Sure, everyone needs a charging cable for their iPhone, and I think it is very interesting that you can make a good business out of it. I had a chance to try out the Neet Sleeve + Authentic Apple Lightning Cable, and it is the best charging cable since that cool, glow-in-the-dark Color Cable that I reviewed the other day. I first encountered Neet products at CES, when … [Read more...] about Neet Sleeve + Authentic Apple Lightning Cable

PhoneSuit Elite Battery Case for the iPhone 5/5S
I wasn't really expecting to review the PhoneSuit Elite, but I was pleased to try it out. It is very similar to the Lifecharge from Ontrion, as the PhoneSuit and Lifecharge are both mobile batteries and cases for the iPhone 5/5S. According to the PhoneSuit website, it "doubles the power of the iPhone 5/5S providing enough energy to get you through up to 2 days of usage … [Read more...] about PhoneSuit Elite Battery Case for the iPhone 5/5S
Check out this holographic iPhone design!
Now that the Galaxy S 5 will be released in April, and the iPhone 6 is most definitely on its way, I don't know what more we can do with phones that hasn't been done before. I mean, do we need to see more of the "oh, it's a complete touchscreen" model that has been done to death since the first version of the iPhone? Perhaps this concept model shows where smartphones are … [Read more...] about Check out this holographic iPhone design!
Hands on with the Sound Pockets iPhone cases
As you may know, I tend to report on products that solve a need that I never knew that I had. Such is the case of the Sound Pockets, made for the iPhone 5/5S. In this case, it is a storage case for the earbuds that is also a case. You can see in the image how you can wind the earbuds around this special thing, and a lid opens to keep them in there. Why would you want … [Read more...] about Hands on with the Sound Pockets iPhone cases
Griffin Merchant Case and Square Reader for the iPhone 5
I have reviewed a lot of Griffin products before, and I was pleased to see that they had some interesting products for the iPhone 5. Their most recent is the Merchant Case and Square Reader, and it is a silicone case with a Square Reader. If you don't know what a Square Reader is, it is a mobile payment plan that allows mobile users to accept payment from credit cards … [Read more...] about Griffin Merchant Case and Square Reader for the iPhone 5
The Safe5 Waterproof iPhone 5 case from Outdoor Technology
I have reviewed a lot of waterproof cases for the iPhone 5 as well as other smartphones, but I really have to admire the Safe5 for the iPhone 5. When it comes to reviewing cases like these, there is usually only one issue: how long and how deep can you hold it underwater? The answer for the Safe5 is that it is IPX-7 rated, so it is waterproof up to three feet for thirty … [Read more...] about The Safe5 Waterproof iPhone 5 case from Outdoor Technology
Incipio ATLAS ID Waterproof Ultra-Rugged Case for the iPhone 5
I am not going to deny that I have reported on several products from Incipio in the past, and I have reported on several products such as these in past reviews. I have to admit that it has all the protection that I thought it would. For example, it has protection against water, shock, and dust. It also has a revolutionary one-year limited warranty to cover accidental … [Read more...] about Incipio ATLAS ID Waterproof Ultra-Rugged Case for the iPhone 5
Mag Cat iPhone 5 case from EKUSA
I am no stranger to EKUSA products, as I have reviewed the Dri Cat and Speak Easy from the company before. I recently got a chance to try out the Mag Cat, for the iPhone 5/5S. I believe that the Mag Cat is designed for those car-guys. You can see that the basic frame looks like a hubcab, and you might not be able to see this, but the edges are like tires. You can feel … [Read more...] about Mag Cat iPhone 5 case from EKUSA
Scentee Smartphone Scent Emitter
I think we know that there are all kinds of iPhone accessories, and this one is the Scentee. The Scentee is similar to the Luxi in that it fits into that headphone jack, as opposed to the Lightning port connector. This one is not designed to emit a flash, but a scent. That is right, this is made to emit a scent. In this case, it is made for rose, lavender, coffee, … [Read more...] about Scentee Smartphone Scent Emitter
ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 from Hard Candy Cases
I might as well make a disclaimer: this ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 is so similar to the Drop Case from Gumdrop Cases, that I am pretty certain they are just made by the same people. In this case, the rugged silicone skin bears more of a resemblance to underneath a tire rather than a tennis shoe sole. It has 6 mm of silicon shock for the four corners, and it has 3 mm … [Read more...] about ShockDrop Case for the iPhone 5 from Hard Candy Cases
Drop Tech Color Case from GumDrop Cases
I am declaring today "candy day" as I will be officially reviewing three products from Hard Candy/Gumdrop. I'm not certain if these companies are under the same umbrella, but I will have to say that they are remarkably similar. More on that later. I'll start with the Drop Tech Color Case. The Case has a texture that resembles the bottom of a tennis shoe, and it is a … [Read more...] about Drop Tech Color Case from GumDrop Cases
Izzi Orbit Pro gives the iPhone four different lenses
The Izzi Orbit Pro is very similar to products from OlloClip, as it is essentially giving your iPhone four different lenses. You can do some quick research about the 3-in-1 or the 4-in-1 at those links. You will note that Olloclip has lenses that you can screw on, but the Izzi Orbit Pro has a handy system for spinning them in place using the patented peripheral motion … [Read more...] about Izzi Orbit Pro gives the iPhone four different lenses
Linkase Pro for the iPhone 5/5S from Absolute Technology
When you review cases for smartphones, it is difficult to tell one from the other. The Halo and Ontrion cases that I reviewed last week give more battery life, but this Linkase Pro is made for boosting the 3G + WiFi signal. That's right, this is a cell phone case that is designed to boost the signal of a phone. I am not certain if this has been done before, but it uses … [Read more...] about Linkase Pro for the iPhone 5/5S from Absolute Technology
Lifecharge for the iPhone 5 from Ontrion
I suppose today might just be battery case day, as I just finished reviewing Lenmar's Halo for the Galaxy S 4. Now, a product that is almost alike, the Lifecharge for the iPhone 5, made by Ontrion. Like the mobile battery, I usually talk about how I have seen a product like this before. I will admit that it does have the four traditional blue LED lights to show how much … [Read more...] about Lifecharge for the iPhone 5 from Ontrion
Luxi incident light meter attachment for the iPhone 5
I will start by saying that I am probably not the best person here to review this product. This is the Luxi, a diffusion dome for the iPhone's front facing camera. For those who are not aware of what a diffusion dome is, it uses the light from the flash to send some of the light straight to the subject while scattering the rest upward and around 360 degrees, which greatly … [Read more...] about Luxi incident light meter attachment for the iPhone 5
