iPhone 4 Case And IR Remote

Mashed Pixel's Surc iPhone 4 case is finally ready take on the challenge of making Apple's slab a universal remote now that it's on sale for a mere $74.95. The built in MicroUSB hookup and included cable means it can stay on even while charging before jumping into action when the companion app is opened on the phone. It can be controlled via buttons, gestures or motion control, with plenty of programmability built in.

The only downside we can find is that this is definitely a goner whenever you upgrade to Steve's next iThing, and it means leaving the sweet, potentially reception-improving case you already picked out behind.

  2. I thought the era of the iPhone was coming to a close, but with tech like this it's looking more like the iPhone may not be quite finished yet.

  3. Oh man, how I wish my place was set to remote control. How almost unnecessary, yet completely rad if you had the money.
