Kanzek Slim Safe Portfolio review

By Kathleen Chapman / November 26, 2015 / Reviews / Bags, Laptop bag, Laptops and Gear / Leave a Comment

I enjoy using leather products because of their beauty and durability. Recently I had the opportunity to review Waterfield’s Cozmo 2.0 laptop leather bag. It was a very well made, wonderful laptop bag but a little too spacious for my personal preferences. I recently received the Kanzek Slim Safe Portfolio to review. I discovered that it is a

AirTurn Duo BT-106 hands-free wireless controller review

When I play music on my ukulele, I’m usually doing so in front of my computer, which I use to display the sheet music. I have a large collection of songs that are in .PDF and .TXT formats. There’s one problem that I have been trying to solve for a long time, how to flip

Kenu Airframe+ Leather Edition review

By Steve Holt / November 25, 2015 / Reviews / Car Gear, Device mount / 10 Comments

Last year I reviewed the Kenu Airframe+ cell phone car mount. It made my list of my top gadgets for 2014. It was the ultimate combination of portability, price, functionality, style, and performance for any car mount I have ever used. So simple in design, and yet so awesome. This year, Kenu came out with

Stripped screw head? Problem solved with Grabit!

By Kathleen Chapman / November 25, 2015 / News / Do-It-Yourself, Home and Kitchen, Tools / 3 Comments

I think that everyone who has ever screwed in a screw has stripped a screw head (or two) at one time or another. When it happens, you can either just leave it alone, muttering to yourself, “Good enough!” Or you can bore out the screw with a drill bit and replace it. There is an

Maxmadco Bolt Action retractable pen review

By Julie Strietelmeier / November 24, 2015 / Reviews / Pens / Leave a Comment

I am currently obsessed with pens. But not just any old run of mill type of ballpoint pens, I’m interested in uniquely designed pens that you can’t buy at your local Walmart superstore. I am looking for a combination of good looks, good feel and of course, good writing. The newest pen that I’ve had the

Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX iPhone 6 Plus case review

By John P. Feit / November 24, 2015 / Reviews / Cases and Covers, iOS, iPhone 6 Plus / Leave a Comment

I have a confession to make. I am a caseaholic. I already had three iPhone cases before my iPhone 6 Plus even arrived. I had a black leather folio case, a knock-off of a Twelve South BookBook brown leather wallet case, and a blue slim case with holster from Best Buy. I had wanted to

The zZounds 2016 Headphone Buyers Guide is more than just any guide

By Bill Henderson / November 24, 2015 / News / Audio, Video, TV, Earphones, Headphones / Leave a Comment

As much as I like people to read reviews and consider expert opinions on headphones and earphones, this reviewer is not the definitive word on what is the best headphone. No reviewer is. Headphones are only as good as the user thinks they are. So then—if any reviewer (including me) is not the final word,

Colonel Littleton No. 27 & No. 28 Pocket Journals review

By Julie Strietelmeier / November 23, 2015 / Reviews / Notebooks / 2 Comments

We review a lot of leather products on The Gadgeteer, but out of all the companies that we deal with, the leather products from Colonel Littleton are my favorite. Their leather is the softest I’ve ever felt and their designs and craftsmanship harken back to a time when quality really meant something. Did I really

Aiaiai TMA-2 Modular Headphones review

By Bill Henderson / November 23, 2015 / Reviews / Audio, Video, TV, Headphones / 5 Comments

Sometimes, one has to be careful what they wish for. Case in point: I was given the opportunity to review the new Aiaiai TMA-2 modular headphones, I eagerly said, “Sure!” Later I received a box with every part available for the TMA-2 to help make a recommendation about what combinations might work best depending on

You only need to touch this flashlight to power it

By Kathleen Chapman / November 23, 2015 / News / Crowdfunded, Flashlight, Pocket Gear / 2 Comments

The Lumen flashlight is a unique flashlight – it doesn’t need an external power source to use it. All it needs is your body heat. How does it work? According to the Kickstarter page, you touch TEG (Thermoelectric Generator) – small ceramic bar that can produce electric current when we provide temperature difference between upper

Use turtle technology to keep your earbuds ready for action

We’ve seen iPhone cases with built-in batteries, built-in multi tools, and even an iPhone case with a built-in charger with prongs that can plug directly into a wall outlet. The TurtleCell case for the iPhone 5, 5s, and 6, is an iPhone case with built-in earbuds. The TurtleCell case features built-in retractable earbuds with an in-line

Neposmart Intelligent Garage Controller / Security Camera review

By Ryan Chapman / November 21, 2015 / Reviews / Home and Kitchen, Security / Leave a Comment

When fellow Gadgeteer, Dave Rees, came to me and asked me to review a garage door controller, I was unsure, since I had no experience messing with garage door openers. Since it came with free installation, I agreed. A garage door controller and monitor is quite a bit outside of the box for me, but

Have you given much thought about split keyrings? No? Ok, me neither. But let’s do that now. The split keyring has remained virtually unchanged in decades. That is until now.

I’ve done a couple of Bluetooth speaker reviews in my short time with The Gadgeteer and have had the good fortune to review some really nice speakers. Despite that, I keep volunteering to review speakers because I really love listening to music. Reviewing these speakers gives me an excuse to blast some music and get
