Are You Still Using Mailbox?
When Mailbox, the app designed to tame, manage and control your inbox, arrived, I was thrilled. I was the first person on the Gear Diary team to gain access, and for the first few weeks I was doing nothing but singing its praises. Judie, Dan and Mike all joined over the next several weeks, but [...]

ContourROAM2 Action Camera Is Built for Life in Motion
Perry recently wrote up an awesome action camera that allows you to shoot video in two different directions at once. The Oregon Scientific ATC Chameleon is a neat idea that lets, for example, not only see where you are going but also shows you the slow-pokes behind you on the ski slope or in the bike race. [...]

Findables Cases for iPhone 5 and iPad mini Review
The more I review tech accessories, the more I find that I’m less inclined to use gadgets that rely on app-gimmicks than ever before. What I mean by that is, if there is something that lends itself to having a specialized application great. But if the inclusion of an app is a little more than [...]
HoodiePillow, a SharkTank Product Pitch Product Review
I was watching SharkTank a few months ago when I saw the HoodiePillow pitch. I laughed … out loud. In part because the product sounds so silly, but also because we were pitched this product or something like it quite some time ago, and I thought it was a joke. What’s a HoodiePillow you ask? [...]
3 to 5 Hours of Streamed Music from the MiPow Boom mini? Not Even Close!
We brought an exclusive first look at the MiPow Boom mini (read the post), and then we shared the first ever review of the diminutive new speaker coming from MiPow. As you might recall, Judie and I met with MiPow in January when they were showing off their newest offerings at CES 2013. We were [...]
Just Mobile AluCup iPhone Accessory Review
Just Mobile has made some of our favorite iPhone and Mac accessory. We met with the company at CES 2013, and they showed us a few of their upcoming products. One of them, the AluCup, struck me as one of their less compelling products. Still, there was something about it that intrigued me, and I [...]
Speck Protection for the New Samsung Galaxy S4 Announced, and You Can Win a CandyShell Case for Your S4!
I was lucky enough to attend the Press Conference where the Samsung GALAXY S 4 was announced. The event took place at Radio City Music Hall and was a packed spectacle befitting the location. (See the original post.) Despite maintaining its predecessor’s plastic build the S 4 impressed me. It packs some great new technology [...]

Some weeks ago we took a first look at the RokForm RokShield v3 Case Kit for iPad Mini.

After all, the case [...]
Great Gifts and Gear for Mother’s Day — You’ll Be Thanking Us!
We went hunting for some of the best gifts for mom and dad. We shared them, as well as some special Newsletter Subscriber-Only giveaways, in a special mid-week Gear Diary Newsletter a few days ago. Then we realized that whether you are a newsletter subscriber or not, you may be looking for a great Mother’s [...]
Leap Motion Makes the Right Move, Even Though it Means a Delay
The piece of tech I’ve been most excited about is something I have not often discussed, since all we’ve had thus far are a few promo videos of the actual product. The Leap Motion controller promises to transform the way we interact with our computers. It has the potential to truly allow us to interact [...]
Rokform Rokshield v3 and v3 Suction Mount for iPhone 5 Review
Some weeks ago, I had the opportunity to review the Rokform Rokshield v3 for iPhone 5 (read the review). The case itself offers nice protection, but that wasn’t what stood out for me. No, what stood out when I reviewed the case at the time was the numerous possibilities a case like this afforded any iPhone [...]
Sony’s Cyber-shot HX50V: A 30x Optical Zoom in a Small and Light Camera
When the smartphone market exploded the point and shoot camera market went into a nosedive. That's not a surprise since, for many of us, our iPhones or Galaxy 3 does a perfectly good job of letting us grab shots on the go. In addition, thanks to powerful applications and ubiquitous connectivity we are now able [...]
