Screen protectors – a necessity for some, a nuisance for others. I personally have never really been a big fan of screen protectors, the majority of them either make the screen frustrating to use or give off a strange blue and red look. Just recently, I caught wind of a bubble-free, crystal clear screen protector for the iPad from Moshi. I quickly jumped on it, and I am glad I did as it is one of the best screen protectors I have ever used. Continue reading

Review: Ziotek Flexicord Mini
This will be without a doubt one of the simplest reviews I ever do on TheMacFeed. Michael over at Cyberguys sent me some samples of one of their newest products: the Ziotek Flexicord Mini. It’s one of those things that seems like a great a Secret Santa gift, or at least a practical one, which is a hell of a lot better than the USB drink cooler that got recalled recently. Anyways, my thoughts on the bendable iPod/iPhone cable after the jump. Continue reading
Review: Track Scan VIBRAS
There’s a bit of story around this review… When I stopped by Track Scan’s booth at CES there were quite a few models… including I suppose this one. There was that really stuck out though, a $50 model that provided audio quality on par with just about all the traditional headphones I had heard that day… TheMacFeed got the VIBRAS after CES all the way back in January… Daniel had them and for whatever reason couldn’t review these. For a while, it perplexed me. He has handled all the gaming headphones up until this point for a reason… I’m not a gamer. I’ll occasionally play some Madden or Forza, but I would never consider myself a gamer. Hence, he does all those reviews. This is however… my review. Continue reading
Review: OtterBox Defender for iPhone 4
Of all the cases available for the iPhone for, there are only a few that bill themselves as being rugged or particularly durable. OtterBox has long had a reputation for making excellent durable cases for a variety of phones. Earlier this year, I reviewed their Defender case for the iPhone 3G/3GS, and now I’ll be taking a look at their iPhone 4 case by the same name – The OtterBox Defender. Click the jump to read more.

Review: Breo de Janeiro
It seems to be a growing trend within whatever segment of the market it is: a lifestyle accessory company. Names like: Nixon and WESC are the first of many that come to mind of companies who make watches, clothes, bags and… headphones. I’m not sure what the appeal is for companies to do that and some part of me believes that it isn’t as lucrative as it might seem given that branding superpowers like Monster Cable have shied away. Still, here’s another. This one comes from Breo, a British company that I really haven’t heard of. Still, I hadn’t heard of Thinksound, and we all know how that turned out. Today, my thoughts on their cutely named, de Janeiro headphones.
Review: SoundID 510 Headset
Bluetooth headsets are becoming increasingly innovative as their popularity increases, with each brand finding unique ways to distinguish its products. My previous review of a bluetooth headset, the Jawbone Icon, introduced the truly unique idea of being able to “program” your headset with voices and features, and the ability to add and remove features such as A2DP via the use of “apps” made for your headset – all from your Mac or PC! This time around, the standards are set, and SoundID’s newest offering takes software control of your headset to a whole new level. Click the jump to find out more! Continue reading
Review: Archival Clothing Rucksack
So… I’ve been known to review a few backpacks over my time here at TheMacFeed. Today’s a little bit out of my comfort zone. When I first saw Archival Clothing’s Rucksack, I thought it just looked cool. It’s not really a backpack that I would review, mainly because it has zero to do with notebooks. Perhaps that’s a stretch. It’s just not made for notebooks. That being said, it’s not like it can’t hold notebooks. So the cool people at Archival Clothing made my day and sent one over… Continue reading
Review: Loopbag Transit Mini Laptop Case
Yes, another bag. Today, the Loopbag Transit, a bag designed for 12-inch laptops or, for us, an iPad. Loopbag is a premium laptop bag supplier and their prices reflect it. The only question is, is it worth it? Continue reading
Steve Jobs, Meet Blu-Ray (How To: Play Blu-Ray Media on a Mac)
There has been an ongoing debate in the Mac community regarding the usage of Blu-Ray technology on Apple’s fine line of computers. Some contend that optical discs are dying as a medium for software and multimedia distribution. Others disagree, but argue that Blu-Ray will not take off as a competitor to the DVD. I have my own ideas about that topic, but politics aside (for now), my main aim is to show an intermediate solution for those of you who do desire to view Blu-Ray content on your Macs. Contrary to common belief, this is not impossible… Although it may not be what you were expecting either. Continue reading
Review: Ballistic HC Series Case
It’s quite odd. It’s been over a month since the iPhone 4 was put into a couple million people’s hands and major case companies like Incase are just now shipping relatively basic cases? When I reviewed Hard Candy’s Bubble Slider, it was important to mention that it was of the only cases on the market when the iPhone launched. Even today, a stroll through the Apple Store is a bit disappointing. A trip to the AT&T Store and there’s one case that really stands out: the HC Series case by Ballistic. Continue reading
