What if you could add not only a layer of protection to your iPhone, but also a set of invisible buttons to help you use your iPhone more efficiently.

I know of almost no one worth his or her Gadgeteer lifetime membership badge who doesn’t have some sort of power backup for their smartphone and/or tablet. This category has exploded, along with the move from cheaper, low-quality batteries to safer, more robust, and highly focused battery packs. Jackery, Inc. has recently introduced a range

Before 2010, there were no touch-centric tablets, only laptops that had stylus-driven screens. Suddenly, when the iPad burst upon the scene and gave tablet makers permission to dream of a touch-oriented screen and apps that could be on a larger screen than a phone, the world changed. Tablets that vaguely resemble the iPad have come

When I was a kid I would sneak into my parents bedroom when they weren’t home to admire my dad’s pocket knives and watches. He had some very nice knives, but I don’t think he had one as nice as the Small Carbon Fiber Sebenza 21 folding knife from knife designer Chris Reeve of Boise, Idaho.

Recently a curious thing happened – I was given the opportunity to use an Android phone with a 5″ screen, and I didn’t hate it. We know Julie has a love/hate relationship with iOS, as do several others here at The Gadgeteer. I’ve been a bit deeper into iOS than some, having used iPhones exclusively

First it was portable USB chargers, then Bluetooth speakers. Lately I’m seeing a lot of “web” cameras designed as security or monitoring devices. Today I’ve got the Kidde RemoteLync Smart Home Camera to try out.

I’m going to say this right up front. I really like hybrid earphones. I like the warm bass that the dynamic speaker provides. I like the accuracy the armature speaker is able to replicate. And I like that when used together, these two different speaker technologies give the best of both worlds. It’s never a

Dave Rees and I have been waiting for what feels like years in gadget time for the Nexus 6P. We each ordered one on the day they were announced and waited over a month to receive them. During that time, Dave had second thoughts about the 128GB version and cancelled in favor of a 64GB

Do you include a pen as part of your EDC (every day carry)? I have a couple full sized pens in my gear bag, but I don’t typically carry a small pen in my pocket for those times when I’m walking around at work and need to write something. Since I’m currently obsessed with pens,

A year ago I reviewed the Zerohour XD tactical flashlight and closed by saying that it was probably the last flashlight I’d ever purchase. Well, the folks at Zerohour haven’t been standing still and have recently introduced the little brother to the XD and I may have to eat my words. I’ll give it a

Being part of the Gadgeteer team has been absolutely awesome. Having the opportunity to test cool, new gadgets has been the experience of a lifetime. However, as great as it is being part of the team, it does come with one big problem….clutter. I was never a terribly organized person before, but now it looks

Until now, the only iPhone dock that I’ve ever used was attached to an alarm clock. Simple iPhone docks have intrigued me, but I had yet to try one and see if they were useful. The number one reason I never picked one up was due to the myriad of cases I enjoy using, since
