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. Read the rest of this entry »
iPhone Accessories
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.

When it comes to skins for electronics GelaSkins is the first company that comes to mind, but just recently I heard a new name… SmirkAbout. Who are they? They are an Australian-based company that just recently launched in December 2009 in direct competition with GelaSkins, a much more mature company that has a bit more experience under its belt. Does that necessarily make them better? My side-by-side comparison after the break… Read the rest of this entry »
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! Read the rest of this entry »
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.
Portable batteries for your iPhone or iPad are becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, as a product reviewer, I tend to see a real lack of innovation in this area. Tons of companies are releasing products that are pretty much the same as what’s already out there: There are a lot of versions of the “charging case,” tons of “battery bricks” that slip into your pocket, and about a million small devices that plug right in to an iPod connector. Scosche had manaed to come out with an iPod/iPhone/iPad battery with a unique design, that actually manages to stand out from the crowd, and they call it the solBAT II. Read the rest of this entry »
The iPhone 4 being released just a short time ago still does not have a wide array of cases and accessories in the market yet. MacAlly has quite a few in the works and we were lucky enough to get their Clear Flexible Case (FLEXFITP4) for review before its release to the public. Read the rest of this entry »
