This spring, I upgraded from my first generation MacBook Air to a 13″ unibody MacBook. The only regret I had in the move was the loss of the i-volution Leather Suit I used to protect my MBAir. Vaja’s i-volution Leather Suit did an incredible job protecting my MBAir during the rigors/dangers of my very hectic lifestyle. I immediately wanted the same stellar protection for my new 13″ MacBook. Vaja, in their usual form, has created an equally stylish, form-fitting i-volution Leather Suit for the new unibody MacBooks; for the Air, 13″ and 15″ MacBook Pros…giving all but the 17″ MBPro stellar, full-time 24/7 protection. … [visit site to read more]

The Wrapsol protection system is a family of products that strive to wrap your various devices in a sheath of protecting film.

Several months ago, Julie sent me a couple leather iPhone cases to review.

A few years back my car was a SAAB 95 estate (station wagon). The 95 is perhaps not so large by US standards, but for most of us Europeans its a big beast. For vacations we really did not have to care about packing – we just threw everything in the back. For the last couple of months I’ve been living with a bag that’s a bit like this; the new Meta from Spire. The Meta is big; easily the biggest, baddest travel/gadget bag that I have. The composite photo below gives an idea of its size. I’m 1.88m (6’2”) tall. … [visit site to read more]

Flash memory cards has been around since 1990s starting with the PCMCIA format followed by smart media and compact flash formats.  Nowadays the common memory cards are compact flash, SD, memory stick, and xD.  The most popular one being SD (Secure Digital) which is widely used in digital camera, mobile phone, GPS, PDAs, media players, and even game consoles.  And I am sure many people have a whole bunch of SD cards lying around.  Since its size is as small as a postage stamp and even smaller in the miniSD/microSD format, many people tend to lose them or even damage the exposed contacts.  This is where the Pelican Memory Card Case comes in handy. … [visit site to read more]
