If you’re looking for some quality mobile accessories but don’t have much to spend, for about $2 you could get a nice, slim and attractive stand like this one for your smartphone.

InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protection Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on May 12, 2013 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

I changed my phone recently and, in order to protect it from scratches from the start, I got ZAGG’s InvisibleSHIELD Full Body screen protector. The choice was based on my previous experience with the product, which makes me consider it the best screen or full body protection. I also wanted one because my phone model doesn’t feature any advertised built-in screen protection like Corning Gorilla Glass or scratch-proof layer, but I think that regardless of the smartphone, you need at least a good screen protection, because it never knows. You can find InvisibleSHIELD kits for about any handset, including Samsung Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5, and they are available in a few versions, such as just screen protection, full body protection (front and back) and maximum protection (front, back and sides).

Energizer XP4001 Portable Charger Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on February 9, 2013 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

I often go to malls in the afternoon so me and my husband need to have our cell phones with us because in busy days at the supermarket we have to split and call each other so we don’t get lost. As I need 4 hours of wandering through shops to feel satisfied, I have to leave home early and sometimes I find my phone’s battery almost empty. When that happens, I ask my husband to wait at least half an hour to charge the phone a bit before leaving. That’s annoying for someone for whom time matters, but with a portable charger the problem is solved, finally! Read more

Focalprice Digital Caliper Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on January 31, 2013 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

Since a few months ago I have been learning to work with silver and make jewelry at home, in the kitchen, so when Focalprice contacted me to send a product sample for review, I decided to pick something essential for my jewelry toolbox, a digital caliper. Before choosing the right model, I spent some time browsing reviews to see what others think about this product. As I’m a beginner in working with metals, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a caliper and I discovered that this caliper offers quality for an affordable price. Read more

AirBuds Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on November 6, 2012 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

In-ear headphones are preferred by many audiophiles because of the high efficiency in blocking surrounding sound without making their heads look bigger. This makes them great for listening to music discretely, while on the move or in public places.

Problem: Everything that puts pressure on your skin, including slight pressure, becomes unbearable after a while as it creates pain, and I have to include here silicone in-ear earphones too, at least based on my experience.

Solution: AirBuds

5-in-1 Wireless Headphones Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on October 8, 2012 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

It’s amazing to see how fast technology is advancing and how people who keep up with it have access to many devices created to improve their lifestyles. One of my dreams is to get rid of all wires in my home and replace them with wireless connectivity between devices.

Watching TV at night in the bedroom when someone else is there trying to sleep is a common practice in many homes. Using headphones is a solution but there are at least two issues that I didn’t manage to fix until a few weeks ago – you need headphones designed for the TV, with a very long wire that will get tangled in your bed, plus that you won’t be able to move too much with them over your ears, and secondly, wireless headphones mostly come from famous brands and are expensive.

Stereo USB Cassette Capture Device Hands-on Review

Published by Sierra Monica B. on October 3, 2012 under Product Reviews and Giveaways

The following review is of a gadget I’ve craved for a long time. No one listens to cassette tapes today, but I bet many of you still have some old recordings with your own voices, made when you were little, or something that you can’t find anywhere else. Like me, you would like to have them converted into digital format, but don’t know how to do that. Read more
