To insert your iPad into the case, you'll have to flip open the leather front flap and slide your ... more -
If you're a music enthusiast, chances are you like to listen to music when you're on the go.

In these types of situations, you'll probably want to use a Bluetooth speaker to play music. Unfortunately, most Bluetooth speaker options on the market are pretty expensive with some retailing for over $200. However, the folks at Divoom are aiming to fix this issue ... more -
If you're an avid cyclist, chances are you carry a U-lock to keep your bicycle secure when running into the grocery store or your favorite coffee shop.

It turns out that Apple's innovative Smart Cover might be more dangerous than its colorful appearance would tell. 14 year old Gianna Chien has done a study proving that the smart cover's built in magnets have a high risk of turning off implanted defibrillators for those with serious heart problems.

The security software Apple uses to protect its iPhones is good. Perhaps too good. The devices are allegedly so hard to crack that police need to go to Apple themselves to retrieve information from them. Sometimes Apple can put these police on waiting lists that last for over a month until they can finally get the information they want. Read the full story over at CNET. -
I love my gadgets, but carrying around three different cables to charge and sync my Lightning, 30-pin, and Micro USB devices can get annoying. However, the folks at iPhone 5 Mod have recently developed a USB cable that has attachments to work with both Lightning and 30-pin devices as well as standard Micro USB devices.

Sure, you could buy a Thunderbolt or USB to Ethernet adapter, but then you're tethered to the wall. However, Kanex aims to fix this issue with the mySpot: a tiny wireless router that reroutes any ethernet connection wirelessly. The mySpot is powered via USB and is ideally paired ... more
