If the rumors are true, Apple may be getting ready to announce the iPhone 5 next week, rendering your iPhone 4/4S obsolete. But there is a new hope, young Padawan. Accessory maker PowerA will soon release a line of officially licensed Star Wars cases for your phone.

There will be four Collector Cases designed after Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Chewbacca. Yep, the Chewie case has fur on it. There are also two less interesting Saga Cases featuring art from the Star Wars movie posters.

It's a shame they forgot to make one of Han Solo in Carbonite. The Collector and Sage Cases will be available later this year for $40 (USD) and $30 respectively.

Some people love their shoelaces, while others despise them. They're great if you have the time to painstakingly tie them into a neat bow and re-tie them in the same, careful manner every time they come undone. And if you're the clumsy type, then you'll have to be prepared to do the latter more times than normal.
But your shoelace-dependent footwear would be rendered useless without the laces itself – until Hickies came along.

They're a project by Mariquel and Gaston, who both hail from Brooklyn, New York. Basically, they're elastic bands that hook into your shoes' lace holes, replacing shoelaces altogether. That means no more shoelaces, no more unsightly bows, and no more tripping over untied laces.

They also add to the whole look of your shoes as well, since it's available in a wide array of colors. Interested? Then you'd better hurry because you've got just a few days to make a pledge on Kickstarter to support the project and get some Hickies for your shoes.
