I’ve reviewed a lot of keyboard cases for iPads and iPad minis in my day, but I’m always game to try another. I find that some are pretty uncomfortable to type on and some do very well for an undersized keyboard. Then there’s the Belkin Qode Thin Type Keyboard Case for iPad Air, which is

My son just entered Cub Scouts not too long ago, and that got me thinking about camping lights… or just any light. I grew up with bulky steel flashlights that never lasted long, or fidgety gas Coleman lights that some unlucky adult was constantly pumping up. How does a modern LED lamp, such as the

Despite the wonderful – and sometimes jawdropping – audio that manufacturers have been able to extract from small, portable Bluetooth speakers, there is still no substitution for size.
