit of thickness to the top and bottom of the case which should also works to protect the laptop from some minor drops.

Conclusion:
The Haptique claims to have a leather-like finish. Unfortunately I wasn’t very impressed with this aspect of the case. The surface is pretty soft, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say that it’s quite leather like.
Overall as a hard-shell case, the quality of the Haptique is solid and choosing one of the available colors will certainly add some punch to your MacBook while also adding an extra layer of protection for it. The Uniea Haptique retails for $49.95.

The Good:
Great color choices, nice sleek fit, provides good protection

The Bad:
Not all that leather-like

Computer Choppers, whom brought us the Polished Gold Macbook Pro and the 24Kt Gold iMac is about to set someone’s wallet back with the 24K Gold iPhone 3G. Still in production, they are about almost done with making as they claim, the first “iPhone 3G with 24Kt yellow gold housing & Bezel.” Pish Posh diamonds are so passe, this is what all the kids want – something that emulates a gold brick from Fort Knox. Computer Choppers was even blunt enough to say how the materials this time around on the iPhone 3G were less than stellar and made it tougher for them to plate the “poor” quality plastic Apple used. Testing is still being done for those who want engravings and other customizations before it is plated, as well as how reception will hold up with the coat of gold on it. No pricing is available and as with everything they sell you will have to e-mail them to find it out the cost. So stay tuned to Computer-Choppers if this is what you would have in mind for your little iPhone 3G.
