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. Starting with an item as small as a pencil - the Capper Stylus, shaped like a rocket here in the first images we've got, transforms a standard pencil into a tablet-friendly stylus - how about that? Then there's a set of Kazoo iOS cases (which you see in monkey form here for the iPhone) and frog-themed headphones - needless to say, we'll be getting really cute with Griffin this year.

iPhone 5S tipped with iPod colors and larger display
It would appear that Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White has some rather colorful ideas about what the next-generation iPhone will be appearing inside 2013.
