Posted in: Today's Chili

otterbox-htc-one-m8So, you already have the intention of picking up the all new HTC One (M8) flagship smartphone from your mobile carrier (assuming that they offer it, of course). What is the next step after getting the handset? Why, it would make perfect sense if you decide to offer your spanking new smartphone a certain amount of protection. If that were to be the case, then it would be prudent of you to settle for something from a company who has had plenty of experience in this particular area before, which would be OtterBox. OtterBox has just announced their Defender Series as well as Commuter Series of protective cases for the HTC One (M8).

This does not come across as a surprise at all, since OtterBox happens to be a partner in the “Made for HTC devices” global licensing program. As for the OtterBox Symmetry Series, this happens to be a sleek, one-piece case which will be able to balance trusted OtterBox protection alongside fashion-forward styling in a range of colors and graphics, not to mention Clearly Protected screen and device protectors that will be made available in due time.

The Defender Series for HTC One (M8) will be able to deliver a rugged, triple-layer protection which guards against drops, shock, dust and scratches. There is a built-in screen protector, polycarbonate shell and synthetic rubber outer layer that works well together to help safeguard HTC’s flagship device even though it happens to be in the most demanding of environments, all without cramping its style or any of its features.

As for the Commuter Series for HTC One (M8), it will merge a durable inner synthetic rubber layer with a thin polycarbonate outer shell and self-adhesive screen protector. This synthetic rubber is able to absorb bumps and shocks as the outer hard shell provides solid impact protection, where it slides easily in and out of a pocket or purse.

Clearly Protected happens to be a premium line of custom-cut screen protectors and device wraps which will offer additional protection against scratches and scuffs. Their dry application process and bubble-free technology ought to make the installation process a no brainer, and yet is capable of withstanding heavy daily use.

Bike2Power Bravo announced, your iPhone will be safer than ever before

Posted in: Today's Chili

bike2powerFor the average iPhone owner, there seems to be one single accessory that they truly need to get right from the get go, which is a case of some sort. Well, these cases or sleeves tend to be more stylish than anything else, but do they offer a better level of protection, or at least up to the level expected by the iPhone owner? Perhaps it is time you took a look at other models, such as the Bike2Power’s Bravo that has been described to be a fully waterproof and shockproof aluminum case for the iPhone 5. Not only does your iPhone 5 receive the relevant amount of protection, it also has more flair and style to deliver protection against the likes of water, dust, dirt, mud, snow and impact all the time.

No longer do you need to keep the iPhone’s sleek look and feel hidden behind cheap plastic cases or to fall back on old-style aluminum bumpers that are basically useless against water. The Bravo Case will be able to go swimming with you literally, although there really isn’t any reason to do so, as it is waterproof down to 6 feet, with the ability to be able to withstand the impact of a free fall from over six feet on a hard concrete floor – even at multiple angles. Despite such capability, it measures a mere 5.54″ x 2.85″ x 0.49″, clearly making it is one of the slimmest waterproof iPhone 5 cases that are available in the market.

You will not find yourself using a gimped iPhone 5 with the Bravo case, since in spite of the heavy protection offered, the entire slew of features found on the iPhone 5 remain accessible. What makes the Bravo case different from other waterproof phone cases? It will have the screen protector adhered onto the handset itself, which means the chances of having air bubbles trapped between the screen protector and the touchscreen display will be minimized. The screen protector itself will be pressed against an O-ring on the front cover so that it offers enough rigidity to seal the case against water. The asking price for the Bravo case is $99.95 a pop, as it comes in silver and black anodized aluminum.

GoCuff smartphone fitness case

Posted in: Today's Chili

gocuffWhen it comes to cases for your smartphone, you know for sure that these are dime a dozen out there in the market. The thing is, how do you get a smartphone case that stands out from the rest of the crowd? The GoCuff could very well fit the bill perfectly – it is the first iPhone and Android fitness case of its kind that offers you complete and unhindered access to your phone with but a simple glance or touch. In a nutshell, the GoCuff is the new and improved sport cuff that will empower you to quickly and easily engage with your smartphone without missing a beat. It will be different from all of the other traditional armbands that you would come across, where placement at your wrist and its touch-sensitive screen would pave the way for a more natural method of accessing it when using fitness apps, GPS navigation, answering a call or even checking out the most recent text message.

Touted to be anatomically and ergonomically engineered for majority of us humans out there, it would not restrict your movement at all, since it allows for a full range of motion at the wrist, ranging from running all the way to pushups. Apart from that, it will also let you access your phone’s capability and data regardless of the activity that you are involved in via a PVC touch-sensitive screen. It does not matter if you are jiving with the iPhone, a handset from Samsung or HTC – they will all play nice with the GoCuff.

Should it actually gain enough financial backing from the masses, it will arrive in a trio of sizes – namely small, medium and large. Not only that, it will play nice with Strava, MapMyFitness and Nike+, while you can preview GoPro video and photo instantly using the appropriate app. The GoCuff will also be able to track elevation gain and GPS while you ski or snowboard, while doing away with the need for supplemental GPS on a motorcycle to boot. Should its Kickstarter goal be met, the production timeline for overseas markets would occur sometime in mid-Sept to mid-Oct 2013, and Kickstarter backers would ideally be able to receive their respective GoCuffs in early November.

TaskOne iPhone case

Posted in: Today's Chili

Protecting your spanking new iPhone is definitely high on the agenda of many folk, even more so if this is the first smartphone that they have ever owned. Well, there are tons of iPhone cases out there to choose from, and the sheer number of it all can be very overwhelming, especially for the most meticulous folks out there who love to do research on all of the upcoming devices and accessories that they intend to purchase. The TaskOne iPhone case that you see here will be very different from all the other cases out there in the market as it does far more than just deliver an adequate amount of protection for your iPhone which you will find out right after the jump.

The TaskOne iPhone case will definitely add a new dimension of multitasking when it comes to smartphone use, and we are not referring to the virtual world, but rather, the physical world. In fact, the TaskOne iPhone case will offer Apple’s smartphone the functionality of an old-school Swiss Army pocket knife, where it merges the functionality of cutting edge technology as well as retro-inspired design.

Tipping the scales at 3.1 ounces (89 grams), the TaskOne from TaskLab is not too different from the ReadyCase which was given previous coverage, although this time around, it offers even more implements. This innovative case is capable of rivaling an actual multi-tool when it comes to the number of tools in a single device – as it carries 16 individual tools hidden within.

With a 2.5-inch (6.4-cm) knife that will come with both serrated and fine edges, the opposite side will sport a 1.8-inch (4.6-cm) wood saw. Apart from that, half a dozen metric Allen wrenches, small and large flathead screwdrivers, medium Phillips screwdriver, and pliers with an integrated multi-size wrench will be there to handle all torque-related tasks that you face. To complete the rout, there are also wire cutters, a wire stripper, a ruler and spoke wrenches, in addition to a bottle opener and a kickstand.

You can place a pre-order for the TaskOne which ships this April for$90 a pop, where it will play nice with the iPhone 4, 4S and 5.

Dual-SIM iPhone Case

Posted in: Today's Chili

If you want to jive with a dual SIM phone and yet do not want to take a pick from the ugly designs out there from Samsung in particular, perhaps it is time to use your iPhone. Wait a minute here, you say, the iPhone does not come with a dual SIM carriage, so what on earth are you rambling about? Ah, this is where the cue for the £29.99 Dual-SIM iPhone Case comes in, where this particular iPhone case is special enough that it allows you to switch between either one of two SIM cards at the touch of a button.

Even better news is this – you are not required to install additional software on your iPhone in order to wield dual SIM cards. All you need to do is insert your SIM cards into the case, followed by clipping the case onto the iPhone 4/4S. This is a particularly brilliant design that lets you alternate between them using a mere switch flick. At least you need not tote around a couple of handsets, and you can choose to keep one number for work while the other is meant for leisure, hence allowing you to enjoy a work-free evening once the clock hits 5pm with a change of SIM cards.

Seidio OBEX case for the Galaxy S3

Posted in: Today's Chili

So you have decided to get yourself a spanking new smartphone, and have made up your mind to roll with Samsung and their Galaxy S3 this time around after being stuck on Apple’s ecosystem for a fair number of years already. Well, to make sure that you are able to eke out the most from the Samsung Galaxy S3, accessorizing it might be a good idea – and getting a decent protective case for the Galaxy S3 makes perfect sense. The Seidio OBEX case for the Galaxy S3 does seem to be a pretty decent, although some say that it is rather high end, case for the handset. The thing is, the Seidio OBEX case was specially designed to be far tougher than your average phone case, so it makes perfect sense to give a premium handset the best protection you can possibly afford.

The Seidio OBEX case has started to ship, where it is said to deliver the “ultimate protection” against unforeseen circumstances such as drops from butterfingers like me, as well as external elements like water snow, mud, dust and sand. There must be a reason why this puppy was named OBEX, where it is actually Latin for “Barrier” – how fitting, considering it does its best to ensure the safety of your spanking new Galaxy S3.

David Chang, CEO of Seidio, said, “We’ve [Seidio] spent months carefully designing the OBEX, and putting it through a series of rigorous tests. Combining the finest materials, advanced protection technology, and a meticulous design- we are confident that the OBEX will completely safeguard the Galaxy S III anytime, anywhere.”

The Seidio OBEX is said to be waterproof, where it not only meets but exceeds the IP68 rating, literally allowing you to immerse the Samsung Galaxy S3 in water up to 2 meters deep for half an hour, without having your flagship device short circuiting or experiencing anything untoward. After all, water and electronics have never been the best of friends. The waterproof membranes are said to guarantee external matter will be unable to penetrate the phone’s speakers or microphone, affecting sound quality.

The asking price for the Seidio OBEX case for the Galaxy S3 is $79.95 – rather pricey, but at least it is cheaper than buying a new phone when you accidentally let your Galaxy S3 sleep with the fishes.
