Last week at CTIA in New Orleans, I was lucky enough to catch up with Cheryl from Bodydock. She demonstrated their product, which is not just an ultra protective case, but a system of magnets so that you can dock your iPhone almost anywhere. Check out their website at bodydock.com.

I received many emails leading up to this year's CTIA. None piqued my interest so much as the one promising the CEO would be bringing his "industrial drop test machine." So I went to the Tech21 website to see what this could be about, and found this really cool video. You can check it out for yourself later, but the gist is, they wrap this guy's hand in this orange goop and bash it with a hammer - and he doesn't feel a thing. Are you as intrigued as I was? What makes Impactology™ unique is the secret ingredient D30® Impact Fabric used within our designs. It's composed of a non-Newtonian...

A while back, I told you about a Kickstarter project - CellHelmet. Well, we are getting ready to see the final project, and this morning, the machines began rolling, and the product went into production. This has been a fun project to watch, because the CellHelmet team has apprised their backers of every step along the way, every delay, every production move. Nobody ever wondered where they stood, because these guys have sent out an email every night with an update. This is one dedicated and involved team! I was lucky enough to catch up with them at CTIA in New Orleans, and hear directly...

Not too long ago, I told you about a super protective case called the LifeProof. The LifeProof case is now available for many of our favorite mobile phones, and they're here at CTIA to give us a demo of just how indestructible and protective these cases really are.

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,...

So there I was in the C-Spire store looking at Android phones. <yawn> Then I remembered that they now carried the iPhone, so I sauntered over to see what accessories they had. I looked at a display of brightly colored cases, and assumed at first they were Otterbox cases. But the colors were...different. I moved closer and saw that they were Trident cases. Bright blue, red, pink, and more - and they were bright and attractive. I'd never seen cases quite like them before, and never heard of the brand.            I took a pink one from the display, and went to find out the cost. $35 sounded...

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...

Back in March at CTIA, I discovered the DryCase. I shared their little demo with you here on JAGS. It was voted amongst the top 25 in the Last Gadget Standing, and was amongst my top two of show. But seeing a trade show demo, is never quite the same as DIY. So the nice people at DryCase sent me the small model to play with. When you play, you should play with children, so I enlisted the help of my nephew. Of course, it didn't hurt that he has a Kin, and I was far more willing to throw the Kin in a tub of water than my iPhone. They DryCase is as cool as it seemed from a distance, and I'm really...
