Otterbox Reflex Series for iPod Touch 4th Gen (4G) Review

Coming in either a stylish blue, black or pink, the Reflex series makes sure you get noticed. The Reflex uses a mixture of plastic and rubber on the exterior. I really like the way the Reflex feels within the hand and in use, its curves and rubber/ plastics make it feel very comfortable and thin.

To get your iPod touch into the Reflex you'll need to snap the case into two parts and slide the iPod into one of those parts and then slide the second part remaining back onto your iPod. A fabric material covers some of the interior protecting your iPod from scratches. The two part design works really well. With a lot of two parts design cases the connection in the middle wears away rather quickly which can make it fall apart in your pocket and leave a gap within the two parts leaving your device sloppy inside. So I'm happy to tell you the Reflex doesn't suffer from any of these symptoms.

CaseCrown Omni Cover Case for iPad 2 Review

Many have pointed out that the Apple Smart Cover is an awesome case/cover but doesn't protect the back of your iPad 2. The CaseCrown Omni Case appears to try and solve this problem with a Smart Cover like design as well as full rear protection.

The exterior body is all black and doesn't yet come in any other colors which is a shame considering the amount the Smart Cover comes in. But never the less the black is quite nice looking and sets it off well. The back of the case is made of polycarbonate and feels very rubbery, I suppose it's a soft touch material and lends itself well on tables and in your hands. The front is more smooth and looks and acts like the Smart Cover. All in all the Omni Case keeps that thinness of your iPad 2 and covers everything at the same time.

OtterBox Reflex Series for iPad 2 Review

We loved the OtterBox Reflex Series on the iPhone and iPod touch but the one device we really wanted it to come to was the iPad. And it has.

Despite that one thing we all really liked about the Reflex Series is the colors it comes in. This only comes in black at the moment and is a real shame, we only hope that more color options are added in the future. Having said that the case looks great in black. The case is made out of a polycarbonate shell will rubber corners. The Reflex for the iPad 2 is so thin and feels very comfortable when in use.

Speck FitFolio Case for iPad 2 Review

The variety of colours offered from Speck with the FitFolio case for iPad 2 won't disappoint. With blue, purple, red, black and grey being offered and all colours look very sharp.

A soft leather like material is used on the exterior of the case and this feels great in the hands. The case doesn't do the thin profile of the iPad 2 any harm either.

The iPad sits in a hard plastic shell that doesn't cover the bezel at all so Apps and overall use of your iPad aren't restricted in any way. The shell clips itself snuggly around the iPad and it's easily removed also. Left to the plastic shell is a felt lining which also cleans the screen and prevents it from getting scratched when the case is closed.

Lusso Cartella Luxury Business - Slim Office Case for New iPad (3/3rd Generation) and iPad 2 Review

This is undoubtedly the most expensive iPad case we have ever reviewed and after a good two weeks of it being my only iPad case, I think I'm ready to give my verdict on it.

It's called the Lusso Cartella Luxury iPad case and Lusso Cartella means luxury cases in Italian. Fitting the iPad 2 and the just released New iPad. The first thing I saw of this product like every other was the box and this comes in one which is well worth writing about. It reminded me of the box Harry Potter was presented with when he received his first wand. Once you have lifted the lid off the box you'll find the case inside a cloth bag, everything's presented in a plush, luxurious manner.

The case itself is handmade and that translates into the best build quality and materials used on a case that I have ever seen. Stitching is ridiculously precise and every element is precisely square and perfect. You just know a great deal of time has been used to make these. Real leather the sole material used and is found on the exterior and on the interior and you can choose from a variety of textures and colours. With over two weeks of regular daily usage no sign of wear or tear has arisen.

Pong Research Anti Radiation Case for iPhone 4 and 4S Review

The Pong Soft Touch iPhone 4 & 4S Case is made out of soft to touch Lexan. Lexan is the same material NASA has used to make helmets and if you laminate sheets of Lexan together it can with stain a bullet. So the material is pretty strong. It feels comfortable in the hand which is also partly down to the nicely designed case.

I whole skew of vibrant colours are available with black, red, green, blue, purple, and pink being offered. I have the green which definitely stands out. Getting the iPhone into the case is quite simple, you have to snap it into place which when done the first time makes the case creak & crack a bit, which I was a little worried about but it doesn't seem to of mattered after a few weeks of use. The iPhone is kept very tightly within the case which is good but if you have any dirt trapped between the rear of your iPhone and the case, your iPhone could get scratched due to the hard coating of the cases interior.

What Are Some Of The Most Popular Cell Phone Accessories?

There are more cell phones being used today than ever before, and the number is increasing everyday. Cell phone accessories are a terrific way to upgrade and enhance your phone, customizing it to your specific taste. Because the demand for these accessories is increasing, the cell phone accessories market is growing rapidly. Today there are many different types of mobile phone accessories that are both affordable and useful. Because there are so many cell phone accessories available (and new products coming out all the time), it can be difficult even knowing what is available! To help in your mobile phone accessory search, the following is summary of some of the most popular cell phone accessories.

The Bluetooth headset is one of the most popular mobile accessories. The Bluetooth headset is a very important and functional accessory because it gives you the ability to talk on the mobile phone without having to hold it. Usually these consist of ear pieces with build in microphones that connect via Bluetooth (digitally) to your phone. While they free up your hands for convenience and comfort, it is also a health benefit because there is research showing that keeping the mobile phone next to your head during the initial several seconds of a call can raise cranial temperature. Furthermore most countries have passed laws in recent years that ban people from holding a phone while driving. With a Bluetooth headset, you can keep the conversation going while you sit in traffic.

How Different Are Cell Phone Covers From Model To Model?

Cell phone covers and cases are purchased by users who seek to add aesthetic appeal; improve function and performance all while protecting their phone from potential damage. Whether cosmetic improvement or protection is the driving factor for purchasing a case or cover, the number of available options will ensure you find something that suits your needs. It's just a matter of doing your research to find the best product for your make and model. Cell phone covers provide a number of functions that include: protecting the phone from scratches; making the phone more appealing and perhaps most importantly, making the phone more durable.

As previously mentioned, there is a plethora of different cases on the market today that vary in form and function. A type of cover called a body glove protects and adds durability to the phone. Body gloves are normally made of neoprene that fits tightly around the casing of the phone. They can come with an attachment used for clipping the phone to a purse strap or belt. It is a practical choice for someone who needs extra cell phone protection and wants to minimize shock if the phone is dropped. While these cases are great for functional elements, you may be limited in cosmetic choices due to the material they are made of.

As mentioned, there are no covers that will fit with every phone and there are no universal covers. Various models require specific cases as each model will vary in dimension, and the same model will vary from year to year. Shields and skins are two other types of cases that will only fit the specific model they were designed for. Their differences are in how they are secured to the phone and the type of materials they are made of. For instance, a skin is made of soft silicone that stretches and pulls to fit securely over the entire phone. A shield is made of a hard material and has a back piece and a front piece that snaps around the phone. Both styles are available in many different patterns and colors, offering both form and function.
