Rapoo E6300 Ultra-Slim Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad Review

rapoo bluetooth wireless keyboard 1

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

uNu Ex-Era Modular Battery Case for iPhone 4/4S Review

unu ex era battery case iphone 1

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

LapDawg O-Stand Review

lapdawg o stand schettino review 12

The LapDawg O-Stand is a strikingly versatile and equally odd-looking stand for a wide range of tablet/reader devices. It arrives in a somewhat imposing box, which hints at the scale of stand you’re about to encounter. Even so, you may not be prepared for the coiled mass that awaits inside. However, if you’ve struggled to

Digital Innovations Nest Earbud Protector Review

di nest 6

Digital Innovations has created one of my favorite gadget accessories of 2012. It’s the Nest Earbud Protector. If you use earbud type earphones to listen to music, you’ll love the Nest because it solves the age-old problem of tangled earbud cables. This little storage accessory is one of those products that is simple and so

Spotlight Shifter 1.0 LED Torch/Flashlight Review

Shifter

In the  1990s for me there was only one EDC (Every Day Carry) flashlight, and that was the Mini Maglite AA.  Its small size, aluminum construction, adjustable spot to flood light beam,  ruggedness, water resistance, candle mode, and spare bulb in tail made this so versatile for me. From in my toolkit for work, to

Braven 600 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review

Braven 600 7

I am quickly becoming a fan of portable audio speakers and docks. They are convenient and sometimes sound way better than their size would indicate. Last year, I reviewed the wonderful Soundmatters FoxL speaker which impressed everyone who heard it with its jaw-dropping sound. Later Jawbone released the Jambox, which is basically a reworked FoxL

When Spotlight offered to send me a few samples of their flashlights, I was really happy to recieve 3 of their different models.  It wasn’t till I was doing a quick search for information on the Spotlight Turbo that I found that Julie had already done a review of the Turbo in April 2008. It’s

Despite all of the gesture-based user interface systems that have become popular in the past few years (think Wii, XBox Kinect, and of course smartphone touchscreens), the mouse is still the go-to workhorse of input devices for desktops and laptops.  But nearly all mouse devices have basically the same functionality, and many share near-identical styling.

Buffalo MiniStation Thunderbolt Disk Review

All the Macs we have in our house have Thunderbolt ports on them that don’t really get used, because other than the Thunderbolt Display from Apple, there haven’t been a lot of Thunderbolt accessories on the market for general home use.  I did do a review of a Seagate GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter (see related posts
