Speck Unveils a New Line of Protective Cases For iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR

Speck has just released its line of cases for iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR which includes the all-new Presidio Pro, Presidio Ultra and Presidio Stay Clear. The entire line of cases for the new iPhones is Speck’s largest ever for a device launch, and features a wide range of fresh, fall colors and new patterns. If you have not tried this companies cases you should do they are really great and you can search for multiple reviews we have carried out here on site.

Presidio Pro is the new standard in all-around device protection, incorporating an antimicrobial treatment that inhibits the growth of bacteria on the case, in addition to Speck’s trademark 3 metre protection and raised bezel screen protection. The modern feel of the scratch-resistant, soft-touch exterior keeps the case looking newer, longer. Ridges of Speck’s proprietary IMPACTIUM™ rubber on the inside perimeter compress on impact to absorb and disperse shock.

Presidio ULTRA, Speck’s 2-in-1 ultra protective case now features a Presidio Pro as the base of the case. The removable ULTRA bumper protects the ports against dust and dirt, while defending the device against drops of up to 4,6 metres. With Presidio Ultra, users can customize the level of protection when they need it most.

Presidio Stay Clear is designed to show off the beauty of the iPhone. The case has a newly developed coating that provides a superior level of protection against yellowing and discoloration, to keep your case looking clearer, longer. It not only resists discoloration from the sun’s UV rays, but also oils that are in makeup, lotions and substances that cases often come into contact with. The inner layer of each Presidio Stay Clear case is made of IMPACTIUM Clear, a proprietary shock-absorbing material that helps protect against drops of up to 2,4 metres.

The full Speck Presidio line for iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR includes:

  • Presidio Pro (£19.95 – £24.95) — Protective, slim case with antimicrobial protection tested to withstand drops of up to 3 metres
  • Presidio Stay Clear (£19.95 – £24.95) — Features a new innovative coating that resists UV-yellowing and discoloration caused by lotions and other oils

Review – Gadgetpro 360 degree mobile phone holder from @homestoreNmore #accessories #mobile

It is the simple things in life that we seem to ignore but they have been looking at us in the face a long long time. 

I got quite a few tech gifts for Christmas which is nothing new but this year I bought a few bits I will emphasise on some more due to the fact I said I can live without them but thought maybe they would be useful rather than MEH, and one of them is the gadgetpro phone holder which turns out to be useful,this is primarily ideal depending on ones personal setup and certainly for the bedroom on your locker, it keeps yout hands free..

Example being I like to watch some You tube when I go to bed for a while but I constantly have my phone in the had which is a pain in the backside to be honest but this just eliminates it. You could also use it for cooking,reading the news or social and perhaps food menus and clip it on to your counter just some example of to its many uses.

This can also clip on to your table or laptop itself if you have big bezels and not to interfeer to much with screen. It really is simple and easy to use with two parts in the box. You get the cable that is adjustable to move in any way possible and the clip to hold your device which holds nearly any smartphone out there but its also solid but it does get a bit less robust in its power and is a bit springy on touch depending on how straight the cable is so its best to keep it more coiled for a stable environment.

Overall thoughts, its a nice simple idea that is cost effective and useful and for sure it will make things a bit easier for me at home and keep my hands off my phone for a bit longer as its always attached to me in some form so its a good thing in general. The good feature is that the grips both on the phone holder and mount itself are padded well which will not damage the surfaces its connected too and its a snap in ball joint for the phone holder which also can be adjusted to your personal needs.. For three EURO you cant fucking complain.

If you got some new tech tell us what you think about it.

Review – #Brainwavz Hengja headphone hanger. #tech #accessories @BrainwavzAudio

Having tech around the house can cause clutter and in my house this is a problem but I like to keep my work space tidy and all things accessible and at hand for testing reviewing and helping other with issues. This product is not tech so to speak but something to keep your tech at hand and one thing I have bucket loads of is headphones so this little accessory would be handy for many folk especially those in an office environment and it can be used almost anywhere if you sport headphones this is for you..

The Hengja headphone holder looks nice but not only that it’s as solid as it gets and can be moved either horizontally or vertically via the tool provided in the box. Its sleek black looks will blend in anywhere and provided you have the dimensions provided which many of us will it can be placed in a convenient position that suits you best.

Below is one sample of an area confined to tech storage

1 / 15

 

We have tried multiple headphones some of which are on the heavy side and this is a solid piece and would withstand much more than its designed for and what I like is how easy to set up it is and that it can be moved simply each time I need to move or if I am traveling to events and staying in hotels or moving around with work for example it can come with me as its portable.One thing maybe I would like to see is different colour options to match the many surroundings we have today but there is nothing wrong with the colour its currently available in its costs just 12.89

Strike while the iron is hot with Funky Iron. #StartUp #Home #FunkyIron

The Funky Iron is an electric steam iron, with a catchy design that is supposed to make ironing fun again. Lets be honest lads we dont like ironing do we? Can this change your mindset…..
The founder Joe and Sadie Sillett want to address the bigger question: Can we revive this traditional houseman skill – can we possibly even make ironing sexy? Will the ‘funky‘ look motivate millennials to pick up the old-fashioned skill and learn how to iron themselves? And will husbands finally help out their wives? After all, ironing CAN be fun!

After its highly successful first round of funding in March 2017, The Funky Iron Company has launched its Round 2 Funding campaign on Europe’s leading crowdfunding platform Seedrs opening its doors to both new and existing investors. The Round 1 Funding overfunded to 138%.
For its Round 2 Funding, the company is seeking £150,000 and founders Sadie & Joe Sillett say…

“Our Eureka moment came when realising that, of all the main household goods in the market, the iron was a product crying out to be re-designed and the category challenged with style and colour,“ say the founders Joe & Sadie Sillett. “So far it has been a great journey, we are looking forward to welcoming new investors on board.”

The Funky Iron Company is planning to launch its debut range in February 2018 and is currently talking to both online and traditional retail partners. It will also sell direct to the public via its own website www.thefunkyironcompany.com
