Pros: Good color options to choose from, extremely stylish, well built and designed
Cons: Little drop protection, expensive 
Overall: The SGP Neo Hybrid takes a unique approach on hybrid cases, comprised of a high-quality silicone layer which is wrapped by a polycarbonate ‘bumper’. Fit and finish on this product is terrific, cutouts are spot on and once installed, the case feels solid like a brick. Unfortunately, the thin profile means you won’t get much protection from this one.

You can pick this case up on the SGP website

Pros: Great colors, record album feel on the back is great for grip, both are minimalist tic, on off button, sync and charge, affordable.
Cons: The plastic top could have been designed better.
Overall: The Mipow Maca series is a solid battery case and served me quite well at both CES and Macworld.  With either the Air at 1200 mAh or the 2200 mAh priced at a reasonable $79 you really can’t go wrong.

Head on over to the Mipow website to check out all their products and pick up a Maca.

Pros: Brings together a classic game on to iOS devices and allows others to compete from all around the world.
Cons: The wait time to play with others is a bit long.
Overall: Last week I did a review on Charades that brought together the classic game straight to the phone. That version of Charades was limited to one person only. I found this creative but did not like the price of the application ($1.99). I continued my search and I found another game named Charades. This one does exactly the opposite of last week.

This weeks application review of Charades focuses on playing Charades through iOS devices. Charades does have a busy menu screen when you enter the application. Once you go through it you learn the gist of everything and its location. Charades allows for a great amount of customization. It goes as far as having an iPod player built right into the application. The application does offer a training option to allow users to practice and learn the ins and outs of the application and what objectives you may face. I find myself personally using the training a lot. I find that my fingers are big and makes it hard for me to draw on the iPhone in general, so the practice area is much appreciated. You could almost play training the entire time, as it will give you many different items to draw helping you improve your skills. The game crashed 2 times on me during the initial setup phase but after that it was smooth sailing and a pretty positive experience. The only other negative I had was that connecting through Game Center took forever. I  waited 5+ minutes to connect to a person who left shortly after we started. I think as more users see this game and  hopefully start playing this issue will naturally be resolved. I know personally I would love to challenge somebody in Charades through my iOS device. There are ads inside this application that pop up in the middle of the screen when doing certain actions such as entering the multi-player area.

There is a free version and a paid version of Charades. The paid version removes the ads, removes the wait time for you to enter game center, and also unlocks a few additional functions

Pros: Extremely compact, easy to carry and puts out great audio quality.
Cons: When playing music with very high base or at the highest volume the device moves along the surface since it is not very heavy in weight.

Pros: offers great protection, stylish, unique hybrid design
Cons: no cutout for noise cancellation microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack is small and recessed, thick/bulky
Overall: The Case-Mate Pop is a revamp of the original case that has been made to fit Galaxy Nexus specifications. A hybrid style case, it offers good protection through the silicone layer and snug fit. It is however a thick case due to the materials used, some of the cutouts are missing or not aligned well, but the case is good nonetheless.

You can purchase this product from MobileFun or Case-Mate.
