Griffin's Identity Cases Protect from Drops, but Keep It Stylish

Griffin’s Identity Cases Protect from Drops, but Keep It Stylish

Griffin is one of our favorite accessories companies here at Gear Diary so when I received Griffin’s Identity cases for the iPhone 6 Plus, I pretty much already knew to expect a quality product, but got much more. I had the opportunity to get three different models of the Griffin’s Identity series: Tennis ball Green, Blue with a clear back, and a black wallet case. Now usually I’m not a fan of wallet cases because I think they are a bit corny, and I feel strange having my credit cards exposed when I have my phone out to text,…

Running Out of Outlets with All of Your Gadgets? iClever's Wall Charger Fixed That

Running Out of Outlets with All of Your Gadgets? iClever’s Wall Charger Fixed That

We have a lot of gadgets. And they all need to be charged. Sometimes at the same time. Why? Because we use them. So when the iClever USB travel Wall Charger came to my door, I instantly was excited. The travel wall charger is yet another great item from iClever, who is known for creating products that you wouldn’t typically think you’d use, until you actually find out you need them. Having multiple battery packs to charge, as well as a smartphone and a tablet, on top of now an Apple Watch that needs to be charged daily, iClever’s six…

Lucrin’s Apple Watch Bands Let Your Wrist Make the Statement, for a Price

There’s already plenty of Apple Watch bands out there on the market, in all different types of makes and colors. Some things that you might have to consider is how much you’d want to spend for one, and if you’ll actually get quality for the price you pay. Apple’s own bands are pretty nice, but, to be honest, when I saw them in the store I wasn’t really in love with any of them minus the sports bands.

The Scrubba Wash Bag Will Make Your Clothes Appear Clean, but ARE They?

Over the past month, I’ve been doing a ton of traveling, and with that came the need to keep my clothing clean. Luckily I had a super portable wash bag that I could use to quickly wash the smaller things in my bag that needed to be cleaned.

The Distil Union Wally Bifold Wallet Is Minimalist Without the Minimal

The Distil Union Wally Bifold Wallet Is Minimalist Without the Minimal

Distil Union describes the Wally bifold minimalist wallet as the “super-slim leather billfold wallet.” There’s actually truth in advertising here. The Wally bifold is super-slim, made of leather and includes a money-clip built right into the wallet. It is, by far, the best minimalist wallet I have tried. I’ve been using one of the $59.99 wallets and love it.

Incipio’s Weekender Bag Is a Classy Way to Get Away

There’s one thing that I’ve always thought that I could do a bit better in, and that’s packing for smaller weekend trips where I only need a few things to last three or four days. So I searched for weekender bags because well … It’s just for the weekend right?

Satechi’s Selfie Stick Gets Everything but One Thing Right

Taking group photos are hard, yes, even on an Android. I don’t care what feature Samsung places in their commercials, there’s something pretty cool (albeit corny) about a selfie stick. So when Satechi sent over their Bluetooth Smart Selfie Extension Arm monopod, the first thing that came to mind is “I finally get to try one!!”

Satechi’s SX20 Battery Pack Has Enough Juice to Charge FOUR of Your Devices

I feel like I have an addiction: Battery Chargers. I hadn’t found one that will charge all of my devices collectively at night when I go to bed, or whenever I’m traveling, hold up enough juice to last throughout the day. It’s safe to say that has changed.

Zuna Drive Eliminates the Need for a Car Mount Which Is a Good Thing

One thing that my girlfriend got as a gift from her boss was a car mount for her phone. It was a white elephant gift, and although the value it cost them was probably about $7 bucks, she uses this everyday on her daily commute to and from work to house her phone.

I Played Angry Birds 2 So You Don’t Have To!

I confess, I have a soft spot for Angry Birds. It’s an easy game to play, and I find it works well as a “time killer” type app. Usually at any given time I have one or two variations on my phone or tablet for casual play. So I do genuinely like the games, and I hate Angry Birds 2.
