Rhinoshield PlayProof: Review
Recently, we reviewed the RhinoShield CrashGuard bumper case, and you can check it out here. In that review, I’d mentioned that personally I preferred the PlayProof case over the bumper.

iPad Pro: Bigger is better!
Introduction Apple announced a radically new iPad at their September event last year. It seemed dumb at the time, the same way the first iPad looked like a stretched up iPod.

iPhone 6s Plus Review
Three months after Apple announced the S upgrades, I finally decided to make the jump. I got the iPhone 6s Plus. With physical appearances, there’s nothing much that’s new to it. Just the letter ‘S’ printed on its back. But don’t be fooled by its looks. It is definitely a meaningful upgrade. It’s got all sorts…

Strapl: Apple Watch Strap Review
When the Apple Watch came, I made the decision to get the basic one because personally, I felt paying extra for the same features with a premium build quality was just not worth it. So I went with the Apple Watch Sport. It comes with an amazing Silicon strap which blends really well with the…

Apple India, what are you high on?

What to expect from Apple’s October event?
We are just a few days away from Apple’s next event. Apple usually has hidden messages in their invites and they did this time too. It reads “It’s been way too long”. What’s been way too long? We are guessing they are going to update something that has not been updated for a while now.…
