I’ve made it no secret that I’m not a huge fan of silicone cases, but Proporta have made an admirable effort with their Soft-feel silicone case, designed to not only protect your iPhone 4 from bumps and scuffs, but protect you from your own disgraceful lack of hygiene. Oh, wait! Aren’t Apple users are a [...]

Proporta Soft-feel Silicone iPhone 4 Case Review
Saturday, August 14th, 2010OtterBox Defender for iPhone 4 Review
Friday, August 13th, 2010After the slightly less than perfect OtterBox defender for the iPad, it’s great to see that OtterBox are still churning out fantastic phone cases. The iPad was a difficult challenge, and they made a cracking good attempt but it just isn’t as polished, tight and, well, perfect as their offering for the iPhone 4.
The OtterBox [...]
Proporta Aluminium Lined Leather iPhone 4 Case Review
Sunday, August 8th, 2010I’ve long been a fan of Proporta’s aluminium lined leather cases. A stiff sheet of even as soft a metal as aluminium is a great protection for a screen, particularly the expansive sheets of glass found on modern handsets. It’ll disperse a sharp impact over the phone and, in theory, prevent it cracking your screen.

Beyza iPhone 4 Retro Slim Leather Slip Case
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010The first iPhone 4 case has arrived on my desk, and it’s a beauty from Beyza. There’s not a lot to say apart from the fact that it’s well put together, clean, simple, stylish, form fitting and pretty cheap at €27.95.
After a few weeks of use I can say that I’m happy with the Beyza [...]
SteelSeries Siberia V2 Headset Review
Sunday, July 11th, 2010It’s very rare that a set of cans, or stonkin’ great headphones, will replace my beloved Roland RH300s for any length of time. But the Siberia V2 has done just that. Admittedly, the Rolands are wearing out somewhat from sheer excessive use, so I welcome another set to step in and hold the flame [...]
Get Your Free iPhone 4 Case Starting Monday
Sunday, July 11th, 2010From their growing selection of iPhone 4 cases, gadget-accessory supplier MobileFun will offer this plain and simple silicone skin absolutely free starting this Monday (12th July 2010).
There is a catch, you’re going to have to pay postage and packing, but the £7.49 price of the case will be waived with the simple use of a [...]
Your Phone Might Have FM Radio, But My iPhone 4 Has DAB
Thursday, July 8th, 2010One might balk at the iPhone 4 for its lack of FM radio. But the fact is that the brilliant Roberts Robi, which I looked at donkeys years ago, adds not only FM radio to your iPhone 4, but DAB and an inline remote to boot.
And that’s the great thing about the iPhone. It may [...]
iPhone 4 Cases
Tuesday, July 6th, 2010Better late than never! I’ve finally got my hands on the fabled, all singing, all dancing, signal attenuating iPhone 4. Yes I’m left handed, and yes the signal absolutely bombs out if I hold the iPhone in the “wrong” way and takes a while to recover. I don’t see how a software fix can change [...]
Clip and Talk Solar Powered Bluetooth Cat Kit
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Solar power seems to be working its way into many simple, common devices. Some of the simplest are the best, with the SolarDAB being a good example. Radio lends itself well to this sort of power, and it seems that car kits do too.
The Clip and Talk Solar Powered Bluetooth Car Kit is a brilliant [...]
SmallTalk Mini Bluetooth Headset Review
Thursday, April 15th, 2010Bluetooth headsets are the one thing I would have thought that no sane individual would want any smaller. It’s not so much that a compact ear piece isn’t more practical, comfortable and convenient. But, rather, that something so small is also far more discrete than I would ever want a bluetooth headset to be. We’ve [...]
