Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com) has announced
the availability of the first of their spring lineup of cases for
iPod and iPhone. These new additions to the iClear and Elan Form
families include: the iClear Sketch for the iPod nano fourth gen
(US$24.99); the Elan Form Graphite for iPhone 3G and iPod touch
second gen ($34.99); and the Elan Form with Sky Blue Trim for the
second gen iPod touch ($29.99).

iClear is Griffin's transparent polycarbonate case and is available
in two new designs: iClear Sketch Baroque (a modern floral motif),
and iClear Sketch 8-Bit (inspired by 8-bit game graphics). The
enclosed iPod nano shows through the decorative translucent pattern.
The iClear Sketch is all-over protection for iPod with complete
access to controls, dock connector and headphone jack.

The Elan Form Graphite is a hard-shell case that fits snugly around
the second generation iPod touch or iPhone 3G, and introduces a
patterned synthetic outer layer. The two-layer design is impact
resistant when needed while maintaining all the grip and comfort of a
soft case, according to the folks at Griffin. Elan Form features
Griffin's EasyDock design, allowing docking without removing the iPod
from the case. A screen protector is included.

This Spring, Elan Form is available with stylish sky blue trim for
the second generation iPod touch. This hard-shell, form-fitting
leather case comes in a slim, no-clip design. It bonds top-grain
leather to durable polycarbonate, encasing the user's iPod touch in
two layers of protection. Elan Form also features the EasyDock design
and a screen protector.
