The Avengers are here… to protect your phone.
After seeing the Avengers movie yesterday, I fully believe that the Avengers are the toughest superheroes in the world (and Asgard!). So who else would you trust to keep your phone safe from dents, scratches, and villainy? [we’ve got more cool Avengers themed...
Your iPhone now has a B side
I’m as addicted to Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes as everyone else, but the teenage girl in me still gets all swoony over the thought of a mix tape. Remember what it was like, holding that plastic rectangle of dreams for the first time and decoding every message...
Finally, quarters are useful again
Sadly, a single quarter is kind of useless these days, save for 10 measly minutes on a parking meter. But thanks to technology and smart design, a quarter is now super useful. Even your iPhone is sitting up to take notice. When I saw the Coin 4 iPhone case case I was...
Who you gonna call?
I used to spend hours wearing a path in the carpet and talking on our wall-anchored telephone. And though my tween daughter will be less, er, tethered when she finally gets her own phone, I know she will probably follow in my chatty footsteps. Still, I’ve heard...

I’ve seen my fair share of iPhone docks, and most of them are a little too bulky for my taste and my limited desk space. So as I was doing my weekly scan of Kickstarter (love them), I was so excited to find this new gadget that is exactly what I need. The ODOC...
Can’t commit to just one iPhone case? Tech Candy says, eh. No need.
I’m definitely intrigued by the concept behind Tech Candy iphone and iPad case sets. They’re kind of the best of both worlds–two interchangeable soft cases in different colors, plus a hard shell, plus nice style. Okay, so that’s three worlds....
Holga phone! We’ve got some cool news. (Ha.)
If you’ve just come to accept that your iPhone is now your main camera, at least there are plenty of options now to help make those pictures look a lot better. The Holga iPhone lens is a nifty little device that snaps right to your phone like a case, giving you...
Charge your iPhone with a rainbow
If you live in an iPhone household like I do, then you’re probably up to your ears in those white charging cords. Well now that I’ve discovered these bright alternatives, there will be no question which cord is mine. The brightly colored Mini 2 in 1 iPhone...
Pretty things from Dickens? Please, sir. I want some more!
You might have noticed that last Tuesday’s Google Doodle was a beautiful illustration in honor of Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday. But did you know that Valentine’s Day marks the great author’s celebrated trip to America, where he was feted...
Baby got back.
There’s just no way I could go without a case on my iPhone 4, thanks to four little ones, but I can’t help but be a little jealous every time I see one those brave folks who go cover-free with their pretty, sleek iPhone. Well with these cool iPhone backs,...NEW: The podcast that helps you be a savvier digital parent in under 15 minutes a week
