Your iPhone isn’t as chic and stylish as it was when you first got it. A few million phones later, the iPhone has become ordinary– and the time is now to embellish yours a bit while keeping it safe. Our friends at Expansys-USA reached out to GearCrave to give away five free iPhone 3G cases from Speck. These range from the sexy Black Tartan Plaid iPhone Case to the rugged iPhone 3G Pixel Skin. Five are available, ranging in price from $13.99 to $29.99 each. Good luck, GearCravers. Details after the jump!
This obsession with individual human flight should have reached a fever pitch a decade ago. As the year 2000 came and went, the promise of space-age technologies wasn’t kept by “the future”. As explained in the trailer above, author Mac Montandon obsessively dug into one specific technology of science fiction– the Jetpack. His book Jetpack Dreams is subtitled as “One man’s up and down (but mostly down) search for the greatest invention that never was.” As you can imagine from watching that trailer above, the book is riveting, funny and strangely informative. And thanks to Da Capo Press, we’ve got 3 autographed copies to give away to GearCrave readers. Find out how to win one of your own below…
At CES last January, Audio Technica revealed a pair of in-ear headphones with battery-powered, active noise-canceling technology. After hitting stores in August, the Audio Technica ATH-ANC3’s have become quite popular amongst those who, well, don’t want to hear a single sound other than their music. The ATH-ANC3’s feature “Quietpoint” technology that reduces external noise by 85%. While most in-ear headphones do a good job of killing outside noise by nature, these babies do double duty. Our friends at Audio Technica reached out to us a while back, and were patient with us while we launched the other sites in the uCrave.com network. Without further adieu, GearCrave is giving away five free pairs of Audio Technica ATH-ANC3’s. Want to win? Find out how below…

If you haven’t yet heard of Rough Guides, you’re not alone. Having long ago reached critical mass in the UK, Rough Guides began as travel guides that were targeted at the informed traveler, not to students or high brow culturalists. In the 80s, the BBC picked up Rough Guides to develop a TV show, providing no nonsense introductions to subjects which had been poorly represented in the past. Fast forward to present, Rough Guides have reached a wide range of topics– and a wider geographic audience. Rough Guides reached out to GearCrave to share with us a new guide they’re releasing throughout the world, one that our readership will find instantly relevant– the Rough Guide to Video Games.
Before you form an impression on just what the Rough Guide to Video Games is, its important to note that this isn’t some dated guide with cheat codes and strategies. It is a “travel guide” through this history of video games, an in-depth look at the stories, the systems and the people that have built gaming into what it is today. In short, its the ultimate coffee table book for the geek in your life… Want one for your own coffee table? Rough Guides has offered to give away five free copies of the book to GearCrave readers. As always, you can find out how after the jump…

Business and formalwear, from the suit to the tuxedo, have changed little over the years. We as men have little opportunities for expression with our suits– we pick a few nice suits, sportcoats and dress shirts and stick to them. If there is one accessory that does allow for expression, it is the necktie. There are neckties to fit the ocassion, to compliment your outfit and to match your date’s dress. The necktie is the one variable that give men a chance to experiment with color and style in business and formalwear. GearCrave’s new friends at Vittorio J know this, and have created a signature line of ties for men who treat this form of expression seriously.
Fortunately for us, the designer behind Vittorio J is also a GearCrave reader. Designer Jesse Chao reached out to GearCrave to offer a giveaway to GearCrave readers. If you, like us, could always use another necktie in our collection, continue reading to learn more about the line, where to buy and how you can win one of your very own…
