GAMEBABY Retro Gaming Case for iPhone 17 Pro Review

GAMEBABY consists of two parts that attach to your phone. As a phone case, both parts attach to the back. As a controller, flip the lower part to the front, and your phone instantly becomes a retro gaming handheld. Enjoy gaming on-the-go with GAMEBABY’s versatile design. So if you are a gamer on mobile this is certainly something for you to check out.

GAMEBABY supports GB, GBC, GBA, and NES button layouts, with custom emulator skins for perfect compatibility across various handheld console layouts right on your iPhone 17 pro or other compatible phones. You will need to download apps to get this case to work and it may take two apps depending on your region for me in Ireland I had to download two apps being altspace and delta emulator and delta being the main app where you can add skins and game ROMS in order to use the case to its full potential.

 

 

GAMEBABY needs no charging, Bluetooth pairing, or complex setup. Just flip the lower part to the front anytime, anywhere to start gaming and a first I have seen in such phone case offerings where a charge is needed via phone or bluetooth connection so this is a simple slap on and get playing with no faffing around to some extent.

How it works

  • Accessory: The GAMEBABY is a two-piece case that acts as a physical controller when the phone is not in use as a regular case.
  • Physical buttons: The bottom piece of the case contains physical buttons that operate by pressing on the screen to mimic touch inputs.
  • Game compatibility: It works with the Delta emulator to play games from systems such as NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
  • Emulator setup: To use the physical buttons, you need to download the Delta emulator from the App Store and a custom skin that aligns the on-screen controls with the physical buttons on the case. 

Overall it is not your typical phone case but ads more to the usual slap on and go it is functional and retro and enables you to open a new world of gaming on your iPhone.

Fujifilm instax mini LiPlay+ hybrid instant camera Review

The Fujifilm Instax mini LiPlay+ builds upon the popular LiPlay hybrid concept, delivering a compact, 3-in-1 device that functions as a digital camera, an instant film printer, and a unique sound recorder. Launched as an upgrade to its predecessor, the LiPlay+ introduces some new features that make it one of the most versatile Instax cameras yet.

The most impactful upgrade is the Dual-Lens System. Where the original relied on a small mirror for selfies, the LiPlay+ features a dedicated wide-angle selfie camera on the back (above the main LCD). This significantly improves framing and precision for self-portraits. This dual system powers the new Layered Photo Mode, allowing users to combine images from both lenses onto a single print.

Like all Instax hybrids, the LiPlay+ is a digital camera first (using a small 1/5-inch CMOS sensor, producing 4.9MP images), which is a huge benefit:

  1. Select Before You Print: You can review, edit, and filter images on the 3.0-inch LCD before committing to a print, saving expensive film.
  2. Smartphone Printing: It connects via Bluetooth to your smartphone, allowing it to function as a printer for any photo on your phone’s camera roll.

The camera’s digital image quality (4.9MP)  and is not intended to compete with modern smartphones. It captures the charm of nostalgic, retro photography.

  • Best Performance: Performs best in bright, well-lit conditions.
  • Low Light: Expect focus hesitation in dim environments, though the built-in flash works well within its limited range (up to 1.5m).
  • Print Quality: When printed on Instax Mini film, the digital file is rendered beautifully in the classic instant film aesthetic. You can choose between Instax-Rich Mode (deeper, vibrant colors) or Instax-Natural Mode (softer, classic film look) before printing.

The LiPlay+ is designed for vertical shooting, which complements the portrait-orientation of the Instax Mini film. The control layout is intuitive, featuring a navigational dial that doubles as shortcuts for filters, frames, and flash settings.

Its compact size (4.86 x 3.27 x 1.49 inches) makes it easy to carry in a coat pocket or small bag some might think it is a bit clunky however and each to their own.

Many of the creative features, like customizing frames and utilizing the advanced Sound Album feature, are managed through the companion smartphone app and you can see this down below and also check out the unboxing and walkthrough video.

This unique feature allows you to record a short (3-second) audio clip when you take a photo. When printed, a QR code appears on the film. Scanning this code with the companion app plays back the recorded sound, adding an interactive, auditory layer to your physical memory. See samples below. Yes you can scan the QR codes.

The Fujifilm Instax mini LiPlay+ is a highly versatile and fun instant camera, ideal for users who want the creative freedom of digital photography without losing the tangible experience of an Instax print. Popular as ever this will be in many Christmas gifts this year and one should lap it up if so and have fun and get creative with the new features on board.

Ulike Air 2 IPL Hair Removal Device

The Ulike Air 2 IPL Hair Removal Device stands out in the at-home beauty market, primarily known for its patented Sapphire Ice-Cooling Technology. This device is a mid-range offering in Ulike’s lineup, designed to provide a near-painless, convenient, and effective way to achieve long-term hair reduction.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the device, its performance, and who it is best suited for.

The Air 2 utilizes Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, which works by emitting broad-spectrum light that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. This light energy converts to heat, weakening the follicle and slowing down regrowth.

  • Sapphire Ice-Cooling Technology: This is the flagship feature. The device maintains a cool contact surface which counteracts the heat generated by the IPL flash. This feature is the main reason why users report the treatment as virtually painless, eliminating the stinging or burning sensation common with older IPL models.
  • Wired Device: The Air 2 is a corded device. While this means it must be plugged in during use, it ensures consistent, high-powered flashes and eliminates the worry of battery life dropping mid-session.
  • 5 Intensity Levels: It offers five adjustable energy levels, allowing users to customize the treatment based on their skin sensitivity and the area being treated (e.g., lower levels for the face/bikini line, higher levels for legs/arms).
  • Visible Results in 4 Weeks: Ulike, backed by third-party testing, claims users can see a significant hair reduction in as little as four weeks of consistent use and same can be said from testing here at home with partner
  • Full-Body Use: The device is FDA-cleared for safe use on the legs, body, face, and bikini line.

The Ulike Air 2 is designed with a sleek, lightweight, and ergonomic wand-like shape, making it easy to grip and maneuver across large and curved body areas and is simple to use set up and get going as this takes time to use and it does not offer overnight results as some might come to expect.

  • Setup: The device is very straightforward. After plugging it in, users simply put on the protective sunglasses (included), shave the target area, select the appropriate intensity level, and begin treatment.
  • Painless Operation: The cooling feature is highly praised. Users consistently report that the cooling surface is activated immediately and keeps the skin comfortable, even at higher intensity settings.
  • Treatment Time: While not as fast as newer models like the Air 10, the Air 2 still offers relatively quick sessions. Full-body treatments typically take around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the speed and technique (using the ‘glide’ method or the ‘stamp’ method).

  • The IPL Caveat (Skin Tone & Hair Color): Like all IPL devices, the Air 2 relies on the contrast between dark hair and light skin. It is most effective on lighter skin tones (Fair to Light Brown) with darker hair colors (Brown to Black). It is not recommended for very dark skin tones or for light hair (blonde, gray, red) as it may not be effective or could potentially cause skin irritation.

Consistent use is key to achieving optimal results with the Ulike Air 2 and again a reminder it takes time to see the effects.

The recommended schedule typically involves 3 treatments per week for the first 4 weeks, followed by a transition to maintenance sessions (1 to 3 times per month) once hair growth slows significantly.

Slower Regrowth: Hair growth slows down noticeably within the first month.

Thinner and Lighter Hair: Regrowing hairs become softer, finer, and less dense.

Long-Term Reduction: After the initial phase, many users find they only need occasional touch-ups every few weeks to maintain smooth skin, saving substantial time and money compared to waxing or in-office laser treatments.

The Ulike Air 2 is an excellent choice for first-time IPL users and anyone prioritizing comfort and convenience and also cutting down on costs and you can use at home of if you are travelling and no need to waste time finidng appointments in clinics and so on men and women can use it and done so discreetly.

Unboxing

Poly Voyager Surround 80 UC Review

Having reviewed audio gear and office headsets for over 10 years, I’ve tested a wide range of Poly (formerly Plantronics) products — from dependable Bluetooth models to enterprise-grade headsets. The Poly Voyager Surround 80 UC is positioned as a premium, business-focused option for hybrid professionals who need comfort, clarity, and seamless connectivity across devices.

Design and Comfort

The Voyager Surround 80 UC is an over-the-head model featuring an ergonomic gap at the top of the headband to reduce pressure points. At 275 grams, it feels comfortable and balanced even during long meetings. The artificial leather ear cushions are soft and breathable, providing a pleasant wearing experience throughout the day.

The overall construction feels solid and businesslike, with subtle branding and a Teams logo for those in Microsoft environments. While the button layout is intuitive for right-handed users, left-handers might find the positioning less natural. Still, it’s a well-designed, durable headset suited to daily professional use.

Controls and Connectivity

Poly combines touch and button controls to handle calls, music playback, and volume with ease. Touch gestures manage playback and volume, while physical buttons cover mute, power, and Bluetooth pairing. 

Connectivity is excellent, with support for Bluetooth 5.3, the included BT700 USB-C adapter, and optional USB-C to 3.5 mm cable for wired use. Pairing with Windows 11, Android, and macOS devices was quick and stable. The headset supports dual-device connectivity, making it easy to switch between laptop and phone without interruptions.

 

What’s in the Box

  • Poly Voyager Surround 80 UC headset
  • Premium carry case with zip pocket for accessories
  • BT700 USB-C Bluetooth adapter
  • USB-C to USB-A adapter 
  • USB-C to 3.5 mm audio cable 
  • USB charging cable 
  • User guide

 

The carry case deserves special mention — sturdy, compact, and well thought out, making it ideal for professionals commuting between office and home.

Setup & Software (Poly Lens)

The Voyager Surround 80 UC can be used straight out of the box via Bluetooth, connecting instantly without requiring additional software. However, downloading the Poly Lens app unlocks a range of useful customisation and management options.

With Poly Lens, users can: 

  • Customise headset controls and button functions
  • Enable smart sensors that detect when the headset is worn or removed
  • Automatically pause or resume media, or mute/unmute calls
  • Manage firmware updates and battery monitoring
  • Access Poly Lens Cloud for centralised device management (ideal for IT teams)

The software is well designed and adds real value, particularly for business users who want to tailor their experience or manage multiple devices.

 

Features

  • Adaptive Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) to reduce distractions
  • Six built-in microphones for clear, boomless voice pickup
  • Dual-device Bluetooth connectivity for laptop and phone pairing
  • Touch and button controls for calls, playback, and volume
  • Up to 21 hours talk time / 24 hours listening time
  • DeepSleep mode conserves power when inactive
  • Teams and UC certified for professional collaboration platform
  • Poly Lens integration for software customisation and management
  • 2-Year Manufacturer Warranty for peace of mind

 

Sound and Microphone Performance

Audio performance is impressive for professional use. The six microphones deliver crisp, natural voice pickup and handle background noise effectively through adaptive ANC. The boomless design keeps things tidy while maintaining excellent speech clarity.

During testing across Teams, Zoom, and Android phone calls, the overall audio quality was faultless. Voices were clear, background noise was minimal, and the headset performed reliably across multiple devices.

However, one noticeable drawback was that while mute and volume controls worked correctly on the headset, these actions didn’t always visually reflect in Microsoft Teams across different laptops. The headset muted and adjusted sound as expected, but Teams’ on-screen indicators didn’t always match the headset’s status — a minor but noticeable usability issue.

On Android, by contrast, everything worked seamlessly: media playback, track skipping, and volume control all responded perfectly.

Battery and Power Management

Battery life remains a major strength, with up to 21 hours of talk time or 24 hours of listening time. The DeepSleep mode automatically conserves energy after 24 hours of inactivity, and charging via USB-C is quick and convenient. It’s an ideal companion for long workdays or travel without needing to worry about frequent recharging.

Real-World Experience

In practical use, the Voyager Surround 80 UC delivers exactly what professionals need: reliable connectivity, consistent audio, and all-day comfort. The dual-device connection works flawlessly, allowing smooth transitions between phone and laptop calls.

While the Teams visual feedback issue is worth noting, it doesn’t affect actual functionality or audio performance. The headset remains a dependable tool for business calls and virtual meetings.

Verdict

The Poly Voyager Surround 80 UC is a high-quality, professional headset built for hybrid workers who spend much of their day in virtual meetings. It offers excellent microphone clarity, strong noise cancellation, long battery life, and a well-designed carry case that makes it easy to travel with.

While it commands a premium price, it’s backed by solid engineering, reliable connectivity, and a two-year warranty. The only minor frustrations lie in the Teams visual control sync issue and sensitive touch controls, but overall, this is a polished, professional headset that performs consistently where it matters most — in call quality, comfort, and usability.

Ezdore Smart Bluetooth Sunglasses with Audio – Blue Lenses Review

The Ezdore Smart Bluetooth Sunglasses with Audio – Blue Lenses  are an affordable pair of smart bluetooth sunglasses with speakers on board to listen to your music with one device and not a separate pair of earbuds on the go at the beach travelling or even in your home or backgarden in the sun.

They are a typical pair of holdiday sunglasses and look fine and not too geeky and reasonable fashionable in todays world they do not look smart they block the sun and the sound is decent enough for the price you will pay in fairness.

There is two controls on the Ezdore smart sunglasses and basically all the fucntions you would have on traditional earbuds with skip and reverse tracks volume control and of course access to your voice assistant which you can see all working in the vide review down below.

The arms are thicker than regualr sunglasses which of course houses the tech inside and the sound is decent enough and act like open-ear buds which are now a thing in the earbuds market.

There is some sound leakage when turned up to the max and this is to be expected from such tech, the volume is loud enough but on full volume if someone is sitting beside you on a bus or train expect a tap on the shoulder but at home or in private it is best to have them turned up to the max for a decent listening experience.

One benefit of such open ear here is you can har what is going on around you which is great also now with a glare on the road this time of year and a low lying sun these could work well for cyclists and joggers and so one where they can listen to their tunes and be also awar with what is going on around the, so overall not a bad product with a decent battery life and also decent call quality and protecting your eyes at the same time,check the video below for more.

 

Who are these for

  • Athletes & Runners
    • Music without blocking safety sounds
  • Outdoor Workers
    • Protection + communication
  • Tech Professionals
    • Blue light protection during screen time
  • Cyclists
    • Safe audio while staying alert

NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card Review

The NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card is designed to be a seamless, ultra-thin alternative to bulkier item trackers, specifically catering to wallets, passport holders, and luggage tags. Its primary appeal lies in its extremely thin profile and long-lasting battery, making it a competitive choice in the Apple Find My ecosystem and to make note early this is an iOS only product we have an Android version tag review also done.

The slimness is a good selling point and fits into all my wallets with ease. Integration with the Apple Find My network is immediate and reliable, providing the same global tracking peace of mind as an AirTag. The 6-year battery life (yet to be proven) is a massive advantage over rechargeable cards or those with 1-year replaceable batteries, minimizing maintenance. The setup process is quick and simple within the Find My app.

The main limitation is that the card is iOS-only and does not support Android devices. Furthermore, because it utilizes Bluetooth and the Find My network, it does not offer Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Precision Finding (the directional arrow feature found in AirTags), meaning you won’t get meter-specific guidance to an item nearby; you must rely on the 80dB sound cue for close-range location.

The NOVOO Slim Smart Tracker Card is an excellent choice for iPhone users seeking a dedicated, low-maintenance wallet tracker. It solves the critical problem of bulk that plagues many circular trackers, and its 6-year lifespan is unparalleled in this category. See the video down below for more

Features

 

  • Compatible with Apple Find My AppSetting up the NOVOO Wallet Tracker is fast and easy. Simply open Apple’s “Find My” app, enable Bluetooth, and pair the device within 30 seconds.

  • Long-Lasting 6-Year BatteryWith a remarkable 540mAh battery, the NOVOO Slim Smart Track Card only needs to be replaced once every six years. Say goodbye to the hassle of recharging every 3-6 months like other Bluetooth trackers. You can check the remaining battery life anytime, with notifications sent to your smartphone when it drops below 20%.(𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Lasting 6-Year Battery, Battery Not Rechargeable)
  • Ultra-Slim SmartCardThe NOVOO Wallet Tracker Card is just 1.6mm thick, equivalent to two credit cards stacked together. This ultra-slim design allows it to seamlessly fit into any wallet, purse, luggage tag or backpack, making it ideal for travelers or anyone looking to keep track of valuable items without adding bulk.

 

 

IP68 Waterproof & Dust ResistantWith an industry-leading IP68 waterproof rating, the NOVOO Wallet Tracker is
  • designed to withstand splashes, rain, and even brief submersion up to 1.5 meters (4.92 feet) for 30 minutes. Perfect for outdoor activities, travel, or daily use, it ensures reliable performance even in tough weather conditions.
  • Smart Reminder Alert for Easy LocationEnjoy a Bluetooth range of up to 131 feet (40 meters) with an 80dB ringtone for long-distance tracking. If your device is within range, use the “Find My” app or ask Siri to ring it. Even if the tracker is out of Bluetooth range, you can still view the last known location and get directions through the Find My network of billions of Apple devices.
  • Lost Mode and Smart Location AlertsActivate Lost Mode to leverage Apple’s vast network of devices, helping you find your lost items. When your tracker is detected by an Apple device, you’ll automatically receive notifications. Additionally, your iPhone will notify you when the tracker moves out of Bluetooth range, and you can see the last known location in the “Find My” app.
  • Privacy Protection and Anti-Tracking AlertsThe NOVOO Slim Smart Track Card uses AES-128 encryption, ensuring your data remains secure. Get notified if an unknown tracker follows you, giving peace of mind in crowded places or while travelling. Additionally, if an unauthorized card is detected, you’ll receive an alert to protect your privacy.

EZVIZ H8 Pro Pan and tilt security camera review

The EZVIZ H8 Pro is a feature-packed outdoor Wi-Fi camera that combines 360-degree panoramic viewing with high 2K resolution and advanced on-board AI processing. This combination aims to eliminate blind spots while delivering smart, actionable alerts, making it a strong contender in the mid-range pan-and-tilt security market.

The resolution is great on this camera which is crucial for identifying license plates, faces, and small details over distance, especially in large outdoor areas. The video compression uses H.265, which keeps file sizes small despite the high resolution which can also be quickly downloaded or watched on playback in the app.

The motorized 360° pan and 80° tilt delivers truly comprehensive coverage. When paired with its auto-tracking, the camera automatically locks onto detected human movement, rotates to follow, and even zooms in up to 4x to ensure the activity is recorded in full. This is its standout feature, ensuring you capture events that would otherwise move out of a fixed camera’s field of view.

The on-board AI algorithm for detecting human and vehicle shapes is highly effective. This at times did not reduce the frequency of irrelevant notifications caused by shadows, rain, animals and flies/moths particulary at night which is a common occurance and again with rain especially at night. The siren and spotlight do a great job with loud audibile alert and bright lights and two way talk also sounds clear.

Installation is generally straightforward, for me existing holes there from other camera reviews where fine, however if plugging direct to your router you might be limited The inclusion of an Ethernet port is a major benefit for stability, particularly if the camera is mounted far from the router. The EZVIZ mobile app is the central hub for control and viewing, offering features like defining viewing spots, which the camera can return to quickly after tracking an event you can see in the video review down below

One issue for me during testing was a constant connection loss or using the app at any given time this is due to house build despite moving router I still had connection issues dropping out quite often so a fix would be a wi-fi extender for those who have similar issues this has been the case with many camera reviews

The EZVIZ H8 Pro stands out as one of the best value pan-and-tilt outdoor cameras available if you go without a sunscription to get extra features, Its combination of 2K high-resolution video, reliable dual connectivity (after installing Wi-Fi extender), and intelligent AI tracking makes it a highly effective guardian for large areas, though tested in a tight spot for me to put it to the test it serves well on wider areas. While the short power cable is a common minor frustration, the overall package of features, particularly the AI-powered precision and ability to track and zoom automatically, makes it a top recommendation for anyone seeking comprehensive and smart outdoor surveillance at a fair price.

The App

Features 

  • 360° vision in 2K: The H8 Pro 2K pans and tilts to take in information from all directions in 2K resolution, so you can see the big picture of your protected area without missing the small details.
  • AI Detection: The camera’s on-board AI algorithm helps it identify moving people and vehicles in particular. It sometimes reduces alerts caused by falling leaves or flying insects, and informs you when someone parks in your property area without permission.The H8 Pro 2K distinguishes people from pets or insignificant moving objects. When human activity gets detected, the camera will lock on the target and automatically rotate to follow the movement. Nothing will easily escape your attention.
  • Active Defense: The camera features the active defense function to provide an extra layer of protection. Upon detection of intruders, the camera will set off a loud siren and flash two spotlights for on-site deterrence.

  • Color Night Vision: The camera makes sure that no one can easily sneak in under the cover of darkness. It renders color night vision with the help of built-in spotlights, and ensures impressive black-and-white vision when lights are off. What’s better, you can set the camera to the “smart night vision” mode so its vision can automatically switch from black-and-white to full color upon motion detection.
  • See, hear and talk, from anywhere: Leaving home for family trips but worried about missed deliveries or unexpected visitors? With the H8 Pro 2K, you can simply use your smartphone to see, hear and talk to anyone who shows up at your property area.The H8 Pro 2K has a compact design, and is weatherproof to deliver long-standing performance, even in harsh weather conditions.
