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.

Victor Wallet by Waterfield Designs – Review

The first time I laid eyes on the Victor Wallet, I thought, there is no way this thing is going to work for a packrat like me.

Naturally, over the years, my needs expanded to fill the space available.
