My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
Our smartphones can really do a lot of things, but if you have to tighten a screw, there is no app for that. The IN1 case is like a Swiss army knife for smartphone cases, and it really is quite cool. Within the IN1 case are small versions of a blue pen, red pen, flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, nail file, tweezers, scissors, and toothpick. Now, you can flick … [Read more...] about My Review of the IN1 Case for the Galaxy S 5
