I’ve been reviewing products for many years now and I’ve learned in that time that most products don’t meet the hype surrounding them. They seem so great, awesome, cool, whatever other adjective you could come up with, in the ads, but once you get them they’re just not all that. Take the product I have for review today from Think Geek called the Joystick-It that is a mini joystick for your iPhone, iPod or Android devices, pretty much anything that has a capacitive screen will work. In my time with it I found it’s just not all that, frankly it doesn’t work most of the time…

Mobility Digest Review: World’s smallest Micro SDHC USB Card Reader
So how about another review today? World’s smallest this and world’s smallest that, we hear it all the time it seems doesn’t it? No matter the claim, I’ve got a very small Micro SDHC card review from our friends at USBFever. At this point in time all of our mobile devices use microSD cards, so something like this little gadget could very much come in handy I think.
Mobility Digest Review: Universal Cradle for iPhone / iPod with USB Hub
Look around, you’ll find Apple devices are extremely popular and with that comes accessories for them. Today for review I’ve got a little universal cradle from our friends at USBFever.

Mobility Digest Review: GTMax Black Rubberized Hard Cover Case for AT&T HTC Surround T8788
There’s no shortage of inexpensive accessories out there, and one great source for them is Amazon. You can get cases and accessories for your phone for a one dollar or even one penny, but at even that low price are they even worth it? I recently got the HTC Surround WP7 phone and I needed a case quickly and cheaply so I headed over to Amazon and found two, one of which I have for review today. It’s the GTMax brand, one that I never heard of, but I needed a case and $2 was an attractive price for it. I could have gotten a more expensive case yes, but I wanted to see if being cheap or frugal was worth it. So you could call this sort of an experiment as it were.

Mobility Digest Review: Pad & Quill Contega iPad 2 Case
Pad&Quill was kind enough to send Mobility Digest their latest iPad 2 case – the Contega for review. Based on the popular moleskine style, this case offers some additional features not found in their Octavo for iPad 2 case such as multiple standing positions and hidden pocket.
Pad&Quill uses high quality materials and classic bookbindery techniques to make their cases. The Contega continues this tradition of quality workmanship.
Mimicking the appearance of moleskine books the Contega can hide the iPad 2 in plain site or on one’s bookshelf. Besides protecting the iPad 2 or acting as a stand the Contega also functions as a sound amplifier.
Mobility Digest Review: AViiQ Smart Case for iPad 2
In honor of this past week’s release of the new Transformer’s movie we will be looking at an iPad 2 case that can be described as “more than meets the eye”. AViiQ’s Smart Case for iPad 2 is a shell style case with the ability to convert into a portfolio style one. It works by pairing up with Apple’s Smart Cover to create a stylish folio case/stand for the Apple tablet.
For the their Smart Case AViiQ chose to mimic Apple’s industrial design aesthetic to match the iPad 2 sense of style. By using colors that match the available Smart Cover hues AViiQ created a seamless case design with the Apple Smart Cover pairing.
The Smart Case is thin and light weight to help maintain the profile and heft of the iPad 2. Its aluminum finish makes the user feel that they are holding the actual Apple device and not a shell case.

Mobility Digest Review: eggshell for iPod touch 4G
Hello all! I’ve got another quick review for you of another case for the Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation. The case was provided by our friends over at USBFever and it’s called the eggshell. An odd name for sure, but it gets its name from the fact that it’s very thin and lightweight but durable like an eggshell. The case isn’t all you get though, you’ll find a screen protector and a headphone storage widget included in the box.
Mobility Digest Review: Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket
Happy Sunday guys and gals, I’ve got a quick review for you today of a little gadget that I think many of you might find useful. It doesn’t have an official name just ‘Car Charger with 4 USB Ports and 1 Cigarette Socket’ and that’s exactly what it is and what it does. There’s not much more to it than that really, but it will add four USB ports so you can charge four devices at one time, but there’s also the extra power port to charge even more.
