Okay, it is time to review some more Speck, and we have a lot going on here. Unlike last time, when we reviewed Samsung-related accessories, we are going to cover what Speck has for Apple with Speck Presidio ULTRA for the iPhone X I have to be honest when I say that I am surprised that the Presidio Ultra is not one of those waterproof cases.

UAG (Urban Armor Gear) Plasma Cases for the Google Pixel 2 and XL 2
By now, I have become pretty familiar with Urban Armor Gear (UAG) and their line of cases. I was very pleased to try out the Plasma case for Google's line of smartphones with the Pixel 2 and XL 2. I will have to say that the Plasma is a design that I have seen and reported on before, the last time was with the HUAWEI P10 and Mate 9. The Plasma has this hard plastic thing … [Read more...] about UAG (Urban Armor Gear) Plasma Cases for the Google Pixel 2 and XL 2

The iRig Keys I/O 25 by IK Multimedia
I always like when I get the chance to review some IK Multimedia products, and when it came time to review a keyboard from them, I jumped at the chance. The iRig Keys I/O 25 is named due to its 25 piano keys (which is about two octives), and it is a 25-key ultra-compact MIDI controller with input/output audio interface for the PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad. You can see the … [Read more...] about The iRig Keys I/O 25 by IK Multimedia
Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
It's been about two years since my last review of a Lander case, and I believe that they are owned by BGZ Brands, the same guys that do Bodyguardz. The Moab case from Lander came in Bodyguardz packaging, and this is a case that is designed to protect against the cold. I had to admit, I have been using my phone in the cold and felt that touchscreen was like the bottom of … [Read more...] about Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
Bedol Squirt Water Clock
I'm not certain why I am reviewing the Bedol Squirt Water Clock, as I don't think there even is a market for alarm clocks anymore. Seriously, doesn't everyone just have an alarm on their smartphone? Still, I like the idea of creating an alarm clock that doesn't run on batteries or electricity. Using its technology, it can convert water into clean energy power. If you are … [Read more...] about Bedol Squirt Water Clock

Today is a good day for a great review, and these products from Vibes Audio are something really fantastic.

TomTom GO 52 Navigation Unit
I'm going to go back in time to about a decade ago. I rented a car for CES 2008, and for some extra money, I could get a GPS unit. This was back in the days before everyone had a smartphone, and the unit that I was using was quite huge, too big for the glovebox. This was the days when companies like Garmin and TomTom were making a killing, and I thought that had ended when … [Read more...] about TomTom GO 52 Navigation Unit
The iRig Mic HD 2 High Digital Microphone from IK Multimedia
I have reviewed a lot of IK Multimedia products in the past before, and for some reason, I remember them for their microphones, particularly the iRig.

Yes, apparently the iRig is an important brand from IK … [Read more...] about The iRig Mic HD 2 High Digital Microphone from IK Multimedia
