Hasta La Gadget!

This week, Darren Murph, the man of many bags, is at it once again, trying out a charging backpack we got to handle for just a few minutes back at CES. In addition, we’ll give you a peek at Logitech’s suspiciously Surface-like FabricSkin keyboard case. Find it all after the break.

Can’t bring yourself to spend $300-plus on a leather camera bag? Get a $130 one made out of Neoprene, says Darren. (And he should know: he’s tested just about all of them by now.) As for Edgar, he’s not recommending you buy anything, per se; he just wants you to know how much he loves FIFA 13.

Fun fact: IRL was inspired by long-term car reviews — the sort of detailed write-ups you can’t expect after just a week of testing. Appropriately enough, then, we’ve got some impressions of the Chevy Volt from Engadget Spanish editor Jose Andrade, who’s already on his second model. Meanwhile, you’ll also find some thoughts on the BlackBerry Q10 from who else but Canadian editor Jon Fingas.

Like every good sitcom family, we’ve got friendly neighbors who sometimes drop in to say hello. This week, at least, that neighbor is none other than SlashGear Editor-in-chief Vincent Nguyen, who played wingman to Darren Murph as he attempted to use Google Glass to film a first-person test drive in the 2014 Lexus IS. Also after the break, Andy Bowen makes a case for why the 4G iPad mini makes a better hotspot than a run-of-the-mill MiFi device.

For every Engadget editor who’s gotten to test an HTC One (that’d be five of us so far), there are two more waiting to take it for a spin. Well, you can cross Mr. Fingas off the list, at least: he’s been playing with the One on Canada’s Rogers network, snapping photos in the lowest-lit places Ottawa has to offer. James Trew, meanwhile, is excited to finally use Goal Zero’s Sherpa 50 solar charger, mostly because it means England is finally getting some decent weather.
