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 [...]

Pebble E-Paper Watch for iPhone and Android Review
Back in early May of 2012, Dan posted an article about both Judie and him supporting the Pebble Watch Kickstarter project. The project became noteworthy in that it became one of the most heavily supported Kickstarter projects in Kickstarter history. Initially hoping to raise $100,000, it meet that goal two hours after going live. In less than [...]
Divoom OnBeat X1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review
To be honest, most of my gaming — whether PC, Mac, DS, PSP, iOS or Android — is done either with headphones or with the device muted. There are a couple of reasons for this: first to allow for ‘gaming anywhere’; the second because ever since playing games such as Thief in the late 90s, [...]
White Tuxedo Monster DNA Headphones Review
In the realm of headphones the quip, “It’s better to look good than to feel good” might well be rendered as “It’s better to look good than to sound good.”. In both cases, the statement is obviously nonsense. Just ask anyone with chronic inflammatory arthritis… it doesn’t matter a bit what you look like [...]
Turtle Shell Boombox, Is It the Bluetooth Speaker for You?
Bluetooth speakers are pretty much everywhere you look; there’s the granddaddy of them all – the rectangular JawBone JamBox. There’s the strikingly similar rectangular shaped Braven 600 speaker that adds an external battery for charging your devices. If you want the speaker that stands up tall rather than sitting low you might want to check out [...]
Nuu MiniKey Keyboard for iPhone 5 Review
I trace my history with portable digital devices back to the early days – I grabbed the HP95LX, the first real ‘handheld computer’ when it came out in 1991, and have had a myriad of devices including the Newton, as well as various Psion, Windows CE, Handheld PC, Palm, Pocket PC devices. More recently I [...]
SPIGEN SGP Linear Blitz Phone 5 Case Review
SPIGEN SGP has done it again with their Linear Blitz for iPhone 5. Yes, the company has been on a roll with their iPhone 5 cases, and the SPIGEN SGP Linear Blitz for iPhone 5 is yet another case that brings qualities, plenty of “extras” and good protection at an impressive price. How impressive is [...]
Wind Up Your Car Trip with a Winding Cable Car Charger
A great bane of connected driving can often be pesky power cables snaking across the car’s dashboard console, looking for all the world like albino spaghetti for iPhone users. What to do if the cable in question is too long and bowing out dangerously close to your arm, just itching for a wayward hand [...]
Mkeeper Shoulder Bag Gento for iPad 4 / Mini / Tablet
When I got myself an iPad, I quickly acquired a Tom Bihn Ristretto should bag in which to carry it. I love my Tom Bihn bag; it’s got a nice padded place for my pad, lots of pockets, a well-designed strap, and plenty of other accouterments. But as much as I like it, it has [...]
MiPow Boom Bluetooth Speaker Review
We posted our review of the MiPow Boom mini the other day. (Read it.) The speaker is tiny but the sound is anything but tinny. I’m impressed by the sound such a small speaker is able to pump out and I still can’t believe that, after using the speaker pretty continually since we got here [...]
The Scosche boomBOTTLE Is a Ruggedized Portable Speaker for Tunes on the Go
We’ve reviewed a host of different Bluetooth speakers but never one quite like this. The Scosche boomBOTTLE is a new mobile speaker that is ideal for streaming music while biking, hiking, camping and more. The boomBOTTLE not only has a unique design, but it has the features to match. A durable non-slip, shock absorbing TPU [...]
Slickwraps Add Colorful Skins to Your New Pebble Watch
The other day I received my Kickstarter Pebble Watch in the mail, and I was excited as you might imagine. However, as I began to use it, I quickly noticed how well the device face ergonomics might lend itself to skinning and screen protection. As it turns out, Slickwraps.com has released attractive skins to do just [...]
Earzee Wrist Bluetooth Headset Allows for Covert Snoozes
It’s been a long day. You are simply exhausted. For many, the natural inclination is to take a quick snooze. But what happens if you are expecting an important call yet are so tired you can hardly move? Must you try to saw some logs with a phone in your pocket or wake up startled [...]
MiPow Boom mini Bluetooth Speaker Review
I will admit to having gone into my review of the MiPow Boom and MiPow Boom mini Bluetooth speakers positively inclined toward both products. After all, when Judie and I met with Brian Holmes, vice president and general manager of MiPow, back at CES in January we were immediately impressed by the attention to quality and [...]
Sucker Stylus for Tablets and Smartphones
When I had my late. very much lamented Tapwave Zodiac, we were still deep in the stylus era of PDAs. One of the problems with stylii, of course, is keeping it. Some PDAs (and early smart phones) had slots built into them to contain your (generally cheap plastic) stylus, but the Zodiac had a pretty [...]
