Kew Labs UTS-1 Wireless Charger review – Invisible wireless charging

KUTS 01

REVIEW – Wireless chargers are here to stay and we’ve reviewed countless here at the Gadgeteer. Usually they are stands, pucks, catchalls or some combination. Or maybe they charge multiple devices at once and as a result take up some real estate. But what if it didn’t take up any space at all? At least […]

bitplay Wander iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro case review

BPWC 01

REVIEW – I’ve been fascinated with bitplay for a while now. To date their cases have been focused on photography and use with their premium lenses. The Wander Case is a bit different and built for getting out and about. For most companies that means drop protection. While bitplay has drop protection covered well, they’ve

Element Case Black Ops X3 iPhone 12 Pro case review

EBOC 01

REVIEW – The Black Ops case from Element Case has been on my want list from their first version which I believe was for iPhone 5. It’s always been expensive and has frequently used exotic materials or had unique accessories. Needless to say when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at the chance to review

Satechi 100w USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger review

SCGC 01

REVIEW – Laptop chargers can be annoying. They’re usually larger than you’d like and if not they are either proprietary or have a single USB-C cable or port for your laptop. What if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way? That’s Satechi’s approach with their 100w USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger. Sound

Jackyled Wide-Spaced Power Strip review

JLPS 01

REVIEW – Do you have enough power strips? I’m almost always going to say no. There are just so many things to connect, and charge, and extend for the right placement. Over here in the Bay Area we’ve been dealing with PG&E’s rolling, planned power outages due to the overwhelming wildfires this year. The Wide-Spaced

Real Graphene G-Lite Series 5,000 mAh 60W Power Bank review

RGGL 10

REVIEW – Still thinking all power banks are the same. I can’t say that beyond the adage “the best powerbank is the one you have with you” I haven’t also found most of them to be pretty darn similar other than form and maybe a unique feature. Well, Real Graphene’s new G-Lite 60 Power Bank

Aukey Graphite Trio Wireless Fast Charger review – All aboard!

AQ10 01

REVIEW – There’s a few key places around the house where it’s super handy to be able to charge your devices. Aside from the bedside table where charging (especially an Apple Watch) is a requirement for me, there are definitely other places you may want to charge up. The living room is one of those

Fender Play review and a Player Series Firemist Gold Mustang® too!

FPLY 01

REVIEW – What’s something on your bucket list that you can tackle without traveling? What’s that? You said you’d learn to play guitar, bass or ukulele? Well, Fender’s Play app can help you cross that one off in whatever time increments you can devote. Fender was gracious enough to not only give us access to
