This case is different,Different because it actually has come up with a simple idea to bring more protection to the front of your screen as well as everywhere else,Called the Revolution Rugged Hybrid case we test it out..
The case comes packed as all previous cases did from the folks at Poetic. Simple and to the point sure we are only going to throw the packaging away… Inside the plastic packaging is the contents,the case and an information leaflet,no frills here its only a case after all…
The case will come in two parts,assembled on receiving it but its a simple process to remove the inner layer which is plastic and the outer layer is a rubberised material feeling solid. See our video for instructions on how to install the case on your device,its done in seconds…

Overall the case felt really solid in hand with soft rubber rails left and right it felt secure in hand ,both sides again have raised humps top and bottom giving more grip in hand when in use. There was no issues with the keys again here all worked perfectly fine and did not require any extra pressure like some new cases can.There was no issues with port access either which come covered and look nice when shut. Nothing to report either from speaker distortion either as ample space was given here but again protected,accessing the side bar too on the edge seen no issues all worked well..

There is quite a few apps now that delve into the medical world which is pretty cool and long may they last and more arrive on the scene but with technology moving forward at the pace it is we are now in the VR space and no better time to start introducing VR apps for those to enjoy and see things in a better perspective and better again immersive,Even for those who have no knowledge in the area can see how things work and so on and this has been popular already with standard apps on our mobiles. VEDAVI medical is about to enter the VR space with VR software allows medical students to learn anatomy in a more efficient and interesting way – in virtual reality.
Kateryna Ukrainets tells us about Vedavi
Are you studying medicine, and you feel lost among all those anatomy structures? Are you fond of learning human anatomy, but you find it impossible to memorize all those “tongue-breaking” Latin terms? Then our VR Human Anatomy is the perfect solution for you!
Our software was created for Oculus Rift VR, and it allows you to learn human anatomy in virtual reality. With VR Human Anatomy you can forget about those thick and dull anatomy books. You can easily look at the anatomical structures as you would in the real world! You just grab it with controllers and inspect it from whichever angle you want. Moreover, each structure is labeled so that you can memorize the names of anatomical structures quickly. At the end of the learning session, you can check your knowledge with the help of a quiz.
This exciting learning tool will overcome the stereotype of the complexity of the human anatomy learning. We have spent months to make VR Human Anatomy a precise software and to consider every small detail!
Since our software is created exclusively for the Oculus Rift, we will launch immediately when the Oculus Touch will be available – preliminarily in H2 2016. Nevertheless, the first version of the VR Human Anatomy is ready, and medical students from the University of Zurich have already tested it. Their impression is more than positive.
Our software will be affordable and accessible to as many medical universities of the world as possible. And of course, it will be available for anyone who is interested in learning anatomy!
There has been plenty of scams of late mostly via your mobile or landline by way of sms or a phone call. The call would be a missed call and you would be inclined to ring it back,This is what they want you to do which ends up costing you money. As per norm anything that looks suspicious just ignore and delete and do not click any links.
The latest scam reminds me of what happened Meteor before with the link dropping you to an almost identical page which would fool some. See HEREfor what that particular incident looked like. Also see over hereon our recent post about the latest scams

Tinder has been around a good while now and plenty of other apps have come off its back since bringing dating to a new level and in fact making it easier to hook up with people than ever before which could be worrying for some.
This app has its own approach though and it is perhaps not a bad idea after all,Considered some apps already can provide a similar alternative native within their apps this app is for those who are about to travel and hooks you up with others at an airport lounge and perhaps a little longer than that.
Might sound a bit on the creepy side for some but often the case we can be sat in the airport bored out of our heads with nothing to do but either look in shops,drinks beer ,bury our heads in our phones,gaze at aeroplanes or perhaps the opposite sex passing by,this app comes in to the latter…You can find a date,perhaps even a partner to sit beside on the plane to make the journey more interesting and less boring as long flights can be… Regular plane hoppers might even know people in their travels and this is another way you could hook up too and spice up that flight….

Aside tech I have a great interest in Weather and Aircraft.Yet I have to experience the insides of an Airbus 380 which I will do in the near future..
If you are an Aircraft enthusiast this is something you should check out and using Google cardboard its even better,the video is not too long either but gives you a detailed look around the cockpit of an Airbus 380..
It simple to set up on any compatible VR headset or cardboard offering,You simple start the video then hit the cardboard icon on screen and away you go.
Watch our pilots give an immersive 360-view tour of the flight deck controls of an Emirates A380, the world’s largest commercial aircraft. To enjoy the 360-video experience, move your mobile device or navigate by touching the screen. If you are using a desktop, click and drag the video to view from any angle.
John Lewis are clearing out their Moto 360 range,both the leather and steel strapped models starting from €104 with the leather strapped version or you can pay €131 for the steel strapped model,these are good prices to pay if you are hunting for a smartwatch,Some will complain about the flat tyre still which is fine but overall its a really good buy giving much of what the newer more expensive options offer for little money. Something to keep in mind this model will not get the Android Wear 2.0 update but its still a very good price and it has not aged much at all to be honest and you can customise the face with plenty of options to pick from,there is some really cool looking watch faces out there…
You will have to use parcel motel or similar to get it at this price shipped to Ireland…
Durable design
Scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass will help keep the Moto 360’s screen safe from scrapes, while IP67 water and dust resistance means that it’s durable enough to wear on rainy days, on sandy beaches or by the pool without worrying.
Ready for everyday
Thanks to an all-day battery life, the Moto 360 will keep up with you throughout your day. When it’s time to recharge, the wireless charging dock makes life simple: just put the Moto 360 on the dock and it’ll begin to charge. It’ll even show the time while it does, making it ideal for use on a bedside table.
What you need, at a glance
Moto 360 uses Android Wear to tell you the time, weather, traffic, flight alerts and more depending on where you are and what you’re doing. Android Wear organises your information, predicts what you need, when you need to see it and show you a notification before you even ask. Incoming or missed call, text message and email alerts all pop up on the screen too, so you can always keep track of your personal notifications.
Cases come in all sizes,builds and design,It is safe to say nothing like this has passed our hands and we have reviewed more than enough cases for the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 edge to date. Welcome Punkcase Metallic to the review section,Is it the biggest and baddest? We think so given the minor caveats though overall we cant complain really..
Lets get one thing straight,this case is big,its bulky and its heavy…..Are you out already??? No lets take a look then….
With a spec sheet to match a high end smartphone when it comes to cases this has lots to offer.
The packaging screens goodness front and back with specs Ballistic Bezels – Impact Turrs and so on with corning gorilla glass to boot and more its got everything including a lanyard strap for those who still use them,Given that you would want a hard neck for this bad boy….
Cons
Heavy – Big – Cumbersome – You need to screw it together.
Pros
Ports covers – Rubberised internals – Rubberised outer layer and protection all round and protective glass..
My thoughts
Its big so lets put that aside for now,People say size matters this will add bulk to your device but having said that it will protect it that is a given and big in this case might not all be that bad to be fair,The fact its big might be an issue for some but it is comfortable to hold to be fair very comfortable actually but more so for the folks with big hands..
Installation took about a minute which is not bad,we all have become use to just slapping on a cover in less than a second and thats fine,this requires some work and comes in several sections but the process is easy just requiring the provided allen key and 6 screws its simple,nothing to it..
The buttons actually work well too,I was not expecting them to be perfect but they worked a treat,not stiff and they had good travel,this goes for all of them. On placing the device face or back down you will also find you are fully protected either side,especially the front with the raised bezels and corning glass protector built in..

The ports is where issues might arise,The headphone socket and Micro USB port are buried deep but there is room cutout inside though some headphone sockets and cable might be an issue,this to be fair even happens with some regular cases and we wont mention names here.. Another thing is the speaker grille which is entirely covered up and as mentioned in the video there may be some sound loss but it worked fine to be honest and not really any distortion noticed so happy out here in that department if you are one to listen to music on your device via the speaker,On testing phone calls etc it was loud enough not to miss…
On using the device it did take a few mins to become custom to the thickness though but as mentioned before it was a comfortable experience,with silicon surrounding the outer casing all the way around and a pad on the back it was like using a small tablet but you get use to it,The screen sensitivity too was not an issue with swiping either direction,up down or just typing it all went smoothly,again I was not expecting it so all in all a good experience with no loss of functionality..
Overall the case was impressive albeit bigger than what we are use too and given the time to set it up its worth it,it was a comfortable experience but it wont be for everyone,small handed folks especially unless you have used big devices before you will however get comfortable quickly….
The price
Its going to set you back €61.88 reduced from €105.72
