Pros: Adds a very nice BlueTooth sliding keyboard case for the iPhone 4. Has a backlit keyboard. Very easy to set up. Has a nice spring when you slide the keyboard out. Solid battery life.
Cons: Doubles the thickness of the your iPhone. The keys could be more prominent and distinct.
Overall: This is the best keyboard case on the market. All keyboard cases are going to make your iPhone around two times thicker, so why not go with the one with the best keyboard, and tactile feedback?

Pros: 5.1 Channel Surround Sound, New Wide Angle lens, includes lens hood, external mic input and headphone jack, works with SD cards but also has 96GB of built in storage
Cons: Very sensitive microphone
Overall: This is currently my favorite HD camcorder. I’d even consider trading in my Canon Vixia for this camera. Sony has done a great job putting a high quality camera for consumers into such a small form factor with reasonable price tag. The CX700V would definitely be a great buy for anyone looking for a consumer camcorder with high end features. This product definitely deserves our Editors’ Choice Award.
You can purchase this camera from 42nd Street Photo on their site for the current price of $999.

Pros: Reduces glare, affordable, easy to install.
Cons: Personally strains my eyes, does not cover entire screen just viewable area.
Overall: While the ClearCal Macbook Pro screen shield from Radtech does everything it’s supposed to do. Protect the screen and reduce glare, the majority of these shields strain my eyes so they just aren’t for me. If you don’t mind the diminished clarity it should work just fine for you.

Pros: Additional pockets
Cons: Could use a little more padding
Overall: The Trexta Mickey iPad Messenger bag is a great solution for carrying around your iPad without having to haul around a large laptop bag. Although the version I reviewed was more feminine in color, they do offer other color combinations.

Pros: Very durable and it looks sharp next to your other mac aluminum products
Cons: High price tag
Overall: The Alugraphics Flexpad is the perfect addition to your Mac line-up of products. Its simple, elegant and functional. I wish it was priced a little lower, but I think you could justify the price by realizing that you’ll never need to replace that dingy fabric mouse pad ever again.
You can purchase this product from Alugraphics.de for around $50 USD.

Pros: Handy all in one Laptop clear with screen brush, keyboard brush and optical grade chamois for screen cleaning.
Cons: Expensive, refill pads are a bit pricey.
Overall: The Laptop Pro is a nifty all in one laptop cleaning system that is easily stored in you briefcase, purse or backpack. The Laptop Pro does the job that it was intended to do but it seems a bit pricey at $24.95. I guess it will depend on if you are OCD about your stuff and value keeping it all nice and shiny.

Pros: Keeps fingerprints off screen, reduces glare, affordable compared to other Macbook Pro screen shields.
Cons: Tricky to install as it is a very large piece of material, personally leads to a bit of eye strain as it is not a crystal clear.
Overall: The SGP Steinheil AG for Macbook Pro is a solid offering from a company whose products I have absolutely loved in the past. In this instance I had high hopes for the SGP Steinheil Antiglare for my Macbook Pro as I have had some problems with glare and fingerprints. The Steinheil AG does take care of glare and fingerprints that is for sure. Where the AG falls short is in the long term usage. Because the AG is not a crystal clear it led to some eyestrain for me as there is a bit of a grainy look to the screen. I was a bit surprised as I have always loved the AG on my iPad and iPhone in the past, but I think that you typically look at a laptop screen for a longer period of time which led to my eye strain.
The SGP Steinheil AG for Macbook Pro is available directly from SGP for $36.99 with the Crystal Clear coming in at $33.99. Click here to be directed to their website.
