Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
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 […]

Are you looking for a stylish cover to protect your 3rd generation Kindle eReader? OCTOVO recently sent me their Vintage Leather Book Cover and it’s a keeper.

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

In the past, I have reviewed some outrageously expensive – and outrageously good – earphones. But let’s face it: The vast majority of music lovers either can’t afford to or just won’t shell out the bucks to achieve that last bit of audio perfection. And truth be told, most decent earphones sound about 75-85% as

I recently reviewed the Jabra Wave Bluetooth headset, which I totally love. But before that, Jabra had sent me the Jabra Extreme by accident. The Jabra Extreme has great features and works just as well as the Jabra Wave. Let’s give it a look, too.

Holding your iPad up during use takes many forms. If you’re at your desk, a full sized stand can be used. But if you’re on the go, and working from random places with your phone, other materials, maybe eating or collaborating and want to have the device at a consistent angle without having to hold

With all of our MP3 music, digital pictures, digital videos, not to mention e-books, wouldn’t it be great to house all of them in one device? Oh wait, there is… Introducing the 8″ inch Cinepal Personal Media player (APMP10F) from Aluratek. This media player has the ability to play your music, show your photos, play

Ever had an important business call on your cell phone that you wanted to record? Or even record those crazy threats that your ex is making to you? Well there’s a solution for that! The Call Mynah cell phone recorder acts as a Bluetooth handset, but the most important functionality is that it has a

The Swiftpoint Mouse is made for those of you that love your laptop, but don’t love using the touchpad while you’re working with the computer on your lap. The Swiftpoint is a very small wireless mouse that you can use directly on your laptop’s surface. I’ve been using my Macbook Air as my primary computer

When I reviewed the iPad 2, I mentioned that I had ordered an invisibleSHIELD from ZAGG to protect the metal back. I have the Smart Cover to protect the screen, so I ordered only the skin for the back. You’ll notice I called this a mini review. Dave Rees did a great review of the

Apple’s iPhone 4 has been out for a while now, and Julie did a great review of the AT&T black iPhone 4 when it was released. Unfortunately, I’m a Verizon customer and had to wait through months of rumors before the iPhone 4 was available for us. I was so close to my contract end,

One of the benefits of doing gadget reviews is coming across a product that is so cool, so unexpected, and so jaw-dropping that it’s almost magical. When you first see the small Soundmatters FoxL speaker, you might think it could work as a personal speaker. When you first hold the foxL and feel its heft,
