Buy an iPhone Case, Help a Vet

Last night, as I made my way down the aisles at the Pepcom technology showcase in New York City, Speck’s new Patriotic Fitted Case for iPhone 4 caught my eye. Just in time for the Fourth of July, the case costs $29.95 and comes in two patterns: Twilight’s Gleaming Stars and Star Spangled Stripes.

The hard-shell case fits both Verizon and AT&T iPhone models and gives you access to all buttons, controls, sensors and connections. The best part: Speck will donate $15 from every case sold to the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping injured service members. 

A New Way to Manage iPad Files

For business users, one big downside to the iPad is its lack of a decent file management system. GroupLogic hopes to solve that problem with new software called mobilEcho.

The software, which recently emerged from beta testing, lets you access files on a businesses server from your iPad and store them locally on the device. You can search for files by name or contents and browse and preview files. You can also copy or move files between a server and iPad or to another server.

The app gives employers IT admin control over employee iPads, including the ability to grant remote access to employees and lock down or wipe critical files off an iPad if it’s lost or stolen. Cost: After a 21-day free trial, pricing starts at $795 for a three-client server
