OtterBox Ups The Gaudiness, Introduces 3D iPhone Cases

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Thursday 25 April 2013. No responses

OtterBox has introduced a 3D version of its Commuter Series case. The new version of the Commuter gives the case a bit of cheesy flare by offering three different 3D designs on the back of the case: the Skull, the Tropical and the Western Flower. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of OtterBox's new designs as they look a bit gaudy and overstated. Each of the three new designs is offered in a different color: Ninja (green), Sea Foam (teal), and Bloom (pink). These colors are a bit flashy for my taste, but it's nice to see OtterBox try something ... more

New iPhone App, Panty Combo Lets You 'Touch' People Remotely From iPhone

Posted by Joshua Schnell on Thursday 18 April 2013. No responses

Kinky just got a little boost today. Durex, yes that Durex, has just released a video showing off its new Fundawear. Long story short, you can fondle your lovers love-parts remotely from an iPhone without ever having to be in the same room, city, or country. The underwear is available for both men and women, but from the looks of it you have to win your way into these panties. Durex is pegging this as a way to transfer 'touch' across great distances. A cool idea in itself. But even cooler is that the whole concept was built on ... more

Keep Your MagSafe 2 Adapter Safe With This Key Chain

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Monday 15 April 2013. No responses

If you purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina display or MacBook Air in mid-2012 or later, you probably already know that your MacBook charges via a MagSafe 2 connector. Because of this, your new laptop cannot be charged by older MagSafe chargers, including the one in the Apple Cinema Display and Thunderbolt Display. However, Apple does sell a $9.99 adapter that converts original MagSafe chargers to MagSafe 2 compatible chargers, allowing you to use your old chargers and displays. The only issue I've come across when using the MagSafe 2 adapter is how small and easy to lose it is when ... more

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Monday 15 April 2013. No responses

If your heart died alongside your NES, you may want to pick up an 8-Bit Bumper for your iPhone. The back and sides of the case feature an array of tiny blocks that are meant to emulate 8-bit pixels. These pixels make up a large 8-bit Apple logo that gives the case an 80s video game look that any Apple or video game enthusiast can appreciate. This case features both back and side protection to protect your iPhone 4, 4S and 5 from damage due to scratching and dropping. The case is crafted from a TPU material, meaning that it's flexible, ... more

Stream Games From Your iPad To Your Apple //e

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Monday 8 April 2013. No responses

If you have an old Apple //e kicking around, but don't have a tape drive to load games off of, you may want to try streaming games to it from your iPad. This can be done pretty easily by loading the Apple Game Server Online and connecting the audio output from your iPad into your Apple //e's audio input. The Apple //e's audio input is usually used for a tape drive. Once everything is connected, boot up your Apple //e, press CONTROL + RESET and type "LOAD" into the prompt. From your iPad, select a game and start ... more

Keep Your EarPods Organized With This Gadget Stand

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Friday 5 April 2013. No responses

I love my EarPods, but I find my pair getting constantly tangled when in my pocket or my messenger bag. While I could coil them up, I would run the risk of damaging the cable or the speaker itself. I recently stumbled upon a product on Amazon that not only keeps your EarPods untangled and protected, but works as a stand for your iPad mini, iPod touch or iPhone. The EarPod case and stand is produced by a company called Square Jellyfish. The company is well known for its stands and mounts for smartphones, tablets and cameras. The company's EarPod ... more

Find Your Stolen Bike With The BikeSpike

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Friday 5 April 2013. No responses

As an avid urban cyclist in the city of Chicago, I'm always a bit paranoid about my bicycle being stolen. After all, it is my main mode of transportation and a source of fun and exercise. Because of this, I'm in need of a way to track my bicycle if it is ever stolen (*knock on wood*) so I have an easier way to work with Chicago law enforcement to retrieve my bike. While I haven't been able to find a simple tracking device to do this yet, BikeSpike, a current Kickstarter project, may be able to solve this issue ... more

Sometimes Two Inches Is Enough: Wacom Releases New Stylus

Posted by Joshua Schnell on Tuesday 2 April 2013. No responses

No matter what you've been told in the past, sometimes two inches is big enough to get the job done. Wacom, the fine folks behind those gorgeous tablets that designers use, has released a brand new stylus that measures just 1.85 inches, and it may just convince you to change your mind about the umpteen other styli you have for iOS devices. The Bamboo Stylus mini is made of brass, and coated with soft rubber. It has interchangeable tips and is capacitive (obviously). In short, it looks like a crayon, and comes in six colors. Who doesn't want a Crayon ... more

Stay Organized With The Station

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Tuesday 2 April 2013. No responses

When I sit down at my desk, the first thing I do is take my iPhone, keys and earbuds out of my pocket. I usually just throw these objects about my desk, only to forget them when heading back out. In order to fix this issue, I tried using a desk caddy, only to find that I couldn't easily access my iPhone due to the lack of a stand within the caddy. That's where the Station comes in. The Station is essentially a desk caddy split up into three sections: one for your smartphone, one for a pen and one for ... more

Make Your iPad Functional And Stylish With The PaletteCase

Posted by Andrew Kunesh on Tuesday 2 April 2013. No responses

When it comes to purchasing an iPad case, I always look at two things: function and style. The PaletteCase, produced by two brothers — Nick and Beau Trincia — based out of San Francisco, is a perfect example of an iPad case that fits my expectations for both. In terms of functionality, the PaletteCase offers a built-in stand. The stand is removable and, when not in use, is stored on the front of your iPad's screen and is held in via magnets. Once removed, you can fold the stand into a triangle and snap it onto the back of the case. This ... more
