The Griffin California Roll ($19.95) is supposed to make carrying around all of your iPhone “goodies” quick and easy. Similar to the cop-style holster for the iPhone reviewed recently, this “innovative and sleek design” doesn’t seem to make sense for an iPhone.
Sure, travelling with an iPod may require packing some extra things and rolling them up into a neat little pouch. However, the people at Griffin must be missing something about they way an iPhone works—it’s a phone!
I can just see people carrying these around and then needing to go through a long, drawn-out process of opening the pouch and pulling out their phone just in time to miss the call. Most people I see out in public with their iPhones rarely put it down or stop looking at it, so I figure this particular item isn’t one of the company’s top sellers.
Another funny thing is that this looks oddly familiar—possibly an iPod travel case simply marketed for a new product. The folks at Griffin do make some decent accessories for portable devices; this is just not one of them.
