Put a SnowLizard in Your Pocket

By admin

During my time out in the field on archeological expeditions, I’ve caught and eaten a lizard or two. But I must admit, I’ve never had one in my pocket, and I’ve never heard of a Snow Lizard before, which sounds like a paradox for a warm-blooded creature.

The SLXTREME ($129.99) happens to be an extremely rugged and unique case for iPhone 4/4s/5, and it’s perfectly safe to put in your pocket. Your phone will be secure too, as you can drop it without damage from a height of 2 meters, and you can take it underwater to a depth of 2 meters as well.

Keep Your iPhone Sleek with this Pure Aluminum Case

By admin

I must confess, I haven't been that impressed with the design of the iPhone 5 body. It’s basically a rectangle with rounded corners. Then you put a bumper or a case on it, and it doesn’t get any better—just bulkier, but at least you’ve got some protection.

Now, along comes a new product by designed by m, and you have a pretty stylish, very sleek bumper case made of Aerospace Aluminum that hardly adds any bulk to the iPhone's waistline. It’s minimalist and adds a little class to your iPhone.

Griffin Touch Controlled Monster Truck

By admin

I have to ask myself what is it about remote-controlled vehicles that make them so much fun. I guess I’m just a big kid, because I love 'em. I suppose it gives me a sense of power to be able to control things remotely and make them do as I command.

I now have Griffin's MOTO TC Monster Truck ($59.99) to play with. All you need to control it is an iPhone or iPod that fits into the dock that comes with it. You will also need four AA batteries.

But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here. First, you'll need to download the free app that puts the control panel on your handheld screen. Next, you'll need to connect to Bluetooth. Now, you can navigate two ways. You can use the program controls or the screen like a joystick by swiping your finger across it.

Now, you can monitor your own blood pressure and heart rate on your iOS devices. After you purchase Withings' Blood Pressure Monitor ($129.99) and install the free app, just plug it in, and you’re ready to go. Your device will automatically display and record the data for later access and history. You can even email your information to your doctor or health care provider.

Once connected with arm band in place (which is easy to do), you will get an instant readout of systolic, diastolic pressure, and heart rate. You also will get an assessment evaluating optimal pressure, elevated pressure, and hypertension.

This Accessory Organizes Your Charging Cables

By admin

Until you acquire a cordless charger, you will have to contend with cables of various sorts to feed your digital devices. This can be a real problem on the road. Here’s some help. The Aviiq Portable Charging Station ($59.99) is a nylon-zippered case that's 11 inches by 4 inches by 2 inches that has everything you need to keep charged and organized.

It has an AC power supply that plugs into the wall with a cable that plugs into a four-port USB hub. You can plug your device cables into the hub for charging. The prongs fold out of the device and fold back in and out of sight. The hub also has a male USB plug that tucks into the back out of the way when not in use. You can plug this into your computer or laptop as a power source too.

The power supply fits securely into the case under a band for storage. Next to it, the hub slips into a pocket for storage too. Normally you would remove both units when in use. There are four pockets on the same side of the case meant for storing cables. On the other side of the case is a large net pocket secured by Velcro at the top.

Want to Watch Over Baby From Your iPhone? You Can with Smart Baby Monitor

By admin

I haven’t had much experience with baby monitors, but the Withings Smart Baby Monitor ($249.95) rules. It folds into a compact, portable package and hooks up to an iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Android device so you can view remotely from anywhere with WiFi, Bluetooth, or Ethernet cable connectivity.

In my limited experience, a baby monitor allows you to hear what's going on in baby's room so you can give the child immediate attention when needed. But this baby does way more.

It has a high resolution video camera with a wide angle lens, night vision, and 4x zoom. Virtual PTZ technology allows you to pan, tilt, and zoom around the nursery. It has temperature and humidity sensors and high quality audio sensors. The multicolor night light lets you change the mood of the room. It also has a microphone so you can sing, play lullabies, or talk to the baby. It has four different alert modes.
