App Review: Boardwalk Games

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros:: Feels like you are at the Boardwalk or Carnival.  Brings back memories when you tried to win a big stuffed animal for your girlfriend. Great graphics and music, casual fun.
Cons: I wish there were more games like shoot out the star or those balloon water games.  Gets dull after an extended time of playing the game.
Overall: Boardwalk Games by Skyworks is another entertaining game from the popular developer that brings you back to a more innocent time.  This game is a great start but I think it could go a bit further with more games and make the game more of an experience rather than a casual game.

You can purchase Boardwalk games by Skyworks for $1.99 from the app store.  Click here to be brought to the app store page.

Video Review: Sena Sarach Case

Rating:9 out of 10
Pros:: Excellent craftsmanship, high quality leather.
Cons: No optional belt clip
Overall: This is probably one of my top 3 favorite cases. Sena always does a good job on all of their cases and their leather work is top notch. Even though it’s a $70, I’d still recommend it, only because this is a case that will last you a long time and will not fall apart any time soon.

You can purchase this case directly from SenaCases.com for $69.99.

Video Review: Cygnett Jellybean case

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros:: Very good drop protection, available in different colors, feels good in hand, it’s actually economical, comes with screen protector.
Cons: Hard to remove from phone.
Overall: The Jellybean Case by Cygnett is a very nice economical hard shell case.  It is available from many online retailers.  I found it on Frys.com for a surprising $12.99.  This case has no flash and they paid particular attention to the cutouts and the tapered lip near the home button. As mentioned Cygnett products are available from many online retailers so click here and check out their website for more products and where you can pick one up.

Video Review: PowerMat Home & Office

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros:Great concept, wireless charging is very fast, looks Nice.
Cons: Each Power receiver is sold for each additional item
Overall: A very nice wireless charger that allows you to charge up to three devices with only one plug. This product works great and I even found it to charge my devices faster then the regular wall charger. This wireless charging solution would be perfect if it came with three universal receivers.

PowerMat Home and Office can be purchased at the Powermat for $ 99.

Video Review: MailTones App

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Lots of sounds to choose from
Cons: You have to forward your incoming mail to an anonymous email account which makes me feel a little uncomfortable
Overall: This is a really cool app that I enjoy using. I had to have my iPhone Jailbroken and hacked in order to change out the sounds for email alerts but MailTones does this seamlessly. I think most people will be scared away by the fact that you have to forward your emails to another email address though.

You can purchase this app from the iTunes App Store for $2.99.

Review: Logitech ClearChat PC Wireless Headset

Rating: 7 out of 10
Pros: Wireless, Great sounding audio, comfortable, easy to adjust volume and mute yourself
Cons: Microphone quality is lacking, approx. 4 hour battery life, proprietary charging plug
Overall: I was really impressed with the overall audio quality when using this as a regular pair of headphones. I wish the EQ would be better right out of the box, but when using the Electronic EQ in iTunes the ClearChat sounds fantastic. The microphone sounds distant and all around murky. For $100 I would not recommend these, if you can find them on sale I would recommend these simply for the listening quality.
