Wow, is it just me or does this $129 iPad Handle with Love ‘case’ look like a glorified fabric covered box? It appears to be a presentation box for a bible, wedding album or something similar.

But now they are offering an updated OS and a variety of handsets that could put them back on the map. One such device is the LG Optimus 7 from LG Electronics. More info on this phone after the jump.
