The cost of repairing the screen on the new iPhone X is $279. All other damage repairs will cost you $549. Even if you purchased Apple Care+ @ $199 screen repairs would still cost you $29 and all other damage would cost you $99. Either way, protecting your investment with a great case is more important […]

I have reached peak USB charger. I’ve got a multi-USB charger at my desk at work, multiple ones at home, and even on a side table where I watch TV. I think I have one in my garage, too. I pretty much turn my nose up at these, but then the Tofu Multi 8-port USB

When looking for the right bag, I am as captured by form as I am by function, sometimes to the point of making concessions on function when I find a real head-turning item. This is exactly the state I find myself in after using the Hardside Leather Carry On from Saddleback Leather Company.

I am not a gamer, nor do I play one on TV. That said, in my day job I write a lot of code, type reports, message data and perform all manner of keyboard-related activities. It is important to have a comfortable, responsive and well-designed keyboard, so most people in my profession tend to go

This is the first time I have written a review while actively using the product I am reviewing. I am in the standing mode of my workstation and beneath my feet is the Santa Cruz Wurf Board and I feel great. The Wurf Board is an inflatable pad for use when standing in one place

As a gadgeteer, I love computers and gear, but I also love carrying those gadgets in nice cases to protect them. Toffee is no stranger as a brand to the site, so I was finally able to get my hands on a nice looking leather sleeve for my MacBook Pro. The Toffee slim leather sleeve

When it comes to travel, whoever said “half the fun is getting there” quite obviously did not have to pack his own bag. If you are anything like me – and I sense you are – you have a tendency to pack more than you need just in case you…well, need it. To compensate, you

Backpacks come in a variety of sizes, styles, and designs. Some are meant to serve students, some are more for photographers or commuting information workers, and some are designed more for travel. As much as I like satchel bags or messenger-style bags, there’s sometimes nothing like a backpack when traveling. On my last vacation, I

Think about all the regular housekeeping chores that you have to do on a regular basis. Now think about the ones that appear close to the bottom of that list. Maybe it’s taking out the garbage or cleaning the toilet. But if you would have asked me what I least enjoy, it would probably be

So there you are, staring at that big batch of beautiful images on your desktop that needs to be prepped for publishing and/or distribution. Image editing can be a time-intensive task when done manually, especially if you’re dealing with a lot of content. You could be in for a long night. Enter PhotoBulk 2 for

Last year I reviewed several Burkley iPhone 7 cases, one classic case, and one minimalistic wallet. Both very well made and designed to not only protect your smartphone but accentuate it in nicely done Turkish leather. With the release of the iPhone X, Burkley has recently introduced a suite of cases meant to protect Apple’s

I generally put headphones I review into three categories: Too bassy, too accurate or a balance between the two extremes. Headphones that are too bassy make music sound muffled and oppressive. Overly accurate headphones will accentuate everything that is good in music if the music you are listening to is taken from high-resolution files. But

Do you ever wonder what happens after we review a product? Do we stop using the product? Does the product break? Or do we happily use it for years and years? That’s the reason why we do these review update posts, so we can take a look back at past reviews and comment on how

It is amazing how capable and feature-rich personal drones are these days. They have become much easier to control, more fun to fly, and a better bang for the buck. For years, drones have been tempting me but I have never really been interested in the cheap ones and the high end ones were just

I’ve been the happy owner of a Dyson 360 Eye robotic vacuum for over a year. It’s been great knowing that all of the little crumbs I spill at breakfast would be magically gone by dinner time. I was eager to have a look at HouSmile’s Ecan Robotic Vacuum Cleaner to do a comparison.

What makes a wallet a “smart wallet?” How about an RFID-protected card-slider mechanism for storing your credit cards? Perhaps a solar-powered tracking system so that you can find your wallet when it goes missing? These are some of the features you’ll find in the Ekster wallets, all wrapped in luxurious leather. I’ve got the Ekster

The Dromida Kodo FPV Camera Drone is a fun, easy-to-set-up, beginner drone with some great extra features. Unfortunately, because of a poorly designed app and subpar hardware, it is not a true First Person View (FPV) drone. At $89.99, it’s still a good deal though for a drone that can (barely) stream Wi-Fi video and

I grew up watching Star Trek and always thought that talking to a computer was the coolest thing! With Siri, Google and Alexa were getting darn close to Captain Kirk’s Enterprise. Ahhh, the joys of home automation! I love it when something cumbersome becomes effortless. Adding ConnectSense’s new Smart Outlet to my home automation system

I don’t use Bluetooth headsets anymore since I seem to text and email more than voice. But a Bluetooth headset that is completely immune to ambient noise? Say hello the iAsus Stealth Bluetooth Mic.
