Ah, the Bluetooth headset. Often times, it’s the bane of any cell phone owner’s hands-free existence. You’re too cautious to stick it in your pocket because it’ll get caught up in your keys and covered in lint, so you forget to bring it with you. Or if you have it with you, it’s never charged because you always leave the proprietary cable at home.
Newton Peripherals, makers of the popular MoGo Mouse, have come up with a technologically-impressive and, perhaps more importantly, dead simple answer to the above problems. It’s a flat-folding Bluetooth headset that’s just five millimeters thick and rests in a tiny charging slot on the back of a super slim iPhone case. So your headset’s with you at all times and its charger is integrated right into your phone’s case, enabling you to split off your phone’s charging cord to power the micro-USB port that charges the headset.
Here’s the skinny on the MoGo Talk iPhone headset case:
MoGo Talk for iPhone is the first Bluetooth headset that can charge with your mobile phone and is capable of delivering superior audio quality in an ultra-thin (5mm) design. Mogo Talk’s folding earpiece lays completely flat, enabling it to store and charge on the back of a mobile phone or inside a laptop. The MoGo Talk earpiece is specifically designed to comfortably fit inside your ear, not around a clunky speaker like other Bluetooth headsets.
Talk time is good for up to four hours and standby time is good for up to a week.
The case is about to hit the market in small batches at $99 $129 sometime in July with widespread rollouts to carrier stores (AT&T) and Apple stores later in the year. But — BUT! — exclusive for CrunchGear readers, Newton Peripherals will be giving out 50 free MoGo Talk iPhone cases.

And stay tuned; this 5mm Bluetooth headset isn’t going to stop just with the iPhone. I’ve seen several additional implementations of it firsthand — there’s some other really cool stuff coming out shortly. I’ll keep you posted.
That is pretty sweet! I just threw my name in the hat for one!
Pretty sweet, now they just need to add a bottle opener and a corkscrew.
hey… I am sure that i will get one .
I tried to read the whiteboard in the background but the camera moved too much. Anything cool on there?
Heh heh. They had to erase some secret stuff before I started filming. Something about “Bigfoot” and “Worm holes = time travel” or something like that.
It looks like a good product. At least, it’s a damn good idea
Sweet, thanks.
I’m in for one of those!
I like peanuts
Interesting new product
i don’t think Im entered in this one…now I have 3 chances to win….I’m sooooo excited!
You did it again, Mogo!
Now, here’s a small firm that’s too ’smart’ to fail, leading the way with truly innovative solutions to age-old annoyances of mobile gadgeteers. Who’d have thunk?
Every Newton Peripherals product… from the Mogo Mouse (of which I’m a proud owner) to, now, the MoGo Talk iPhone Bluetooth Headset/Case… is the embodiment of innovation and originality.
It is refreshing to know that America hasn’t entirely lost its innovative edge on the world stage, even as the bozos on Wall Street continue to drown in their “too big to fail” mantra.
The small company that could may well be America’s last hope.
Kudos to you, Terry and everyone at Newton Peripherals. Keep ‘em coming!
Ill take one, yeah!!
Oh heck yeah! I am down with the thinness.
lets see, the iphone is missing, but it’s good to have something to attach to later on, isn’t it? :-)
i want one
Very classy product!
I want one….
I realize this is a late comment, but the Newton President on the video quoted a price of $99 for the MoGo Talk iPhone (echoed by other blogs and news outlets). Yet mogostore.com is actually selling all MoGo Talk cell phone kits for $129. Only the laptop kit is selling for $99. Which is correct?
I also wonder why the MoGo iPhone case does not actually seem to attach to the Apple dock connector on the bottom (like mophie’s juick pack air battery case)? Instead, the MoGo case has a separate micro USB port on the side to independently charge the headset. That means when on the go, the iPhone’s battery itself cannot charge the headset. Newton says they’re toying with this functionality for future MoGo Talk models for the Blackberry, but not the iPhone?
