U Grok It is a smartphone-based system that allows you to find missing items, that have been tagged with radio-frequency labels

The phone displays the location of the sought items, or can sound an alarm if one of them gets too far away. Now, it looks like BiKN might have some competition, in the form of the similar-but-different U Grok It.

Now, it's introducing an all-black "military" version - available for order worldwide in a few days. These covers don't just look good, either.

Sandberg's BatteryCase is a case for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S packs impressive specs into a slim package
Sandberg's BatteryCase is the latest in a long line of iPhone battery cases that claim to double the life of an iPhone - in this case the iPhone 4, though as you'd expect the case is also compatible with the iPhone 4S. In case you're not familiar with how these things work, there's no mystery: it's simply an iPhone case with an integrated battery. But how does it stack up against two of the market leaders, Mophie's juice pack and juice pack plus?
