Shield Your iPhone Without Shielding Its Good Looks: Elago Slim Fit 2
The iPhone is a beautifully designed product. It’s thin, lightweight, and a joy to hold in the hand.
With all the effort placed into the fit and finish of this product, it seems almost insulting to then cover it with a plastic or rubber shell to preserve its beauty. A case not only hides the natural elegance of the iPhone, it typically alters the iPhone’s look and feel entirely. However, a drop and a scuff later, I can tell you that I wish I kept a case on from the start.

One look at many of the To-Do list apps in the iOS App store, and one can see that many developers are keenly aware of this.

Double The Battery Life Of Your iPhone 5: Mophie Juice Pack Air
Battery runtime on mobile phones isn’t what it used to be. I used to charge my cellphone and expect it to run for days before my next charge. But let’s face it, mobile phones aren’t just phones anymore.

If you’re like me, you’ve come to this realization long ago and use your iPhone as you would your laptop. And, because it does practically everything that a laptop can do, minus the bulk and weight, it’s probably become your only mobile computing device.
However, this level of performance also draws power too, giving me the same mediocre battery life I would get from my laptop. If you’re looking for a way to keep your iPhone 5 running all day, while leaving all the charging accessories at home, I’ve found an integrated battery case to be the best solution.

Turn Your iPhone Into A Fantastic GPS Navigator: Waze
For people like myself who have a horrible sense of direction, or simply hate to ask for directions, driving to a desired location has never been easier. GPS navigation has, for the most part, taken the planning and guess work out of finding a route to where I need to go. However, one area of turn-by-turn direction that In-Dash and Mountable GPS systems continue to fumble with, is building routes around the unpredictability of traffic and conditions on the road.
If you’re buying a car or just shopping for a Mountable GPS Device, consider the following before you plunk down that small fortune to add that fancy navigational system to your dashboard: There are far better and less expensive solutions available. One in particular I’ve found to be fantastic…
