Macally Holster Case with Belt Clip & Stand for iPhone 5 Review

Cases, iPhone, iPhone Cases, Review 0

When it comes to iPhone cases they are a dime a dozen. One thing you rarely see in an iPhone case is a belt clip attachment. At least, I have rarely seen any- until I learned about the Macally Holster Case with Belt Clip & Stand for iPhone 5. Why would you want a belt clip? There are times you might want to leave the house in pants that don’t have pockets, possibly while exercising. There might be times when your pockets are too full and you don’t want to squezee you phone in there. I’m sure you could come up with reasons. Anyway, this Macally case for $29.99 is a great option.

Brenthaven BX2 Camera Backpack – Review

Back Pack, Bag, Camcorder, Camera, Cases, Features, iPad, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro, Review 0

The Brenthaven BX2 Backpack, a medium sized camera bag with padded shoulder straps and a chest strap, accompanied me on a trip to the California coast. I carried a DSLR with an 18-55mm lens on the camera body and two additional lenses, plus a 70-200mm telephoto and a 35mm, and had plenty of room to spare. In addition, a side zipper opened into a compartment for an iPad or 15″ laptop computer.

Twist360 – Review

Cases, iPad, Stand, Tablet 0

Bracketron’s Twist360 has four spring clips to securely grip the iPad (as well as many other tablets and e-readers). With the device attached, the iPad can be propped up on a table or other flat surface. The 4-inch ring on the back can be adjusted to a comfortable viewing angle. This ring also rotates so that the iPad can be viewed horizontally or vertically. It is encased in silicone so it doesn’t slide and it also serves as a comfortable carrying handle.

Universal Tablet Headrest Mount – Review

Adapter, Cases, iPad 0

Bracketron provides a clever way to securely mount an iPad (or other tablet) to the headrest of one of the forward seats in your car. A big screen HD TV in the back seat of a car? Well, pretty close! Most car DVD players have fairly small, low resolution screens. The 10 inch iPad retina screen seems gloriously huge and crisp by comparison. It’s certainly big enough for everyone in the back seat to see it clearly.

Back-iT iPad Hard Case – Review

Cases, iPad, Review 0

Apple’s Smart Cover for the iPad is a brilliant piece of engineering and design but it only covers the iPad’s screen. The aluminum back is exposed to all the scratches and dings of everyday life. Bracketron’s Back-iT solves this problem with a very simple, if fairly expensive, cover for the iPad’s back.

ZooGue BinderPad Pouch – Review

Apple, Cases, iPad, iPad 2, Review 0

The BinderPad is a soft, yet durable polyester case custom-fitted for the iPad 2. What sets it apart from other tablet cases is that there are grommets that fit any standard three-ring binder along the case’s left-hand edge. Measuring just under the standard notebook paper size of eight and a half by eleven inches, the BinderPad fits nicely inside of just about any three-ring notebook.

Two iPad Accessories You Need to See – Review

Apple, Apps, Cases, Cover, First Look, iPad, iPad 2, Review 3

The SmartMate case is a protective, hard-plastic case that simply snaps onto your iPad 2. The most noteworthy exception to the norm here is that the case is designed to work in conjunction with Apple’s Smart Cover. Most hard cases don’t allow you to do so, and having that option is great. I love using Apple’s Smart Cover and I’m always annoyed when a case won’t work with it.
