\"\"Like many people, I\u2019ve had the dream of being able to drink beer at work. So when the \u201cBe A HeadCase\u201d Bottle\/Can Opener Case for iPhone<\/strong> came across my desk to look at, it was just the excuse I was looking for; after all, I can\u2019t really write about a product without testing it first…<\/p>\n

Well, ten beers in and it\u2019s quite obvious that ham sandwich unicorn, gerbera daisy David Hassellhoff… Oooh… a kitty!<\/em><\/p>\n

Just kidding…<\/p>\n

The \u201cBe a HeadCase\u201d Bottle\/Can Opener Case for iPhone is just that – a case for your iPhone that just so happens to have a stainless steel bottle opener and tab puller built into the back of it. It\u2019s a pretty simple concept, really.<\/p>\n

The case itself is your standard two-piece slide-in case. Take off the bottom piece, slide your iPhone in, replace the bottom piece, and you\u2019re good to go. It has a nice rubberized outer surface, which helps keep your grip and offers at least a little protection in case of splashback. It also has the obligatory cutout for your dock connector and seems to be an all-around decent enough case for your iPhone.<\/p>\n

What sets this apart from other cases, however, is the built-in bottle opener. About halfway up the back side is a small extruded area that holds the stainless steel bottle opener. It\u2019s pretty handy if you happen to have a bottle of beer you want to drink but left your bottle opener elsewhere; it\u2019s a tragedy that has happened to me a number of times.<\/p>\n

Also included is a free iOS application that turns this already handy bottle opener into one of those novelty openers that play a sound when you open a bottle, using the iPhone\u2019s accelerometer to sense when you\u2019re moving the phone in an \u201copening\u201d motion. There\u2019s also a counter, so you can tell just how many beers you\u2019ve opened.<\/p>\n

We played with the software a little bit and at first we found it was prone to crashing\u2014 until we discovered we were \u201cusing it wrong.<\/a>\u201d Apparently, opening (or pretending to open) too many bottles too fast is what causes the crash. Opening at a more “normal” rate offered no problems, so I guess that we won\u2019t be going for any speed records<\/a> with the app on.<\/p>\n

The app is merely a complimentary aspect to the case itself, which is the important part. After all, the app isn\u2019t what protects the iPhone or opens the beer; the case does. And that\u2019s<\/em> why we like it.<\/p>\n

We like it so <\/em>much, in fact, that we\u2019re adding a special deal on this case for all our Blog readers<\/a>, so you have plenty of time to order one before Father’s Day (or Mother’s Day for that matter).<\/p>\n

However, I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t mention that the truly <\/em>great deals and specials can only be found in OWC Larry’s Hot Deals newsletter<\/strong>, which not only gets you some truly great exclusive deals, but puts you at the forefront of any OWC-wide specials coming up. And as anybody who\u2019s waited to get an Apple product on release day, the front of the line is the best place to be.<\/p>\n

Sure, we\u2019ve mentioned the newsletter before. We\u2019ll probably continue to mention it, too\u2014not so much out of self-promotion, but simply because it is <\/em>such a great source for deals and specials.<\/p>\n

Oh… did I mention it\u2019s free?<\/em><\/p>\n

So go ahead, sign up for OWC Larry\u2019s Hot Deals newsletter<\/a> and then kick back with a nice frosty brew while reading the latest releases.<\/p>\n

And if you have the \u201cBe A HeadCase\u201d Bottle\/Can Opener Case on your iPhone, you can do all of that without getting out of your chair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
