Doing some last minute holiday shopping? Here's a suggestion. Earlier today I received an email from Jeremy at LiveDigitally.com about my blog and suggesting I take a look at the Slappa CD/DVD case review they just posted. Remember those Samsonite commercials where the gorilla beat the crud out of a suitcase? Well, these guys put this CD/DVD case to the test, including dousing the case in lighter fluid and torching it. Given a few weeks back a house in our neighborhood community burned down, this seemed more plausable to me (than say, sitting on it on a couch). You'll have to read the rest of the review to see the state of the CDs.
Now, what I really want to see is them start torching the add-on cases you see for protecting portable music players (with the players in them) to see which ones survive. Or how about crash-testing a BMW to see if your iPod really skips? It's a slippery slope. ;)
