EDC, or everyday carry, has become quite popular, and many companies are offering products to help you organize your EDC items more efficiently.

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of iPhone 5 cases on the market today. They range from minimalist bumpers to full-blown, hard-core, destruction-proof cases. But what happens when you want something a little different, not a bumper, not a case, something minimalistic with a touch of style? The Bezl from Bezldesign may be the

I’ve always loved those little decorated sugar skulls that are used in the celebration of the Day of the Dead. This case from Joshua Harker uses that iconic image in an iPhone case for iPhone 4/4S or iPhone 5. The Crania Revolutis case is a bumper-style case with the decorative skull added to the back.

Having become a recent convert to the iPhone 5, I am always looking for ways to accentuate and protect my investment.

As I have stated before in a previous post, I am a usability guy. I would rather have a vanilla looking product that works well, rather than some razzle dazzle, all looks, nonfunctional product any day.

During the 90’s, when cell phones were becoming all the rage, the belt clip for phones became a status symbol of sorts. Since phones started out so large that they wouldn’t fit in a pocket, clipping them to a belt (or hiding them in a fanny pack) was an acceptable way to transport them. Even

I’ve seen a lot of waterproof pouches for smartphones and tablets, and they all seem to be a variation of a Ziploc baggie on steroids.
