This week the folks at Griffin are sure to bring on more than just a couple of their own accessories for devices of all kinds, but right at the start they've made it bright and colorful for the kids.

Ballistic Every1 case goes top-class for Galaxy S III, iPhone 5, and Lumia 920
If Ballistic cases are the gauge for how the industry is swinging, it's good news for Nokia and Microsoft's Windows Phone 8, because their newest and most hardcore unit is headed to all the heroes - including the Lumia 920. Included with the standard fare - that being the iPhone 5 first, then a Samsung device (the Galaxy S III here near the end of 2012), it's the Nokia Lumia 920 that's up for protection next. And this "Every1" case is a doozy, too.

Loop Mummy iPhone case review
Smartphone cases are a mixed bag nowadays — some are great, some are good, and some are just pretty awful. On top of the fact that cases are a hotly-debated item in the first place, it’s pretty difficult for case manufacturers to get the attention of smartphone users, and only a few have done it successfully.
