  • GMYLE iPad Pro Sleeve: Review

    GMYLE iPad Pro Sleeve: Review

    iPad Pro is a new device and does not have the sales number of iPhones or the other iPads. For this reason, it has not had much of success with accessory manufacturers. When I got my hands on the iPad Pro, which was one month after the release, I was desperately scouting for accessories. iPad…

    Avantree PowerTower: Review

    I use a lot of devices every day which requires a lot of juice. With all the charging and cables, my table looks chaotic. Every day, I’m constantly charging three different phones, an iPad, my Apple watch and some sort of an accessory like a headphone or my Kindle. I had to constantly plan and…

    Sandisk Wireless Connect: Review

    Sandisk wireless connect is a pen drive with a few tricks up its sleeve. This is a pen dive with its own network. It connects to almost any device, even the ones that don’t have an USB port like an iPhone or the iPad. The sandisk wireless connect creates a wifi hotspot and the devices…

  • GMYLE Marble case for iPhone

    GMYLE Marble case for iPhone

    GMYLE is a company which I noticed very recently. They make accessories for all sorts of devices and one of those is the Marble case for iPhone. I am not a huge fan of cases because I don’t need all that protection. But what I don’t mind is trying one out just for the looks of…

    Asus Zenfone Max: A beast of a battery!

    Over the past year, Asus has made decent phones with good level of specs for the price you pay. But most of the phones do not have anything that is really unique to them except the Zenfone Zoom which has an Optical Zoom. The Zenfone Max is another such device with a really unique feature which WOWed…

  • Bose QC20i: Review

    Bose QC20i: Review

    Bose QC20i is an amazing pair of headphones which I’ve been using for more than a year now. We don’t really review a lot of audio products because we can’t write much about them. Usually, they are meant to be experienced. But, we decided to make an exception with the QC20i. Every time I take…

    Asus Zenfone Zoom: A phone built around a serious camera!

    Asus released a range of smartphones last year, but none of them are even close to the Zenfone Zoom in terms of innovation. Asus took one idea and stuck around with it until they got it right. They announced the Zenfone Zoom at CES 2015 and it took them one full year after that to actually launch the phone.…

    Kingston DataTraveller Mini 3.0 Review

    We don’t use a lot of Pen Drives these days. Most of our data is on the cloud. But there are times when I have to realise that I live in India! You don’t always get access to reliable internet. For this reason, I always carry a couple of pen drives with me where I carry large files…

  • Ledger Wallet: The best cold storage wallet for Bitcoins

    Ledger Wallet: The best cold storage wallet for Bitcoins

    I’ve had my fair amount of curiosity with Bitcoins. I’ve tried to unstandardized the block chain model, mined bitcoins and I’ve even traded bitcoins to make a profit out of it. It was just a fascinating hobby for me. Bitcoin was huge and supposed to be the future and at a point of time, it seemed…

    Peel iPhone Case Review

    I absolutely hate to put a case on my iPhone and this is a review of an iPhone case. Cases add so much bulk to this beautifully crafted device. Cases spoil the user experience in the name of protection. I don’t really drop my phone much, so I’ve never had the use for a case.…

    Swipe ELITE 2 Review

    Swipe ELITE 2 came out a while back as a little brother to the bigger Swipe ELITE. This time it was more focused on being a better budget phone under 5K. For a long time, the cheaper end Android smartphones were terrible because of poor software support and lack of a proper camera which all…

  • Fuel: Micro-Charger Review

    Fuel: Micro-Charger Review

    The first iPhone was introduced in 2007 and everything has been changed since then, excepting for the battery. There has not been any improvement in Battery Technology. Companies have just been making bigger phones with bigger battery. The Processors have also gotten more power hungry. For this reason I got a huge phone, the iPhone…

    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…
