Macally Adjustable Cupholder Mount – Review

Stuff has a way of piling up. The passenger seat in my small car has become an extension of my disheveled desk. While driving I sometimes blindly grope through the cash register receipts, magazines, grocery lists and unopened mail in search of my iPhone. I know its there but I really dont want to take my eyes off the road to excavate the mess that covers it. Thats why I now regard Macallys Adjustable Cupholder Mount for Smart Phones as a life raft.

Otterbox uniVERSE Case System with olloclip lens – Review

The challenge has been to protect my iPhone while being able to add lenses and other accessories. In the past, most accessories could only be attached to a naked iPhone.

This is especially nice in low light or while driving.

LifeActiv Belt Clip with Quickmount – Review

The LifeActiv quickmount and belt clip enables users to carry a smartphone attached to their belt or a backpack. The catch is that the gadget is a two-piece solution. The mount is an adhesive-backed square that must be attached to your phone’s case. It does not adhere to rubber and certain other materials. I had to remove the outer bumper on my OtterBox case and attach the mount to the plastic frame underneath.
