I always like reviewing products from Nyko, and I was very pleased to try out the successor to the PlayPad with the PlayPad Pro. I found that this PlayPad Pro is a definite upgrade, especially with the shape. The old looked more like the original NES controller, while this one looks as ergonomic as modern console controllers like the PS3. In fact, the PlayPad Pro bears a … [Read more...] about PlayPad Pro Android Controller from Nyko
Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Final Cut
Lately, I have been reviewing films that are more fantasy than science fiction. This is good, since I like to talk about speculative fiction films that discuss how technology can change society, and it usually isn't in a good way. The Final Cut would probably be one of those, but I don't think I feel comfortable classifying it as science fiction. I mean, it takes place in … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Final Cut
Incipio Part 4: The Stashback for the iPhone 5
I have been seeing a lot of smartphone cases, and they usually have one thing in common: they can store cash and credit cards. I am talking about cases like the QCard case by CM4. I can see why. People want less pocket bulk, and if you only need your wallet for credit cards and your driver's license, why bother with a wallet. Of course, Incipio has a bunch of products … [Read more...] about Incipio Part 4: The Stashback for the iPhone 5
Hands on with the Optrix PhotoProX
I have been reviewing a lot protective cases for the iPhone 5 like the Incipio ATLAS (see last review), and I have also been reviewing some interesting lenses for the iPhone 5 like the Olloclip. The Optrix PhotoProX is sort of a combination of both. As you can see from the picture, the PhotoProX come with four lenses. What you don't know is the four types: Low Profile, … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Optrix PhotoProX
Incipio, Part 3: The ATLAS for the iPhone 5
It seems like I have been seeing a lot of these rugged cases made for smartphones. Hopefully, you know of brands like Otterbox and Lifeproof, but have you heard of the ATLAS by Incipio? If you haven't, then you really should. It is another fine Incipio product designed to protect against water, dirt, and drops. It is definitely ready for the person who likes a little … [Read more...] about Incipio, Part 3: The ATLAS for the iPhone 5
Incipio Part 2: The Printed Lexington Hard Shell Folio Case for the iPad Mini
This has been a week of interesting reviews of iPad and iPad mini products this week, and it helps to have Incipio send me some of their latest. The Lexington has a rigid Plextonium frame and an interior microsuede lining. Now there is an interesting flap with rubberband that allows you to prop up the iPad Mini at an angle for use. Another interesting feature is more … [Read more...] about Incipio Part 2: The Printed Lexington Hard Shell Folio Case for the iPad Mini
Miveu X Kit for the iPhone 4/4S/5
It isn't every day that I review a product that can work for both the iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 5, so I got to hand it to Miveu for doing something unique with the Miveu X Kit. If you are not familiar with Miveu, it is an excellent method of mounting a phone on your person so you can record stuff from your view (hence the name Miveu some weird word mash of "my view"). It is … [Read more...] about Miveu X Kit for the iPhone 4/4S/5
Incipio, Part 1: The F38 Headphones
It looks like we are doing another series on another product, but this one isn't going to be a trilogy like the three I wrote for Domeo or one of my four-part trilogies like that one I did for Eagle. No, I intend to review Incipio products until the day I die. Yes, they are so good, so good, you see. I'll start this series with the f38 headphones. These have a 38 mm … [Read more...] about Incipio, Part 1: The F38 Headphones
Domeo Arigato, Part 3: The Recliner Mini Folio for the iPad Mini
Today is the third part of the Domeo trilogy. This won't be like the Eagle trilogy, where I had four parts. As far as I can tell, I have exhausted the entire Domeo catalog! The problem is that I have nothing new to say about the Recliner for the iPad Mini. I have seen a lot of the features of the Recliner Mini on the Recliner for the iPad. Instead of the Bubbles that the … [Read more...] about Domeo Arigato, Part 3: The Recliner Mini Folio for the iPad Mini
The Topcor Tech Wallet
I have said this before, and I am starting to become a prophet, but the wallet's days are numbered. As soon as we have mastered all electronic payments, no one will ever have to put that lump in their pocket ever again. Until that day, you can use Topcor's Tech Wallet. I would consider this a merging of the smartphone and a wallet, as you must put a velcro strip on the … [Read more...] about The Topcor Tech Wallet
Hands on with CM4’s QCard Case for the Galaxy 4
I have already reported on the QCard Case for the Galaxy S 4 a while ago, and you can imagine my shock when I saw it in the mail. My initial out-of-the-box impression is that it feels quite squishy to the grip. There is some sort of weird fabric that allows the user to put three or so cards (ID, credit) plus a little bit of cash. The QCard loves to boast about its … [Read more...] about Hands on with CM4’s QCard Case for the Galaxy 4
Yurbuds Signature Series Sport Earphones
I have tried out Yurbuds on more than one occasion, and I was pleased to try out the Signature Series ITE 100. After all, it is officially endorsed by LaMichael James, and I don't really have any idea who that is. Yes, he is a football player, but hey, can you blame me, I run a blog called The Geek Church. I had a chance to hear about LaMichael's attitude, and I like it. … [Read more...] about Yurbuds Signature Series Sport Earphones
Domeo Arigato, Part 2: The Loft Folio and Recliner iPad Cases
Yesterday, I talked about the Domeo Tri-Lounge, which I will have to say is an unusual iPad accessory. Today, I am reviewing two iPad Cases, and I will start with the Loft Folio. You have to admire the Loft Folio for sheer design aesthetic alone. Look at how it stands, making it look like a desktop monitor, an old school one, actually. It really is at the perfect … [Read more...] about Domeo Arigato, Part 2: The Loft Folio and Recliner iPad Cases
We are giving away Three iPhone cases and Two Galaxy S4 Cases….and a Calculator from Casio
Okay, we are going to do a contest here. We are giving away not one thing, but five things. We are giving away two Element Cases, the Atom S4 and the Eclipse S4. You can read about them here.

Domeo Arigato, Part 1: The Tri-Lounge for the iPad
Since I have been fortunate enough to receive a shipment of stuff from Domeo, it is my duty, nay, the privilege, to report on it. I will start with the triangular and triumphant Tri-Lounge! Okay, so I ran out of T-words, and I really like the design of this. It really is a great pillow-like accessory for the iPad. You can put the tablet in these special holder pockets so … [Read more...] about Domeo Arigato, Part 1: The Tri-Lounge for the iPad
