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]
