We have reviewed Wacom products more than once on this site, and I am always pleased to review their notepad products. When I mean notepad, I mean a place where you can write and draw with a stylus. Wacom has just announced the Bamboo Pad, and it is not a notepad kind of thing. This one is pretty small, only a little bigger than the size of one's hand. The Pad offers the … [Read more...] about Wacom unveils new Bamboo stylii and Pads

Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
You know how the iPhone has been avoiding Flash all those years? This includes a decent one for the camera. I suppose that you could purchase a Manfrotto KLYP that we discussed a few weeks ago, or the iblazr. The iblazr is a simple flash with four specially-made LEDs. From what I can tell, it plugs right into the headphone jack. You will want to use the App to get the … [Read more...] about Add a Flash to your smartphone with iblazr
ClicLite, a solar powered battery that can be daisy-chained
Solar power, it works! Yeah, I'm just going to assume that it isn't very efficient, or else we would have it everywhere, right? So right away, I'm going to talk about the downside of the ClicLite. It is a solar-powered battery that is 500 mAh, which is good for charging an iPhone to one-fifth of its capacity. The ClicLite is small enough to keep on a keychain, so if … [Read more...] about ClicLite, a solar powered battery that can be daisy-chained
The Petite Leather Wallet for the Galaxy S4 from More-Thing
I have reviewed products from More-Thing before, and I was pleased to receive, as a total surprise, the Petite Leather Wallet for the Samsung Galaxy S 4. This is definitely a product targeted at the ladies. You can see its orange/pink color scheme, and it has some multi-faceted stones made with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, about 35 of them to be exact. Yeah, they aren't diamonds, … [Read more...] about The Petite Leather Wallet for the Galaxy S4 from More-Thing
TuneBelt, for all kinds of mobile devices
The mobile lifestyle is really not designed to be mobile. Sure, you can have a phone that travels in the palm of your hand, but what good is it if it weighs you own while you are jogging? I highly recommend getting your hands on the Tune Belt for that. The Tune Belt isn't really a new idea, but like the case for the mobile phone, everybody needs one. It is essentially a … [Read more...] about TuneBelt, for all kinds of mobile devices

Let ChromaLuxe personalize your case for your mobile device
In case you are wondering, that is me with a a customized case. If you want to know, it was made by ChromaLuxe. I never heard of ChromaLuxe before they contacted me, but I was glad that they sent me some stuff to try out. That is a Fashion Frame for the Galaxy S III that I am holding in my hand, and it is a hard shell frame with a strategically-placed hole in it for a … [Read more...] about Let ChromaLuxe personalize your case for your mobile device

Now that I just got finished reviewing the offGRID from Incipio, I am now reviewing another battery case for the iPhone 5, this time from TYLT, another good tech company. Since I have already gone into the particulars about what a battery case can do, I will discuss what is unique about this. First, the case can easily be separated from the battery pack with ease. This … [Read more...] about Energi Sliding Power Case from TYLT
Incipio Part 5: offGRID Backup Battery Case
It seems that I have been seeing a lot of mobile batteries, such as my series on Digital Foci, and there are a lot of cases.

For my Fifth (but not necessarily last) article on Incipio, I'm covering the offGRID, a backup battery case from the company. This battery case … [Read more...] about Incipio Part 5: offGRID Backup Battery Case
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.

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
Universal Stealth 360 Case for 7-inch tablets from M-EDGE
This seems to be a time for me to review M-EDGE products, and after those two cases that I reviewed the other day, I was pleased to review the Universal Stealth 360. Like my reviews of cases, it is always hard to talk about tablet cases unless they are really unique. I will have to say that the Stealth 360 Case is quite unique in the sense it has three things that I have … [Read more...] about Universal Stealth 360 Case for 7-inch tablets from M-EDGE
The Echo and Enforcer Cases from M-Edge
I am definitely no stranger to anything M-EDGE. I have reviewed their cases and other accessories in the past, like the Incline and the Supershell. To me, the existence of M-EDGE proves to me that we live in a world where smartphone cases come and go like fashion. I had a chance to try out two of their cases, the Echo and the Enforcer. I'll go ahead and start with the … [Read more...] about The Echo and Enforcer Cases from M-Edge
Solar Porter 12 from Digital Foci
I found myself reviewing Digital Foci chargers this week, and I reviewed the two Battery Porters, the 5200 and 8000. This particular one is the Solar Porter 12, which relies on the power of the sun. Solar Chargers are kind of hit or miss, because I have heard that solar power isn't really efficient. I am assuming it isn't based on the fact there aren't more solar plants. … [Read more...] about Solar Porter 12 from Digital Foci
