Review: Griffin Technology Woogie 2 for iPod touch and iPhone
December 4, 2011 by Daynah · Leave a Comment
Does your child love his/her iPod Touch? Make them love it even more with a Woogie case! What’s a Woogie you may ask? It’s a soft and huggable case for your child’s iPod Touch. This squeezable and lovable toy not only protects the device, but also has a clear plastic window screen in front for full access to games and apps.
To use, simply slip the iPod Touch (or iPhone) into the front see-through pocket. On top are two strong Velcro clasps that the device securely in the front window. Touch the plastic screen to use your child’s favorite apps. No assembly required.
These adorable Woggies have five feet that can be use as a stand for your child’s iPod Touch. There’s a clear plastic window in front that both protects and allows your child to use the multi-touch display. Imagine them watching their favorite movies, playing games, or reading their educational books on it. It’s simply adorable, unique, and makes the perfect child present for this holiday season. As advertised, it’s 50% fuzzy friend, 50% protective case, and 100% fun.
The Woogie is “surface washable,” meaning it can’t be washed in the washing machine, but can get slightly damp. To clean, gently apply upholstery cleaner or detergent diluted in water to fabric with a sponge. Just make sure not to saturate the Woogie so the liquid doesn’t soak into the stuffing.
This fuzzy and huggable case is recommended for children 3 years and older and comes in two colors – bright pink with light pink highlights and blue with green highlights. It’s available exclusively online at GriffinTechnology.com for $19.99.
Note: The Original Woogie is also available for purchase, on sale now for $17.99. It only comes in green, and has 6 legs (tuck in the bottom legs to be used as a stand). The original version also comes with built-in speakers (requires 2 AAA batteries which are included), hidden under one of the legs, secured with strong Velcro. It’s also available exclusively online at GriffinTechnology.com.
Both Woogie versions are compatible with all current iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

review: Griffin Outfit Shade
March 10, 2010 by Bill Palmer · Leave a Comment
Two pieces that have the structure of hard plastic, but look like rubber, slide together from top and bottom. The shiny metallic color that starts off at the top of the case fades through a gradient pattern to equally shiny black by the time you reach the case’s bottom. And that’s about it as far as the case’s description.
So what makes the case stand out, then? First off, it’s (very) easy to attach and remove (contrast that with Speck’s one-piece rubberized Candy Shell, a case I really like by the way, which is much more of a challenge to remove). I had some fear that it might be too easy to remove, but carrying it around in my pocket showed that the bottom piece isn’t prone to slipping off during use by accident. And by design or happy coincidence, the bottom piece can be left off to make it easier to slide your iPhone into a form-fitting dock or docking speaker system. And the fade pattern just looks really cool in person (at least the gray/black model they sent me does; I’m not sure if green fading into black would be quite as attractive).
So what not to like? Most cases with this kind of a price tag come bundled with screen film, and this one doesn’t. And on top is one big cut-out, where it could have been two smaller ones, exposing less of the surface. But if you can get past those imperfections, the Outfit Shade is a well designed case that looks really cool as well.
