The PowerSkin is a great backup-battery style case that will double the battery life of your iPhone! It is a great tool to have with you when you are away from a charger and is totally worth the $80 in my opinion. Build quality was solid and it charged up the phone quite quickly and effectively. It has a 2000 mAh battery contained in the silicon case. Check out http://power-skin.com for more battery cases from them. They have these cases for a wider variety of phones!
The Beetle comes in at a very cheap price point ($17.95 USD) on http://AGFindings.com, but is it worth getting it? I think it is worth trying it out for 18 bucks, with their different color combos and relatively good protection in a sleek, thin package. There are definitely some quality issues with materials used and construction, but you cant expect much for under $20. My Rating: 6/10
The BlueLounge Nest is a great multipurpose stand for all of your devices. After using the Nest for about a week, I am going to give my final thoughts about the product. Above there is a a video review, and here is the written one.
BlueLounge definitely did not overlook build quality. The stand has a plastic construction, but it is by no means "cheap". The Nest feels sturdy and very high quality. The top has a rubber lip and the bottom has rubber feet so the Nest won't slide around, and neither will your device. At the back of the device, there is a hidden cradle that just flows with the design of the Nest.
Aesthetically, the Nest does not lack. It has a nice, clean, modern, and subtle design that will not distract from your desk. The Nest comes in a plethora of colors- Orange/White (which is the one I'm reviewing), Blue/White, Pink/White, Green/White, White/White, and Black/Black. The Nest adds a splash of color to your desk without it being obnoxiously loud. It also doesn't take up very much desk real estate, so you'll lose hardly any desk space. Also, it is quite small and compact, so it is easy to travel with.
The Nest does not lose any function for form. Despite it's small size, the Nest can hold up many different devices, including some notebooks. It supplies two great angles- one for typing and one for viewing. The Nest even goes as far as to clear up some of the clutter on your desk, as it's intuitive design allows you to keep flash drives, SD cards, earbuds, or what have you inside the Nest.
Overall, the Nest is an amazing iPad stand (and more). The only two cons I can find about it is that you can only have two viewing angles, and that the price is a bit steep ($14.95 from BlueLounge's website). However, you get a lot of bang from your buck since the Nest is universal and serves more than one purpose. The Nest is a great way to prop up your devices and to help de-clutter your workspace, and I would highly recommend it.
Are we looking at the future of mobile operating systems? I think so.
On June 6th, 2011, Apple held their annual World Wide Developers Conference. Apple provided information on iOS 5. It's going to be out "This Fall" and be available through the iTunes costing merely $0, which I personally found a shock.
In the video I'm going to solely focus on iOS 5.
For more information you can message me on YouTube.
People are claiming that their new recently launched white iPhone 4's are 0.2mm thicker than the black model. This is to be expected, though. Note the long delay since it was launched. The reason why the white iPhone 4 was delayed is because the white glass was light and was prior to screen bleeding. The only way to get around this was to thicken the glass.
However, it is still the thinest smart phone on the market today. Will you be buying the white iPhone 4 or are you going to wait a few months for the iPhone 5?
