Protect your HTC Google Nexus One with Proporta

The HTC Google Nexus One is a beautiful thing, and deserves to be kept that way – and Proporta has it covered. The Aluminium Lined Leather Case is handcrafted from the finest quality leather, and is lined with a piece of lightweight, aircraft grade aluminium to protect against crushing, shocks and impact damage. A stylish pinstripe lining adds a touch of class, and clever cut outs mean that you can use the device without ever having to take it out of its case. Throw in the Advanced Screen Protector, the easy to apply, ultra high clarity plastic screen cover, and you have a recipe for perfect Proporta protection.

And if that doesn’t quite do it for you, then Proporta also has a couple of new products available on pre-interest. The Mizu Shell is a super tough silicone case that fits your HTC Google Nexus One like a glove and offers robust protection against impact damage, scratching and knocks. Available in a variety of colours, it’s as stylish as it is strong, and gives you the chance to look after your HTC Google Nexus One without spoiling its beautiful looks. The Impact Protective Crystal Back Shell, meanwhile, offers unbeatable protection against all forms of damage, and is custom made to the exact specifications of the device to ensure a perfect fit.

So whatever you’re looking for, Proporta has solutions that are stylish and clever – much like the HTC Google Nexus One itself.

I just read news, or rather rumors from DailyTech that Walmart will be selling the 4GB version of the ever popular iPhone. If the rumor is infact real, then its no brainer about seeing more people with iPhones. Hack, even I am tempted to get one myself now. I was tempted to get the 8GB version from Rogers AT&T when I saw the 8GB version for $199 with 3 year contract. For $99 you get a 4GB version, size doesn’t really matter to me here really. And I think 4GB is more than enough for me anyway. iPhone is more of a cool gadget to have and chances are I won’t be using it for heavy gaming, as a multimedia player, checking emails or surf the web even though it is capable of doing so. Most likely just like any other cell phones.

And there is this data plan that I have to worry about because as I said it comes with a 3 year turn, that’s the price to pay when you can get an iPhone for $199. The minimum cost for monthly cost is $35 (Voice Plan) + $25 (Data Plan) which equates to $60 + all that tax and other lame charges. Which is probably going to end up being 2-3 times more than what I am paying now.

Either way definitely a great move by Apple if in deed the rumor comes true and great news for those that crave for an iPhone but cannot justify buying the 8/16GB versions or without contract.

[update] Looks like the rumor will remain just a rumor. According to WIRED Appl WIll start selling iPhones through Walmart but not the $99 version like in the rumor. But will be selling the same 8GB and 16GB ones that we are seeing now.

Oh well, it doesn’t hurt to dream right?
