As someone who takes frequent trips, I have found that the lighter your carry-on is, the better. One problem I had with leaving my laptop at home was losing the ability to use a keyboard. I have tried a keyboard case for my iPad before and didn’t like it, but I was given the opportunity [...]

I am forever spoiled ever since I installed the Spigen tempered glass screen protector on my iPhone 5, I have determined that I will NEVER go back to plastic screen protection for my smart-devices. Sadly, Spigen’s selection is rather limited at the moment, and I needed to look elsewhere for high-end screen protectors for my [...]

I’m a gearhead (or petrolhead, depending on your region). I’m also an iPhone owner. When id America produced the Gasket V8 case that combines the love for both, I had to take a look.

Most cases for tech gear have a certain “look”. Whether it’s made of fabric or leather, you can usually tell at a glance that the bag or case contains tech gear inside. That’s fine, if you don’t mind having a bag that advertises “expensive gear in here!” If you prefer to camouflage your gear a [...]

Like it or not, iPads have become ubiquitous. We see them everywhere, in food courts in the hands of toddlers, in schools, as cash registers in coffee shops and restaurants, and in that last bastion of low tech, the business boardroom.
