Today we're looking at the Toonish Black Cat iPhone 5 case from EZ Buys Direct. EZ Buys Direct has loads of fun accessories for smartphones and tablets. I must admit, I like the Toonish Black Cat...because he looks like my black cat.   Notice the resemblance? Unfortunately, Jet is far more expensive, and far less protective than any case. It's also worth noting, you don't have to feed the Toonish Black Cat iPhone 5 case.   As you can see from the above photos, this case is made from a thick, durable soft gel silicon that will really cushion your phone. The fit is less...

Are you findable? If your answer is not an immediate "yes," then you probably aren't. So what does that mean? I'm glad you asked!       Currently available for: · iPhone 5 · iPhone 4/4S · Galaxy S3 · iPad 3 · iPad Mini Findables are a unique case concept. As you can see from the photos above (iPad mini on the left, iPhone 5 on the right), these cases come with QR codes. When you get your case, you scan the code, either with the Findables app (available in iTunes), or with any QR scanner you already use. The Findables app doesn't do much more than that though. It would be nice...

This week's offering from MobileFun.com is Trident's Apollo 2-in-1 Snap-on case for the iPhone 5. Having used Trident's Cyclops case on my iPhone 4S, I was anxious to check out the Apollo.   As you can see from the photo above, the colors are bright and really grab your attention. The backplate is interchangeable, so you can have a monochrome case, or a two-tone case. (This case comes in a variety of color combinations including Navy/Orange, Green/Blue, and Red/Black.) In addition to the case itself, you get a screen protector and cleaning cloth in the box. The back plate pops...

I usually need at least a week to decide if I really like a case, but I fell in love with the Casemate Glam at first sight. But not for the reason you might think. Yes, it's sparkly. And what girl (or grown woman) doesn't like a little bling. As a matter of fact, I showed off this case to two girlfriends at dinner tonight, and they were both wowed. It is stunning - I can't deny it. But as I said, it wasn't the superficial that I fell in love with. When I pulled the Glam from the package, the back was facing away, and what I saw was the inside of the case. Spongey soft protection....

Bejeweled used to be my favorite game in the world. It was the first game I ever bought on a Palm Pilot, and was the first purchase I made from iTunes when I bought my first iPhone. Then it morphed into Bejeweled Blitz, which hooked into Facebook. A bad sign right there. But they made it work for quite some time. They added new features, exploding gems, free spins for points...all very exciting. I played on. And then an update came that took a huge step backwards. First was the volume. Really annoying. I would open Bejeweled Blitz and the music would start playing. This, despite having all volume...

I was recently contacted by Blake from MobileFun.com. MobileFun is an online retailer of everything mobile. Blake offered to send me one of their products for review, and we decided on a genuine Speck case for my iPad mini. MobileFun carries all my favorite brands, and has a wide selection of iPad Mini cases, which they ship worldwide. I like Speck cases. One of my two favorites for my iPhone 4s was a Speck. The FitFolio is typical of what you get from Speck. It's well made, easy to use, provides protection, and is amazingly attractive. This could be a wallet. The design is beautiful....

I recently snagged a promo code for ContactsXL, and was pleasantly surprised with what I'd gotten. One of the apps I missed most from the "good ole" Palm days, was a little something from Toysoft called Picture Dial. I loved Picture Dial (and not just because I had recommended it be developed in the first place). Highlighted by beautiful photos of your contacts that you could just tap to initiate a call to that person, I always considered this a must-have app. And it's something I've been missing a lot with iOS. ContactsXL makes up for as much of that functionality as can be made up within...

I recently reviewed the Impact Band for iPhone 5 from Tech21, and was anxious to see what they had for the incredibly popular iPad Mini. They were kind enough to send me their Impact Snap Case with Cover for review.   This is a snap in shell type case made of a hard polycarbonate. Integrated in the shell are strips of D3O for impact resistance. Your iPad Mini is held tightly in the shell with no chance it will fall out. Of course, should you drop the whole case, the D3O should protect your iPad Mini. This is an elegant case that looks beautiful and feels great in your hands. Access...

I love using my iPad for taking notes. I started with Penultimate. It was..ok. It's obvious to me that the people who believe that Penultimate is anything other than penultimate, have never tried any other note taking apps. I quickly left Penultimate when I discovered Notability and CaptureNotes 2. I've gone back and forth between those two for the last year - they each have completely different strengths, so it's been a tough call. Now I've met ZoomNotes, and it was love at first sight. This app is a beast! If you can think of a feature you would want in a notes app, (like the commercial says),...
