REVIEW – I feel like I have gone through hundreds of different phone cases over the past 10 years or so. With each new phone, I get, I get at least three different cases before I find one that suits me. I have used everything from basic TPU cases to full coverage Otter Box type

REVIEW – I’ve been on the hunt for the “perfect” clear case with Magsafe for my iPhone 12 Pro. I found the original Apple clear case with Magsafe to be too slippery, and the buttons were too stiff. Would the Smartish Gripmunk with Magsafe Slim Case fare any better? What is it? The Gripmunk with

REVIEW – When the iPhone with MagSafe charging came out last year, there was only one clear case with Magsafe- the Apple one. I found that case extremely slippery with buttons that were hard to push. Eventually, a few “no name” brand cases trickled out into the market. I tried a handful, and they were

REVIEW – When Apple announced MagSafe for the iPhone 12 series they mentioned that more 3rd party cases would be following in the coming months. They’ve finally started to trickle out and I couldn’t help but wonder how some of these might compare to Apple’s own cases. Nomad Goods has updated their Rugged Case and

REVIEW – I don’t know about you, but when I get a new phone, I immediately want to put a case on it. I feel almost afraid to use the phone because I feel I will drop it and break it. Figuring out the right case is tough because I want something extremely lightweight yet

REVIEW – The Black Ops case from Element Case has been on my want list from their first version which I believe was for iPhone 5. It’s always been expensive and has frequently used exotic materials or had unique accessories. Needless to say when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped at the chance to review

REVIEW – Finding a case that works and looks the way you want it to can be a real challenge. For me it results in purchasing many more cases than most people to find ones I enjoy using. When it comes to the new iPhone 12 line, MagSafe compatibility comes into play and that’s an

REVIEW – My daughter has routinely been the recipient of whatever iPhone I’ve moved on from. It’s worked out well in general up until the last one which developed a green line on the left of the screen after one drop. A few more drops and it finally gave out and we decided to get

REVIEW – I’ve had a case on my iPhone going all the way back to my iPhone 3GS. Not only does a case provide some measure of protection from bumps and scratches, but it also allows you to express your individual style. I’ve run the gamut from uber-protective, Iron Man armor type cases to ultra-minimalist,

REVIEW – A phone is only as good as its battery, which is why there are so many third party battery solutions out there. The trick is that they only work if you have all the parts with you. Xvida has a whole charging system including car, desk and wall mount solutions and they sent

REVIEW – Protective cases are almost a given for smartphones, since, as I tell my customers, they are basically “two slabs of glass that are allergic to both gravity and water, which are pretty common things around here.” Tech21 has been building cases for several years that provide great drop protection without making your phone

REVIEW – Unless I’m reviewing a smartphone case, I typically use my iPhone with nothing protecting it but a nice screen protector…trusting my ninja skills and sure hands to win out against the evils of gravity. I hedge that bet by purchasing AppleCare Plus when I buy a new iPhone knowing that if I do

REVIEW – I realize that I’m in the fringe group of people that is constantly on the hunt for a new iPhone case. It’s not that there’s something wrong with cases that I have (well, maybe a little), but more that I appreciate the detail and care that goes into their creation as I used

REVIEW – You may have seen Element Case products through the years. They’ve been building cases for a while and always like to use cool materials in new ways. Their brand has always had this motorcycle and engineering vibe to it that’s resonated with me. Vapor S is one of their new cases for iPhone

REVIEW – Pelican may not be the first brand that you think of when it comes to phone cases or power banks. I know them for their seriously overbuilt (in a good way) and air-tight storage cases that I’ve used to cart engineering prototypes around the globe. They wouldn’t have cracked my top ten list

REVIEW – There are a lot of options when it comes to choosing a case for your phone. You may want something stylish, protective, or maybe just something uniquely you. There are fewer options however when it comes to something more eco-savvy. The Bottle Case from Nimble is both stylish and protective but has the

REVIEW – When Lifeproof originally launched phone cases, it was all about waterproofing. Up until receiving this case to review, I still considered them in ‘waterproof case’ sector. It turns out they’ve expanded their offering quite a bit since then and the Flip case is a pretty clear example of how much has changed. What
