We are definitely no stranger to portable batteries here at TheGeekChurch.com. It seems like we get one every week, the last one being the ET-NP056K, fourth in our Eagle Trilogy. At this point, I am going to go with the usual anecdote of how we have had our mobile devices run out of power at an inopportune moment, and we all need that extra bit of juice, and we all need a … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Battery Porter 5200 and 8000, from Digital Foci

Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
This device is very interesting as we live in an era where we just don't want ourselves to be tracked via WiFi, cellular, and GPS signals. Imagine if there was just a pouch that would allow you to put a phone in, and it would be immune to all those aforementioned signals. This is exactly the OFF Pocket's purpose, as it is made up of metalized fibers to block all those … [Read more...] about Keep yourself undisturbed with the Off Pocket
You can take your laptop lying down
Okay, for about a year I worked at home, on my daughter's bed that I used as an office. That was a weird time, and I don't know why it took me so long to just put a desk in my own bedroom and call it good. My point is that a lot of people work from their laptop on their bed, and this Laying Down Laptop Stand is made for them. As you can see, you can angle it so your laptop … [Read more...] about You can take your laptop lying down
Hands-on with the iLuv MobiOut
I realize my saying "iLuv MobiOut", it sounds like I am saying I love MobiOut. In this case, it is quite true. I definitely like to review iLuv products, like the Aud5. This MobiOut looks like the Braven 570 that we reviewed last week, and it has very similar features. It is a Bluetooth speaker with controls on top, but an added bonus is Jump-Start technology, which means … [Read more...] about Hands-on with the iLuv MobiOut
eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
For some reason, I have been reviewing a lot of smartphone stands which involve sticking them there. I have no idea who makes this sticky stuff, but I have seen it in so many places. Recent examples include the Zyroshell Phone Cradle and the TYLT Capio with NFC. The eleMount is unique as it has stick parts on both ends. These elePads can stick to any flat surface, and … [Read more...] about eleMount is made to stick to the phone, and anyplace else
GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
I always get excited when I see devices from science fiction become reality. This is probably why I see a need to report on any device that looks like it came from out of Minority Report. In the case of the GoCuff, it is a holder that fits on the sleeve designed for a smartphone. What science fiction book or film is this from? Why, my own, of course. All right, this is a … [Read more...] about GoCuff could be the new way of smartphones
zBoost Metro Cell Booster
It really is all about the bars these days, and if you don't have them, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a cell phone, doesn't it? Fortunately, a company known as zBoost has come to the rescue. I had a chance to try out the the zBoost Metro, which is made for consumers in single story urban settings. It is designed for people who live in 1,500 square feet areas like … [Read more...] about zBoost Metro Cell Booster
Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
I have recently done a lot of reviews of Lifeproof products lately, such as the fre for the iPad. I have also reviewed the nüüd for iPad and I have now tried out the Galaxy S III. One of the things about the nüüd is that it is nude. Even though it is made to be waterproof and dustproof, there is nothing really protecting the touchscreen. Seriously, I thought I had mis-read … [Read more...] about Lifeproof nüüd for the Galaxy S III
LG unveils the G2 QuickWindow Case
I don't know about you, I have a case with a cover that allows me to close up my Galaxy S III. I think that most of us should get something like that just to protect our valuable touchscreen, and LG is prepared for this. The big LG is announcing a QuickWindow Case for their new phone the LG G2. The case essentially has a hole in the case that is a window for the LG G2 in … [Read more...] about LG unveils the G2 QuickWindow Case
Air Clicker Camera requires no camera or smartphone to work
If you have ever used your fingers to take an imaginary picture of something, then you are getting why the Air Clicker Camera was invented. The Air Clicker is a Bluetooth enabled camera lens that has a motion sensor shutter button on two kinds of bands. All you need to do is just put your fingers in the right positions, and do a click gesture. I have no idea if you will … [Read more...] about Air Clicker Camera requires no camera or smartphone to work
Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Some of you might remember when I covered the Epic from Celluon Store, a laser-projected keyboard that you can type on for a smartphone or tablet. Now the Dex Type wants to take the concept of typing on a tabletop keyboard and remove the keyboard. As you can see in the image, the user is simply moving his or her fingers, and then the proper letters and numbers will … [Read more...] about Dex Type allows you to type on nothing
Dri Cat Waterproof case for the Galaxy S III/IV from EK USA
I suppose that I could have called this EK USA, part 2, as it deals with another Neck it (not "naked") accessory for smartphones. This is the Dri Cat, a waterproof case. I had a chance to try out the Galaxy S III model, and I did a test with some paper, like I did with the DiCAPac. It passed the test, and it protects the phone as well. You can dip your phone into the … [Read more...] about Dri Cat Waterproof case for the Galaxy S III/IV from EK USA
Wyers presents Band-Era iPhone 5 case
This is one of those times where the simplest of ideas really works for the user. For those who have an iPhone attached to their hand might as well have an iPhone attached to their hand. Wyers Protective case is described as "revolutionary", and I somewhat agree with that. The strap on the back can go between your fingers, which gives you a terrific one-handed control of … [Read more...] about Wyers presents Band-Era iPhone 5 case
Speak Easy for the iPhone 5 from EK USA
According to the box for the i5 Speak Easy Neck it (that's "neck it" not "naked"), an iPhone is lost every five second. This means that by the time you read this sentence, and iPhone is now lost. Hopefully, it wasn't yours. The i5 Speak Easy comes with a lanyard attachment that is easily detachable at the touch of a button. In case you are worried about the strength of … [Read more...] about Speak Easy for the iPhone 5 from EK USA
Panavise PortaGrip with Suction Cup Mount, in two forms
I have tried out Panavise products before, and I find that they are quite good. I was very pleased to try out the Porta-Grip In-vehicle Phone Holder, and it is a good way to keep your phone near where you need it while you drive. I was lucky to try out two of their models. The first is the PortaGrip with 709B Suction Cup Mount, and it has a telescoping arm that extends to … [Read more...] about Panavise PortaGrip with Suction Cup Mount, in two forms
