A while back, I wrote a review of a Clingo car mount. At CTIA, I met with Allsop's marketing manager, Kelli Veening, and she showed me some of the new products they are unveiling.      In addition to some new tablet stands, they now have a tablet brand-agnostic blue tooth keyboard case which uses their incredibly sticky gel to secure any 10" tablet to the hard plastic back.  The back secures to the keyboard (which is also encased in a sturdy plastic shell) via several small magnets, creating a total sleek and protective unit.  Because the tablet sleek us actually a separate unit from...

When you go to an event like CTIA, you want to find something that just blows your socks off. I was lucky enough to find that something quickly, and almost by accident. Having spent two years in Taiwan as a teen, I find myself drawn to the Taiwan pavilion at CTIA, and it was there that I discovered Esoterism. Even the signage  in their booth was a mechanical drawing done by their artistic director, who happens to be a professor of art at one of Taipei's most prestigious art institutes. We will look at two pieces as they were presented to me. Aluminum bumper cases for the iPhone 4/4S, you can tell...

Every day, travelers leave chargers behind in hotel rooms.  Hotels collect boxes and boxes of those chargers.  Now, a company called Loss Prevention Systems, or LPS, has introduced a solution to help travelers remember to take their chargers with them.

I have always loved keeping my phone on a lanyard. Maybe it's a girl thing, but even when I was on duty after Hurricane Ivan, I had my Treo on a lanyard...under my uniform jacket. It seemed a no brainer. But fewer and fewer phones come with a lanyard hook - which seems silly when almost all portable cameras still come with them, and smartphones cost more than the average point and shoot. Enter the iHangy. Funny name, but it couldn't be called anything else. And why not? Because it is for iPhones, and it lets them hang. Thus - iHangy. The iHangy comes in three flavors: original, crispy, and spicy....

The design of the case was such that it could easily have been used with my new iPad, but I didn’t like the rubber keyboard, which frequently missed or duplicated my keystrokes. Thus, I decided to give that case to my husband with the old iPad - sounds evil, I know, but I'm a touch typist and my husband pounds away with only his index fingers. I opted to buy a different case for my new iPad. After looking around for quite a while, I chose the Targus Versavu Keyboard case (not to be confused with the Targus Versavu reviewed...

It's true. I regularly troll Kickstarter. Sometimes I send a recommendation your way if I'd like to see it succeed, and other times I find something that's already succeeding. This is one of those cases (no pun intended). The iPad Flex Kit was almost at its goal when I found it, so I backed it and sat back and waited to receive mine. Let me tell you all about it.   What you see here, is the skeleton of the Flex. A thin, but strong shell that clips to the back of your iPad (2 or "new") and offers you some comfortable alternatives for holding and carrying your tablet. In this photo,...
