Some of you might remember when we reported on the Flygrip, which is a device that adheres to the back of the phone so you can hold it easily in between two fingers. The Mobigrip is like that, but the user only uses one finger. As you can see in the picture, the user loops his or her finger around Mobigrip, and the disk part on the Mobigrip adheres to the phone. That is … [Read more...] about Mobigrip makes certain you don’t drop your phone

Mobelisk MoGo Chimera is poised to change everything
Generally, I don't like to say that a product can change everything unless I truly believe it to be true. In the case of the Mobelisk MoGo Chimera, I really believe that the potential for it is amazing. Now I know you are looking at this picture and thinking: "So what, it is a tablet with handles". While iPad and other tablet companies have truly opened our eyes to what … [Read more...] about Mobelisk MoGo Chimera is poised to change everything
Hercules Holder: A simple solution to a pestering problem
While I am at CTIA this week, I am seeing a lot of simple solutions to pestering problems. One of them is how we use our cellular phones in the car. If you are like me, then you put your smartphone in the cup-holder of your car, because this is really the only place it can go. For some reason, only newer models of cars are addressing the fact that some people use their … [Read more...] about Hercules Holder: A simple solution to a pestering problem
Gevey Box presents the Umbrella case for the iPhone 5
There is a huge market for creating smartphone cases that will stand the pressure of life. Companies like Otterbox seem to make cases that stand up to the "big four" of snow, shock, water, and dust. I saw a company at CTIA known as GeveyBox, and they have an iPhone 5 case that is appropriately named The Umbrella. It protects against the aforementioned "big four", and I … [Read more...] about Gevey Box presents the Umbrella case for the iPhone 5
Clear-coat’s Aurora gives a smartphone a futuristic gold-chrome look

Tarot is the world’s smallest smartphone battery charger
I have seen some pretty small mobile phone battery chargers before, and the smallest has been the one by Devotec which is a little larger than a quarter. I believe the Devotec one is a Kickstarter project, but the Tarot is available now. The Tarot, which I can only assume is named after the cards, is about the size of a credit card. It is somewhat thick at 0.28, which is … [Read more...] about Tarot is the world’s smallest smartphone battery charger
Devotec develops the world’s smallest cell phone charger
Okay, I am now officially declaring "Kickstarter Day", as this is the third crowdfunded project that I am covering today. Devotec has created a mobile phone charger, and this isn't really unique, because a lot of companies do this. In fact, I'm a little tired of putting a link to Mophie or whatever company I can think of. This charger, simply known as "Fuel" is the … [Read more...] about Devotec develops the world’s smallest cell phone charger
Finders Key Purse Phone Pouch keeps you from digging for your phone
Some of us, possibly of the female persuasion, carry around large handbags which eventually get full of clutter. Personally, I believe that the purse and accessories world was unprepared for the mobile revolution. This Finders Key Purse (get it, it sounds like Finders Keepers) is essentially a way to make sure that the mobile phone stays on top of the clutter in the … [Read more...] about Finders Key Purse Phone Pouch keeps you from digging for your phone
