Review: Griffin Intellicase for New iPad
Griffin is a well-known manufacturer of accessories for a plethora of gadgets, and has been around for quite some time. Although Griffin is a rather large company, many of their products have been hit or miss for me: some of their cases are atrociously bad, while others shine. Due to the blockbuster success of Apple’s Smart Cover, many companies have attempted to create products that mimic both the aesthetics and function of Apple’s shining star. Griffin’s Intellicase for the new iPad is one of those products.
How did it fare? Read on to find out.
I’m one of those people that has a really tough time falling asleep without something to listen to. I know it seems strange but I seem to fall asleep much quicker if I’ve got something playing on my radio. Generally I’ll set my iPod touch to play podcast or tune my radio to sports talk, setting the timer for 30-60 minutes. While this works well for me it doesn’t please my wife who usually is kept awake by the audio while I’m fast asleep. The PillowSonic Under the Pillow Speakers could be a marriage saver for me. This soft, padded, pillow has two speakers hidden inside. Once you plug in your device via the 3.5mm cable you can discretely listen to your own audio without bothering anyone else.

Review: Cygnett Icon Art Series Case for iPhone 4/4S
I don’t do well trusting brands that I have never heard of, and Cygnett fit that description perfectly. I had (very faintly) heard of Cygnett, but had not even come close to touching one of their products. I’m thankful that I got the opportunity to test out the Icon Art Series case for iPhone 4/4S.
Read on for my full remarks.
The RokForm Rokbed V3 case is so much more than just a case. The V3 is made up of a case and a ton of add on accessories that make an entire solution for using your iPhone 4 or 4s. The case, which is available in 13 color variations, features a special mounting bracket which allows it to be compatible with a host of adds ons from in car mounts, to built clips, tripod adapters, a bike mount and more!

Line 6 Mobile Keys 49 Keyboard Controller
Love to play piano? Sound designer? Composer? Amateur? Well then the Line 6 Mobile Keys 49 and 25 Keyboard Controllers are right for you. I have recently been dabbling in audio composing and this plug and play device is perfect to get the job done. This is the first cross platform device that works on PC, Mac and iOS devices without any interface. This plugs directly into the iPhone, iPad or iPod and with the proper application, you can be playing away composing! Another HOT feature of the Line 6 Mobile Keys is it’s very low power consumption. You would think a controller of this type would drain your battery, but it won’t. I play a little piano, but I actually had a chance to sit down with a professional composer and sound engineer who really put the Mobile Keys to the test.

The id America ICE series case is one of the best fitting cases for the iPhone that I’ve had a chance to review. So I was pretty excited when the company announced the launch of their newest case, the Hue, which uses the same body and design of the ICE case but offers a soft touch finish. The Hue case comes in a ton of bright and vibrant colors and each cases comes with both a front and a back screen protector. Priced at under $20 this might just too good to be true. Is it?

Video Review: Just Mobile Gum Max External Battery
Just Mobile just gets Apple accessories. There are among a small group of companies who make accessory items for Apple devices that look as though Apple could have made the items themselves. The Gum Max packs a gigantic 10,400 mAh of recharging power and it works with virtually any device that can be charged via a USB cable, including the iPad. The all aluminum body of the Gum Max looks like it belongs next to an iMac or Mac Book Pro and comes complete with a 30-pin cable and a handy carrying pouch.

Video Review: NewTrent Air Bender Case for the New iPad
I’m a fan of using a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPad. There is no shortage of choices when it comes to finding an external, wireless keyboard style case for the iPad either. When I look for one I look for one that’s different. Something that offers features that aren’t available in every single, plain, folio style keyboard case already on the market. The NewTrent Air Bender Case for the new iPad certainly seems to fit this requirement. How so? Click on through to check out my video review and find out.

Video Review: VANS Off the Wall Case for iPhone 4/4s
It’s one of the more sought after iPhone 4/4s cases and nearly impossible to find. The VANS Off the Wall case started out as a promotional giveaway. After seeing it’s popularity VANS began making the case in very limited quantities. Even today a brief check on Ebay yields a handful of cases being sold for two or three times their retail price. The VANS case uses the same materials that the company’s shoes use but unlike the shoes which are available in what seems like a endless amount of styles the case only comes in one.
So is the VANS case something special? Or is it so popular because of the fact that it’s so hard to find? Click on through for my full video review and find out.
Video Review: Nutkase iExecutive Case for New iPad and iPad 2
Like the slim form factor of the Apple Smart Cover but wish it was more protective? There are plenty of cases for the iPad that combine the Smart Cover design into a case with a back. However, the Nutkase iExecutive is the first I’ve come across that also offers a handy carrying strap too. The iExecutive is available three color options: black, red and brown and each is crafted from ec0-leather. Click on through to watch my video review of the Nutkase iExecutive.
