A flip-style case will protect all the parts of your expensive smartphone—from the housing to the display—but at the cost of making you a little slower on the draw when it comes to answering a call. So to solve this ‘problem’ Moshi has created the SenseCover case which features a touch-sensitive strip on the outside letting you swipe to answer a call without having to open its cover.

Though Apple did this time around create a set of their own home-made cases for the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, accessory makers like Moshi wouldn’t be deterred. While the vast majority of cases made for the iPhone 5 already fit the iPhone 5S as they’ve got essentially the same physical features where it counts […]

When it comes to your brand new notebook, just how far would you go to ensure that it looks and remains in pristine condition as far and as much as possible? Some of us would do things like purchase a protective sleeve for it, while others would go the extra mile and have one of those keyboard protectors, to make sure that the keyboard of the notebook itself will not be left “naked” to the threats of dust settling in between the keys, where that will definitely reduce the amount of performance you can enjoy from your notebook in due time. Well, here would be a solution for paranoid androids out there – a second generation of Moshi’s protective Codex case for the MacBook Air as well as Retina MacBook Pro.
This new version will boast of an aerodynamic profile alongside stylish new design details, and the Codex MacBook case plays nice with all models of Apple’s MacBook Air and Retina MacBook Pro laptops. Codex can be described as a modern, lightweight carrying case that has been specially tailored for the MacBook family, delivering not only protection but insulation as well from the daily wear and tear, while making sure you look good even as you work.
On the outside, the Moshi Codex will be made out of a kind of high-resilience polymeric hybrid material which delivers a sleek, brushed metal-like appearance. These next generation Codex cases have also been updated where they will include an attractive binding to deliver additional durability and style. Not only that, the Codex for MacBook Air also comes with a newly curved, aerodynamic aesthetic, making sure that the main reason you purchased your MacBook Air – for it to remain slim, will also be recognizable after slipping the Codex on. The Codex will be available in both Steel Black and Brushed Titanium for the 13” MacBook Air and 13” Retina MacBook Pro for $70 a pop, while it comes in Steel Black for the 11” MacBook Air at $65, with the 15” Retina MacBook Pro version going for $75.

Fans of the JRR Tolkien novel series Lord of the Rings will remember the mystical metal known as Mithril, rare and precious as the finest diamonds, as strong as the hills themselves. Here in the earbuds known as Mythro from the folks at Moshi, the excellence in the name is called upon to present a pair of sound blasters that are surrounded by a durable metal casing, bring on high-quality sound, and don’t cost a mint doing so. Have a peek at what the makers of fine accessories have conjured up!
With the Mythro you’ve got a collection of color choices at your hands including gunmetal gray, jet silver, tyrian purple, satin gold, rose pink, and burgundy red. You’ll be picking these little monsters up for a cool $29 USD, which should throw up a red flag for you quality seekers out there – but no worries! These buds are for you!
– DR8 Neodymium drivers (15Hz-20kHz / -10dB@1kHz) in an anodized aluminum casing.
– Integrated microphone with universal button control.
– Hybrid injection silicone earbuds in three sizes for superior noise isolation and comfort.
– A convenient Velcro HandyStrap cable manager.
The strap you get with the buds wrap around the cord real hand-like, keeping everything in order for transport.

With the unique “Burn In Tool” app available for free from the iTunes App Store you’ll have a curated series of sounds played from your iPhone through your new set of earbuds that’ll break in or “burn in” the phones for a more satisfying experience from the start.
By playing back a curated list of tones/frequencies, the Moshi Audio Burn-In Tool allows the headphone diaphragms to relax and reach their optimal level of sonic performance. Simply install the burn-in tool on any iOS device and select the headphone and desired burn-in period. The burn-in tool is customized for all Moshi Audio headphones, but also includes support for any third-party audio headsets as well.

Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we’re using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment.
Spring may have sprung two weeks ago, but believe us, it’s still winter somewhere. (Ed note: I’m typing this from underneath an NVIDIA Snuggie — Dana.) In fact, Darren’s had a reason to test out some touchscreen-friendly gloves, even in his southerly state of North Carolina. Up north, our own Jon Fingas has been playing with the Lumia 620 on Canada’s Telus networks. No complaints from him about the 40-degree temps, though.

Are you in the market for a new keyboard for your Mac computer? If you are, Moshi has unveiled the Luna Backlit Mac keyboard, although with it being priced at $100, it does put it out of the range for consumers who are simply looking for an alternative to Apple’s own brand of Mac keyboards. However if the design above is striking already and you wouldn’t mind getting your hands on it, here’s some of the specifications of the accessory. The keyboard will feature Mac-friendly media keys, a numerical keypad and will come with scissor-switched chicklet keys, somewhat similar to Apple’s default Mac keyboard. If you’re looking for something low-profile and somewhat “quiet” in terms of typing, then this will do the job. The Moshi Luna keyboard will plug to your Mac via USB, although it should be noted that it does not offer additional USB ports which seems commonplace for wired keyboards, so that should be taken into consideration. More information about the Moshi Luna Mac keyboard can be found on Moshi’s website.

You’ll find no lack of highly fashionable accessories for your Apple devices in the archives and active market at Moshi, their newest offering for the iPhone 5 (and the iPad mini) being no set of exceptions. With the iGlaze Kameleon for the iPhone 5 (with models for the iPhone 4 and 4S also being offered up for the masses) you’ll be both well protected and ready for stand-up action, with a fabulous form-fitting casing surrounding the device with a hard metal kick-out stand ready at the back for portrait or landscape sitting action.
The iGlaze Kameleon looks and feels extremely similar to the basic iGlaze collection with its cut-out circle set for a full Apple logo peek-a-boo. You’ve also got full access to each of your ports, switches, and your camera and flash. Best of all (and required for a people such as we), this case does not place any casing around the headphone jack – or at least the closest casing isn’t going to interfere with our headphone plugs. That’s vital for the on-the-go headphone wearer and/or hard-wired car audio lover.
Understated fashion is what we’re talking about here, and the kickstand sticks with the theme. You’ve got the Moshi name/logo sitting near the end of the tail while the bulk of the stand is a perfectly simple flat aluminum, just ever-so-slightly darker than the rim of your iPhone 5. There’s also a protective “skin” included in the package that adheres to your iPhone 5′s back before you add your iGlaze Kemeleon case – the case attaches on its own, while the skin helps protect the logo of your iPhone through the revealed logo hole. Note here that we’ve got the black model while there’s a white color combination available from Moshi now as well.
Another case we’ve just gotten our first chance to take a peek at is made for the iPad mini and called “concerti”. This case is made of a hybrid silicone / microfiber inner casing for shock and scratch protection, and includes magnets for Smart Cover functionality. Close it up like a book and your iPad mini falls asleep, pull the elastic band around from the back to keep the whole case closed. This case also stands up and several angels and allows you full access to your back-facing camera, even when the case is folded backward.
The concerti for iPad mini case will run you $45.00 USD and is available right this minute from Moshi. The iGlaze Kameleon is also available now from Moshi and will cost you a cool $49.95. Interestingly enough, you can also use Moshi’s own “Xen Credits” for these purchases, these being points you earn from Moshi for special events and through your friends adding your name to their purchases upon payment – wild stuff!

Moshi Mythro Earbuds
Posted in: Today's Chili
[CES 2013] Moshi has just announced their latest set of earbuds that will hopefully live up to its namesake – the Moshi Mythro, which would make it the seventh addition to its Moshi Audio range of premium earphones. Each Moshi Mythro pair will come in a stylish, canal-fit earphone that boasts of an integrated microphone which was specially designed for seamless use with the iPhone, iPod touch and other compatible mobile devices. With the name being inspired by ‘Mithril’, a rare kind of metal that was mentioned in JRR Tolkien’s novels, Mythro was developed to target the aesthetically-discerning music lover who want a high-quality headset, delivering superior audio and great bass along the way to maintain Moshi’s standards, and doing so without burning a dragon-sized hole in your pocket.
The Moshi Mythro boasts of a durable metal casing which remained ultra light in weight, thanks to the clever use of anodized aluminum, making it capable of delivering a crisper sound compared to earphones with generic plastic housing. Not only that, Moshi claims that the Mythro produces a meaningful level of bass without having to sound ‘muddy’, a common issue that plagues other entry-level earbuds. Each $29 Mythro will come with three sizes of hybrid injection silicone earbuds for superior noise isolation and comfort, where you can choose from gunmetal gray, jet silver, tyrian purple, satin gold, rose pink, and burgundy red colors as it hits the market this February.

[CES 2013] Just like with leather shoes, some people swear by the fact that high-quality headphones perform better once they’ve been used over time. I personally don’t feel the difference (I’m no audiophile) but if you do and you’re looking for a quick way to “season” your brand new headphones, you’re in luck. The folks over at Moshi Audio have released Burn-In Tool, an app which does just that.
All you have to do is install the app onto your iOS device, plug in your headphones, run the app, and leave it to burn in. The Burn-In Tool plays a curated list of tones and frequencies which allow the headphone diaphragms to “relax and reach their optimal level of sonic performance.” If you’re interested in giving it a shot, just head over to the App Store and download it (it’s free).
