With the rise of the Micro SIM, and the outright sensibility of picking from the growing pool of SIM-free mobile phones instead of tying yourself into a lengthy, inescapable contract, the need to cut SIM cards down to Micro SIM size is all too common. Many SIM-only, rolling-monthly contracts come with full-sized SIM cards currently, [...]

Monday, January 30th, 2012Waterfield Designs iPhone Hint Slip Case Review
Monday, January 30th, 2012I haven’t looked at an iPhone case in some time, and with the iPhone 4s form factor matching that of the iPhone 4 many of my earlier reviews are still relevant. However, I’d like to introduce you to the iPhone Hint from SFBags. It fuses the convenience of a flip case, with the all-round protection [...]
Otone Aporto USB/Battery Powered 2.0 Speaker Review
Monday, January 30th, 2012I’ve never been a huge fan of portable speakers, this is probably because they’re traditionally quite awful. The Otone Aporto, however, combines reasonably decent sound with a quirky transforming trick. Its creator, Otone Audio, is a home-grown rising star in the audio world, headquartered in Manchester. They’re a relatively new and largely unknown company who [...]
Piel Frama iMagnum for iPhone 4(S) Review
Friday, December 9th, 2011Piel Frama claim that all of their cases are individually handcrafted. The cynic in me suggests that this should be taken with a modicum of salt in the mass produced world in which we live, yet I certainly can’t question their quality control department. Everything about the Piel Frama iMagnum leather mobile phone case for [...]

Konnet TouchEZ Slideout Keypad For iPhone 4 Reviewed
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011Way back in January I took a look at the TypeTop keyboard for the iPhone 4 and found that the mushy keyboard left something to be desired. The Konnet TouchEZ is a top-notch, clicky and responsive keyboard which feels far, far better than the TypeTop but unfortunately has some of the same drawbacks. Most prominently [...]
Native Union POP Phone iPhone 4 Headset Reviewed
Thursday, September 1st, 2011In the race to create the most hilariously unnecessary but somehow strangely cool product, Native Union are out in the lead with the POP Phone; a phone-shaped headset ( actually, it’s more a handset! ) for the iPhone 4 and other supported devices. Designed by David Turpin, it’s certainly not the first product of its [...]
Snugg Jibitz Silicone iPhone 4 Case Reviewed
Thursday, September 1st, 2011Silicone iPhone 4 cases have never been particularly compelling or difficult to come by. They’re easy to make and thus cheap to buy, making them the true bottom-of-the-barrel when it comes to cases. Not so with the Snugg Jibitz, tough. This is a silicone case with a twist. The case comes with a 4×5 grid [...]
iPhone 4 Eye Scope Zoom Lens Review
Monday, July 18th, 2011The iPhone 4 isnt exactly known for its camera which, whilst not altogether terrible, is not a patch on the 8mp beasts you might find in a Nokia handset. But none-the-less there’s never been a shortage of accessories that endeavour to help you make the most of that camera. The Eye Scope Zoom Lens is [...]
ABC PocketPhonics for iPad Review
Tuesday, July 12th, 2011It’s no secret that the iPad is a brilliant educational tool. But it’s only as good as the software you run on it. It should come as no surprise, then, that the educational software market for the iPad is growing, and is already diverse and competitive. I’m constantly keeping an eye out for educational software [...]
