So I picked this up over Black Friday when it was $10 off the normal $39.99 price. We are using the iPad daily now that it’s in the kitchen as opposed to being ignored on the bedstand. The boys love using FaceTime or watching YouTube videos at breakfast and before dinner. Not having the ability to rotate the iPad like other stands is a big deal to me and thus I would not recommend buying this stand. Please watch my review here and let me know if you think I was too harsh or on the money?

Loading ...iPhone4idiots Accessory Review – Nutshell Case
Full disclosure, Nutshell was kind enough to send me the two cases you see pictured here. I’m very grateful as the majority of other iPhone accessory companies are wankers who don’t even respond to my emails. This New Zealand based company makes a quality product, but you should expect nothing less from the only country not to lose a game at the 2010 World Cup! Yes, I’m a soccer nerd and that’s a great trivia question. Both cases are New Zealand leather lined with ultrasuede and backed by a screen shield. The cases can be used for any iPhone or iPod Touch as both my 3G with American Flag skin and iPhone 4 fit snuggly into the case. These are hard core cases that protect your iDevice from everything other than water. A testimonial on their website is from a motorcycle rider who crashed and slid 30 feet across pavement. The case not only protected his cell phone, but a critical part of his anatomy as well! Continue Reading…
iPhone4idiots Accessory Review – Mophie Juice Pack Air
If you aren’t lucky enough to have an iPhone 4 yet then depending on your usage you might be draining your iPhone’s battery everyday. This is where the Mophie Juice Pack Air comes in handy. I got it for my trip to South Africa as I didn’t want to risk not having my iPhone available for calls, pictures, video or internet (Facebook and Twitter especially). What’s great about this product is not only does it give you extra battery life but it also acts as a case for your iPhone 3G or 3GS. You can get a Mophie Juice Pack Air in black, purple or white. The Mophie Juice Pack Air has two parts as you can see in the picture to the left. The larger lower section contains the battery and where the iPhone docks into the “case” and the upper segment which covers the top of your iPhone. You just slide your iPhone down onto the dock and then slide the top part over until it snaps into place. Once in the “case” your iPhone has a heavier more solid feel. Not the best for keeping in your pocket, but if you drop the device the Juice Pack will provide your iPhone with decent protection. Continue Reading…
iPhone4idiots Accessory Review – Marware SportGrip Edge
Looking for protection for your new iPhone 4 but don’t won’t to hide your pretty new toy in case? Well the Marware SportGrip Edge for iPhone 4, $19.99, might be for you and we’ve got two to give away! Marware advertises this as a “minimalist protection solution”. The SportGrip Edge includes a soft colorful plastic band for edge protection and front and rear protective film. The film protects your iPhone 4 against scratches yet leaves your new toy for all to see. The SportGrip Edge comes in six colors: black, blue, clear, pink, red and white. My wife and I had drastically different thoughts on the SportGrip. To see why and how to win one. Continue Reading…
BlueAnt Q1 – Voice controlled hands free calling :)
I’ve never used Bluetooth for anything other than a mouse. But given a number of states have passed laws about hands free driving I decided to take the plunge with a Bluetooth headset. Even Tennessee, where almost everything is legal, might one day pass this law so why not be an early adopter. Frankly, texting or surfing while you drive is more dangerous, but the laws are always way behind the times. Anyway, I jumped on Ebay and purchased a BlueAnt Q1 “like new” for $50. The MSRP sticker on the back says $129.99 which I just can’t see spending. However, overall I’m quite pleased with the purchase as this headset is really sweet. Be sure to check out my video review at the end of the post that shows how simple it is to use with your iPhone. Continue Reading…
