I’m reviewing an iPhone 4 case from Mivizu called the Sleek Leather Case in Black Stone. It is part of a collection of cases from Mivizu with 11 different finishes, including carbon fiber, that center on a flip cover case design. I spent a week with this as my only case to get a proper […]

Tom Bihn makes great bags, and I can say that with absolute confidence. My husband has a Tom Bihn Empire Builder bag that he has used every single day for the past 8 years. After seven years, we bought him a new Absolute Shoulder Strap, but the bag itself looks as good as the day

One of the problems with laptops is their tendency to overheat, which can damage internal components. Their small size doesn’t allow a lot of venting nor big cooling fans to keep down heat. And their portability often means that people are using them places that can block the cooling vents – like on laps or

You choose a sleek new smartphone, then the internal war begins: case or no case? Cases can obscure the looks that attracted you to the phone in the first place or make it much heavier. Or you find out that all those features drain your battery so quickly that you can’t make it through a

You know how I am – I love cases and covers as much as I love my gadgets. I’m always happy to give any case a try, and I was pleased to receive a new Tuff-Luv cover for iPad 2 for review. The Marrakesh Multi-View Case Cover incorporates a stand into a book-style cover. Sure

We’ve reviewed our share of iPad stands here on The Gadgeteer. Today I want to show you another iPad stand, but this one isn’t for your desktop, it’s an iPad floor stand called the iProp. The iProp is an adjustable stand that will allow you to use your iPad hands-free for watching movies, reading, or

One would have thought that with the shrinking of the land line telephone market there would be less product variety for cordless telephones. Apparently VTech doesn’t see it that way, and keeps coming out with new and interesting products. The LS6475-3 incorporates several unique features, but are they really useful?

If you own an iPhone and have dropped it, did you have that moment of absolute panic just as it hit the ground? Depending on many factors, your iPhone was either OK, scratched, cracked or dead. Three out of these four possibilities are not good. I will admit, I am a klutz and a little

I know you have one. Those clunky, metal, red toolboxes. That iconic American symbol of craftsmen, workmen, and Do It Yourself-ers everywhere. Those expensive, heavy, red-paint-chipping, heavier-than-cement-crack -your-shin-on-it dead weights that holds a mish mash of tools and accessories that, once in, you can never find again. Throw it out. Seriously. Throw

We’ve reviewed a few cases for iPad and iPad 2 here at The Gadgeteer. We’ve also reviewed a few headrest mounts for the iPads. The problem has been that you have to remove the cover to fit the iPad into the headrest mount. Snugg offers a Headrest Mount Holder that is designed to be used

There are a multitude of watchband straps for the 6th generation Apple iPod nano, and I’ve already reviewed a couple. Each strap is a little different from the others, and it may require some looking to find exactly the one you’ll like best. Some lend themselves more to using them as a sports strap while

If it’s possible to describe a water bottle as awesome….this is it. Exotac’s titanium water bottle is honestly the coolest container (of this type) I have ever seen. Similar to Exotac’s nanoSTRIKER and MATCHCAP Firestarter I reviewed last year, the TiBottle is just as simply effective and efficient at getting the job done as they

Most people and offices nowadays need some sort of shredder or other method of dealing with the large amount of potentially sensitive stuff we get every day. While a simple cheap ‘wastebasket-topper’ unit works for many of us, some of us need more. The Swingline EX100-07 Stack and Shred Automatic Shredder may be your answer.

I love the thinner, lighter form of the iPad 2, and I love that the Smart Cover will protect the screen without adding much bulk. I tend to be paranoid about keeping my gadgets scratch-free, so I bought a ZAGG invisibleSHIELD to protect the aluminum back. I was disappointed in the ZAGG skin, so my

I’ve reviewed a couple of Motz Tiny Wooden Speakers in the past, and I’ve always found them to sound amazingly good for such tiny speakers. Pyramid Distribution offers several versions of the Motz speakers, and they graciously provided The Gadgeteer with two more of the Tiny Wooden Speakers for review. We’ll be looking at the

I have recently upgraded from my (painfully old and slow) Blackberry Storm 2 to an iPhone 4. While the iPhone 4 is much smarter, faster, better looking, etc; it is also more fragile than the Blackberries I have used in the past. I must admit that (due to Julie’s bad influence) I often use my

The Gadgeteer has reviewed a variety of mounting solutions for the iPad. Most of them were designed specifically to hold the original iPad, so there are a lot of redesigned accessories coming on the market after the iPad 2 was released. TouCoul makes accessories for both the original and the new iPads. They sent us
