Review: G-Project G-Boom Wireless Bluetooth Boombox
It’s no secret that the small speaker maker G-Project is unusually talented at maximizing speaker value for the dollar—skills acquired from creative director Matthew Paprocki, whose best designs for companies such as Memorex and Soundfreaq have redefined what was possible from budget-priced speakers. The new G-Boom speaker is equally jaw-dropping. […] Read the original post…

We’ve seen some great batteries from Just Mobile, and its new Gum Max Duo ($130) adheres to the same design language while boasting the company’s largest cell to date: 11,200mAh.

Review: Incipio Tek-nical for iPad mini
As with many folios, including Incipio’s own Lexington and LGND, Tek-nical’s shell is made from form-fitting hard plastic. Rather than being covered in faux leather or other material, though, it’s nicely designed to evoke the look of carbon fiber with small dots all over the glossy black surface. The quantity […] Read the original post…

Review: Geneva Lab Geneva WorldRadio
For Geneva Lab—a company that has made its name selling large docking iPod speakers made from lacquered wood—WorldRadio is as close to a complete departure as a new audio accessory could come. Unlike last year’s Model XS, which made a modest shift in materials and size while preserving the same […] Read the original post…
Review: Definitive Technology Sound Cylinder Bluetooth Speaker for iPad
As tube-shaped speakers go—and there have been a few of them over the past few years—Sound Cylinder is certainly the nicest-looking design we’ve seen.

Mac: Binary Formations Home Inventory

Recently updated with tons of new features, this title is […] Read the original post…
Review: Incipio Smart Feather for iPad mini
The thin shell easily snaps onto the back of the iPad mini. What’s unique is that instead of leaving just a long opening down the left edge to accommodate the Smart Cover, Incipio actually has a raised section of plastic that covers the magnetic attachment.
