Evolving & Revolving the iPad’s Usefulness – iGear iPad Flip Turn Case Review
We all know how useful Apple's iPad Air is. It's great at work, in the home and on the go. So is it possible to extend the iPad's utilitarian and multi-use functionality? Of course. One way is to get a case that builds in additional functions. Last year, I talked about iGear's Flip Turn Case and Keyboard for the iPad…

Sometimes, however, a case can go beyond providing simple protection, it can give utility as well. The iGear Unlimited has a very useful protective case that actually has multiple functions, starting with a Bluetooth keyboard. The iGear Unlimited Flip Turn Case is designed…

ODOYO Power+Shell EX iPhone 5 Battery Case is Almost Perfect
A few weeks ago, I published a head-to-head review of four iPhone 5 battery cases (by Mophie, Belkin, MyCharge & XPAL Power). Each of these case+battery solutions had their own advantages (and disadvantages). Unfortunately, I didn't get my hands on the ODOYO Power+Shell EX iPhone 5 battery case in time for that review, otherwise, it would have been the leader…

Head-to-Head: 4 iPhone 5 Battery Cases Reviewed – Mophie, Belkin, MyCharge & XPAL Power
Smartphones these days are big battery consumers. The larger the screen and the more active you are, the more you rely on having a big, hefty battery. There are many smartphones that allow you to simply swap out a used battery with a fully-charged one. The Apple iPhone, unfortunately, is not one where you can easily change a battery on…

Just Cover It Up! Pritect – A Privacy Guard for the Xbox 360 & Windows Kinect
Sometimes low-tech is the best way to go. I hadn't really thought much about the Kinect for Xbox and Window in terms of privacy, until the folks at Catalyst Components reached out to me about their new product called the Pritect cover. It's a privacy guard for the Xbox 360 Kinect. What is the Kinect? It's a gesture, motion and sound…

Custom Cases for Gadgets like Kindle Touch or Macbook Air, Hand-Crafted by Rickshaw Bagworks
A few years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting a local San Francisco business to see their craft in action. The company is Rickshaw Bagworks and they built, based on my choice of color and material, one of the best blogger backpacks that I have owned. My full review from back in 2009 goes into the details of materials…

ClamCase Transforms Your iPad into a Netbook with iOS Benefits
I finally got my hands on a ClamCase. When it was first announced, long before there were all of the other hundreds of bluetooth keyboard cases for the iPad, the ClamCase design really intrigued me. Now I have spent a few hours testing it out and I finally have something to write about. Over the past year that I have…

4-Way iPad Keyboard Case Review: Sena Keyboard Folio, Kensington KeyFolio, ZAGGmate & tyPad
For many people, the iPad is fine the way it is...as just a tablet. However, for me, I needed something that was more than just a tablet but less than a laptop or even a netbook. That sweet spot requires one key thing...literally, a physical keyboard. So, why would anyone want to lug around a keyboard? I actually know quite…

MacWorld 2011 – Sort of a Yawner with a Few Moments of Wakefulness
I have been going to the MacWorld Expo for many years now and I'm really sad to see it losing much of its excitement. When Apple was there, showcasing new products and innovations, there was a vibrancy and energy. Ever since Apple pulled out of the Expo, I feel that it has been going downhill. Apple provided the weight to…

Mophie does iPad Cases too, the Right Way! I’m Liking the Workbook.
I have reviewed a bunch of Mophie devices (iPhone battery cases) and when they asked me if I wanted to take a look at their new iPad case, I couldn't resist. I have a variety of iPad cases lying around my office, some I have reviewed and use, others I just have tried for a few minutes only to put…
