Those looking to pamper their iPad should surf on over to Burberry’s UK site.  The company recently hopped on the iPad bandwagon with the London Leather iPad Cover, a $440 case that’s made of 100% calf leather.  The case works as either a case or a stand, and provides inner pockets to hold documents.  And of course, the case feature’s Burberry’s logo and is made in Italy.

Café Press is well known for its customizable goods.  The company will put your images on a wide range of products, from t-shirts to coffee mugs, and now iPhone 4 cases.  Today the company announced an iPhone case personalization service that combines Café Press’ easy to use online design services with two iPhone 4 case designs.

Using the service is simple – just pick your case, upload an image, finalize your design and you’ll have your personalized iPhone 4 case in 1 to 2 weeks.  Keep in mind you can’t use any unauthorized images or logos, and nothing that promotes something illegal or hateful.

Café Press currently offers personalization services for the case above, which looks very similar to the ifrogz Luxe Original case that we reviewed back in July.  The company will soon offer a second clear case for the iPhone 4, below.

We’re fans of Café Press’ t-shirt personalization services and can’t wait to get our own personalized iPhone 4 case.  Now we just need to think of a design…

We’ve all taken iPhone self portraits…you know, the ones where you hold the iPhone as far from your face as you can while also trying to push the shutter button.  And after all that work how many self portraits actually come out looking decent?

XShot wants to make life easier for iPhone photographers with their XShot iPhone 4 Case with Detachable Tripod Adapter.  This innovative case features a detachable tripod adapter, below, that quickly attaches to the lower left side or bottom of the case.  Once installed, you can attached the XShot iPhone 4 case to the included mini tripod, above left.  XShot also offers long-armed monopods for areas where a tripod won’t work, above right.

When not in use, the small adapter can be stowed away, while the XShot iPhone 4 case’s hard plastic exterior provides protection from scratches, scrapes and bumps.

You can preorder the XShot iPhone 4 case here for $25.  This package includes the case, tripod mount, and mini tripod.  XShot will begin shipping at the end of November.

Need a rugged case for your iPhone 4 that won’t add too much bulk to the device?  Ballistic’s SG case seems like a good option.  The case offers three layers of protection – a soft TPU outer layer, a hard polycarbonate middle layer, and a silicone inner layer.  Additionally, the case’s corners are reinforced with shock absorbers to protect your phone from falls.

We’ll try to get one of these units in for a review soon.  Until then, you can surf on over to Ballistic’s site to read more.

Walking around all day with a Bluetooth headset in your ear isn’t exactly in vogue.  But where do you stash your fragile ear piece when it’s not in use?

Check out ID8-Mobile’s MoGo Talk XD case for the Apple iPhone 4.  The case’s polycarbonate shell protects your iPhone 4, while providing a discreet storage compartment for a MoGo Talk Bluetooth headset.

When not in use, the headset folds into a slim form factor that can be easily stowed in the back of the MoGo Talk XD case.  To use the headset, just pop it out of the case, fold out the ear piece, and you’re ready to talk.

The MoGo Talk XD case costs $100, and is available now directly from ID8.

If you have four grand to spend and you’re into alligator skin, Domenico Vacca has a case for you.  The company’s hand-made alligator skin case for the Apple iPad costs $3.900, and is available in 25 different colors.

Surprisingly, the first run of these cases have already sold out, but Domenico Vacca is working on its next batch of cases now, so get your orders in soon.

We’re not sure how much sense it makes to protect a $500 iPad with a $3,900 case – at that price we could just let our iPad go commando and buy a new one when it breaks.

The Pogo Sketch stylus is a valuable accessory for the iPad, especially if you use the device to draw, paint or take handwritten notes.  I’ve gone through several styluses over the past few months, mostly because…well…on most iPad case’s there’s no place to store a stylus.

Ten One Design has solution for you stylus users out there with their Particle iPad case.  The case protects the sides and back of the iPad with rubberized bumpers, but also provides storage for a Pogo Sketch stylus.  The good folks at Ten One Design will even include a free Pogo Sketch stylus when you purchase the case.  The stylus snaps into the right side of the case for quick access, above.

You can purchase the Particle case directly from Ten One Design for $35.
