Introducing the Fridgepad: the magnetic iPad case

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

If you’re anything like me, you like to think of yourself as a bit of a Nigella Lawson or Jamie Oliver when it comes to cooking, and with the use of phones and tablets this has gotten even easier as there’s apps for everything these days.

Our sister site Gearzap have gotten hold of the ultimate iPad accessory that makes using your iPad for recipes that little bit easier: The Fridgepad.

Fridgepad iPad/iPad 2 case

The Woodford Design, Fridgepad is a protective iPad or iPad 2 case, complete with a MegaMagnet on the back, meaning it can be stuck to any magnetic surface including a fridge.  This means your iPad is kept out of the way whilst you’re cooking but is easily accessible to see the next step of the recipe.

Due to its strength, the Fridgepad holds your tablet in place even when your fridge door is opened and closed, making one of the only iPad 2 cases which protects your iPad from bumps and scratches from a height!

Not only great for recipes, the Fridgepad also keeps your iPad out of reach from children and pets, so no longer will you have to put up with messy fingerprints on your tablet – unless they’re your own.  Plus you’ll always remember where your iPad is, making the Fridgepad one of the most innovative and exciting iPad 2 accessories around.

Make your Samsung Galaxy S2 sound as good as it looks

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011

Being the leading Mobile Phone on the market, the Samsung Galaxy S2 needs accessories which show off its full potential:  Samsung’s latest offering, the Samsung Sound Station, does just that.

The Sound Station is the perfect accessory to resolve the main issue smartphones tend to have; the inability to provide room filling noise from the handset.  This issue is solved by the Seine acoustic passive speakers of the Sound Station, which provide high quality sound, which is acoustically accurate.

Samsung Galaxy S2 Sound Station

What’s great about this mobile phone speaker is that it’s a passive amplifier, meaning there’s no need for an external power source; so no wires and an exceptionally tiny footprint.  This also makes the speaker great for use on the go or when socialising.

Doubling up as a convenient desk stand and mobile phone dock, the Sound Station can still be used whilst your handset is in its Samsung Galaxy S2 case, making it one of the most multi-functional accessories available.

Style is another impressive factor of the Sound Station, which is in-keeping with that of the Galaxy S2 itself.  The sound station is small and stylish, with a sleek black finish, making it the perfect accompaniment for the handset.

A Galaxy S2 screen protector would be advised to avoid scratches and finger smudges whilst using the handset when it’s docked.

Great news Angry Birds fans; a few weeks ago we announced that Nokia was releasing Angry Birds hard covers for the E7, N8, C7, X7 and C6.  Now we can tell you that we’ve got a selection of them coming into stock tomorrow!

These covers are exclusive to Nokia phones and there are three different styles to choose from: Red Bird, Black Bird or Pig King; so whether you’re a fan of the Pigs or the Birds there’s a hard cover for you.

Angry Birds Nokia C7 Cover

The Angry Birds selection we have coming in include: covers for the Nokia C7, Nokia C6 and Nokia N8; with covers for the other models due in soon.

Each hard cover, like the Nokia C7 cover, protects the back and sides of your handset from bumps, drops and scratches and is easy to install and remove, thanks to the simple snap on design.

To allow the handset to remain fully functional the Angry Birds Nokia C6 cover features all the relevant cut-outs including one for the camera and charging port.

However the screen is left unprotected so a Nokia C6 screen protector is advised for full protection.

Adapt the Kinect to your original Xbox 360 with the Kinect Adapter

Monday, June 20th, 2011

The Kinect is the ultimate party game for playing with your friends, so there’s nothing worse than realising that your friend’s original Xbox 360 doesn’t have the port to support the Kinect!  Luckily Gaming Zap has the prefect solution to this problem: The Kinect Adapter Power Supply for Original Xbox 360.

Kinect Adapter Power Supply for Original Xbox 360

This Kinect adapter allows you to connect your Kinect to the original Xbox 360, meaning you can play your Kinect on both style Xboxes, something you couldn’t do before as this Kinect adaptor isn’t included in the Kinect Bundle.

Another great feature of the Kinect Adapter is that it doubles up as a secondary, replacement Kinect power supply, meaning there’s no need to panic if you lose or damage your original lead.

Keep the party going, as the Kinect adaptor opens the Kinect up to more players and more possibilities, making it one of the best Kinect accessories around.

Meet the Incipio Smart Feather – the ultimate in smart cover compatible cases

Friday, June 17th, 2011

After the launch of the iPad 2 and the Apple Smart Cover, many people began raising queries about the Smart Cover and its capabilities: it didn’t protect the back, the magnets were weak, the stand function didn’t really work and did it damage the iPad 2?

This led to us sourcing a large number of smart cover compatible cases to help solve these problems, but there was still one issue we hadn’t solved which was raised in this video. – protecting the back whilst keeping the smart cover in place.  Now we have the answer: the Incipio Smart Feather case for iPad 2.

Incipio Smart Feather Smart Cover Compatible Case

The Incipio Smart Feather is one of the only iPad 2 covers which not only protects the back of the tablet, but also locks the smart cover in place, meaning you no longer need to rely on the magnets and your iPad is fully protected.

How it does this, is by the lip of the Incipio cover hooking over the rim of the Smart Cover, which is then locked into place once the Incipio is attached to the back of the iPad.  It could be said that this makes the two covers into a single, more protective one.

In keeping with the iPad’s slim style, the form-fitting Incipio shell is less than 1mm thick and made from polycarbonate with a smooth matt finish, improving its feel.  The iPad 2 cover also features all the relevant cut-outs including one for the camera; making it the perfect companion for any iPad 2 owner.

As with many of the iPad 2 accessories, an iPad 2 screen protector is advised for ultimate protection and to reduce the likelihood of scratches to the screen.
