Briefly: review; new display fonts

In brief: MacNN has reviewed the SportWrap iPod case from Xtreme Accessories, Font Bros has released two new display fonts, and FileMaker today launched its FileMaker Technical Network service for customer database software enthusiasts as well as developers. The SportWrap from Xtreme Accessories ($30, shown at right), a simple iPod case made from black moisture-resistant neoprene. The SportWrap secures three sides of the iPod with sewn-in Velcro, allowing users to insert the iPod into a pocket-type enclosure that is covered on the front with a piece of plastic. iPods are guarded from scratching, and enable users to access the click-wheel through the clear cover.

New fonts, FileMaker Technical Network

FileMaker today launched a new service for FileMaker database software enthusiasts and developers dubbed FileMaker Technical Network; The service includes exclusive access to technical information, software, and other developers for an annual fee of $100.... Font Bros has released two new display fonts created by Mark Simonson titled "Kinescope" and "Snicker;" Both fonts are inspired by hand-lettered titles in the old Fleischer Brothers animated Superman cartoons from the 1940s.
