Review: Kanex iDevice Collapsable Stand
Awhile ago I found a stand I liked for my iPad. Since then, I've switched to an iPad mini and the stand no longer fits the iPad. So I looked for a replacement. When the iPad came out, people were using all kinds of things including binder clips to make stands, so I didn't need anything really complicated. I stumbled upon the Kanex iDevice Collapsable Stand
and for the price, what did I have to lose?

Review: Shoulderpod S1
On each vacation I've taken in the last few years, I've taken a compact digital camera along with my iPhone. However, with each iPhone revision, the camera gets so much better that I reconsider my choice to take a camera. The camera has a few features that the iPhone doesn't have, but the differences are so minor.

Review: Twelve South HiRise Deluxe iPhone Stand
One of themes in my backings on Kickstarter was the search for a stand for my iPhone. Unfortunately none of the products I backed were decent quality and a waste. I've read good things about the Twelve South HiRise Deluxe
stands and decided to splurge (they're a bit more expensive than other stands). I was skeptical when I ordered it as the cable wasn't integrated in the stand and required me to supply my own; this didn't seem like a great design, but I was willing to give it a shot.

Review: Anker 5-Port USB Charger
These days just about everything is powered by USB, and I never seem to have enough ports to charge the items. If I used individual chargers, I'd have a bunch of chargers on power strips and when I travel, I'd have a bunch of pieces to bring. So, when I started reading about multiple port chargers that would handle iPhones as well as the increased power required for iPads, I was quite intrigued. After further research, some chargers required me to plug iPads into certain ports and other devices into the other ports. This is cumbersome and when I saw the Anker® 40W 5-Port USB Charger
where it would intelligently figure out what output is required for each port, I jumped at this.
