I always like when I get the chance to review some IK Multimedia products, and when it came time to review a keyboard from them, I jumped at the chance. The iRig Keys I/O 25 is named due to its 25 piano keys (which is about two octives), and it is a 25-key ultra-compact MIDI controller with input/output audio interface for the PC, Mac, iPhone and iPad. You can see the … [Read more...] about The iRig Keys I/O 25 by IK Multimedia

Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
It's been about two years since my last review of a Lander case, and I believe that they are owned by BGZ Brands, the same guys that do Bodyguardz. The Moab case from Lander came in Bodyguardz packaging, and this is a case that is designed to protect against the cold. I had to admit, I have been using my phone in the cold and felt that touchscreen was like the bottom of … [Read more...] about Lander’s Moab Case gives the iPhone protection from the cold
Bedol Squirt Water Clock
I'm not certain why I am reviewing the Bedol Squirt Water Clock, as I don't think there even is a market for alarm clocks anymore. Seriously, doesn't everyone just have an alarm on their smartphone? Still, I like the idea of creating an alarm clock that doesn't run on batteries or electricity. Using its technology, it can convert water into clean energy power. If you are … [Read more...] about Bedol Squirt Water Clock
Snakebyte Key:Board Ultra Hands-on Review
Every once in a while, I receive something in the mail/UPS/FedEx/DHL that I didn't expect, and so I feel a need to review it. This is what happened to me today with the Snakebyte Key:Board Ultra, and since this is a keyboard review, I feel compelled to type my review on it to get a better idea of what is going on. First of all, I need to talk about its arrangement. I am … [Read more...] about Snakebyte Key:Board Ultra Hands-on Review

For those who need a quick refresher, the Jimu Robot kits are these building kits similar to LEGO MINDSTORMS, and these creations can be programmed to do all kinds of things, with the controls being on the user's smartphone or tablet. The Jimu Robots Builderbots Kit I recently got a … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Jimu Robots BuilderBots Kit, plus a special book announcement!
Vibes Audio Baserox Modular Phone Case with Vibrox Sound Engine Bluetooth Speaker and Voltrox Power Bank
Today is a good day for a great review, and these products from Vibes Audio are something really fantastic. It isn't every day that I see products that are very useful, but this is up there with the Fingerpow Magnetic Charger. Vibes Audio Baserox Modular Phone Case I believe that this particular device is called the Baserox because it is the start of a base to build … [Read more...] about Vibes Audio Baserox Modular Phone Case with Vibrox Sound Engine Bluetooth Speaker and Voltrox Power Bank
TomTom GO 52 Navigation Unit
I'm going to go back in time to about a decade ago. I rented a car for CES 2008, and for some extra money, I could get a GPS unit. This was back in the days before everyone had a smartphone, and the unit that I was using was quite huge, too big for the glovebox. This was the days when companies like Garmin and TomTom were making a killing, and I thought that had ended when … [Read more...] about TomTom GO 52 Navigation Unit
The iRig Mic HD 2 High Digital Microphone from IK Multimedia
I have reviewed a lot of IK Multimedia products in the past before, and for some reason, I remember them for their microphones, particularly the iRig. In the past, I have reviewed the iRig Mic Sutdio, the iRig Mic Field, and the iRig Acoustic. But enough cross-references, let's talk about the latest is iRig Mic HD 2. Yes, apparently the iRig is an important brand from IK … [Read more...] about The iRig Mic HD 2 High Digital Microphone from IK Multimedia

It's time once again to re-visit one of my newest favorite companies with J5Create, as they make some high-quality and useful computer accessories. JUA 365 USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Multi-Monitor Adapter I would say that the JUA 365 has a function that you can easily see from its image, and I would be right. All you need to do is plug in the Dual HDMI monitor into a USB 3.0 … [Read more...] about J5Create Part 3: JUA 365 USB 3.0 to Dual HDMI Multi-Monitor Adapter, JCA 379 USB Type-C HDMI and USB 3.0 with Power Delivery, and JUC 100 Wormhole Switch
BodyGuardz Trainr Pro Case with Unequal Technology for the Apple iPhone 6/7/8
I've been reviewing a lot of BodyGuardz products lately, and this company does really provide quite a bit of protection from your smartphone. I was very interested in reviewing the BodyGuardz Trainr Pro Case, which I am told is compatible with the Apple iPhone 6/7/8.

Fingerpow Magnetic Charger is Quite Unique
Although we report on many Kickstarter projects, it isn't often on this website that we report on something that just achieved its funding. This is the case for the Fingerpow, and it is a recharger for mobile devices unlike any other. Actually, something tells me that other companies are going to look at this design, and copy it. What you are seeing there is a white … [Read more...] about Fingerpow Magnetic Charger is Quite Unique
TapHanger Makes It “Fun to Hang Picture Frames”
Okay, generally, I don't really review hand tools, but this is because there are so little change of them. I don't think the hammer has changed much since whenever it was invented, except maybe that claw thing. The TapHanger is made to challenge how you hang pictures. Here's how it works. The TapHanger comes with these double nails that you insert in this TapHanger … [Read more...] about TapHanger Makes It “Fun to Hang Picture Frames”
myCharge AdventureJumpStart, another mobile battery, but for your car!
One of the things that I like about myCharge is their ability to branch out. Normally, I see companies like this creating mobile batteries produce the same product that I review again and again. So the myCharge not only can create a mobile battery with a plug-in with the myCharge Adventure Ultra, but the AdventureJumpStart can be used as a car battery charger. Seriously, … [Read more...] about myCharge AdventureJumpStart, another mobile battery, but for your car!
Our Review of the Sengled Classic Kit A19
After reviewing that Sengled Pulse Solo stereo light bulb, I was anxious to see what the company also had. I had a great time reviewing the Sengled Element Classic Kit A19, and I'm going to tell you all about it. In fact, there is a funny story behind this. I asked to review the A19, which is a light bulb that you can take control of with your smartphone/tablet. … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Sengled Classic Kit A19
Our Review of the Mophie Wireless Charging Base
Oh man, it has been way too long since I reviewed a Mophie product! The last time was the Outride, and this company has been making some great stuff for a long time! Today, it something that I am very familiar with, the Wireless Charging Base. I'm sure that name should give you a more than adequate description. If you are somehow unfamiliar with a wireless charging … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Mophie Wireless Charging Base
