I think you all know that I love me some Olloclip products. It seems like whenever I think I have seen it all from them, something new comes my way. In this case, this might be the first one for a non-Apple product that I have reviewed. In fact, it is for the Galaxy S5, which is now my personal smartphone. The Olloclip for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a terrific way of … [Read more...] about Olloclip is now for the Galaxy S phones now!

Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Well, after all the excitement over the Apple announcement of the iPhone 6, amongst other things, it stands to reason that I would be writing about accessories sooner or later. I'm surprised that I have an accessory before I can have access to the actual product. The Crystal case for the iPhone 6 is totally transparent, but it has a "dual material combination" even though … [Read more...] about Skech Crystal cover for the iPhone 6
Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
As I mentioned in my last review of Drew and the Floating Labyrinth is PAX month, and so I will report about games that perhaps you have not heard about. The game Reassembly from Indie Voyage is one of them. Reassembly is a game that is a mix of old-school and "current school" gaming. You know how Minecraft allows its users to build a world with 1 x 1 blocks? In … [Read more...] about Reassembly, a video game where you build spaceships
What Apple announced today
We all knew that Apple was going to announce something big today on September 9th, and we thought it was going to be the new iPhone and the iWatch. So what did they announce? It started off with Apple saying they had lots of products (plural) to report, and while they had a new smartphone and smartwatch, it was not quite what expected. Apple began with the new version of … [Read more...] about What Apple announced today
Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
I suppose that I could call September "PAX month", because I will be covering all kinds of video games that I learned about at PAXPrime last week. I intend to spend each day covering at least one type of gaming-related article, and much of the source material will be something that I learned at PAXPrime 2014. Today, it is Drew and the Floating Labyrinth. If you haven't … [Read more...] about Drew and the Floating Labyrinth, a game with invisible levels
The Polo Book for the Samsung Galaxy S5 by SKECH
I have reviewed a lot of SKECH products before, such as the Skechbook for the iPad Mini. I have also reviewed many products that are essentially folio cases/wallets for the smartphone, like the QCard Case. Okay, enough of the whole "I've reviewed products like these before" intro, let's just get to the product: the Polo Book from Skech. I had a chance to try out the … [Read more...] about The Polo Book for the Samsung Galaxy S5 by SKECH
LifeCHARGE InAir Battery Case with Wireless Charging for the iPhone 5/5S
It seems like I have reviewed a lot of LifeCHARGE products, and the last one was the ZEAL made for the iPhone 5C. I'm not certain what the lifespan is for the iPhone 5C, not to mention the iPhone 5/5S as of next week. However, if you are looking for a battery/cover for the iPhone 5/5S, I would recommend the LifeCHARGE InAir for the iPhone 5/5S. This is one of those … [Read more...] about LifeCHARGE InAir Battery Case with Wireless Charging for the iPhone 5/5S
X-mini MAX Capsule Speakers
Here's a funny story. X-mini sent me two products to review: the We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker and the MAX Capsule speakers. I was out of town for a little while, and I didn't see the latter until later. Needless to say, I am quite glad that I got the chance to try these out. The MAX do not use Bluetooth, but you can easily plug them into anything with a 3.5mm … [Read more...] about X-mini MAX Capsule Speakers
Speculative Fiction Saturday: Generator Rex
I finished last month's line of films with my theme of weird independent films, so I'm not really certain what theme I want to go with this time. I suppose that I could talk about my favorite animated speculative fiction shows, but I have to admit that Generator Rex would not make this list. I remember the first day that I turned it on and watched it. It is weird to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Generator Rex
Speck Candyshell Inked Cases, Amped Cases, and DuraFolio Case for the iPad Air
I have reviewed a lot of Speck products before, and I was able to get a hold of a few so I can do this next review. I'm going to start with the Candyshell Inked case. I have actually reviewed the Candyshell Grip Case, and it is a scratch resistant case with military grade protection. There are no rubberized grips on the Inked, but there are high resolution graphics. … [Read more...] about Speck Candyshell Inked Cases, Amped Cases, and DuraFolio Case for the iPad Air
X-Mini We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker
I have reviewed a lot of Bluetooth Speakers, including some from X-mini, like the KAI Capsule Wireless Speaker. The We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker might be one of the smallest that I have ever reviewed. The We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker is shaped like a candy barrel, you know, the hard ones that tastes like root beer. It is about 48 grams, which is pretty light and it … [Read more...] about X-Mini We Thumbsize Bluetooth Speaker
The TimeShaker Micro from iLuv
Ah, I love iLuv products. If I haven't made that pun before, then I guess I apologize, because it really is obvious. Just in time for back-to-school, the company releases its TimeShaker Micro. It is pretty clear why it is called the TimeShaker Micro, because it is an alarm clock that can wake you up with a tiny shaker that vibrates when sleepy-time is over. This is good … [Read more...] about The TimeShaker Micro from iLuv
Star Wars First Edition STREET by 50 On-Ear Headphones
Okay, this is one of the times in reviewing a product where the headline really kind of says it all. I have stated many times that reviewing headphones is difficult because how am I going to describe an audio experience in my written medium? Personally, I wanted it because it has Star Wars on it, and Star Wars stuff just sells because it is Star Wars. All right, so how … [Read more...] about Star Wars First Edition STREET by 50 On-Ear Headphones
TYLT SYNCABLE-DUO for Lightning and Micro-USB devices
I've reviewed several TYLT products in the past, and I will say that they do make some high quality accessories. I don't think I want to even put a link here from TYLT, so just enter "TYLT" in the Search Engine and read past reviews. That being said, there isn't much that I can say about the TYLT SYNCABLE DUO other than it is a USB charging cable for devices with Lightning or … [Read more...] about TYLT SYNCABLE-DUO for Lightning and Micro-USB devices
iKlip Xpand Mini from IKMultimedia
I have reviewed a lot of IK Multimedia products before, and the last one was the iRig Voice, a microphone that is essentially made for a smartphone or tablet. This iKlip Xpand Mini is made for those who want to use their smartphone as a microphone. The iKlip Xpand Mini is made for putting your smartphone on a pole. Yes, as long as you have a pole that is smaller than a … [Read more...] about iKlip Xpand Mini from IKMultimedia
