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 [...]

As I’ve said before, I do like a quirky case for my electronics. The IH-IM1106 Composition Book Case for iPad mini from iHome certainly meets the quirky criteria. It’s about the same size and certainly has the same appearance as those composition notebooks so familiar to school children. You could even fill in the label [...]

When I first try a new gadget, it can take me a while to finally find the case I prefer for it. That’s been true for my iPad mini, too. When I got that first iPad years ago, I wanted a back cover that was clear, to let the beauty of the aluminum back show [...]

With the exception of my cellphone, no other gadget spends more time in my hand than my Nexus 7. I use it for gaming, email, web surfing, social media engagement, music, videos, RSS reader, Skyping, and as a bedtime alarm clock. I am always looking for accessories for it. Kinda like those people who are [...]

Julie and I were talking over the holiday about cases for the iPad mini, and she mentioned that Apple wasn’t making a version of their Smart Case to fit the iPad mini. I told her I had tried one for my full-sized iPad and couldn’t return it quickly enough because it was ill-fitting and had [...]

I’ve always had minimal cases on my iPads, and I’ve always liked keeping the iPad as sleek as possible. However, that means I usually need a sleeve when I want to put the iPad in my bag to protect the iPad from being scratched by the other stuff in the bag. I had contemplated buying [...]

Check out Ebay and you’ll find a plethora of cheap cases for your Nexus 7, like the Smart Magnetic case I initially purchased. Disappointingly, both the original and replacement eBay cases broke in the same place after a couple of months, so my search continued. On the other end of the spectrum are Noreve’s “haute couture” leather cases, which [...]

It appears the potential job that required me to purchase an iPad mini has fallen through, but I’m never giving up the mini now that I have it. Now begins the fun, never-ending search for the perfect case or cover for the mini. I just can’t decide if I want to use the mini cased [...]

Regular readers of The Gadgeteer will be no strangers to Saddleback Leather products. You probably wouldn’t consider their leather products as haute couture, but rather as hardwearing and functional pieces. (Their motto is “They’ll fight over it when you’re dead.” ) While I didn’t specifically purchase their Medium Gadget Pouch for my Google Nexus 7, [...]

You’ve probably seen the update that Apple gave their iPod nano. They added a lot – bigger screen, videos, Bluetooth – but they made the body bigger and took away the clip. It’s too big to wear on a watchband now, and without a clip, you can’t attach it to your clothes, either. HardCandy has [...]
