I don't know about you, but I always liked paper airplanes. I got pretty bored with them, because as good as a paper airplane is, it will never be like a real airplane. Now here comes the PowerUp 3.0. It has a device with a Smart Module, which has a small propeller and rudder that you can put on your plane for some extra oomph in your flight. Now I don't know whether or … [Read more...] about Paper airplanes get a smartphone treatment with PowerUp 3.0

Digital Treasures The Soldier: A Battery to survive anything
I have reported about products like Lifeproof which are designed to protect the iPhone or other smartphones from water, dust, and the elements, but what about the mobile battery? Yes, I am talking about products like the Magic Juice and others. Oftentimes, these mobile batteries, which are needed by smartphone users on a daily basis, need as much protection as our … [Read more...] about Digital Treasures The Soldier: A Battery to survive anything
Mobee Products, Part 2: The Magic Feet and Magic Numpad
Well, this is our second round for reviewing Mobee products, and I am pleased to review two other items that have their "Magic" label on them. I will start with the Magic Feet, and it is designed to charge both the Apple Magic Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard (or Apple Magic Trackpad) simultaneously. It has an interesting design with a shape that I am having a hard time … [Read more...] about Mobee Products, Part 2: The Magic Feet and Magic Numpad
J5Create Part 2: The JUE130, JUA210, and JUA310
In addition to the J5Create stuff that I recently reviewed last time, I thought I should take the time to review three other products that the company has sent me as well. The first is the USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet. This is essentially for any laptop or other kind of computer that doesn't have an Ethernet port. Now, I am taking that from the company website, as I thought … [Read more...] about J5Create Part 2: The JUE130, JUA210, and JUA310
J5 Create Part 1: Ultra Station JUD500 and Wormhole USB Transfer Cable JUC400
Let's face it, we all want to do more on our laptops. It feels like I am always running out of USB ports, but thanks to the J5Create Ultra Station (JUD500), this isn't much of a problem anymore. You can see in the image here the bar that is this power station, and it is pretty impressive what it will give an ordinary laptop. It has two USB 3.0 Ports, a USB 2.0 port, a … [Read more...] about J5 Create Part 1: Ultra Station JUD500 and Wormhole USB Transfer Cable JUC400
Mobee Products, Part 1: The Magic Juice and Magic Charger
Yeah, we are doing another Part 1 and such, and this is really worth it with Mobee products. Today, I'll be discussing the Mobee Magic Juice and Magic Charger. Yeah, I'm not certain why "Magic" is in their title either. I will have to say that the Magic Juice is a product that I have seen before. I'm sure that you all know the drill by now, as you charge it via USB … [Read more...] about Mobee Products, Part 1: The Magic Juice and Magic Charger
Joby Action Series Day, Part 2: GorillaPod Action Tripod
Come on, you knew this was coming. I just had a Joby Action Series Day, Part 1 with the Action Clamp + Gorilla Arm, so the inevitable Part 2 was just around the corner, and on the same day. This is the GorillaPod Action Tripod, and like the Action Clamp + Gorilla Arm, it is made for the GoPro Camera. Again, I see little point in explaining what a GoPro camera is. As … [Read more...] about Joby Action Series Day, Part 2: GorillaPod Action Tripod
Joby Action Series Day, Part 1: Action Clamp + GorillaPod Arm
As you can see, we are having a Joby Action Series Day here at TheGeekChurch. Why not? We had headphones day last Friday. If you don’t know about Joby, they are very famous for their flexible type of mounting that you see in the image here, an award-winning Gorillapod. Their flexible tripods and other accessories really come in handy for times when you want to put a … [Read more...] about Joby Action Series Day, Part 1: Action Clamp + GorillaPod Arm
Incipio Ghost Charging for the Galaxy S4
Yes, I have certainly reviewed a lot of Incipio products, such as the Stowaway and the Stashback. This particular product is the Ghost Charging for the Samsung Galaxy S4, and "the only product like it on the market". What makes it so unique is that it is a wireless charging cover for those that have the Powermat. If you aren't familiar with the Powermat, it is a wireless … [Read more...] about Incipio Ghost Charging for the Galaxy S4
Sphero 2.0 rolls out the fun
Sphero by Orbotix is one of those products that you really should have heard about by now, because it is so awesomely cool. If you haven't, here is a general idea: imagine a ball that you can control its rolling with the use of an iPad, iPhone, or other Android smartphone. I have seen the Sphero at conventions for years, and I finally got a chance to try one out. This is … [Read more...] about Sphero 2.0 rolls out the fun
Hiku Grocery Scanner
I am always looking for ways to technologically update things that we have been doing for a long time. Grocery shopping is as old as grocery stores, and most of us still use the same system to shop. Granted, some of us can text a grocery list, and this is about the only update from pen and paper. Still, I would much rather have an easy to make grocery list that I just … [Read more...] about Hiku Grocery Scanner
TopCor Sport Armband
Some of you might remember my review of the Topcor Tech Wallet, and I will have to say that it is a benefit to have a wallet that you can just rip off from the back of your phone. In the same manner, the Armband is a very simple way of affixing your phone to your arm. In this case, it works with a little application of Velcro. Actually, I have been informed that the … [Read more...] about TopCor Sport Armband
Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part Two: Trina Turk and the Loot
Even though I just covered the Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio, now I am about to go into other M-EDGE products. I am going to start with two products both designed by Trina Turk. I am not certain who Trina Turk is. Every once in a while, I see mobile phone accessories designed by some famous designer, and I always feel kind of dumb asking who it is. From what I have … [Read more...] about Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part Two: Trina Turk and the Loot
Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part One: The Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio
I have seen a lot of terrific M-EDGE products in the past, and I am pleased to review more of them, starting with the Universal StealthPro Keyboard Foio. Made for 10 inch tablets that include all versions of the iPad, the Galaxy Note 10.1, the Google Nexus, and the Kindle Fire HD 8.9. It has these bands on all of its four corners to hold whatever tablet that you can fit in … [Read more...] about Livin’ on the M-EDGE, Part One: The Universal StealthPro Keyboard Folio
The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen from Livescribe
I have reviewed a lot of smartpens in my time, and I feel they are designed for those who want to combine old-school with digital. The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen is one of them, and I had a chance to try it out. The first step to this smartpen is that you have to set up an account. From there, you can set it up with your Wi-Fi account to do all of its tricks. When I say … [Read more...] about The Sky Wi-Fi Smartpen from Livescribe
