Review: iPad SmirkAbout Skin

The SmirkAbout iPad skin “The winner takes all” design is in one word an “Ace”! It’s sleek graphics make it easy on the eyes, a great conversational piece, and of course a cool way to spice up and customize your iPad.

Installation was a breeze, especially since the back side of the device has no special cut outs to work around. SmirkAbout also provided an optional front side skin which would cover the black bezel area of the iPad.

With all the designs to choose from, the customizations it’ll bring, and the light protection skins provide, why not give your device something to SmirkAbout!

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: Great design and graphics quality
Cons: Would like to have seen it come with side pieces to protect the entire iPad for the price
Overall: A simple and fun way to customize your device without breaking the bank. There’s tons of designs to choose from and its easy to install!

SmirkAbout Skins can be purchased at from smirkabout.com for $29.95

Otterbox Announces iPhone 4 cases

The Otterbox Defender Series case is now available for the iPhone 4. The original multi-layer case provides the most rugged protection available for the iPhone 4. First, a polycarbonate shell made of hi-impact, shatter-resistant material is installed. Built into the shell is a clear Multi-Touch display screen cover as well as a clear cover for the Apple logo cutout on the backside. Finally, a silicone skin wraps around and locks into the shell resulting in a unified, nearly indestructible solution. Also included is a holster-style swivel belt clip.

The black OtterBox Defender Series case for the Apple iPhone 4 has been officially NAC tested to address the loss in signal strength. Test results indicate this case solves the antenna issue by acting as a dielectric between the two antennas of the device. No loss of signal strength occurs when using the iPhone 4 in a Defender Series case.

Coming soon, the OtterBox Commuter Series case features two layers of device security for a completely new level of innovation. A silicone mid-layer and a polycarbonate shell combine to provide protection from bump and shock, while the self-adhering screen protector defends from scratching. Similar to the Impact Series, the Commuter Series will offer coverage for the iPhone 4 power button, volume rocker and home button. Additionally, this line provides silicone plugs for the charging port and headphone jack that flip open for access. Customers can sign up online to receive notification about case availability.

Video Review: EOS Converge Wireless Audio System

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: You can stream audio all throughout your house from your iTunes library or even music sites like Pandora.
Cons: The speakers emit a slight hum or buzzing sound when there is no audio coming through.
Overall: This is an excellent solution for those of you that may be looking for a way to stream audio from your computer to different areas of your house. A built in audio system would cost thousands of dollars, but with the EOS Converge system you can easily install and set it up and have an awesome audio experience for a few hundred dollars. The overall audio quality of the music was very good. We’re awarding this product our Editors’ Choice Award.

If you’re interested in purchasing any of the EOS Converge components, you can find them at EOSwireless.com

Video Review: BodyGuardz for iPhone 4

Rating: 9 out of 10; 10 out of 10 with an Apple Bumper case
Pros: Complete kit with two body shields included
Cons: Sometimes these are hard to install if your not good at following directions
Overall: Best complete body protection kit on the market with two complete sets including all the sides and enough solution for both sets. Install was easy and painless. If your looking for a full body kit for the iPhone 4 this may be the best one out there and for the price you get two complete sets.

BodyGuardz can be purchased at the BodyGuardz.com for $ 24.95

Video Review: Switcheasy Nude for the iPhone 4

Rating: 4 out of 10
Pros: From a pricing standpoint the Nude represents good value at $19.99 in which you get the case, 2 screen shields, 2 headphone jack plugs as well as 2 docking port plugs
Cons: Quality control; Both of the cases I purchased had scratches right out of the packaging. The bottom two corners of the case are VERY rough to the touch. The fit on the iPhone 4 is not secure like the 3G(S) version was. I have no confidence in the NUDE protecting my iPhone 4 in an accidental drop.
Overall: I am extremely dissapointed in the NUDE for the iPhone 4 as I was a very big fan of the 3G(S) version of this case. I would recommend spending your $20.00 elsewhere.

You can purchase the NUDE for the iPhone 4 at Switcheasy.com for $19.99

Video Review: Griffin Reveal Case for iPhone 4

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros: No “watermark” effect with your iPhone in the case. The rubber lining is a lot more flexible and pliable to make installation and removal a breeze
Cons: The clear polycarbonate back tends to scratch up fairly easily.
Overall: I definitely recommend the Griffin Reveal for the iPhone 4. I was a big fan of the Reveal case for the 3GS and I am very happy with their version for the iPhone 4. Kudos to Griffin for a job well done.

You can purchase the Reveal case on their website for $24.99

Video Review: Case-Mate ID Case for iPhone 4

Rating: 9 out of 10
Pros: Great side and back coverage, Holds 2 cards on the back, doesn’t pick up fingerprints
Cons: Could cause trouble if your phone gets stolen
Overall: I think this case is as cool now for the i4 as it was for the 3G & 3GS. Great idea holding your ID and Credit Card to minimize what you need to carry on your person. The price is a little higher than I like, but at $34.99 its affordable and as always comes with extra goodies. Pick yours up today by clicking here and going directly to the Case-Mate website.
