Review: iHome iW2 Airplay Enabled Speaker
Buying me a gift isn’t exactly easy. If you’re like me you probably hear this from your loved ones often too as well. So when my wife surprised me this past Christmas with an iHome iW1Airplay speaker I was super excited. The company’s flagship Airplay speaker was something I’d wanted but never treated myself to. Since setting it up I’ve used it a ton both in and around my home. I love being able to simply tap a few times on my iPhone to have my tunes instantly streaming throughout my house.
When iHome announced further additions to the iW line up at CES 2012 I was pretty psyched too. After you come to rely so heavily on a product hearing that other models are going to be added to the line can only mean more exciting products to check out.
iHome was recently kind enough to send along the newest addition to the iW line, the iW2. The iW2 is best described as the little brother to the iW1. In addition to streaming music from a variety of sources the iW2 can also act as a stand alone charger for your iOS device too.

Is your iPhone’s battery just making it through an entire day? Or perhaps it’s not and you find yourself struggling to find a power outlet come late afternoon or early evening.

Video Review: Dome Skins for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
We’ve all seen the traditional stick on the back skins for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. While this type of skin can be a fun way to change the overall look of your specific devices the skins themselves don’t do much in the way of offering any significant protection. Dome Skins are different. These 3D skins are padded and raised. Once you install one onto the back of your device you’ll gain not only a new look but an extra layer of protection as well as added grip. The skins come in a variety of patterns and each includes a piece for the back and another for the front.

Video Review: New Trent IMP99D 9900 mAh External Battery
There are plenty of options when it comes to external batteries. If you’re a mobile device power user who needs to be able to recharge your device while on the go, away from an actual wall outlet, a good external battery is your answer. The key is finding one that is the proper balance of size vs. power based in what you need to recharge. Some batteries are specific to the iPhone. Others pack little power. The New Trent IMP99D is a beast of an external battery offering up 9900 mAh of recharging power. That’s enough to recharge 5 iPhones! It has the option to charge two USB powered devices at the same time and even works with the heavier power requirements of the iPad.

Video Review: Moshi Rewind Dual iOS Device Charger
If you own an iPad and and iPhone the Moshi Rewind is simply a must buy. Why? If you’ve ever traveled with both devices you know you have to drag along both power cords. This can especially be troublesome in hotel rooms where outlets are usually at a premium. You may even have this sort of problem at home or simply want to reduce the number of power cords plugged in around your house. The Rewind allows you to charge two iOS devices (iPhone and iPad, iPad and iPod, iPhone and iPod etc.) at the same time from one outlet. It comes along with one 30-pin charge and sync cable and you provide the second allowing you to recharge two devices from only one power source.
Since it’s priced exactly the same as the original Apple iPod charger the Rewind is a much better buy. Click on through to see my video review of the Rewind and find out why. Then head to this page on the company’s web site to learn more about it.

You know who the iPod touch is popular with? Everyone! Truth be know it’s really, really popular with kids. Kids are hard on things and if you’ve got one with an iPod touch you’ll want to make sure you keep it protected. A case is a good way to insure you child’s iPod survives whatever he/she throws at it but that’s only half the protection you need. Keeping the screen protected is perhaps even more important. A screen protector helps keep scratches from developing on the iPod’s retina display. Even if you’re all grown up a screen protector can help by not only keeping your screen pristine but also reducing glare and or fingerprints. This not only helps you while using your device but also increases it’s value when it comes time to trade up to a newer version. Crimson was kind enough to send along two different screen protectors for the iPod touch 4G for me to review.
