The Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L AW camera backpack is a great way to carry and protect your mirror less camera, a tablet and a healthy selection of gear. When preparing for CES 2013 last January I tried a number of bags and backpacks that would allow me to carry my camera gear and my tablet [...]

iStabilizer tabMount Holds Your Tablet Right
I’m a huge fan of the various products from iStabilizer. From their Flex smartphone holder to their Glass, to their Monopod, iStabilizer is one of those small companies whose products don’t grab a lot of attention, but they still stand out because they not only do their job, they do their job well. A few months [...]
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 [...]
Targus Touch Pen for Windows 8 Review
Let’s face it, most of us who have become adept at using smartphones and tablets have become quite accustomed to using our fingers as the primary input devices. Microsoft took note of this and enveloped Windows 8 in something of a hybrid interface to permit this on touch-capable devices. Right now I’m running Windows 8 [...]
JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger Now Available
There are a couple of things about the JuiceCan Portable Power Recharger I want to mention to y’all. First is the most obvious one: It’s a device that’s more eye-catching than your typical flat-black brick o’ power. Now, I prefer the “form over function” design strategy, and my portable power brick is pretty dull looking, but [...]
Tom Bihn Brain Bag with Camera I-O and Accessories Review
If you are looking for a small, light backpack you can stop reading now. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a backpack that is large, flexible, comfortable to carry and tough enough to last and last keep reading. Tom Bihn’s Brain Bag is a pricey backpack that is large and flexible enough [...]
Griffin Announces Kid-Friendly Accessories at CES 2013
With all of the new options available in mobile computing, it is natural that kids are getting more exposure and usage out of all of these devices. Both of my kids received tablets for Christmas and are pretty proficient at using them for many tasks. While using these devices is fun it is still important that they [...]
Waterfield SFBags Announces the CitySlicker for iPad and iPad mini
One of the worst things about selling my 11″ MacBook air after I traded up to the 15″ MacBook ProR was the fact that I could no longer use the Waterfield CitySlicker for 11″ MBA I had reviewed. When “ordering” the review sample I had designed a “loaded” version with a handle and D-rings. It [...]

Now the company is rolling out a line of backpacks that take the same approach to extreme-protection of all your devices.

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 [...]
Griffin Stylus + Pen + Laser Pointer for Touchscreens, Review
We’ve seen a number of different styli for the iPad and other touchscreen tablets. Most recently we did a video review of the LunaTik Touch Pen. (Read and watch it here) Unlike initial tablet styli that were… styli, the Touch Pen doubles as both a stylus and an ink pen. Better still, it switches from [...]

The WhaleTail Tablet Vacuum Dock and Handle Review
I do a lot of news items here at GD — just keeping you folks abreast of new offerings, deals, and the like. Every once in a while an item pops up that makes me think, “Yeah, okay, I’ve gotta give that a try.” Such an item was the Octa WhaleTail tablet stand/holder. I mean, [...]
Hand Stylus Review, Kickstart This!
Using an iPhone and or iPad throughout most days, there is one thing I have learned. My hands can sure make a touch screen smudged up and grimy. While coaching my high school softball team this year, we used the iPad to collect all of the game stats. While this was awesome, I found myself [...]
FlipStands Tablet Stand Review
If there is one negative aspect about having a tablet computer, it is probably how to hold the thing. As their form factor is super handy when on the go or playing a game, it is not always easy to hold them when trying to get some real work done. I have tried many products [...]
