Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
I love to play games. And I love technology. So when I saw the Codigo Cube, I just had to try it. What is this cube? Why are there QR codes on all sides? What happens if I scan one of those QR codes? How can this be a game? Would it be fun?? So […]
I normally don’t use a case on my phone. But my latest phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) feels too plasticy (technical term, look it up) and slippery. I’ve been trying to find the thinnest back cover that adds grip without a lot of bulk. BoxWave offered to send me their GeckoGrip case, I accepted and have

The Turtle Shell from Outdoor Technology is a rugged water resistant wireless boombox that has been designed for indoors, outdoors and everywhere in between. This portable Bluetooth speaker is currently seeking funding via Kickstarter, but with only 10 days to go, they are already over their goal and will be shipping units next month. They

Nowadays, it seems like action POV cameras are used everywhere from TV shows to documentaries to the weekend warrior next door. But are there standards for these candid action cameras or is it just as simple as pressing the record button? For me, it’s more than point and shoot. I have previously reviewed two other

Whether you consider the CardSharp 2 Utility Knife from Iain Sinclair a worthy pocket tool or just a novelty, you do have to admit that it’s one of the most unusual knife designs to come along in a very long time. Maybe the most unique ever. Let’s take a closer look.

The Jas Pro stand from Cooler Master is designed to complement your MacBook Pro of Air, but will work with any laptop or tablet, in almost any setting. It can hold the device open or closed, and has cushioning to protect all surfaces, as well as cable ports.

I recently traded in my 13″ MacBook Pro for an 11″ MacBook Air. I love my new Air, but I did have to give up using the ChillBed stand (see related posts) I’ve been using with the MBP because the front lip of the laptop stand was too high for the very thin front edge

I like to think of myself as a lightsaber aficionado (aka Star Wars geek), with several dozen Jedi weapons in our home. So, when Wicked Lasers announced their new LaserSaber accessory for their Spyder series, Arctic and Krypton lasers, I instantly got in line for one. Thankfully, Wicked Laser sent me one to try with the

If you read my review of the Just Mobile Gum, you’ll have read that I really like it as a backup battery because of its looks, weight, and size. But what if you want to charge your tablet while you’re on the go rather than your phone? Today’s tablets have batteries that hold many more times

Two years ago, I reviewed the digiZoid ZO “personal subwoofer” (see related posts) and absolutely loved it. In short, the digiZoid ZO was a portable, personal headphone accessory that boosted low frequencies to give that fuller, richer sound that many of us enjoy. I love the original digiZoid zo so much, it singlehandedly ruined music

Lately, I’ve been going with a minimal approach to casing my iPad, using only a sleeve. However, I’m always looking for my next favorite case, and I was very interested when Cygnett offered The Gadgeteer their Glam Red case for iPad 2 and the new iPad. It was red, after all. How could I refuse?

There’s no denying the fact that people love playing games on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Using the capacitive touch screen to play puzzle and word games on these devices is fun and easy. But playing action games using an on screen touch controller is less fun and less easy. At least for me… I find that

I am definitely one of those people who just throws my bag onto the seat next to me in my car and then acts shocked when it goes flying off at any sharp turn or stop. It’s also a well-known fact that if I’m transporting take out and if there’s a liquid, it’ll end up

The Outback Tote from WaterField Designs is one of the newer offerings from this company who have long been known for their high quality gear bags and pouches. Designed to hold whatever you need to carry, this bag may look rugged, but it is really like a comfortable pair of jeans. Let’s take a closer

I definitely enjoy listening to music. While I would not classify myself as an audiophile, I do prefer listening to my music more often than not. I have speaker systems and earphones strategically placed throughout my home, garage, car, and work so that when I want to plug in, I can with little effort. I

The Venstar ColorTouch Thermostat (model T5800) is a replacement for your current heating and air conditioner controller for your gas, electric or heat pump system. It adds a great set of features that will help you save money on your energy bills while also giving you more control than your current “dumb” thermostat.

This little book light reminds me of those Luxo desk lamps that inspired the Pixar logo and cartoons. Just like the Luxo, the Tiny Tim Book Light from Mustard is articulated so you can bend it into various shapes to put the light just where you want. Let’s see how it works.

It seems like the general consensus among many iPad owners is that the on-screen keyboard is good for sending a quick email or making a note, but it doesn’t work so well when you need to enter large amounts of data. There have been many attempts to create a compact, convenient physical keyboard that you

Being surprised while reviewing audio gear can be both wonderful and not so great. The fun is in the discovery of a gem. Even though I am familiar with the Turbine and Turbine Copper earphones (and like them a lot) from Monster, I have been (much) less than thrilled from what I have heard in

One thing I’ve noticed about my iPhone 4 is that the battery drains at a much faster rate than the batteries in my old dumb phones did. This is especially true now that I keep Bluetooth turned on all the time to keep the iPhone connected to my V-Tech Bluetooth home phone. There’s nothing worse
