Earphones, headphones, buds…it seems like I am in a constant search to find a great audio option to be used with my devices. I love trying them all out and experiencing the slight detail differences in the bass, highs and mids. Earphones come in all different shapes and colors, but rarely would I call them [...]

Just Mobile AluPen Pro Review
As much as I have tried to go paperless, it’s been impossible for me to totally quit writing down shopping lists or jotting quick notes to myself or others. Whether I like it or not, I think I will always need to have a pen handy. Add to that my occasional need for a capacitive [...]
Vaja Cases Lucy XL Leather Clutch for iPhone, Samsung, and Blackberry Devices
I love Vaja products. I genuinely do. They’re beautiful, they’re functional, they feel nice in your hand, and they’re high-quality. Yup, they cost a bundle, no question, but I honestly believe they’re worth it. I have had several Vaja cases for my iPhones along with a beautiful wallet that still gets me compliments. Vaja is [...]
OtterBox & AT&T Reveal the Armor Series at CES – Toughest Cases Ever Built?
In general, I tend to go for iPhone cases that add as little weight and bulk to my iPhone as possible, while at the same time giving me at least some protection. But there are definitely times when you want more protection than that. Let’s say you have a loved one who has an unfortunate [...]
Travelocity Launches New Waterproof/Sandproof Mobile Device Cases
So you’re going on a trip, and you want to be able to protect your precious gear, right? Well, you can go to the standbys like Otterbox or some such, but as we often tell you here on Gear Diary, we love competition. And so now gear maker Mizco, via their Travelocity division (and no, [...]
zBoost Introduces Additions to the Their 4G Line of Cell Phone Signal Boosters
I live in a portion of Austin called Rollingwood. Like Willow Glen in San Jose, or countless towns in the London area, Rollingwood was its own town for a period before it was absorbed by Austin. But the point here is that it ain’t called Rollingwood for nothing; it’s a lot of hills and dips. [...]
Bracketron Secures New Line of In-Vehicle Mounting Solutions
When I was traveling back and forth to California a lot, I had to do a lot of driving around the Bay Area. (Austin is much smaller; in the SF Bay Area, you have to drive everywhere.) And even though I had lived there for more than 20 years, the population keeps growing and they [...]
Wilson Electronics’ New Sleek 4G Signal Booster Will Keep Your Connection Solid
If you are on the road a lot, then you know all about what it’s like to have your cellular signal act in a less than reliable manner. Watching your 4G/LTE signal drop down to zilch, then slide over to EDGE, 3G and then ultimately climb back to 4G — depending upon where you area, [...]
Apple iPad mini, Samsung GT-i9260 Galaxy Premier and Sony Xperia V Cases by Noreve Saint-Tropez
You know, I have a hard time bringing you all news about iPad mini gear. Not because I don’t like telling you about Cool New Stuff; no, it’s because I really want an iPad mini (a lot), and I’m determined to not get one until they come with Retina screens, so I’m holding off. Also, [...]
Mobile Fun Samsung Galaxy S III Extended Battery Kit
If you have a smartphone other than one of the Droid Maxx devices, chances are you wish it had better battery life. And as they get more and more powerful we do more and more – so any gains in power efficiency are lost by greater usage! There are battery cases available that fully cover [...]
Bluebird by American Express, a Hiccup
We are in the midst of a series of posts that walk through the process of creating an account with Bluebird, a joint venture between American Express and Walmart, and subsequently using the self-described “Checking and Debit Alternative”. Initially I planned to highlight the process of creating a number of sub accounts that work with [...]
Mophie Juice Pack Pro for iPhone 4/S Review
Tough on your iPhone 4/S? Prone to drops and breaks, and your slim case just isn’t cutting it? Want longer power for your iPhone? If you said yes to any of these questions, you might want to consider taking a gander at the Mophie Juice Pack Pro. Designed to exceed the U.S. military’s MIL-STD 810G [...]
Aranez Aquila iPhone 5 Leather Case Review
The first thing I did when I received the Aquila iPhone 5 Leather Case by Aranez, was sniff it for that real leather smell. My nose (and the case’s specifications) confirmed that this case is made from genuine cow leather. This case is extremely lightweight, yet feels sturdy enough to protect your iPhone 5 from [...]
Sena Lusio Case for Samsung Galaxy S III Review
As I mentioned in my review, the Samsung Galaxy SIII is a sleek and slim device and it would be a shame to wrap it up in a bulky case. Well, apparently the folks at Sena feel the same way, since the new Lusio is a thin leather case for the Galaxy SIII that offers [...]
USBFever Releases the JOGPOCKET for iPhone / iPod touch / Galaxy S3 / Smartphones
For a brief time, in a desperate effort to get my weight down (and against my Doctor’s advice), I tried doing the old C25K, the “couch to 5K” running program. I did okay for a while until I was crippled by bad running shoes, horrific shin splints, and my general dislike of running for running’s [...]
