Samsung Galaxy S5 – Review
April 11th I was one of the first people in line to pick up the Galaxy S5 from one of my local T-Mobile shops here in Columbia, SC. I actually used the T-Mobile JUMP Program and traded in my LG G2 which I was very fond of. My wife and I had an appointment to get to and I had to wait an agonizing 3 hours to unbox it and begin the process of having fun with it! Just to be clear I paid for this devic...[Read More]
Review of the Perixx Periduo-880 Bluetooth Keyboard with Touchpad
The rise of the tablet is certainly putting the squeeze on the laptop market. For surfing, media consumption and casual gaming they often offer a better experience than a similarly priced laptop. However when it comes to getting a serious bit of work done, a touchscreen just can’t compare to the accuracy of a proper keyboard and mouse / track-pad. Google’s strategy has been to offer...[Read More]
Pressy – Review
Pressy – Review As an early supporter of the Pressy Kickstarter project, I was drawn in by the concept and thought it would be good for someone who is always looking to optimize the Android experience. I and a lot of people use Tasker for such tasks and it works! Having lots of profiles set to achieve my goals. I thought Pressy would be another step added to that. So I put my money down. I t...[Read More]

This isn’t...[Read More]

HTC M8 Slim Armor Case – Review
HTC One (M8) Case Slim Armor – Review After the GreatShield I thought I would try a case with slightly less bulk for my M8. I went for a case from Spigen who I hadn’t heard of. The Slim Armor looks fantastic, it’s got a slightly more premium feel to it, and feels very suited to the M8. The case uses the two part method to its application. It’s double layered with a TPU case...[Read More]
GreatShield Heavy Duty Hybrid Case – Review
GreatShield Heavy Duty Hybrid Case – Review With a phone like the M8, you need a case with a good look, nice to hold and with a strong brand name.

From start to finish this case is a great accessory. Lets start with the ap...[Read More]
Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review
Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review With more and more bluetooth speakers being released, we are starting to notice an increase in favouritism towards a less fragile design. This makes a lot of sense, as who wants to take a speaker on holiday, or to the beach, and risk dropping it, drenching it or breaking it? Nobody! The most recent feature being added to speakers is a water/splash proof coating. I s...[Read More]
HTC M8 Otterbox Defender Case – Review
HTC M8 Otterbox Defender Case – Review When I held the HTC M8 my first thought was, I have to protect this device. The M8 is a lot of hardware and from having reviewed cases for the HTC One, I knew there was only one case I would need. That was the HTC One M8 OtterBox Defender Case. This case comes with 3 main sections, and offers the most protection for a phone I have ever seen. The phone i...[Read More]
Bidul A-USBKey ST Flash Drive Review
The A-USBKey ST is an USB Flash drive for Smartphones and Tablets, with 2 connectors (USB and micro USB), allowing you to easily add memory or transfer files without cables or a data connection. The internal specs of our Android devices keep improving, but one area that hasn’t seen a vast increase is the internal storage – with many flagship phones still coming with 16GB as standard. A...[Read More]
My week with the HTC One M8
My week with the HTC One M8 Finally with no thanks to Vodafone, I got my HTC One M8. I’ll apologize in advance for the non-linear layout of this write up. Also the phone is rooted and running the latest version of ARHD. The box is almost identical to the original One, so much so that even the woman in Vodafone though it was an original One. The sign is the dual-camera and the different in sh...[Read More]
