AccessoryGeeks.com sent us over one of their awesome Premium Glow-in-the-Dark iPhone Cases and over the last few hours we’ve been playing around with it, giving the case a little run for its money. First off, the mere thought of having a glow-in-the-dark iPhone is insanely awesome. Glow-in-the-dark capability is just one of those features the Apple should have included from the get-go. I mean, come on Mr. Ives, don’t you know what geeks like? Check out our review after the jump.

I’ve had chess sets destroyed, maliciously sacked by an epic battle rudely interrupting a game in mid-turn. I swore that it will NEVER happen again. I refuse to lose a game in progress just because I’m on a crusade for religious freedom.

This Chainmail Chess Set is made of the same stuff I use to protect myself from sword wounds while looking damn cool in the process. Chainmail chess adds an element of realism not included with other sets, produced using real .035″ wire chainmail. Game on, sucka.

In this cut-for-cut world, where every average gangster and granny is packing a blade, you’ve gotta defend your own. This Pocket Knife / Ruler combo gadget lets you not only do some serious stabbing, but lets you easily measure your stab wounds on the way to the hospital.

Doctors always love it when you come prepared.

When you’re going 140 MPH on a motorcycle, why would you even consider cheaping out on the best safety equipment available to man? Now peep this Dragon Titanium motorcycle helmet, designed by Italian Prime. It’s lightweight, yet strong as an ox. And the design? Totally killer. A classic look that will look great on any style of motorcycle. It even prevents allergies. Can you say your current helmet does that? Didn’t think so. No price has been set but be prepared to shell out a Ducati’s worth of cash.

Here in New York City, when it rains, it pours. The rain comes down, the wind howls at 50 MPH and everything seems to sit still in time as you fight the storm in an effort to get home. If you’re using a cheap store-bought umbrella, chances are it broke 10 minutes ago. The SENZ Storm Umbrella fixes that. Its angular design lets it withstand winds up to 70 MPH and it can even take a beating from hailstorms. At $83, it may seem like an expensive purchase, but look at it as more of a preventive instrument.

Stop making out with that pig for a second and thing about the risks of swine influenza. There are people dropping dead all around us (mostly Mexicans, thank god) and it seems like there is nothing we can do about it.

We here at Gearfuse like to mix a little humor in with our pandemics. That’s why we’ll be wearing these awesome Pig Snout Face Masks once the germ is airborne in our area. If we’re going to die, we’re going to die laughing. More snout lovin’ after the jump.

Alright chief. We have five minutes and I mean exactly five minutes to get these six hard boiled eggs to Mayor Bloomberg. You can’t lose them and if they fall on the ground, we’re finished I tell ya. The man needs his breakfast. Here, use my special egg suitcase for the task. It’ll hold all six of Bloomy’s eggs in one basket so to speak. Great joke, right? Wrong! Now get going officer. The fate of New York City rests in your hands. But before you go, let me ask you something:

Which came first? The chicken or the egg suitcase?

Master Lock claims that 4-percent of all robberies are due to iPod thefts, so why not slap a bike lock on it? You just spent your entire month’s allowance on that brand new iPod Touch. Now, you’re looking for a lock so you can hang it up on any street post to force the general public into listening to whatever it is you listen to nowadays.

You’ll be dismayed to know that Master Lock’s iCage, the metal case that secures your iPod to a fixed object, is only designed for the 4GB and 8GB iPod Nano at $14.99 and iPod Classic models at $19.99 per lock. The latest Apple gear won’t fit into this. What a bummer.

I’ve got a bone to pick with you fuckers at Fingertongs. Why aren’t you running a more aggressive advertising campaign? I could have really used a pair during the Summer of 2006 when I burnt my left hand grabbing a hamburger off the grill. Sure, I was seven beers deep but how is that my fault? I needed your gloves that can take up to 500°F and reduce splatter. Oooh! That’s right! I spent all my money on beer, so can you hook it up? No? But I don’t have the $18 you require for this “purchase” you speak of. Fuck it. I’m just going to go grab a hot dog off the grill.

No longer will your guitar have to suffer an early demise at the hands of a clumsy stage crew member tripping over your amp cords. Coming in September, Belkin is offering a new power connector for your guitar and amp that borrows the magnetic damage protection of Apple’s MagSafe adapter for your electric guitar.

It works with standard quarter-inch plugs and promises no audio quality issues. So it’s a safe bet that rocking hard won’t have you flinging your guitar from your hand because you tried to dance around your wires while playing. For $20, the worse that’s going to happen if someone does trip over your chords is the disconnection between your guitar and your amp, break-free. This will bring great relief to the audience, who thought that your music sounded nothing short of a guitar being thrown on the sidewalk and stepped upon in repetition.
