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: EasyAcc 2nd Gen Colorful 10000mAh Power Bank


I have used many portable chargers and this particular one from EasyAcc stands out as the best balance of capacity and portability. The charger itself is roughly the exact size of my iPhone 6 Plus and I found it extremely easy to tote around. There's easily enough for two full charges (from 0-100%) for the iPhone 6+ and then enough for about a half charge. For the iPhone 6 you should be able to eek out 4 full charges. On my iPad Air 2 I was able o charge it from 50% to 100% (screen off) pretty easily, I just did it overnight. You have to keep in mind that the phone is still drawing power while you are charging which is why you can't just simply divide out exactly. It's like filling smaller buckets with small leaks if that makes sense.

I like the colors and thin design. It's very attractive and easy to carry on the go. It may not be able to keep all your devices going over a weekend trip, but for a single day use this by far has the best balance of energy and portability. Highly recommended.

Review: EasyAcc USB 3.0 Card Reader

In today's world, all of our data has to be stored somewhere, and if you are into photography like myself, you probably have a mix of cards lying around. It's becoming more critical to transfer that data quickly from one medium to another.
The card reader itself has a nice finish and is very solid, though it is a tad bigger than others, but this is just a minor issue. It comes with a USB 3.0 cable which will work on any computer, Mac or PC, with a USB port (USB 3.0 is backward compatible) and does not require any drivers. It supports these card formats (which will suit 99.9% of people needs): MS, TF, M2, SD, XD, and CF. Though, another minor quibble would be a Micro-SD slot as well. To be fair, most micro-SD cards come with an SD adapter, I just don't always have mine with me.

My test set up was to take a lot of pictures on my Canon 6D in RAW mode with a 64GB Lexar SDXC 90MB/s, where most images are about 25MB apiece. In the end, I had 3.04GB of data spread across 124 files. The test was to check the time it would take to transfer all 124 files from the camera's USB port and then from the EasyAcc USB 3.0 card reader. I chose this setup, because for me, this is the most common use case. Here are the results:

From Camera: 4 minutes 25 seconds
From Card Reader: 0 minutes 50 seconds

I think one of the telling factors here is I believe the Canon 6D is only USB 2.0 compliant which would explain the speed difference. In retrospect, I'm starting to wonder how I ever got by transferring my images over the camera USB and not a card reader such as this, especially since I have had USB 3.0 for a while.

Overall, this is a great little unit and will be an integral part of my photography workflow, especially during weddings when I need to transfer pictures quickly. Recommended.

Review: PB6400CS Portable Charger

Portable chargers have become a staple for me lately. If you are even remotely a gear junkie like myself, then one of these bad boys is a must have. If you're traveling often, it's silly to go without one since you don't have to scurry around the airport to find a wall outlet or be "that guy" at the conference who's hogging the wall outlet.

The EasyAcc portable charger is a no-fuss, simple charger with great features. The 6,400mAh capacity is plenty to give my iPhone 6+ two full charges (we'l get to the numbers later). The iPhone 6+ is already has excellent battery life, but this makes it all the better. It feels well constructed and has a nice, smooth finish, giving it a nice, solid feel in the hands. The footprint is very small and easy to carry. The one thing I particularly like about this model is that it has a single 2.1A x 5V USB output which is best for rapid charging with a 2A x 5V input USB-micro input for charging the charger. There's also an LED for flashlight mode, which can be redundant if you have a smartphone, but it doesn't hurt anything to have it there. There are 4 blue LED lights around a single on/off button which give the status:

4: 75-100% Capacity Remaining
3: 50-75% Capacity Remaining
2: 25-50% Capacity Remaining
1: 5-25% Capacity Remaining
Blink: 0-5% Capacity Remaining

For real-world usage data, I used my trusty iPhone 6+ on iOS 8 with Wi-Fi on and Bluetooth on. I took several calls, checked e-mail, browsed the web and played a game or two during each charge (since you'd likely be using it if you're charging, at least I do.)

Charge iPhone from 36% to 100% took 1:21 hours to charge. Charger went from 4 lights to 2.
Charge iPhone from 29% to 100% took 1:44 hours to charge. Charger went from 2 lights to blinking.

If you weren't using the phone during charging, you could theoretically get two full charges on the iPhone 6+, but I was pretty happy with these numbers.

Overall, you can't go wrong with this charger. It's the best balance of price vs. features and does and excellent job on delivering. I highly recommend it if you are looking for an excellent charger.

Video Review: EasyAcc PB18000

Hey all, checkout our video review of the EasyAcc PB18000 Power Bank. Stay tuned for future video reviews!

Review: EasyAcc Power Bank 18,000mAh

EasyAcc® 18000mAh Dual USB on Amazon

Today we'll be reviewing the EasyAcc Power Bank 18,000mAh. This is a large power bank that is meant to keep your electronics good and charged while on the go. This is a heavy duty charger targeted at those with a lot of gear (I feel I fit that category rather well) or those who travel a lot. Let's jump on in and see how it does.

Look and Feel
It comes in a rather plain cardboard box, but don't let that fool you. Once open, you'll find the charger, two USB to micro-USB cables, and instructions. The charger has a nice black finish with a chrome plastic outer ring. It's contoured in a way that makes it very pleasant to hold. It has a good heft to it and has a quality feel to it. EasyAcc managed to make it affordable without feeling cheap. A simple carrying pouch would have helped since it is so nice and don't want it to get all scuffed up.


Features
The charger has 18,000mAh capacity with two USB output charging ports, 2.1A and 1.0A at 5V. There is also a power button (which also can be double-clicked to toggle the flashlight), flashlight LED, and 4 blue status LEDs, and a micro-USB input for charging the power bank.

LED Status Guide:
  • 4 Lights - 75-100% Capacity
  • 3 Lights - 50-75% Capacity
  • 2 Lights - 25-50% Capacity
  • 1 Light - 5-25% Capacity
  • 1 Blink Light - 0-5% Capacity

The 2.1A USB port is geared more toward devices like tables with larger batteries while the 1.0A USB port is geared towards phones. The 1.0A port has a special feature which allows Samsung Galaxy Tabs to be boosted to 1.3A-2.0A. I was unable to test this specifically as I do not have any Samsung Tablets. You can certainly plug phones into the 2.1A ports if their tolerances allow it and you can also plug a tablet into the 1.0A port if it can supply enough juice. For most (not all) instances, both ports are mostly universal.

Real World Use
The max input power is 5V at 2.0A which is rated to charge from empty to max capacity in 9 hours. In our testing we found this to be accurate and will completely charge overnight. We tested a couple of devices, an iPhone 6 Plus and Nexus 7 2013 Edition (still under test at the time of this writing) and kept a log of the results using the 2.1A port.

Still testing…





Just a few notes. The tablet charging is still under test and those numbers will be updated as results come in. The iPhone 6 Plus has a batter size of 2,915mAh and the Nexus 7 2013 Edition has a 3,950mAh battery. The phone and tablet were still being used with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled while charging with some intervals of heavier use than others.

We found the EacyAcc PB18000 to be extremely robust, easy to use, good quality, and extremely useful. The iPhone 6 Plus has a huge batter and to be able to still get nearly 4 solid charges from the charger is really nice. Theoretically, with the iPhone battery capacity of 1,570mAh being nearly half of the iPhone 6 Plus', you should be able to get around 7-8 charges from this charger. Pretty impressive.

We also plugged in various other items such as PS4 controller (seriously, those things can't hold a charge worth a darn), PS Vita, PSP, 3DS, and other sundry devices. The charger fit easily in my backpack and was super convenient to use at work, or while picking up the kids, at church *cough*, and even at the in-laws. It's just so convenient to use.

Final Thoughts
The EasyAcc PB18000 is a quality product that will keep any tech-head charged without having to constantly worry about where the next outlet is, especially while traveling or on the go. We highly recommend it since it's affordable, robust, quality built, and keeps your gear charged. EasyAcc has a winner when compared to some of the high priced, lower capacity name chargers. No techie should be without one.
