If you’re an iPhone 5 owner who isn’t swimming in cash, you’ve probably very quickly realised that lightning charging cables and docks aren’t exactly as easy to come across as their 30-pin cousins. As an iPhone owner since the 3Gs, and now holding fast on the 4, I love the near ubiquity of the 30-pin [...]

Momax XC Dual USB Mains Charger Review
Wednesday, May 8th, 2013Be.Ez LA Allure iPhone 4S Case Review
Sunday, April 14th, 2013My first thoughts on taking the LA Allure case out of it’s packaging was that it looked very pretty but was too light to give any protection to the iPhone. Thankfully, I was wrong. Despite being slim and feather light (14g), the hard casing still gives your device full protection on the back and around [...]
Microlab H21 Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers
Saturday, August 11th, 2012Bookshelf speakers are an oft overlooked home-entertainment addition, perhaps because bookshelves are a dying breed, or are always crammed with the latest videogame releases. But the bookshelf form-factor is a great, multi-purpose alternative to an MP3 player dock and makes for a tidy, attractive desktop speaker solution, too, if you prefer to deliver your audio [...]
Stickems Gadget Screen Cleaners
Saturday, March 31st, 2012Ever since the proliferation of touch based input, Smartphone and tablet screens have been terrible fingerprint magnets and that grime quickly becomes an incumbent nuisance that even a sleeve can’t cope with. Enter microfiber cloths, you’ve probably used one, and you may even keep one handy. But it’s safe to assume you probably don’t, and [...]
Yet Another Mobile Game Controller
Wednesday, March 14th, 2012Joining the ranks of many other mobile game controllers, which have followed in the success of the iControlPad, the Evolution Controllers Arduino based DRONE™ controller has crept up on us along with an accompanying KickStarer project aiming to secure the $60,000 needed for injection moulds, manufacture and testing. It is, by far, the prettiest such [...]
Micro SIM Cutter From MobileFun
Monday, January 30th, 2012With 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, [...]
Waterfield 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 [...]
