Well if you are to believe this dramatic demo video, the G-Form Extreme Sleeve, made from durable foam, can protect your delicate glass iPad from the impact of a 12 pound bowling ball dropped from 3 feet onto the face of an iPad sitting on a concrete slab.

Pretty amazing, eh? So much for the hard case. The G-Form’s unique impact-resistant sleeve, made from PORON® XRD™ – originally designed for protecting athletes from sports injuries – is designed to be soft and flexible until hit, which turns them into shock absorbers, capable of absorbing up to 90% of the energy of an impact. Screw my iPad, can I wrap my car in this stuff?

You can pre-order the iPad Extreme Sleeve over at G-Form for $59.95 (USD).

This thing is rather ridiculous, especially the one for the Kinect, as it’s really just a plastic bowling ball with a wrist strap attached. At least the Wii version has controls built in, and the one for the PlayStation Move holds onto the controller.

Here’s a quick video clip I nabbed of the Kinect version in action.

Check out the incredible bowling skills of this CTA Digital employee as she knocks down a whopping one pin. At least she didn’t throw it through the screen.

Frankly, I don’t really get accessories like this. You can really only use them for a single game, and with the Kinect, you could just use an actual bowling ball if you wanted to be accurate. Just remember not to release it from your hand.

Whether you’re Jedi or Sith, there’s a ball for you. While I think it would be fun to show up to league with Darth Vader bowling bag, you might prefer the grimacing visage of Jedi Master Yoda.

Or maybe you can’t decide which side you’re on, and would rather go for the showdown between Anakin and Obi-Wan.

Brunswick makes these officially licensed Star Wars bowling balls under their Viz-a-Ball brand, which features limited edition graphics ranging from Scooby Doo to the Three Stooges to the Clone Troopers heading off into battle.

There are also balls featuring C-3PO, Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Leia and Amadala among others. Han Solo and Chewie fans are out of luck, though. Personally, I wish they did one where the whole ball was painted like the Death Star.

You can find the whole Viz-a-Ball series bowling balls (including the Star Wars ones) over on Amazon for $90 to $120 each.

Of course, if you were a REAL Jedi, you’d just use your Force Push to knock all the pins down with a wave of your hand.

Just try and lug one of these around the next time you need to store something on a flash drive. As a matter of fact, I’d think it would be impossible to use this without a USB cable. Thankfully, this one appears to be a one-off that won’t make it to market.
