Having recently purchased a refurbished iPad (1st generation), I naturally went hunting for a case to keep my device looking spiffy.  I found the SwitchEasy Reptile case.  The case comes in black, white, green, brown and purple.  Being a purple kind of gal, that’s the color I got.   The case has 2 pieces: a back that has semi-flexible edges that wrap around the front of the iPad, and a plastic frame that snaps over the edges of the back.  This provides protection for your entire device.  The case is lightweight, and adds minimal bulk – no small factor considering that the original...

I kept seeing people in forums talk about the LifeProof case, and how much better it was than the Otterbox. What I hadn't seen, was a decent review on the LifeProof case. Hopefully, I'll be able to answer all the questions for you right now. I'm going to start with the obligatory comparison to the Otterbox. As most of us know, the two best known Otterbox cases are the Defender and the Commuter. The Defender is BIG. It makes your slender iPhone bulky. It never occurred to me to use one just for this reason. The Commuter, on the other hand, does not add considerable bulk, and with the available...

I recently purchased the ROOCASE Executive Leather case for my Nook Color as a consolation prize for not being able to get a new tablet.  The case is available in red, magenta, graphite grey and black.  I bought the red one. The leather is nice quality; it is not smooth, yet not too heavily grained for my overly-sensitive fingers.  The case itself is fairly thick at just over an inch, but that is understandable given the design.  The cover is sturdy and rigid; and it is nicely padded, with the ROOCASE logo embossed in the lower right corner of the front.  The Nook could probably withstand...

WD 1TB drive that fits in my 2nd Kinies purse/gadget bag Just ordered the first interesting case in a while: http://www.padandquill.com/ The Little Black Book.

The Callet, a cross between Case/Wallet, is another in the "I want one" category. Unlike some of its competitors, it's a flexible skin, rather than a hard case, and it holds your important id or credit cards tightly in the back so that you have one less thing to carry when you leave the house. Have a look for yourself:

This product goes in the "I want one!" category. I like taking a book and sitting in the shallow end of the pool, or at the water's edge at the beach. But you have to be careful not to get the pages wet. I prefer reading on my iPhone, but I would never take my iPhone into the pool - without a DryCASE. I was instantly drawn to the DryCASE booth, because their display was a working aquarium (fish included!) with an iPhone hanging inside...under water. I had to go check it out. I had already learned about Clever Wraps, but this seemed to be something well beyond rainproofing your gadget. You still...

I thought we'd seen the last of blinged out cases, but take a gander at what I've seen and you'll know this is far from the case (pun intended). Some of these are beautiful, some will make your eyes bleed. And there's still more to come! And this last one is just for Jerry:
