Review: SwitchEasy TRIM Case for iPhone 4/4S

Today we are going to be taking a look at a very interesting case, called Trim, made by SwitchEasy for the iPhone 4/4S. Before the review starts, I would like to give a huge thanks to SwitchEasy for sending me this fantastic case out for review.

 

First of all, I was really impressed with the content of the box. Except the case itself, SwitchEasy provides the customer with two anti-static screen protectors, two universal dock adapter, an amazing video stand, two headphone jack protectors, two connector protectors, a microfiber cleaning cloth, a squeegee and user's manual.


SwitchEasy this time, combined protection and beauty. This case makes your iPhone look even more beautiful with its amazing color and also it is absolutely protective.

Installation process was very easy. All you have to do is slide the phone from the top to the bottom. Make sure to cover all the edges. Uninstalling is a bit difficult, but that's good because there are no chances the case to take off the iPhone while dropping or on daily usage.

Now let's take a look at the case itself. On the top the case has a cover for the lock button and you can install also the headphone jack protector in order no dust to come in it and generally protect it. 


On the left hand side the case has a large cutout for the profile switcher button, and it covers the two volume buttons.


The whole right side is protected and it also has SwitchEasy's logo.


The case also has two big cutouts for the microphone and speaker and the customer can also install the USB import protector, for fully protection.


Taking a look at the back you can clearly see that it is transparent in order the beautiful back of the iPhone to be visible. It also has a large and deep cut-out for the camera and flash. Also the back is made by a very hard material which is very protecting.


The case also has "lay on the table" design which means that if you leave your iPhone facing the ground the screen won't have any contact with it. For more protection I really do recommend you to install one of the screen protectors that you are provided with the case.

Now let's take a look at the benefits and cons of the case itself.

Benefits: It provides the user with fully protection, the case feels very nice in the hand, it does give a very beautiful look to the device and it gives you full access to all the buttons and imports. Also it comes in several colors such as black, red, orange, yellow, purple. The one I am using is the blue version.

Cons: The only con with that case is that sometimes it drops the Wi-Fi and 3G signal.

Overall I give this case a 9.8/10, because it gives the iPhone fully protection and an amazing new look. Up to now it's my favorite case.

X-Mini Speaker

The X-Mini brand has been making a scene with DJ's and celebritys alike, but is it simply a hyped up product or truely an amazing little speaker with mind blowing sound. Well, it is truely an amazing speaker with mind blowing sound! I was very happily surprised with the quality of this little product. I compared them to my Phillips Apple Docking Station and Stereo system and it is right up there with it! One of these little speakers will rang you anywhere from $20-$30, but don't let the price detur you from buying one of these amazing quality speakers!

Otterbox Reflex Series iPhone 4/4s Review

Otterbox has been the standard for protective cases for cell phones and tech devices for a while now, but the one complaint that many people have is how bulky it makes their devices when in use. It seems that Otterbox has addressed this concern with their Reflex series for the iPhone 4/4s, and they did an awesome job at it. This case does not add hardly any bulk to your phone, no more than you would expect any cell phone case to. It is great protection without the sacrifice of design or astetic appeal.

iCarbons iPhone 4S - Black Carbon Fiber Review

In today's article we are going to be taking a look at the Black Carbon Fiber skin for the iPhone 4S by iCarbons. Before the review starts, I would like to give a huge thanks to iCarbons.com for sending me this product out for review.

After using the phone with the skin installed for a whole week it's time to give you my honest review on this product.

The "iCarbons iPhone 4S - Black Carbon Fiber" skin, is one of the best review units I’ve ever got. The product has many more advantages than its disadvantages.

Let's start the review with what you will find in the box. In the box you'll find all the parts of the skin. One for the front, one for the back, one for the metallic antennas and two stickers for the Apple logo in the back and it’s twig (white & red). 

Installation process was very easy. All you have to do is carefully place the skin on the device around the imports, speakers, cameras and buttons. If you fail installing, you can take it off and re-install it. The skin will be fine and  you will not face any issues. First install the front part, then the back part, after the antennas part and in the end, install the part for the Apple logo and the twig that is above it. To learn exactly how to install it please watch iCarbon's installation tutorial here.

The skin has perfect cut-outs for the lock button, the USB import, the 3.5mm headset import, the camera and flash, the front facing camera, light indicator, speakers, volume control and for the profile switcher button. 

The skin makes the iPhone even more amazing with its beautiful 3D pattern. With the skin installed, the phone feels very solid and nice in the hand and you'll not face any problems using your device for many hours. If you already have a screen protector installed, you'll be still able to place the skin on it without any major problems. However, the iPhone will be a lot thicker and you'll not be able to install any cases on it.

 

After the advantages of the product, let's check out also its cons. I use my iPhone daily for many hours and with the skin installed I found out that the device is overheating. When I was using the phone without the skin for the same period of time it didn't overheat at all. So if you use your iPhone a lot that's a big con. Also, as all the skins, you'll not be able to fit your iPhone in any hard cases with the skin installed. You'll be able to use only some silicon ones. The last con is its price. It retails for 24.95$ on iCarbon's website. Although the product is great I think the company should lower the price because some reviewers or consumer will characterize this product as overpriced.

Overall iCarbons did a great job creating a high quality product that will make your phone even more beautiful, it will prevent it from minor scratches and it will make it feel better in the hand. I chose the black colour because my iPhone 4S is white and the reflection of white and black is amazing. The product is also available in white and red.

My rating for this product is 4.5/5.

If you are interested in purchasing the product, you can buy it from iCarbon's website for 24.95$ with free shipping: Product
