[IMG]Braven | Speaker | $ 179.99

Braven is a company that seems to have their focus in the bluetooth speaker market. In the dense world of audio, it seems that a new BT speaker pops up every day. Like the previous couple I’ve recently reviewed, this one is spec’d to be waterproof as well. The overall audio quality isn’t too bad either.  (more…)

Review: OlloClip

OlloClip | Detachable Lens | $ 69.99

With each iteration of the iPhone, Apple has included minute upgrades to the camera. With the iPhone 5, a new lens was placed on it. Phone cameras have improved vastly in the past few years. Their flexability, however, has remained quite constant. They make great point ‘n shoots, and everyone knows that the best camera is the one on you. The OlloClip hopes to extend the power of the iPhone’s camera by supplying a lens.  (more…)

Cygnett: A Purveyor of Designer iPhone and iPad Cases and Accessories

Cygnett iPhone 5

When I attended International CES at the beginning of this year, I was enthused by accessory maker Cygnett, based out of Melbourne, Australia. The company, like many others of it kind, makes cases and other accessories for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and select Android smartphones and tablets.

But an interesting fact about Cygnett is that it partners with highly-regarded designers throughout the world to make premium and stylish products. Take a look inside as we go hands-on with a number of Cygnett cases for the iPhone 5, iPad, iPad mini and fifth-generation iPod touch. (more…)

Additionally, their cases tend to do a good job protecting the devices that rest within. The Speck CandyShell keeps all of these ideas in mind to protect the iPod within.   (more…)

Moshi had a great line of headphones, and their line of cases seems to be no different. The iGlaze Touch G5 is Moshi’s only case for the iPod Touch. It’s a thinshell minimalistic case with a hint of detail to it.   (more…)

Review: NuForce S3-BT

NuForce | Speakers | $299.00

NuForce has always been a company to watch for in the audio scene. They produce many goods include amps, dacs, speakers, headphones, and even IEMs. The S3-BT are, like their name suggests, wireless Bluetooth speakers. They come in a pair and make a good pair of bookshelf speakers if I don’t say so myself; they make an excellent set of wireless speakers.   (more…)

Sensu: The Paintbrush Stylus

2013-02-14 17_02_49-Sensu Brush - Portable Artist Brush & Stylus for Touchscreen Devices

I don’t know too many iOS artists, but there’s no doubt that they exist; some have produced some very high quality work. But what stylus (if any) do they use to create such magnificent artwork? I wouldn’t be able to tell you, but the Sensu brush would be a pretty good option.

I’ve never been a big stylus fan, but when I received the Sensu brush stylus in the mail, I found myself dumbfounded at its originality. It only makes sense that artists who want to “paint” on iOS use a stylus that might as well be a paintbrush. I don’t find myself very often interested in such artistic endeavors, but that doesn’t take away from the product itself. (more…)
