Video Review: Keep that Screen Clean with Products from Antec
Antec makes a wide range of product. That large selection even applies to their sub-category of offerings as well. The company makes three different types of screen cleaning solutions each with it’s own distinct characteristics.
Their Natural product is made from 100% natural ingredients and is eco-friendly. If you’re someone who is concerned about the environment and what effect processed chemicals have on it then this is the product for you. The Natural cleaner both cleans and protects your screen (iPhone, iPod, iPad, tablet, computer etc.)
Their 3X cleaner flat out cleans your device’s screen like nothing I’ve seen before. It not only cleanses your screen of oil and fingerprints but also frees it from any bacteria thanks to an extra antimicrobial add-on. The 3X cleaner also protects your screen by leaving a thin, undetectable layer behind.
Finally the Deep Cleaner is a gel which is meant to be applied once and a while for the times when you’ve just let your screen go. The thicker consistency of the gel allows it to reach every nook and cranny of the screen leaving you with a screen that looks as good as the day you took it out of the box.
All of the Antec cleaning products are drip free, which means you needn’t worry about it getting into any of the ports on your device either.
Sound good? Hit the jump to watch my video review of all three of the Antec Cleaning products mentioned in this video. Then head to the company’s web site here to learn more about them.

Review: LunaTik for iPod Nano 6G
When the 6th generation of the iPod Nano was unveiled last year in September people said that it looked like something that they’d like to use as a watch. Well this inspired all the case manufacturers to release versions of a watchband for the small Mp3 device. Problem is though, that most of them are made of TPU, making them look a cheap toy is strapped to your wrist. LunaTik started out as a Kickstarter project looking for funding and exploded with backers. Their high end watchband, which is made out of aluminum, has a classy look to it. So is the LunaTik the watchband to have?
