Totes Mens SmarTouch Gloves Review

by

I guess it all depends where you are in the world or country right now, but I know here in Pittsburgh it’s been cold, very cold, down way below zero some days and you need gloves and everything else to keep you warm. We live in a connected society where we always use our smartphones even outside in the cold and regular gloves just don’t work with a touchscreen as I’m sure you know. I’ve got several pairs of specialized gloves for touchscreens, they feature special threads in the tips of the fingers to make them capacitive and work with touchscreens. I like all of them but they all have one problem, they’re not very warm, sure they work but they’re just too thin to be warm on very cold days, but I found a pair that is nice and thick from GearZap. Today for review I have the men’s SmarTouch gloves from Totes or Isotoner and they’re inexpensive but best of all and most importantly I think is that they’re warm. So Read on…

Review of Id America New Metropolitan Aluminum In-ear Headphones

by

I don’t remember the last time I reviewed headphones here on Mobility Digest, looking back it’s been since April, so a few months anyway, just seems like longer.  Id America sent over the Metropolitan Aluminum In-Ear headphones for my review, and these are the ‘new’ ones as they are improved over the original Metropolitan as these have better drivers in them. I didn’t have the chance to review the original ones, but I have these and from my time with them I can tell you they’re a very decent set of headphones, especially if you consider the price at around $30. Some people my scoff at such a low price and think that since they’re ‘cheap’ they aren’t any good, well you’d be wrong in that thinking, these are actually fairly decent, yes not perfect, but well worth the price for sure.

D8 iWallet 2000mAh External Battery Review

by

Power, power and power and I hate writing intros to reviews, especially when I’ve reviewed a lot of the same product over and over again. Yes they are all different, they’re all by different companies and have different specifications, but yet the base product is still the same and it does the same thing. Really how many ways can you say the same thing? So today for review I’ve got a battery, specifically a 2000mAH external battery called the iWallet from a rather new company called D8.  The iWallet is very small and portable and it comes with three different tips for charging various devices, but bet of all it has a regular USB port for charging so you don’t even need any tips. So read on…

HTC makes phones as I’m sure you know but they also make some accessories for those phones.

The case offers access to all the ports and it even has a built-in stand so you can enjoy your multimedia on the go. So read on…

Krusell Kiruna FlipCover Leather Case for HTC One Reviewed

by

The HTC One was recently released on Verizon so I thought why not check out another case for it?! Sounds good to me anyway…

It’s been along time since I’ve owned a case by Krusell and I have to say it was one of the nicest cases I owned for phone. If you like leather and quality products then Krusell is where you go. Up for review today I have the Krusell Kiruna FlipCover Leather Case for HTC One. It’s a leather case, and it’s called the Kiruna and it’s a flip style case. Now that we’ve got the obvious out of the way, the case is made of a nice soft and supple leather with a soft felt lining to protect the phone and look good while doing it.  So read on…

ECBC Hercules 17” Laptop Backpack Review

by

Back to school next week for my kids, I think of lot of kids are back in school or are heading off shortly and the backpack is, I think, like a symbol of school. Most every kid or adult going to school has a backpack and having kids I know all backpacks are not created equal. My kids are getting older, but I still have a rather young one at eight years old and I found those ‘character’ style packs aren’t exactly the best quality. As we get older we learn to appreciate quality made products and I think going off to college you need something that will last though the year or even years to come. College isn’t like grade school, I know my kids seem to need or want a new bag every year, but college is different, you’re older and grown up so you don’t need a new bag every year anymore, you want one that will last through college and past hopefully. You need a bag like what I have for review today from ECBC, it’s called the Hercules and it’s aptly named as it can hold up to a 17” laptop but it’s got a whole lot of room for everything else you’ll need to take with you and it’s very well made. Quality comes at price though, this backpack will set you back about $140, but I think it’s money well spent as it will surely last for several years I would think… So read on to learn more about the Hercules…

I think everybody, no matter how old, uses a backpack for school so today for review I’ve got the Rivacase 8160 which is a black colored laptop backpack that fits up to 16” sized laptops.

It’s not a huge bag by any means, but it’s large enough for books, laptops and most anything else you might need to take with you to classes. So just read on to see more about this backpack..
