Samsung HM7000 Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Black The Wirecutter
A great Bluetooth headset
Samsung HM7000 Bluetooth Wireless Headset (Black

Seamus Bellamy from The Wirecutter ( about 1 month ago )

N/A

The HM7000 was released in the fall of 2011. The battery case makes it the Great White Buffalo of bluetooth headsets, so I feel safe in saying there hasn't never been anything like it. Again, by using a set of headphones with a microphone built in, you can avoid the issues of battery life and connectivity... More

PhoneSuit Elite Battery Case for iPhone 4 The Wirecutter
Nothing else does it better than the PhoneSuit Elite
PhoneSuit Elite Battery Case for iPhone 4

Brian Lam from The Wirecutter ( about 1 month ago )

N/A

I'm tempted to consider a universal charge pack, but there's no way I'm going to be walking around town with that dongle hanging off the bottom of my phone, slipping the thing in and out of my pocket while I charge it over a few hours. I'm going to slap on a case, and I'm going to let it charge... More

Speck CandyShell Flip for Iphone 4 BatWing Black The Wirecutter
A compromise between protection and bulk
Speck CandyShell Flip for Iphone 4 BatWing Black

Kyle VanHemert from The Wirecutter ( 6 months ago )

N/A

For most, the CandyShell Flip covers all the bases. Good protection, nice looks, accessory-compatible, and still keeps things slender enough for your pants pocket.

iPhone looks more gorgeous with this on
Speck Products CandyShell Case for iPhone 3G/3GS - Black/Gray

Shiv from TeenCastic ( about 1 year ago )

9/10

 
When you cough up $200-$400 on a product like an iPhone or an iPod Touch you want to make sure that it is safe and can few years. At the same time you don’t want to walk around with an iPod that is covered in ugly and bulky case, right? Honestly, what’s the point? So, for me, the... More

Sony Ericsson Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio PhoneArena
Long battery life, clear and natural voices and good design
Sony Ericsson Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset with FM Radio

PhoneArena Team from PhoneArena ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

At the moment, you can buy the Sony Ericsson MW600 for as little as $55, and, in our opinion, the price is very reasonable for what you get - a long battery life, clear and natural voices plus good design. So, if you are searching for a good and affordable Bluetooth headset, this may very well be a match... More

BlueAnt Q2 Voice-Controlled Pure Conversation Bluetooth Headset (Black, in BlueAnt Retail Packaging PhoneArena
BlueAnt combines stylish looks and superior performance to come up with the Q2
BlueAnt Q2 Voice-Controlled Pure Conversation Bluetooth Headset (Black, in BlueAnt Retail Packaging

PhoneArena Team from PhoneArena ( about 1 year ago )

8/10

Continuing the trend of producing stellar Bluetooth headsets, BlueAnt once again comes out packing some serious heat with the Q2 as it resonates highly in all aspects of its functionality and design. Additionally, we love the depth of features it provides and the stylish looks to match its superior performance.... More

Seidio Innocell 3500 mAh Extended-Life Battery for HTC EVO 4G - Black WebOS Nation
You'll find yourself using more features of the EVO with the hefty amount of power this battery can offer
Seidio Innocell 3500 mAh Extended-Life Battery for HTC EVO 4G - Black

Jesse Potter from WebOS Nation ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

More syncing, longer screen timeout, more gaming, more mobile hotspot, more everything.  Whatever you get for usage now from the stock battery -- expect this monster to double it, and then some.  It really is that good.
It's worth mentioning that despite the added thickness this battery provides,... More

BlueAnt Rugged Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black PhoneArena
It will make you feel like a Terminator without making you sound like one
BlueAnt Rugged Bluetooth Headset - Retail Packaging - Black

PhoneArena Team from PhoneArena ( about 1 year ago )

7/10

Finding itself in the mid-range pricing category, there's no arguing that the BlueAnt T1 offers a lot of features for its $79.99 price point. Additionally, it flaunts plenty of usable features to keep those Terminators connected with one another without the worry of the wind becoming a distracting factor... More

Jabra RHYTHM Corded Stereo Headset CNET
Excellent speech quality though it has a splashy, unbalanced sound when it comes to playing music
Jabra RHYTHM Corded Stereo Headset

Ty Pendlebury from CNET ( about 1 year ago )

7/10

Jabra has made Bluetooth headsets for some time and is now branching out into corded headsets, including the affordable Rhythms. Fit is very good, but we would have liked a little extra length on the attached cord. The sound of the Rhythms is forward — very forward — and seems to be designed... More

Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset Laptop Magazine
Superior comfort and top-notch noise cancellation for a good price
Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth Headset

Dana Wollman from Laptop Magazine ( about 1 year ago )

8/10

The biggest drawback to the Plantronics Voyager Pro is that some people will find its design too serious, or too bulky. That said, it’s one of the most comfortable we’ve tested, and the noise and wind cancellation are both effective. The Voyager Pro is the sturdiest and greatest comfort you... More

Game Gripper - Samsung Epic Game Controller, Genesis Buttons BWOne
A great way to play your games on your mobile phone
Game Gripper - Samsung Epic Game Controller, Genesis Buttons

Bowman from BWOne ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

The Game Gripper makes the games much more playable that it would when playing on just the keyboard. It take some getting used to since its feels different from a standard controller but it makes the games much more fun to play and easier to control. There are some instances where the Game Gripper will... More

Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black TechGeeze
It delivers as promised
Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black

TechGeeze Team from TechGeeze ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

We can’t tell anything bad against the design, however there’s a little problem fitting in large audio jack on the Juice pack headphone cutout. We find each feature well designed and useful including the virtual speaker box, standby/charging switch, LED indicators and the compact sync/charge... More

Plantronics Voyager PRO+ Bluetooth Headset PC Magazine
Aside from being large, it has no major flaws
Plantronics Voyager PRO+ Bluetooth Headset

Jamie Lendino from PC Magazine ( about 1 year ago )

8/10

The Jawbone Icon and the Voyager Pro+ are the two best Bluetooth headsets on the market right now. We could make an easy case for the Voyager Pro+, with its added comfort, slightly more natural sound quality, and longer battery life. If you're not spending a lot of time in noisy rooms or outside, you... More

Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black PC Magazine
Lengthens battery life but adds serious bulk to your handset
Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black

David Pierce from PC Magazine ( about 1 year ago )

8/10

By nearly doubling your iPhone's battery life, the Mophie Juice Pack Air makes your phone a more flexible and reliable companion. If you carry your phone in a purse or a backpack, the size isn't a huge problem, but for pocket-carriers the Juice Pack might be a little hefty.
 

WICO Resistive Touchscreen Stylus Yellow - Regular Price $9.99 New Gadget
You won't regret getting one of these
WICO Resistive Touchscreen Stylus Yellow - Regular Price $9.99

Akash Malik from New Gadget ( about 1 year ago )

9/10

 
I have personally tried the WICO Touchscreen Stylus for 2 days on a resistive touch screen and I was quite happy with the results. It’s a must have product, if you really want a feature-rich, stylish and fashionable stylus for operating a resistive touchscreen go for it and you won’t... More

OtterBox Impact Case for AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 - Black TouchGen
There’s little reason for you to get the Impact when you can get better value with its big brother Defender
OtterBox Impact Case for AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 - Black

Torbjorn Kamblad from TouchGen ( about 1 year ago )

7/10

I am not as impressed with the Impact as I have been with the Defender, and outstanding Commuter for the iPhone 4. If you are looking for rugged protection it is definitely a good choice, but considering that you get even better protection in a slimmer design using the Commuter instead there is littler... More

OtterBox Impact Case for AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 - Black Gear Diary
Large amount of protection for a small price
OtterBox Impact Case for AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4 - Black

Larry Greenberg from Gear Diary ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

The Impact series case rings in at only $19.95 making it, in my opinion, a great deal. With the included screen shield kit it’s a great “throw-away” case. A case that requires a minimal investment but one that’s always there when you need it ready to offer a large amount of shock... More

Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black iLounge
Makes your iPhone look good while providing more energy into it
Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black

Jeremy Horwitz from iLounge ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

Overall, we’d give the edge to Mophie’s Juice Pack Air for iPhone 4 over both of the other battery cases because it does the best job of balancing both extra power and a really nice case design that looks and feels better while providing more energy to the device inside. That said, it comes... More

OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 4 (Black) Mobile Tech Review
Great protection, packed with thoughtful design features and has a built-in stand
OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 4 (Black)

Tom Slayton from Mobile Tech Review ( about 1 year ago )

10/10

The Otterbox Defender case for iPhone 4 provides excellent protection, and is packed with thoughtful design features. From the large cutout for the docking port to the highly versatile and secure holster, this case represents a significant leap forward from the 3GS model (which was already very good).... More

Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black SlashGear
Extra battery and protective case in one
Mophie Juice Pack Plus Case and Rechargeable Battery for iPhone 4 Retail Packaging (Black

Vincent Nguyen from SlashGear ( about 1 year ago )

N/A

For $79.95, we’re happy with that sort of extra runtime – not to mention the added protection of the case. Yes, it adds bulk to the iPhone 4, but the payoff is more obvious than some rugged cases we’ve seen that do nothing more than cushion the smartphone from knocks and scrapes.
