The iPad 3 may be around the corner, but it doesn’t mean the iPad 2 is going anywhere. Even if the current crop of iPad 2 cases are not compatible with the new design, there is going to be a huge market for second-hand tablets and those tablets will still need cases. To that end, [...]
There is no easy way to say this: your PlayBook is now useful. Not that it wasn’t before, but the hundreds of thousands of dedicated BlackBerry users who eagerly spent nearly $500 on a PlayBook when it was released in April 2011 were often disappointed with its limited capability. No true email or calendar client, [...]
We love to stay connected, but that often comes at the expense of having to recharge our myriad devices, and often. myCharge, from the folks at PowerBag, have entered the portable battery cell market in a big way, and since using the Power Bank 6000 I can’t live without it. The idea is simple: a [...]
There are cool accessories that you admire and think, “this would be great for someone else,” and there are ones that finegle their way into your life and don’t let go. The Speck CandyShell Grip is one such case for the iPhone 4S. From the moment I placed this on my device it hasn’t left [...]
Cards — credit cards, loyalty cards, business cards, gift cards — we all have too many. And at a time when people are trying to carry less, not more, on them, lugging around a fat wallet is the last thing they want. Enter the credit card phone case. It’s an old idea that has been [...]

Either the biggest phone or the smallest tablet I’ve ever used, the Note sits on the edge of madness, but manages to be neither absurd nor unreasonable. The high-resolution 5.3-inch screen and LTE capabilities are kept under control by [...]
A lot of people ask me about cases for phones, and I tell them, “if you’re clumsy, get a case. If not, don’t.” But not all cases fit into that utilitarian category. The Galaxy Nexus is a stunning phone, without a doubt, and its back cover is rather slippery, but I have a found a [...]
When we reviewed the Otterbox Commuter case for the iPhone 4S, we loved most things about it, but in some ways it lacked the aesthetic panache of many of its competitors. Radio Shack (in the U.S.), Otterbox and LIVESTRONG, part of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, have partnered to release a Special Edition Commuter case for the [...]
Otterbox is one of the best examples of a quality case manufacturer, and though they’re an established brand their products are constantly referred to as “great surprises” among newfound fans. The Commuter case series is probably its most popular since it combines excellent manufacturing quality and awesome device protection. The iPhone 4S model has been [...]
There are gimmicks and then there are features, and to be honest I don’t know which category the Speck CandyShell Flip falls into. Its claim to fame is its easy-to-deploy “flip” stand which doubles as an easy slide-in entry for the iPhone itself. But let’s start from the basics. The Flip is made of a [...]
