Review – Genuine leather wallet case for the Nokia 7plus from @TerrapinCases #Nokia7Plus

Our last case from Terrapin Accessories is the Genuine leather wallet case for the Nokia 7 plus, This case will offer again more for the consumer but it is also bulky due to extra features and being leather but having said that its going to protect your device no matter the situation. Offer a cash slot and credit cards slots it will fill the needs for most,these cases are popular however not a case I would personally use due to opportunist criminals who snatch and grab mobile phones. Overall it looks great and professional check out the images and video below for more.

Review – Anchor Cable, it is all you need. One cable for all. #tech #cables #AnchorCable

With all the tech I have here and not just me the average Joe, cables are something we can’t avoid and they are also annoying. For me it is more so due to my line of work and they are everywhere. Not a bad thing in one sense should I need one but they make a mess also they get lost or people just take them when here in the house but that’s life.

There is some solutions out there right now to keep cable management easy but this cable here in particular solves many scenarios in one swoop for those who have phones and tablets and anything that takes the standard connection ports today such as micro usb and now the ever-growing USB-C

Anchor Cable aims to sort this out with one package and three port connections which are all magnetic and cover most of  todays current tech, the package comes simply presented showing all the goods which consist of 1 cable and three ports, the cable is no cheap cable either its the worlds strongest cable according to the company.

The cable also offers fast charging which today is the norm particularly with Mobile phones, We all like a quick charge to kill the battery anxiety attack. Data transfer is also something not ignored here and falls in line with current capacities now available so this is something people will be glad to see and many have asked this question already to me personally.

My only concern here with this prodcut is loosing the tips but I am sure you can probably buy them again at a later date, A cable is a cable the end of the day,most also think the same and there is many cables out there today at various pricepoints but they do vary with quality and connectivity  and this cable solves many issue for people with one prodcut, its also constructed well and will last and comes with a lifetime warranty too which is a welcome move.

 

This cable offers simplicity and if like me you have multiple devices in the house you can switch easily between devices that have micro usb and USB-C ports and for those who transfers a lot of data be it images or files hotspwapping devices here is great and also not forgetting this is a tangle free cable thank god.

Review – The Conbrov T17 dashcam. #Dashcams #Motoring #Tech #Conbrov

I have tried and tested multiple dashcams over the years and we have more coming so watch out for that but small or claiming to be the worlds smallest might be a selling point and some may jump on that pitch alone but before you do some research. This dashcam is small and small on the pocket, There is cheaper out there and true to form you get what you pay for and in this instance here that applies.

One thing I like is its size it does not stand out and can be easily placed anywhere on your windscreen and can be pretty much hidden in any corner and people would not even see it,only if you where looking for it you would.

UNBOXING

The dash cam is smaller than a credit card, when you mount it to your car’s windshield, the minimum and ultra thin size and design is easily concealed, and will not distract you while driving.

Set up is simple and it is pretty much the standard with most these days you can basically plug it in and off you go. There is a simple UI to use and even the not so technically minded should find it easy to follow,but below is a UI walk through if you have any questions you can also fire away below or on you tube and I would suggest you fix the time stamp as many don’t.

Package contents – T17 Car Dash Cam, A Car charger,USB cable, Car bracket and suction cup,Card reader, Reset tool,it’s the same as a sim removal tool. User guides and a VIP registration card.

This not only serves as a video recorder but you can take photos on it but they are not the best quality nor is this aimed for that purpose. You can set your default loop time as seen in video typically I always use 2/3 minutes. The bigger the card the better is always the best option for using dahscams however none was provided with the unit which is a common trend so I can’t really complain about that you will only be able to use up to 32GB max which is fine.. There is G sensor on board here which locks your clips should you have a bump and these files will not be overwritten which is great although it does lock files accidently.

Quality is OK but not fantastic and does the job it is set out to do for the price. I would however be careful how it’s placed in direct sunlight or if you wanted to grab a reg plate at a distance, You can maneuver the unit almost any direction you want a random tweak can be easily applied on the go you will see glare for example on your tiny screen that is pixellated up close but again for the money and the size you can’t really complain.

With all that is available on the unit it is not a bad pick up in fairness and given it’s the cheapest one I have reviewed you can’t really go wrong, Setup is simple the UI is simple to use and it comes with all the requirements you need to give you added protection on the road, the quality is not mind blowing but again the cost and the size comes into play here and having said that it can only get better as time goes on, I would prefer a small unit like this that a big lump on the window which can be distracting not only by me but anyone walking past can see dashcams and leave you open to theft.

Key Features

  • 1080P HD RESOLUTION:This dashcam captures 1080p footage, delivers stunning image quality day and night, clear video evidence potentially critical in an insurance claim or lawsuit,making Conbrov your best friend on the road.
  • 📷WORLD’S SMALLEST DASH CAM:Half of a Credit Card size – The mini and ultra thin size and design is easily concealed – doesn’t obstruct your vision and distract you while driving.
  • 📷EASY TO SET UP:Simply mount it to the windshield, connect the usb cable,the car camcorder will automatically record while driving. Note:this dash cam supports microSD cards (NOT INCLUDED) up to 32 GB, don’t forget to prepare a memory sd card before using the dash cam.
  • 📷ACCIDENT AUTO DETECTION FEATURE:Triggered by G-sensor, the dashboard camera will automatically lock videos of car accidents, giving you a vital record of the incident for your use.
  • 📷WHAT’S IN THE BOX:Conbrov T17 Car Dash Cam,car charger,usb cable,car bracket, card reader,pin,user manual,and our fan-favorite 12-month warranty.

Pros- Cheap, Simple UI, Simple Set-up, Discreet,Size

Cons – No SD card, Some oddities with files transfer such as noise and missing video footage, Locks files unesseccerily but you can turn this off.

Review – FOCAL LISTEN wireless headpones. #Focal #Headphones #tech

The Focal listen are the latest cans to arrive and I have been testing them out some time now and overall they are a quality made comfortable that comes in a nice range of colours to boot. We have the Black gloss version even thought the colour was not to my taste they do a great job and are very comfortable..

UNBOXING

First off the presentation is excllent which is something I prefer in a prodcut they are well packed and come nicely presented in a solid package and looks good on opening, We get all the usual requirements including a carry bag which some manufacturers tend to forget, headphones are portable and we need to store them when not in use especially when travelling.. Also included is a 1.4m (4.5ft.) OFC cable with remote control and omnidirectional microphone and Aircraft adapter.

 

 

Design – Plastic all round which is nothing new to be honest they could have had more metal here but its not a deal breaker, the hinges again are all plastic but seem sturdy enough and should last a while if you are the carefull type, One thing that also was a small gripe is that the cups do not rotate this makes way for comfortable storage but as is leaves them more on the bulky side but they do come with a soft touch case so we can forgive them for that.

Controls – The buttons are large and covered in rubber and easy to navigate blindly after some use, at the beggining you will find it hard to select blindly there is a proper slider switch on/of you also get voice commands albeit sounding robotic it works well and with this on board you know where you stand and thats good. The usual factors that come into play are here (volume up and down,Track forward, play/pause)  and the Bluetooth connection button lights up Blue which is nice and looks well.

 

All the buttons are on one side,the right which keeps things simple, Also on the right is the charge port which changes colour on charge status which is a nice effect,On the left is the 3.5mm socket should you run out juice which is sunken into the cup itself keeping that cable safe and tight fit.

Comfort  – These are comfortble,the headband has a nice rubber band underneath which is typical with most manufacturers today and the cups are a nice soft leather which sits nicely over the ears isolating noise from outside, if you are using these outdoors you will find them working well enough to isolate noise given there no ANC on board here, I did notice some sweat build up after a long session wearing them but this can happen with any type and again weather and individual use comes into play here.

Sound – Wired or wireless they sound great probably better though wired,although there is an argument for another day here on that subject they where easy to connect to my smartphone and connect promptly each time I turn them on,some headphones can lag in this are this was not the case here everytime. Listening to all formats of music from many genres male and female they sound great and any audiophile will be impressed enough with them but the average Joe who is not use to having many headphones will be pleasantly surpirsed with the sound quality on offer here and will not be dissapointed and they are also quite loud turned up to the max with little or no distortion.

Overall I was impressed with these given I had the Black Gloss,they are a fingerprint magnet like anything in Black gloss and I would have liked to seen more metal on show,the battery life is decent and overall they are really comfortable and offer good value for the price you pay and on point with similar in the price range.

Two layered case protects from bumps, scrapes and drops

This tough protective case has been designed for those with an active lifestyle. It provides great shock and impact absorption thanks to its lightweight TPU polymer with a precisely positioned hard skeleton for added protection. The design of the exoskeleton extends out to protect vulnerable parts of your Nokia 7 Plus such as the corners and sides.

Features an impact-resistant polycarbonate exoskeleton

This dual-layer case features a tough exoskeleton, which covers the back and vulnerable corners of your phone from damage. They are made from an impact-resistant, polycarbonate plastic shell protecting your Nokia 7 Plus from accidental damage – keeping it looking as good as it did when you bought it.

Textured grid finishing improves grip and comfort

Complementing the protective properties of the polycarbonate shell is a textured finish, which not only helps to improve grip when holding the handset, but also makes it more comfortable in the palm of your hand.

Portable flip-out stand for landscape viewing 

The dual-layer case’s hard exoskeleton doesn’t just add strength to the shell, but features an ergonomically designed stand that pulls out to give the perfect viewing angle for watching media, web browsing and reading. The stand then simply clicks back into place and lays completely flat so there is zero extra bulk added to the case.

Cut-outs for the main ports and features of the phone

This tough protective case has been designed specifically for the Nokia 7 Plus and has cut-outs for the main ports and features of the smartphone such as the camera with flash. The power and volume buttons are covered, but remain functional while encased to give unbeatable protection.
