Tablets are great but they don’t come with cases or anything really, at least most of them. When you get a tablet you need things, especially a case and GearZap has sent me over their Universal 4 in 1 starter kit for 10” tablets that includes a case, stylus, cleaning spray and microfiber cleaning cloth. The kit is priced at around $25 which is what you could pay for just a case for you tablet, so read on for a quick review…

Apple iPad Now Staring Android Tablets Tail Lights
Even though Apple is still the single largest seller of tablets and the usage of the iPad on the internet has substantially increased there is no denying the shear volumes of Android tablets being sold. Unlike Apple that has early versions of the iPad 2 for sale at a lower cost, it still pales to … Read more
Review of Fabrix Pop Toons 10.1" Case for Tablets
I just turned 42 years old the other day and, even though I’m rather old, I still like toys and gadgets and things that might be considered ‘childish’. I don’t see anything wrong with that, some might but I really don’t care what those people think. I’ve always liked cartoons and anime, I still enjoy it today, anime anyway and today I have for review something that very much reminded me of my childhood, it’s a case for 10.1” tablets. You might wonder what a cartoons has to do with a case, well this case is the Fabrix Pop Toons case which features a cartoon character design all over it, the front and back are covered with all of our favorite anime and cartoon characters from past and present. The case looks great, but it’s also well padded to protect your tablet, so it’s not only stylish but protective.
OtterBox Sale Buy 1 Tablet Case Get 25% Off your Next Item
I just got done reviewing the OtterBox Defender Case for the iPad Air and it is an excellent case. The problem is that they are pretty expensive. AT $89.99 plus tax you are looking at $100 bucks to protect your investment. To me it’s worth it, but it’s still $100 bucks right? So I like … Read more
Microsoft is Just Better
Reading through some XBox One reviews earlier today, and I am convinced that these sites/reviewers either, a) don’t have a clue, or b.) have Apple stuck so far up their butts they can’t clearly rationalize (see a.). What they and many others don’t understand is that Microsoft has no interest in keeping between the lines. … Read more
Apple’s iPad Event is Oct. 22nd. Why Are You Excited?
The title says it all. With Apple officially sending out invites to their iPad event we now know the date for the full unveiling. Apple has shown us iOS7 and we know how Apple implements the finger print scanner. Will the iPad event showcase something we aren’t expecting? If anything my money is on them … Read more
MobilityLeaks: Kick Stands
David K: Just occurred to me that the kickstands in all of these tablets are backwards. They shouldn’t come from the top on the device…they should be at the bottom. Like if the bottom 1/5 was a flap that lied flat to support the tablet being upright. Then it is easy to adjust the angle … Read more
Acer Iconia W8–The Sweet Spot for Windows Tablets
I have owned the Surface RT since launch, but admittedly have not used it as much as I would like. There are a few things that have been holding me back; – Key apps in the Windows Store have not materialized, like Weave and Tapatalk, to make this my primary device for daily consumption and … Read more
Microsoft Is Not Championing A Race To Bottom
Microsoft announces something positive and The Verge’s Tom Warren finds a way to muck it up. Typical but its his opinion and he’s entitled to it. So basically the market will get flooded with crappy tablets because the OEMs don’t have to pay as much for their Windows licenses? Thats one way to look at … Read more
Mini Review: Targus Slim Stylus
Having used Palm Pilots and Pocket PCs for nearly a decade, you can call me a styli junkie. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t miss them. But when I see one I become a bit curious. I tried a capacitive stylus a couple years ago and found it to be very unresponsive. Figured it was time to give it another shot.
The Targus Slim Stylus is a tiny thing, measuring 4.375” long and about 0.25” across, not including the handy pocket clip (to store in your geeky pocket protector). Being a capacitive stylus, the target area is not as precise as a resistive stylus or one of those Wacom digitizer thingies. As a result, its use is somewhat limited, but I knew that before laying down my cash.
