Olloclip 4-in-1 Photo Lens for Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 Review
Most people enjoy digital photography in some shape or form these days, from the professional photographer who carries a DSLR with lenses costing more than my car, to the abundance of smartphone photographers relying on Instagram filters to make their selfies more palatable. Somewhere in the middle is the amateur photographer who’s interested in capturing some cool artsy shots with relatively inex...[Read More]

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]

Cambridge Audio DacMagic XS – Review
Good things come in small packages, or so the saying goes. In the case of the Cambridge Audio DacMagic XS it’s certainly true. This thing is tiny. 30 x 10 x 53.5mm and 100g (3.5oz) in weight, but it’s build quality is excellent. At one end you’ll find a micro-USB input, at the other a 3.5mm analogue output. On the top just two buttons for volume control, the + and – symbols...[Read More]
Tech21 Impact Snap D3O Case with Cover Review
D3O is an amazing material that is soft until stuck, after which it goes rock hard and absorbs the shock throughout the material. If you haven’t already seen this material in action I’d recommend searching for D3O on YouTube for videos including phones and even eggs being thrown at full force against the wall and surviving without a mark. Tech21 are leading the way in building D3O into...[Read More]

TYLT Alin & Cloak Screen Protection Review for S4
To give you a little background, I like to protect my gadgets and used to put screen protection on all my devices. I’m not sure if it’s just me who is particularly awkward, but the fitting process rarely went smoothly and I often ended up with it not looking completely straight and with the odd air bubble here and there making the device look a mess. On switching to Android I therefor...[Read More]
Zenus Masstige Color Point Leather Case Review for the Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung have taken a lot of flak for their liberal use of plastic for the outer shell of their devices, and for me this has been getting worse with the shiny plastic back on the S4 feeling cheaper and less grippy than my previous S2 with it’s textured back. It seems they’ve finally started to take a little notice, with the recent Galaxy Note 3 and Note 10.1 2014 edition having a synth...[Read More]
Smart IR Remote – Samsung/HTC Review
A few years ago I got sick of juggling all the remotes in my living room and purchased a Harmony Universal Remote. After extensive set up and tweaking of the configuration it was finally able to replace all my other remotes, and I’ve been using it exclusively ever since. Now with the HTC One and quite a few of the recent Samsung devices including an IR Blaster and a rebranded version of the ...[Read More]
