Official Google Pixel 10a case review (fog)

The Google Pixel 10a is the lates a series device from Google and as I always say and do is case up I do this with all phones and as a Pixel device is in my hand all year round the firs tthing to do is get a case this is the official case and we have others coming so watch out for those reviews soon and of course the Pixel 10a itself which is almost done with a full hands on review.

This case is simple and to the point it covers all corners leaves access to ports and speakers and gives you additonal grip, there is a lip on the front which also allows for screen protection so it can be placed face down and of course rear down since the little edge is now gone from the camera area.

The buttons are tactile and work well making the case experience overall better to have on than off and yes many like the naked feel of their phone but it is better to be safe than sorry no matter the price of the phone.

There is no Magnet in the case so keep that in mind but it still charges wirelessly which is fine but for putting if you are a house full of MagSafe accessories like phone stands and the likes you might want to get another one.

Drop-tested for hundreds of hours. Designed to match the shape and colour of your Google Pixel 10a and keep your phone protected and beautiful.

With hundreds of hours of drop-testing, the Google Pixel 10a Case is proven to defend against everyday ‘oh no’ moments. And its stain-resistant silicone stands the test of time.

Made specifically for Google Pixel 10a, this ultra-smooth case fits perfectly with the camera design. Match it precisely to the colour of your phone, or mix things up for a fresh look.

The case is designed together with the phone for seamless charging, clear audio and uninterrupted calls. And it’s made with at least 36% recycled plastic.

Paleblue AA and AAA USB-C rechargeable batteries review

Lets all be honest batteries are a pain at time especially when they just die with no warnings and so on and then when you go to use something and they are already dead, yep we have been all there and with Christmas coming up they go up in price and often hard to find and parents will go through any lenghts to ge them for their kids for Christmas morning.

OK we know we can buy rechargable kits off the net for for years and they in general do not last long and like any other bsttery they go missing or someone nicks one from your remote to use elsewhere.

With the new offering from Paleblue you get a nice little kit with a case ans cable and 4 batteries in one pack and this enables you to keep them all in one collection which is a neat idea in my opinion.

Paleblue wants to end the endless daily waste of batteries and this idea will work there is millions disposed of daily which is not good for the environment and these batteries ar here to end this waste and save you money which is a win win for all.

Each pack comes with a lead USB-A to 4 USB-C cables that slot into the top side of the battery the battery also has and indicator light on it to let you know what state it is in..I would suggest also offering a USB-C to USB-C lead going forward.

These batteries are said to replace a 1000 regular batteries now obviosuly I cant tell how long they last right now in this short space of time but will gladly update this post in 6 months or so and see how they fair out but they appear to last as long as regular batteries.

For now they worked on all devices I tested them out on and that is what people want to hear but the longevitiy factor is again something to come back on, as is now I can be sure I will have batteries on the fly ready to go at all times which is great for what I mentioned at the start and with all the downtime over the Christmas I have can certainly give them more run for their money.

Do take note they do get hot but this is to be expected when charging them up. Overall it is a great idea and something that should take off for many to invest in the lates technology out there and playing their part in recylcling.

QDOS’ commitment to sustainability continues with the launch of the new SnapStand, a 3-in-1 portable charger that boasts 100% recycled zinc alloy housing and 60% recycled materials.

What’s more, its high recycled content, coupled with 15W Qi wireless output, will make it the best combined offering of its kind on the market.

The three charge points on the cool, space grey product can simultaneously charge an iPhone, Apple Watch and Air Pods.

SnapStand charges an iPhone 15 Pro Max to 100% in just 3 hours and 30 minutes. Apple Watches are charged with 2.5W Qi wireless output, fully charging the Apple Watch S9 in 3 hours, and AirPods are charged with 5W Qi wireless output.

This charging powerhouse with sleek, easily portable, foldable design, offers a product that simplifies charging, is highly versatile, eco-conscious and is perfect for the office or on the go.

It also aligns with MagSafe and Qi compatible devices and the adaptable design allows for optimal viewing of iPhones for videos, calls or browsing, as well as activating iOS 17 nightstand mode when rotated at 90 degrees.

As with all QDOS products, the packaging is 100% recycled and recyclable and the SnapStand comes with a USB-C cable and user guide.
