Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Does not add much bulk at all to your MacBook, in fact, you hardly notice it’s on.  Nice matte finish and feel, Apple logo illuminates very nicely through the case. Protects your laptop nicely while keeping it very stylish.
Cons: Comes in only 5 colors none of them being a clear or translucent.
Overall: A great product from a very reputable company.  This case does not add much bulk to your laptop at all.  Comes in 4 different colors: black, purple, cranberry, pink and yellow.  These cases also come in a non satin variety.

You can purchase the Speck SeeThru Satin directly from their website for $49.95.

Review: Incipio Bond Street Holster

The Incipio Bond Street holster, which runs for $24.99, is a holster for both the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G. This stylish holster is made out of premium leather on the outside and micro suede lining on the inside of the case. It has a magnetic enclosure, and this holster works wonderfully!

Rating: 9 out of 10

Pros: The magnetic flap, high quality leather, and sleek design make this holster as executive as I’ve seen.

Cons: The vertical belt clip is almost too sturdy making it difficult to attach.

Overall: This holster does a great job protecting and allowing easy access for both the iPhone and iPhone 3G. At $24.99 this product is not overly expensive and fits both phones nicely. If you are in the market for a holster the incipio bond street does a great job and is definitely worth the purchase.

You can purchase this product directly through Incipio for $24.99.

Review: dexim Dual Dock

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR9h3W2CJLg[/youtube]

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Original design with the ability to turn off the blue LED which acts as a handy night light in the dark, can dock virtually any igadget, with some experimentation you can use it with a case on your iPhone. Charges two items at one.
Cons: It’s a bit lightweight so it takes two hands to remove your gadget from the dock without lifting the whole kaboodle off the desk.
Overall: A good product that does what it advertises; charges two iGadgets at the same time.  With an original design , glossy black finish and a very unique blue LED around the base, this dock is sure to be a conversation piece.

The dexim Dual Dock can be purchased from RichardSolo.com for $44.95 and if you use our promo code “buymeaniphone” you can receive 10% off all iPod and iPhone accessories.

App Review: World Cup Ping Pong by Skyworks

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7ndtcejLXg[/youtube]

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Very realistic game play, your choice of paddles: primarily power, primarily spin or somewhere in between.  Tournament play, arcade play or 2 player mode against a friend, or practice mode.
Cons: After you win tournament mode you are competing against your own point totals so for some people, replay value may be limited.
Overall: Another winner from Skyworks. Props to them for being able to pull off a quality ping pong game that is enjoyable and realistic.  As usual Skyworks does not disappoint on the graphics, fun sound, and overall arcade feel of the application.

Skyworks offers a Lite version of World Cup Ping Pong but for a limited time the full version is on sale for 99 cents normally $1.99 and frankly is a bargain at that price so jump on the sale price while you can.  Pick up World Cup Ping Pong by Skyworks by clicking here.

Video Review: RichardSolo Custom Case

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Thin, and lightweight. Works in conjunction with the RichardSolo 1800 series backup battery.
Cons: When you’re not using it with the battery, the bottom opening leaves a chunk of your iPhone unprotected.
Overall: Over all this is a simple slider case that will protect your iPhone from scratches and low drops. If you like slide style cases and you own the RichardSolo backup battery, then this case is a must have. If you purchase the 1800 series backup battery, RichardSolo will even through in this case for free.

This product can be purchased directly through RichardSolo’s website for $24.95.

App Review: Board@Work

Board@Work is a $.99 game available in the app store for both the iPod touch and iPhone. Put simply, the object of this game is to match three or more blocks with the same color or shape. The key to this game is efficiency and the player is more highly rewarded when the blocks are part of a bigger product as apposed to three isolated blocks.

Rating: 8/10

Pros: Three single and three multi-player modes, MMO multi-player options, and addicting  game play. (You’ll be seeing blocks for hours)

Cons: Initially, a little hard to pick up and frustrating at times.

Overall: For 99 cents you cannot go wrong with this app unless you are worried about “lost productivity”. But seriously, this game is great to have on your device. When your bored with work or school whipping this out for five or ten minutes is perfect. And when you do have a larger amount of time you can easily get sucked into the challenge. With Board@Work, you will never be board again.
