We’ve seen quite a few iPhone and iPad cases at CES – far too many to remember, actually. But one brand in particular stuck out. German based company “Kavaj” showed off their small but well made range of iPhone and iPad cases at Showstoppers on Monday night, giving us a nice hands on of what we have to look forward to as their cases float on over to the U.S. (first time) in the coming weeks. For them, quality is greater than quantity, and as such,...
Because of Apple’s ridiculousness with the unnecessarily strict rules pertaining to the Lightning connector, getting any useful accessories with said port have been damn near impossible. Charging your phone has required lugging around a Lightning cable as thus far no integrated solutions have hit the market. Likewise, we are just now seeing battery cases at CES 2013 with integrated Lightning ports, though, many aren’t scheduled for release until sometime in the...
The gadget fiend lives and dies by the battery. And all too often, that battery tuckers out far too early. HyperJuice has been working for years on preventing that inevitable death with their wide range of various sized battery packs made specifically for Macs and iOS devices. At CES 2013, HyperJuice took the covers off their latest loves, the HyperJuice 2, Pico and Plug. Hyper Juice 2 The HyperJuice 2 is noteworthy for it’s ability to charge MacBook and two iPads at...
We’re always looking for the next mobile accessory manufacturer to wow us. Their products don’t necessarily have to be crazy out there in terms of design or functionality. A simple, well designed and reliable product is just as desirable. Also, something where countless attention to detail was also employed scores big points in our book. And that’s exactly what MiPOW brought to CES for their first foray into the U.S./N.A. market. While the company showed...
One of the meetings we had today was a very special one for both Mike and myself, the reason is because we both love our Apple computers and we love us some headshots when gaming. But, if you know anything about OS X, you’ll know that it is somewhat impossible to get full accessory support with any gaming peripherals. So when we heard about a company that was set out to specifically design a set of gaming accessories for the Mac OS X we immediately knew this was...
So after stopping by the iFrogz / ZAGG booth last night at the Digital Experience, we were invited to an unveiling of a special jump into the gaming arena. We knew nothing about it, other than that Epic had been developing for it. After leaving intrigued, we couldn’t wait to get the viewing this afternoon. So after walking around and watching some crazy wubstep dancing (if that is what you would call it) we happened to the upstairs area over the ZAGG booth. We sat down...
Last night while we were trolling the Pepcom Digital Experience, we happened to stumble across a booth that was littered (good litter with colorful cases for all of the World’s devices. Ranging from iDevices to Android and Kindle. Intrigued by the design of the case that was wrapped around the new iPad, we went ahead and gave them a try. The company is M-Edge, and they make crazy and stylish cases for all of your devices. We got to demo pretty much everything they...
TVs Just as LG, Samsung and many other TV manufacturers showed off their 4K hardware, Sony hit the ground running today to show us that they too can play in this UHD game. Unveiled at CES are Sony’s new 55-inch and 65-inch ultra high definition 4K TVs to accompany their previously released 84-inch model – that which features a $25k price tag. (Six going on the Gadgetsteria Amex tomorrow!) WiFi and NFC mirroring are built-in as are various lengthy acronyms for...
A nice release that came out of the iBattz camp here at CES this morning, they have officially announced 3 new cases for the iPhone 5. iBattz is a company you may know from the charging game, so it is nice to see them continue their run with advancing the somewhat short amount of actual battery cases for the iPhone 5. So far we really only have snap-on style batter solutions because of the fact that Apple has been dragging their feet to help 3rd party manufacturers get out a...
The iPhone is a wonderful piece of art and display of modern engineering. But that beauty comes with a price – it’s fragile. Rugged cases for the iPhone are one of the biggest mini-markets for iPhone accessories. Just look at how many Otterbox cases you see on iPhones when out and about. At 2013 CES, the rugged case scene is getting even more diverse with two new models by Optrix and Seidio. The Optrix XD5 is an ultra-rugged case that is thinner, lighter yet...
