I've recently reviewed STM products last summer as they introduced a backpack with a battery in it with the Drifter. What attracted me to reviewing this Haven backpack for 15-inch laptops product is that I was told that it was good for travel and allows devices to stay suspended inside. Part of it is the slingtech protection. It has a whole lot of space for a laptop, and … [Read more...] about STM Part 1: The Haven 15-inch Laptop Backpack
PDP, Part 1: Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and Afterglow AG 9 for the PS4
Well, it has been a while since we have reviewed a PDP product, and they are best known for creating video game accessories that can glow. I requested quite a bit of products from this company, and I was surprised that they sent a bunch to me. Today, I'm going to be talking about two products, specifically for the PS4 with the Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and the Afterglow AF 9. … [Read more...] about PDP, Part 1: Afterglow LVL 5 Plus and Afterglow AG 9 for the PS4

The Scribble n’ Play from Boogie Board
You might be familiar with Boogie Board as they make these eWriters. They are not the eReaders like a Kindle, but something that you can write on electronically. While it may not be the Sync that allows you to save something, the Scribble n Play is definitely made for a younger audience. You should be able to write or draw on the Scribble n Play with anything like your … [Read more...] about The Scribble n’ Play from Boogie Board
Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 1: Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds
I have reviewed a lot of Jabra products in the past, and I am pleased to review another with the Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds.

I am told that the Jabra Halo Smart … [Read more...] about Hands-on Review of Jabra, Part 1: Halo Smart Wireless Earbuds
Hands on with the Thinium ReCHARGE+
I think that the Thinium ReCHARGE+ is very close to another product that I just reviewed this week with the Prong. This particular charger is not made to be a charger and case, but is a decent enough mobile battery. This is the Thinium ReCHARGE+, and it is made for micro USB Android phones. I've been noticing a particular trend in mobile batteries to have these prongs … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Thinium ReCHARGE+
iHome for the Holidays, Part 3: iHome Wireless Bluetooth Speaker or iBT9
Okay, so it is time to conclude our iHome review products for the holiday with a product that isn't going out of style anytime soon, the wireless, waterproof, and shockproof Bluetooth speaker. That's about the best name I can give this product, besides its name of iBT9. I'll just get this out of the way and say that I have seen this product before from Fugoo and others, … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 3: iHome Wireless Bluetooth Speaker or iBT9
Reticare Protectors on Screens Reduce Eye Damage
Okay, it is time to talk about something potentially uncomfortable. The issue is that we are living in a world of screens on our smartphones, tablets, and computers, but we are not thinking about the effect of it. Fortunately, there is Reticare. I first encountered Reticare at CES 2016, and I allowed the spokesperson the time it took to discuss the problem with our … [Read more...] about Reticare Protectors on Screens Reduce Eye Damage
iHome for the Holidays, Part 2: iHome FIT Wireless or iB73 Earbuds
Well, it is now the second day of the iHome holidays with the iHome Fit Wireless. This product, also known as the iB73, is one of those Bluetooth 4.0 earbuds that goes around the neck. Granted, it is probably not the first Bluetooth product of its type for iHome, and these type of models are being phased out by the wireless earbuds that will be the thing to have in 2017. … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 2: iHome FIT Wireless or iB73 Earbuds
Brydge 12.9: Keyboard for the 12.9-inch Version iPad
I have reviewed Brydge products before, and they make some really terrific keyboards for the iPad. There are a lot of keyboards made for tablets, and this has some special clamps made to hold an iPad. I was pleased to try out the Brydge for the 12.9 inch iPad Pro. Other than the bigger width, I wasn't certain what I was expecting. The 12.9 inch iPad Pro fits right in … [Read more...] about Brydge 12.9: Keyboard for the 12.9-inch Version iPad
iHome for the Holidays, Part 1: Vanity Speaker or iHome iCVBT5
Ah, yes, there is nothing like iHome for the Holidays. I have reviewed many iHome products many a time. So many times, that I just don't feel like putting in hyperlinks. I'm going to close out this week with three different iHome products, and I'm going to start with the most unusual: the iHome Vanity Speaker or iCVBT5. The iCVBT5 is essentially made to be that one … [Read more...] about iHome for the Holidays, Part 1: Vanity Speaker or iHome iCVBT5

It's hard to believe that we are living in a time where anyone can have their own personal security system, and products like the Netatmo Presence make it very affordable.

Yes, all that white space on the Presence is made to be a floodlight, and it is … [Read more...] about Netatmo, Part 1: The Presence
Nite Ize Products, Part 1: PowerKey, QuikStand, Steelie Vent Mount, and Steelie Freemount
Today, I'm going to be reviewing a lot of Nite Ize products, and they are some definite products that are worth having. I'll start with the PowerKey. I realize that this looks like an ordinary keychain, and it could easily be used as one. However, what you don't see is that this thing is a charging/sync cord. The PowerKey Mini Power Cord is made to just join with a USB … [Read more...] about Nite Ize Products, Part 1: PowerKey, QuikStand, Steelie Vent Mount, and Steelie Freemount
