When I recently received the Targus Versavu Keyboard and Case for iPad 2 for review, I also received a Targus Stylus at the same time. I thought I’d save the stylus for a separate review, and I thought it would be perfect for the series of holiday gift idea reviews Julie had planned. Let’s give […]

Julie has used a WaterField Design Wallet (see related posts at the bottom) for a few years now that she says is big enough to carry her ID and cards, some cash, and even her phone. She says it’s her go-to-lunch bag that she can just stick in her pocket. I wanted a wallet like

I recently told you about the biodegradable and compostable iPhone 4/4S case from the guys who gave us the iBend iPhone and iPad stands. The ecoSnap cases are made of organic (non-food crop) plant resins using sustainable manufacturing practices. They even have minimal, low-impact packaging. I thought the iBend was an ingenious stand, and I

Most of the watchband cases for the iPod nano have one thing in common – some part of the iPod comes into contact with your skin.

I saw a news report recently that said kids as young as 6 were requesting electronic devices for Christmas. When they’re still tiny, you can distract your kid with the pretend device that let’s them hear the kitty say “meow”, but eventually, they’re going to want a real device. Some MP3 players have built-in volume-limiting

When Julie and I recently reviewed the newest, cheapest Amazon Kindle e-Reader, I mentioned that I had ordered the lighted cover for it. The Kindle readers use eInk screens, which don’t have any backlighting. A lot of people say the more paper-like nature of eInk screens is easier on the eyes, but apparently their eyes

I love my iPad 2, but I have to admit that its speaker is lacking. I find myself cupping my hand around the back of the iPad 2 to try to redirect the sound to the front – where my ears are. The iSP210 MusicPac Portable Stereo Speaker Case for iPad from iLuv is a

Sometimes you want to listen to music, but it’s not prudent to wear earbuds. The built-in speakers, if your device even has them, usually sound pretty bad, so it’s nice to have a small external speaker with you. It’s even nicer when the speakers are Bluetooth so you don’t have to mess with a bunch

The Kindle Fire just started shipping, and Amazon is of course ready with some cases for you. It seems that Amazon is seeing the Fire as a reader instead of a tablet, at least based on the selection of covers. It seems most of them are sleeves or book-style covers and not stands. The Verso
