I must say that there are a lot of products that I have seen for months, but finally get a chance to try for myself. I believe that I saw the Dart at CES 2016 last January, and I faintly remember seeing it at CES 2015. Of course, I could be mistaken, but this is the FINsix Dart, which is the world's smallest laptop charger. I'll go ahead and talk about its main purpose. … [Read more...] about FINsix Dart, the “World’s Smallest Laptop Charger”

M-EDGE Part 2: Folio Pro for 7-8 inch Tablets, Shockdrop Case for the iPad Pro, and the Sport Case for the Surface Pro 4
Well, I am going to conclude my M-EDGE review with three products that are cases and/or folios. I'll go ahead and start with the Folio, with the Folio Pro that fits most 7-8 inch tablets. Most of you are familiar with how the folio works. It is a device that allows a tablet or even smartphone to be mounted on it, and Bluetooth makes it possible for you to type on your … [Read more...] about M-EDGE Part 2: Folio Pro for 7-8 inch Tablets, Shockdrop Case for the iPad Pro, and the Sport Case for the Surface Pro 4
STM Part 1: The Haven 15-inch Laptop Backpack
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
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
Nite Ize Products, Part 2: Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern, INOVA STS Powerswitch, and NiteHowl Glowing Collar
Okay, this is our second day in a row looking at Nite Ize products, and today we are going to discuss the ones that glow. I will start with the Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern. The Nite Ize Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern has a one button operation. By clicking it once, you will get a bright white light, and clicking it a few more time will turn the luminousity down. … [Read more...] about Nite Ize Products, Part 2: Radiant 300 Rechargeable Lantern, INOVA STS Powerswitch, and NiteHowl Glowing Collar
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
Native Union Anchor Cable
I will say that when Native Union makes a product, they are very good about making it as classy as possible. For example, they did an Android (micro USB) charging/sync cable with the POWERLink. They also made these CLIC Marble cases for the iPhone 6/6S, and it just feels like something rich people would have. I had a terrific time with the Anchor Cable made for Apple … [Read more...] about Native Union Anchor Cable
Hands-on with the Lifeprint
The Lifeprint is a device that I have written about before. I first saw it when I was at CES last January, and I thought it was hands-down the coolest thing that was at the show. Instead of doing my normal shtick of showing a still shot of the device itself, I felt it was just much better to show this promo video from Lifeprint instead. What began as a crowdfunded … [Read more...] about Hands-on with the Lifeprint
LAZY-HANDS Grips for Phones and Tablets
Hopefully, we will be reporting on CES 2017 soon, but I want to emphasize how important it is to go to every corner of CES. I actually believe that the first stop was at a booth for LAZY-HANDS Grips, and I finally got a chance to do a hands-on review. Yes, it is a bad joke to say that, but I had a chance to try out two of their products, and I will start with the one for … [Read more...] about LAZY-HANDS Grips for Phones and Tablets
Our Review of the Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard
I have reviewed a lot of Matias products in the past. I remember them for the Quiet Pro, which types a lot quieter than the keyboard that I use on my desktop now. Today, I'm trying out the Matias Wireless Aluminum kebyoard, and it is also a good product. I'm going to just say this, as it just looks like an Apple keyboard. This is appearing to look by design, and it comes … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Matias Wireless Aluminum Keyboard
Henge Docks Clique for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad
It has been a while since I have reviewed a Henge Docks product, the last time was with the Gravitas and then the Vertical Docking Station. I decided to use this picture to illustrate what the Clique does. Basically, this is essentially a stand made to hold Apple's Wireless Keyboard with the Magic Trackpad (1st Generation). This is an issue for people who have this, and … [Read more...] about Henge Docks Clique for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Trackpad
LoDo Large Backpack from Case Logic
We have had a lot of fun reviewing Case Logic products before, and the last time was the Kontrast DSLR Camera Bag. We are now going to review another device made for holding with the LoDo Large Backpack, made for holding some kind of 15.6-inch laptop. Not only can you hold a laptop in there, but there is a pocket there for an iPad there as well. There is a mesh pocket … [Read more...] about LoDo Large Backpack from Case Logic
Ditto Wearable Does Wonders for Notifications from a Distance
The issues with having a smartphone is that you can get filled to the brim with notifications. With all the the texts, alarms, and emails that you can get, you will probably enter into your phone with quite a bit to see before you can access your favorite apps. You could shell out a few hundred dollars for a smartwatch, or you could just pay a fraction of the cost for … [Read more...] about Ditto Wearable Does Wonders for Notifications from a Distance
Nomad Leather Strap for the Apple Watch
Well, we just had a chance to review the Nomad Leather Wallet for the iPhone, and I suppose that it is only justified that we review the Leather Strap for the Apple Watch. Yeah, because its Leather and made for Apple, right? Okay, I don't really think they are that much related. However, I haven't had too much chance to review a lot of Apple Watch products, but it looks … [Read more...] about Nomad Leather Strap for the Apple Watch
MOXYO Products: Avenue Premium Earbuds, USB Portable Powerbank, and Mia Lightning Cables
I've had a great chance to review some great products from MOXYO, and I'm going to talk about three this time, but I am hoping that I can review more, as this appears to be quite a company. We'll start with the Avenue earbuds. In case you are wondering why it is called the Avenue, it is apparently a reference to the Avenues of downtown Salt Lake City. Yeah, I don't … [Read more...] about MOXYO Products: Avenue Premium Earbuds, USB Portable Powerbank, and Mia Lightning Cables
