iPhone Use Abroad w/o Data Roaming Charges

There was a time, lo those many years ago, when I harbored the hope that I would be traveling regularly to Europe.  I am very much a Francophile, and had hopes that Sami and I (and later, Maggie and Joseph) would spend time in France.  And when considering such travels, I would wonder to myself, [...]

Oberon Design Large Smartphone Sleeve Review

It wasn’t so long ago that I reviewed the Oberon Design cellphone sleeve, and while that case was perfect for the iPhone and other similarly sized mobile devices, it isn’t quite big enough for all of the larger-screened mobile devices that are now so popular. I’ve got the new Nokia Lumia 920, which has a [...]

Keystone ECO is the First Universal Smartphone Case

Now one would think, what with the fact that smartphones can vary wildly in size from “man this is small!” to “you sure this isn’t officially a tablet?”, that it would be quite hard to create a universal case that covers all the bases.  And I’m sure it was damn hard to create.  But some [...]

PowerSkin® Expands Suite of NFC-Enabled Battery Cases

One of the drags of modern smartphones is the fact that battery technology simply hasn’t kept up with a lot of other tech breakthroughs.  Consider memory, for example.  Back in the day, a 100 Megabyte hard drive could be a couple inches tall and half a foot long; now you can pack dozen of Gigabytes [...]

ReturnGuru Puts Receipt Management at iOS and Windows Phone Users’ Fingertips

I don’t think they’re quite there yet, but I am very, very encouraged and pleased by the plethora of apps that have come out to help you shop.  More, I’m very pleased by apps that provide you discounts, coupons, pointers to deals, and the like.  Shopping is, for me, a major PITA, and anything that [...]

Liquid-Armor Invisible Nano-Coating Tech Screen Protector for Tablets and eReaders Review

all photos by Kevin Stanford Like many who ordered an iPhone 5 when they were first available, I didn’t have any kind of case, screen protector, or protective skin on hand when mine arrived. I did have a review sample of Dynaflo’s Liquid-Armor, however. Nano-coating tech? What’s that all about? I was ready to find [...]

Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth Headset Review

My first Bluetooth headset sounded rather lousy, and it required a Bluetooth dongle be plugged into the phone itself since it did not have integrated BT. The headset also had a long boom that reached toward my mouth. It looked… dumb. When headsets began to appear that were tiny, dropped the boom and, as a [...]

Sena UltraSlim for HTC ONE X Review

As much as I love using various cases – they add color, style and, often, functionality, my iPhone spends the majority of its time relatively naked. Yes, I usually have a screen protector and some sort of back protection on it but, other than that, it’s just the iPhone. My reason? Simple, I love the [...]
