IPEVO Mini Network Storage Adapter: Review

INTRODUCTION
Have you ever wondered why your hard drive is so full – why there is a cluster of seemingly useless data hogging your precious computer’s bites? Maybe you’re too lazy to purchase a handy-dandy external hard drive. Or maybe you haven’t the time to transfer thousands of files from one drive to another. Either way, [...]

Aquapac Mega-Review: Waterproof MP3 Case, Headphones, and Phone Pouch

INTRODUCTION
Have you ever longed to use your beloved phone or perhaps your iPod in the shower? Maybe you’ve been dying for your Glee fixation while you swim laps in the pool?

Beats Studio by Dr. Dre– we unbox the Crossfade LPs’ most formidable competitor

Beats Studio by Dr. Dre– we unbox the Crossfade LPs’ most formidable competitor

We know we’re late to the party with this one too, but here’s the deal:
A few weeks ago, I lauded the Crossfade LPs for their stylish design and robust sound filled with all the bass you could ever imagine. In that review, however, I also (unfairly) took a jab at Monster and their popular ‘Beats [...]

V-MODA Crossfade LPs: Review

V-MODA Crossfade LPs: Review

INTRODUCTION
When I first laid my eyes on V-MODA’s Crossfade LPs (for all intensive purposes, Crossfades), I knew that I would have to get my hands (and ears) on a set of my own—I’d never seen a pair of headphones that looked quite like ‘em.

A day or two later, the Press Release arrived in my inbox—an [...]

Sena UltraSlim Leather Case for iPhone 4: Review

INTRODUCTION
As someone whose used an iPhone since day one, it’s safe to say I’ve been through my fair share of cases. And, I’ll be honest: a lot of my experiences haven’t been pretty. I’ve endured everything from the breaking of a rubber slip-on case after a week of use to waiting weeks for a mesely [...]

WaterField Designs iPad Ultimate SleeveCase: Review

INTRODUCTION
Over the past few months, I’ve really grown to love my iPad.

Case-Mate Barely There Case for the Bold 9700: Review

INTRODUCTION
A few weeks ago, my BlackBerry Bold 9700 gave up on me– all of a sudden the OS was sluggish, the phone failed to recognize the standby key, and I was dropping calls left and and right. It wasn’t a pretty picture.

Stewart/Stand Stainless Steel Bi-Fold Wallet: Review

INTRODUCTION
If you’re not a wallet (or fresh new design company) expert, chances are you haven’t heard of Stewart/Stand. This Brooklyn-based design enterprise launched in 2002; ironically, it wasn’t started by two guys named “Stewart” and “Stand”. Rather, the company was actually started by designer Theo Stewart-Stand and his managing partner Paul Stewart-Stand. Not exactly the [...]

The iPhone 4 Review

The iPhone 4 Review

INTRODUCTION
At WWDC just a few short weeks ago, Steve Jobs officially announced the iPhone 4 after a series of gaffes and scandals (Gizmogate as techies called it).
During his keynote speech, Steve introduced us to the new iPhone’s “revolutionary” new features—its speedy A4 processor, an entirely new industrial design, a gorgeous Retina display, out-of-the-box compatibility with [...]
