PowerA just announced their latest iPhone accessory, the iPhone Universal Remote Case.  Much like the Red Eye and L5 you can control your IR based products just using the iPhone, that is assuming you’ve also downloaded the accompanying PowerA app.  What makes it different from the competition is the form factor, a case that can always be attached to the phone no matter the scenario.  The L5 on the other hand is rather impractical because it’s a small dongle that attached to the iPhone’s 30 pin connector and juts out, making it less than pocket friendly.  The Red Eye on the other hand is stricken to one room, unless of course you buy additional boxes.  But there is one downside to the PowerA iPhone Universal Remote Control; it’s a learning remote only, which means you’ll have to train or teach it each of your remote’s commands.  It should be available starting today at Apple’s website for $60, which ain’t half bad.
