UAG teases new straps for Apple Watch

NEWS – UAG (aka: Urban Armor Gear) is well known for making ruggedized cases for your devices that ensure they survive everything you put them through. Well it appears that UAG is now looking at how they might apply their brand to accessories for Apple Watch as you might have guessed from the above photo.

This care package arrived at my doorstep last week sporting two different straps.

Here’s a closer look. The leather strap is a soft leather in a warm cocoa color with some internal padding and beefed up hardware that has that survivalist vibe. The snap in the second strap keeper and the debossed UAG logos are nice touches.

The nylon strap is a grey camo pattern with bolder sewn-in labels, sturdy lugs the same width as the watch itself and a big pivot link for easily securing your watch with the velcro strap.

There’s no mention of these mysterious straps on UAG’s site yet, so if you’re interested and want to find out more, hit the site up regularly or let us know in the comments and we’ll pass it along. – Cheers!

Moshi VersaCover Case with Folding Cover for iPad Pro/Air review

REVIEW – My household is home to several tablets and cell phones. We use them so much that I am always looking for a case that incorporates functionality with style and versatility. I just got the opportunity to test and review the Moshi VersaCover Case with Folding Cover for iPad Pro/Air. Here is my summary.

What is it?

The Moshi VersaCover Case with Folding Cover for iPad Pro/Air is an iPad case that utilizes a unique folding cover that allows you to display your iPad at angles optimized for typing, reading, and browsing the web. It has a soft microfiber cover with a shock-absorbing frame bonded to a shatter-proof hard-shell case to protect the back of your device. The case also has a built-in magnet that supports the iPad auto-wake/sleep feature. It is available in two colors.

What’s in the box

1 x Moshi VersaCover Case with Folding Cover for iPad Pro/Air
1 x Product Box with printed instructions

Design and features

This case comes with a microfiber cover and a clear see-through back that holds the iPad. The back has all of the necessary cutouts for the camera, etc.

The microfiber cover magnetically closes around the back of the back cover to provide for a secure enclosure. There is enough space between the closing flap and the tablet to hold the Apple pencil.

The cover folds and clasps together magnetically to form a stand for the tablet to be used in multiple positions.

What I like

The quality
The design that includes a place for the Apple pencil

What can be improved

Stability

Final thoughts

There are many types of cases for mobile devices including cases for tablets. The cases are designed for various types of use and purpose. This case provides decent protection and for someone who uses their tablet in their hands and occasionally on a flat surface, this case may work. For a “heavy” user like myself that uses a tablet on various surfaces and does a lot of typing, this case does not work. In addition, in a market that is flooded with cases are various price points and with lots of versatility, the cost for this case may not match the function and need for many.

Price: $49.95 – $79.95

Jollylook is an instant camera that looks vintage and is made of cardboard

NEWS – Camera and photography buffs will find the Jollylook Mini Camera interesting if only for the way it looks and what it’s made of. It looks like an old-timey box camera from decades gone by, but it’s made of cardboard and it can be used with Fuji Instax mini film.

Just load in the film cassette, open the lid, pull out the bellows, to set the focal length, set the aperture, and snap the pic. Then you use the crank to eject the photo which will “develop” in front of your eyes. Check out this quick video which shows the whole process.

Looks fun right? You can buy one for $69 from jollylook.photo where you can also find accessories for the camera like a strap, filters, tripod attachment plate, and more.
