For some reason I can never find a case for my iPhone 5 that I truly like. The truth is, the iPhone 5 feels great in the hand, and most cases spoil the smooth, sleek design. The Mod-3 Radius case (provided by BiteMyApple.co) protects the corners with a bare minimum of bulk. Here’s a closer look.

It is often said that good things come in small packages. But when it comes to music and speakers, we tend to think in the opposite direction, that bigger speakers equal better sound. The folks at BassBuds are trying to change that perception with their latest offering, the portable BassBoomz High Performance Bluetooth Speaker.

Though I am far from considering myself a “photographer,” I do like to take lots of photos with my DSLR. And one thing I can tell you after bringing it with me to all sorts of places is that it is a bit of a pain to lug around. That’s right. I’ve tried the stock

My first iPhone case was the Hornettek Vader iPhone 4 case (see related posts for a link to my review), and I loved it. Its style and lightweight aluminum frame made my phone look great. One of the major flaws with it, however, was that I had to take the case off to use my

Technology is awesome and convenient, especially smartphones and tablets. They are getting smaller, faster, and can have pretty good battery life built in. Sometimes you go to an event where your mobile phone is searching for signal constantly, in which you find yourself in the predicament of losing battery charge quickly. It’s always a good idea

We love flashlights here at The-Gadgeteer. They are valuable tools to have around for emergencies or work usages. Most flashlights these days are LED based because of the advantages of energy efficiency and high lumens output.

At first glance, the Nessie by Blue Microphones looks like an award one might receive at a music award ceremony because of its impressive stature. But it is named after the mythological Loch Ness monster and resembles it with its “S” curve and long neck silhouette. But it begs the question, does it stand up

With the change in mobile listening habits from stored music to streaming and Apple’s move from their 30-pin connector, we’ve seen a huge increase in wireless portable speakers. Used to be, everyone wanted an iPod or iPhone dock, but as Bluetooth has become more robust, so, too, have the speakers being offered. Today, you visit

Having become a recent convert to the iPhone 5, I am always looking for ways to accentuate and protect my investment. I have gone the extreme route with full waterproof and shockproof covers, but I have come to realize that I may not need that much protection. So, after reviewing another aluminum iPhone 5 bumper

I have a confession to make. Before this review, I’ve never consumed wine from a cardboard box container. It’s not that I’m a wine snob, it’s just that the limited number of wines I enjoy, only come in bottles. So, the makers of the Boxxle provided me with their 3 liter bag-in-box dispenser so that I could

During the 90’s, when cell phones were becoming all the rage, the belt clip for phones became a status symbol of sorts. Since phones started out so large that they wouldn’t fit in a pocket, clipping them to a belt (or hiding them in a fanny pack) was an acceptable way to transport them. Even

Wallets! We’ve shown and reviewed quite a few of them here at The Gadgeteer, and I wouldn’t expect that to change in the future. Wallets seem to be a quintessential gadget item. Part of our EDC, we carry them everywhere with us, and each of us has certain expectations for our wallets. Bellroy is a

I am a big fan of tablets for my everyday reading of news, setting reminders, and writing down notes. I’ve tried a couple of styluses back when I owned my first iPad, and I continue to try them for my Nexus 7. I also enjoy a good old-fashioned pen when I need to write down
