So you want to take your iPhone on the go without having to worry about damaging it? How about your iPod? iPod Touch can not work with most top GPS applications without a GPS chip. If you plan to use your iPod Touch as your navigation device or just want to protect your device against major accidents, Magellan Toughcase has you covered. It is a hybrid accessory that can act as a battery extender, a rugged case, and a GPS booster for your iPhone.

Toughcase is rugged and waterproof. You can take it with under water to 1M without your phone being compromised. Most likely, you want to use this case to protect your device next to a beach or under bad weather conditions. It also has a 1840 mAh battery that will double your battery life and gives you the chance to use your phone for longer on the road.

Last but not the least, this case has an integrated SiRFstarIII GPS chipset that boosts your iPhone’s GPS functionality and adds GPS feature to iPod Touch. So you can use your iPod Touch with those local and GPS apps to find your way around.

The case may not be cheap, but that’s understandable considering all the feature that it offers. It adds to your iPhone’s battery life and protects it against major damage when you are spending time with your phone outdoors. Great pickup if you can afford it.

So you want to completely transform your iPhone into a killer navigation device. Magellan is a popular brand in the standalone GPS market that has made its move in the iPhone market by introducing a killer iPhone app and a kit to go with it. Magellan Roadmate 2010 is a powerful GPS application that transforms your iPhone or iPod Touch into a Magellan GPS. It comes with the very same interface and provides you with intelligent directions at all times. WIth the help of Magellan’s Car mount, you can not only boost your iPhone’s GPS performance but get GPS directions on your iPod as well.

This mount not only keeps your iPhone or iPod Touch charged on the road, it also boosts the performance of your GPS on your iPhone. It also adds GPS functionality to your iPod Touch. But that’s not all. It’s a speakerphone that lets you make hands free calls on the go. The speaker is noise cancelling, enabling you to get clear directions from your iPhone in your car.

What I love about this kit is the fact that it works with any other GPS app available in iTunes. So you are not just limited to what Magellan has to offer, even though Magellan’s GPS app is pretty solid. The kit is very flexible too and is a very solid car mount as long as you are not too rough with it. All in all, a solid choice for iPhone and iPod Touch owners even though it’s a bit pricey.
