It's a pity this wasn't around a few months back when my daughter's iPhone was stolen. But what a clever gadget it is! Not only does it pair with any Bluetooth enabled phone, it acts as a hands-free speakerphone. Two products for the price of one. There's an app coming, first for Android, and then iPhone, which will give you even more options as to how to use your ZOMM. Priced between $79-$99, I'd say it's reasonable. And did I mention there's a model that's totally blinged out? Can you say "Swarovski crystals?" Woot! Take a look at the video, and let us know what you think.

An aptly named product, CleverWraps is more than a sealable ziplock bag. These are protective sleeves for any gadget you own. They allow you to keep whatever the gadge, totally functional. When I finished recording the video you'll see below, she took my little Flip cam, and snugged it away in a CleverWrap. It's now safe to return to Mobile - rainiest city in the US! The phone version comes 5 to a pack for $9.99, while the tablet and e-reader versions come 3 to a pack for $14.99. No matter what you've got, if you want to keep it dry or clean, seal it in a CleverWrap.

I have been a big fan of the Otterbox line since my Treo days. They are stylish and offer great protection in a great range of products. Best example is the Otterbox protecting the brand new Samsung Galaxy S belong to H.L. Flowers (only related by marriage). H.L. works in the shipbuilding industry and can quite frequently be found 10, 20, 30 feet (or more) up off the deck of the ship, installing radio equipment in the mast. So when he purchased the Galaxy S (at my instigation), I encouraged him to get the Otterbox Defender case. Good thing I did and he did, because the first week of ownership,...

We all know that I am the world's worst when it comes to installing screen protectors. I admit it. So when Ryan from Shield Skins emailed me and asked if I'd like to try theirs, I thought - why not?! It's been a while since I tried a screen cover that had a liquid application, and I must admit they do make me nervous. I'm always afraid that if I use enough solution to actually apply the shield properly that I will also trigger the water sensor. But I figured that the worst that could realistically happen would be that I'd have yet another poorly installed screen protector that I'd either...

Video is not typically my thing, but I thought this might be worth the attempt. I ordered an iPhone 4 Clear Full Body Phantom Skinz, sale price $17.46.The kit includes two sets of skins, which came as a surprise to me. I’ve always used Zagg’s Invisible Shield in the past, and was not happy with the last one I used. The Phantom Skinz seems thinner and less gloppy (for lack of a better word). I always struggled applying the film, and this time (as you’ll see) was really no different. I think better lighting would have helped me enormously. Unfortunately, applying this type of film will always...

I'm a one-handed iPhone user. It took me longer than most people to get used to the iPhone's keyboard because I want to hold it on my right hand and type only with my right thumb. I always figured that was the point of having a very small device. I don't mind using two hands for my laptop or my Nikon, but I want one-handed simplicity for my cell phone. We all know I love my iPhone. But I don't love the cramped hand after reading an e-book. And I hate the gymnastics if I try to take a picture with one hand because it's difficult to balance, aim, and still hit the right spot to take the photo....

When I first got my iPhone back in April of '09, I couldn't decide whether or not to put a screen protector on or not. I eventually decided to try it, and when someone gave me a Zagg screen protector, I eagerly installed it. I'd used Zagg skins for years on my Palm Treos and Centro, although I had some problems when I tried installing one on my Treo 800w. Long story short...I didn't like the way it fit on the back of my iPhone, and it was just too thick on the front to be useful. When I got my 3GS in July, I didn't even bother. One of the reasons I had trouble putting the skin on the back of my iPhone...

Do you hate to let other people handle your iPhone? I do. And not always because I’m afraid someone will drop or damage it. Sometimes I just worry about how healthy it is when everyone is handing the same thing. Apparently our friends at Proporta have had the same thoughts, and decided to do something about it. Proporta’s new SteriTouch silicone case is advertised as including an antimicrobial agent. While I won’t pretend to be a scientist, or even understand the scientific principles behind it, this is what they told me: The case incorporates a silver based antimicrobial additive, which...
