Review: EasyAcc Kindle Paperwhite Case Ultra Slim Cover

This is a fantastic kindle case!




I have reviewed a lot of cases for all kinds of different products for a couple of years now and I can say pretty confidently that this is one of the best fits for a device. It doesn't take away from the original beauty of the Kindle Paperwhite but still adds plenty of protection to the body and screen. This lends itself for long reading sessions and minimizes fatigue; you don't feel like it's there, and I kind of think that's the point.

The overall feel is fantastic and allows for a great grip to the device. The magnetic latch works exactly as expected and has a nice, satisfying clack when shut. The fit is perfect and none of the controls are obstructed.

The pattern is nice and unique and gives it a nice personal flair. At $15, this case is a steal, especially when compared to the Amazon case.

Highly recommended!

Review: 1byone Genuine Leather Wallet Stand Folio Case with Card Slot for iPhone 6 / 6s, Black

First impressions are really good with this case. The leather has a nice sheen and overall feel to it. It doesn't look cheap and the seems look quality. The spaces for the credit cards are nice and are just right. Corners are protected well and there's plenty of easy access to all ports. It feels good in the hand and the phone feels protected.

There were a few minor things that I would change however. When you have cards in the wallet portion and you close the folio, it rests very unevenly (see picture). Also, the magnetic latch is a little weak for my taste and does not give a good satisfying pul when closed.

Overall, if you're looking a for a good general purpose leather folio for your iPhone 6, this is a pretty good value.

News: Journey to Youtube Channel Setup

Hi everyone!

I am committing myself to creating more content and branching out a bit. This site from the beginning has largely been a tech accessories review page. I am now starting to branch into reviewing, making guides for, and discussing PCs. Computers have always been a passion of mine and I want to share that passion with the world. I am currently drafting up potential YouTube episodes, buying guides, reviews, build logs, and some troubleshooting.

Here are some ideas that I am toying with (starting with my new Skylake build since I don't have sponsors....yet)

• Motherboard Review: MSI Z170A Gaming Pro
• GPU Showdown: NVidia GTX 970 vs GTX 980 Ti
• Intel Core i7-6700K Overclock Results
• Review: Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Case
• Review: Corsair H115i Extreme Performance AIO Water Cooler
• Introduce My Build

These are all just early ideas I have come up with and would love suggestions on what you would like to see so I can focus my energy there.

I really want to grow the audience as I believe that part of learning and growing comes when everyone participates and shares their knowledge (thank you internet).

So, I will keep you all updated with upcoming content and looking forward to expanding Goto Tech Reviews!

Review: iPhone 6s, Prodigee Flow Blue for iPhone 6

My wife really loves this case and has a fantastic look and feel. She's pretty picky about the looks and she loves it and mentioned that it looked feminine without being over the top.

The case fits snug and looks to provide ample protection. The bottom plate is also snug, but just easy enough to remove if you want to dock it on your bedside. They really nailed it with that. We have not had any problems with the buttons and they are working great for us.

Overall, this is a fantastic case with great looks, good protection, all while being understated and complement the natural beauty of the iPhone 6. Highly Recommended!

Review: Trianium Artisan Series Aluminum Back Plate iPhone 6 Plus Case - Silver

This is a great looking case at the cost of some protection. The case fits on real easily but stays in place solid, but it still easy to remove if you desire. The first thing you'll notice is that one of the design choices was the partially expose the corners, it looks really cool, but I worry that it could still dent the corners if dropped just right. This could be a concern for some, but look at the attached pictures and you can decide for yourself.

 

I would like to note that the finish is pretty slippery so it's more likely it could slip out of your hands. So if you just need a case that looks really good and need minimal protection (mostly scratches) than this is a good case, but if you're worried about dropping it then I would look for something that offers a little more protection and bulk.

Review: Sport Armband, Trianium ArmTrek Armband

This is a good armband case. The Velcro is plenty strong and holds well during activity. I also liked how it was comfortable and did not get in the way while working out. I was able to fit the phone in the armband with a slim case on it. I will also not that my phone has a tempered glass screen protector and worked fine through the armband window. You only have access to the headphone port which honestly is all you really need for physical activity anyways. There are no side cutouts for the volume and power buttons and you would not be able to charge the phone while in the arm band since there is not charge port access. This may or may not be a problem for some.

Pros:
+ Comfortable.
+ Windows doesn't hamper use.
+ Secure during physical activity.
+ Easy headphone access.

Cons:
- No lightning port access.
- Power and volume buttons difficult to access.

REVIEW: MoKo Slim-Fit Case for iPad Mini

I was looking for a good case that wouldn’t add too much bulk to my retina iPad Mini while giving it the protection it needed. Let’s face it, regular day-to-day use will abuse a naked tablet/iPad, especially for those of us with kids (not that I let them use it anyways).

Form and Fit
I read another users review saying that it added a lot of thickness to their iPad Mini, but to be honest, I didn’t think it added unnecessary bulk at all. In fact, it felt about right for the protection this case offers. The feel of the faux leather is actually quite pleasant and doesn’t have the usual cheap feel that I have seen on other faux leather folio styles.

Clean overall look.

Protection
The number thing I look for in a tablet case is corner protection. Both my parents bought folio cases that either had soft/no corners protection for their iPads. They take care of their stuff, but were surprised to find damaged corners after removing their iPad from their cases several months down the road. This particular case covers the corners well and hold it firmly in place. The bottom and top edges are somewhat exposed and could, if dropped right, still manage to ding it up a bit. I don’t think that’s the typical scenario though since most instances I’ve see have involved the corners one way or another. It’s by no means bullet proof, but the case offers up reasonable protection while still maintaining for and fit.

Latch on the middle right. Corners well protected, but bottom and top still slightly exposed.

Positions
This particular folio case is uses a design where you pull the left corners out of place and then place the edge of the iPad in one of three notches, allowing for several viewing angles. Some people may not like this since you will fingerprint up the back side of the iPad in this process. There is actually a 4th viewing angle since you can go past all the notches and have the iPad rest in the hook, which coincidentally is the position I find myself in 95% of the time. Each notch is deep enough for the iPad to not slip between positions which is quite nice.

Sleep/Wake
I’ve read where people have had issues here with the magnet not lining up correctly and the wake/sleep function not working properly. That is not the case with mine and it works perfectly. There’s a bit of a latch/overhang on the cover portion that hooks over the iPad when you shut it. The inside part of that curved overhang has a silky fabric to aid with friction, though I found that after a week that fabric started fraying. I bet this is likely due to the chamfered edge. Though in fairness, it doesn’t change the feel of it so i just cut the frayed portion off.

Value
Like most people, I’m trying to find the best bang for the buck to get as much case for my dollar as possible while feeling confident that my iPad will be safe in day to day use. I have found the Moko Slim Fit case to do just that and would highly recommend it to anyone trying to find a good case that offers a clean look and offers good protection.

REVIEW: iPhone 5S / 5 Case Ultra Hybrid

Let me start off by saying I had never heard of SpiGen before I bought this case, and like you, was looking at the reviews to decide if this was the case for me.

I have been through many iPhone cases in my day and can never seem to be content with every point listed above. I have been searching for a long time for a case that would meet these requirements without compromises.

Form and Function
I'm going clump these to together here because they are usually mutually exclusive, but not the case here (no pun intended). I wanted to be able to show off the iPhone's original beauty while still being able to keep it reasonably protected. While it's not bullet-proof, the SpiGen has a clear and thick TPU on the back that shows off it's original beauty while keeping it away from the elements, scratches, and smudges. It covers the key components and performs wells. The outside band is a nice TPU that covers the power and volume buttons. I must admit, it feels nice and natural and keep those protected. SpiGen hit a home-run here with maintaining what I feel is the best balance between looks and durability. I can also add I have dropped it about three times and the case has done it's job perfectly.

Look and Feel
The thicker TPU feels great in the hand, not too grippy but not a bar of soap either. It maintains the original thin feel of the iPhone and adds minimal bulk. This way key for my search of the perfect iPhone case and SpiGen nailed it here.

Clear back to show iPhones natural beauty while still having excellent protection.

Function
I am able to access all buttons and functions of the hardware without a hitch, I must add though that my studio headphone have a larger audio plug mount and the TPU around the headphone jack is just a tad small for it. With that said, all my other earphones, including the Apple ones, have no problem.

Value
These cost a fraction of other cases you can buy in the store or online. Simply put, SpiGen offers up the best vlaue and bang for your buck.

Conclusion
Is it the most durable case out there? No. Is it the most colorful or is it going to turn lots of heads? Not really. But what is is, it's my perfect iPhone case that gives me the minimalist look without compromising the key durability functions while maintaining a thin profile. I have already recommended friends and family use this case as well and they have loved it too.

I will likely buy more SpiGen products in the future as their products have been stellar quality and will likely become a favorite in the future for other users such as myself.

Hope this review helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
