The minute I slipped the SurfacePad from our innovative friends at the small company Twelve South onto my iPhone 6, it practically winked at me. All of sudden my trusty phone was not only smart, but now it was fancy, too. Well, fancier .…

Looking into headphones for kids can be intimidating at first. I mean I know how crappy so many sets made for adults are, so I am always skeptical of dedicated kids' headphones that I can confidently give my daughter for solo listening. …

Whichever case you're currently using to cover your smart phone--even one you bought yesterday--well, I think you might just need a new one. (Sorry about that.) Because I just found Getincased , a premium custom case and accessories comp…

I've logged thousands of miles running and cycling, which is not only a good way to counteract my love for carbs, but also to evaluate how I can comfortably carry all the stuff I need while I'm out. I'm talking about my phone, my keys, m…
