IntoMobile Takes the G-Form Extreme Sleeve 2 for a Spin
Buying a case for a tablet can be a fun experience. This is because tablet cases have become less about protecting your shiny new $500+ device and more of a fashion accessory. Choices range from the intriguing to downright odd and hardly functional. At the end of the day, when you drop that bedazzled case, it’ll shatter, along with your tablet on impact. When that happens, you’ll likely wish that you went with something a bit better. Possibly the best case on the market to keep your tablet protected is from G-Form, … Read more

It’s always interesting to see how companies can promote themselves with certain products that have little to do with their end game.

The micro fiber cleaning cloth folds into an attached pocket so … Read more

A company called Breathometer is announcing what it says is the world’s first smartphone breathalyzer, which is easy to carry around and should thus make our roads that much safer.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to get Qi wireless charging accessories
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will have Qi wireless charging by way of a backplate. What’s weird about this new revelation is we had no idea that the GS4 supported this wireless technology. Samsung flat-out dropped the ball when it failed to announce this feature on stage last week. However, thankfully, Qi decided to take matters into its own hands, issuing this statement from its press release: The new Samsung Galaxy S4 uses the Qi wireless charging standard in its optional back battery cover and wireless charging pad accessories, as demonstrated … Read more

Nokia Lumia 620 gets IP54-certified protective shell
Nokia announced a new protective shell for its mass-market Lumia 620 smartphone. However, rather than offering “yet another case,” the Finns came up with a protective shell (CC-3061) that replaces the existing back cover. According to Nokia’s Lumia Product Manager Tells Harri Vuolle, this was done to “honor the design of the phone while maintaining the same shape and design that fits perfectly in the hand.” The gaps between the camera window and the shell as well as the display and the shell are better sealed, and the mesh that … Read more

MetaWatch Frame quick review
Few days ago I got my first smart watch, MetaWatch Frame, and I’m pretty impressed. At the same time, I realize there’s still work ahead for the nascent smart watch industry to bring their devices to the mainstream user. The idea A watch that goes beyond showing time isn’t a novel idea. Just remember all those Casio watches from the 1990′s with a ton of buttons, but the new generation of smart watches is different as they are “phone centric.” However, rather than offering the full phone capabilities like few … Read more

By working in pair with a dedicated app (which will be available for iOS and Android smartphones), this handy accessory can go beyond basic phone alerts to include notifications from a number of different … Read more
