The iPhone Hybrid USB case from ego & company Inc. is one of the more unique and useful iPhone cases on the market because it includes a USB memory stick that stores in a slot on the back of the case. The Hybrid case is available in Blue (4GB), Pink (4GB), Yellow (8GB), Light Green (8GB), Red (16GB) and Black (16GB). Buyers have 42 different possible color combinations as they can mix & match the colors of the case and USB drive or they can go with one solid color. The 4GB, 8GB and 16GB cases are available now for $34.95, $39.95 and $49.95, respectively, at www.egoncompany.com.

Too bad it will be obsolete when the iPhone 5 comes out and they switch the universal dock from 30 pin to 19 pin. Along with a lot of the old accessories.

There’s so much more extra space on the back! Wish they made one with 6 slots!

@Jackie You need 6 flash drives? ;)

Not only that, but they would have to be the priporitary (sp) versions to form fit into it :)

@James : the case seems to only provide a place to store a USB drive, and does not actually mount it. Hence the upcoming iPhone connector revision is irrelevant. But that point is moot anyway, since the iPhone 5 is expected to have a larger form factor, making this case incompatible size-wise.

Their website also mentions a similar case for the Galaxy S3.
