Boss Tech Knit Tech Gloves Review

Boss Tech Knit Tech Gloves Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

If you are looking for quality, inexpensive gloves that will keep your hands warm while still allowing you to use the touch screen on your smartphone or tablet, then the Boss Tech Knit Tech Gloves are definitely the way to go.  The gloves are warm, comfortable, and work surprisingly well considering their low price tag.

Functionality

I was actually thoroughly impressed by these gloves.  At first glance they don’t look like they would work very well on a touchscreen, as they just look like normal knit gloves.  However, I found the gloves to be very responsive when used on both my tablet and my smartphone.

The index finger, middle finger, and thumb each have a special tip that works with touch screens.  Unlike other touch screen gloves, the tips on the Boss Tech gloves do not have any metal tips or threads that can irritate your skin or scratch your touchscreen.  The gloves simply have a special material at the end that allows the natural conductivity of your skin to interface with your touchscreen without exposing your fingers to the cold.

As mentioned before, responsiveness is actually very high using the gloves.  I was able to do all of the normal swipe functions, multi-finger zoom functions, and keyboard typing functions without any problems while wearing the gloves.

I was especially impressed while typing, as the gloves worked just fine even on my iPhone 4′s small keyboard.

Style

The Boss Tech Knit Gloves come in a variety of different colors and styles.  Whether shopping for a teenage daughter or for a professional adult, you are sure to find a pattern that meets your unique style requirements.   I personally prefer black gloves for their versatility.  I can wear them while commuting to work or while playing with my kids in the snow.

Comfort

The Boss Tech Knit Gloves are also very comfortable.  They feature a fleece lining that feels very soft on the inside and that does a great job keeping the cold out while at the same time letting your hands breathe to prevent sweating.

Conclusion

In all, I am very impressed with the Boss Tech Knit Tech Gloves.  For less than $10 you get a pair of warm gloves that work seamlessly with the touchscreen on your mobile device.  Finally you can stay productive during the winter without freezing your fingers or breaking the bank.

Universal Tablet Headrest Mount Review

Universal Tablet Headrest Mount Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

If you’ve ever taken a long road trip with kids, you know how long every unoccupied hour can be.  Fortunately, tablets and smartphones have made these trips easier by providing entertainment during long rides.

However, big tablets are often hard for children under 5 to handle.  To solve this problem, Naztech has released their universal Tablet Headrest Mount.  Simply clip the mount to the headrest on the back of the front seat, and kids can watch movies and TV shows on your iPad or other device from the back seat.

Pro’s

The Naztech Universal Headrest Mount has a lot of cool features.  First, the soft rubberized contact points on the case make sure that your tablet stays securely in place without getting scratched.

Headrest Mount

Installment is easy.  Simply place the tablet in the holder and squeeze the four corner holders until they fit sunggly.  Because the headrest holder is universal, it can be used to hold any size tablet from 7-12 inches, regardless of make or manufacturer.

Once installed, the headrest mount is fully adjustable and can be positioned in whatever viewing angle works best for your child.  Small wheels can also be tightened to secure the headset mount in specific positions.

To release the tablet, simply release the lever on the back of the headrest mount.

Con’s

The only downside to the Naztech Universal Tablet Headrest Mount is that it feels a little brittle, and may not last continued usage with frequent installations/uninstallations.

Conclusion

With the durability issue aside, the Naztech universal headrest mount is a great product for keeping your kids entertained during long car rides.  The mount is quick and easy to assemble and then acts as an effective viewing platform for any size tablet in virtually any viewing angle.

HTC One M8 Accessories Review

HTC One M8 Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The highly-anticipated HTC One M8 is a revolutionary new phone.  With upgraded hardware, fast software, and an improved exterior finish, the HTC One M8 is one of the best Android handsets on the market.

However, like most smartphones, the HTC One M8 is vulnerable to shock damage, water, and other potential hazards.  In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the HTC One M8 Accessories available from DiscountCell.com that are designed to power up and protect this stunning new phone.

What Type of HTC One M8 Accessories Should I Get?

DiscountCell.com has over 45 quality cases for the HTC One M8.  However, which case you choose all depends on what you plan to do do with your phone.

For example, if you just plan on using your HTC One M8 indoors and want to protect against scratches and the occasional drop, then the Incipio NGP case is a good option.  The Incipio NGP (Next Generation Polymer) Case is a thin, flexible, silicon-polymer membrane that stretches over the HTC One M8.

However, if you plan on using your HTC One M8 outside, then you may want a little bit more rugged protection.  The Ballistic Tough Jacket Max and the OtterBox Defender both feature dual-layer shock protection and built-in screen protectors.

The first layer of protection is made out of shock absorbing silicon while the second outer layer is made out of a durable, rigid polycarbonate shell.

Charging Options

Also, when shopping for HTC One M8 accessories, don’t forget to invest in a quality charger.  Note I said quality and not expensive.  A good charger should be reliable yet inexpensive, as chargers often get left behind in hotel rooms and rental vehicles.

Discountcell.com has over 50 different charging options available for the HTC One M8, with the least expensive model priced at only $3.95.

Together, the four layers reliably protect an iPad from fall damage up to several feet high.

Pro’s:  Genuine Leather, Professional look,very minimalistic design, secure fit, light weight.
Con’s:  No dust or dirt protection.

iPad Air Belkin MultiTasker Review

The iPad Air Belkin MultiTasker is an excellent accessory for use in the office.  Not only does the case’s all-leather,  slim-fitting design match your corporate style, but the 6 different viewing angles and built-in business card and stylus holders help you stay connected and productive throughout the day.

Protection

The iPad Air Belkin MultiTasker offers basic drop, scratch, and screen protection when closed.  The inside of the case is made out of a very soft velvety material that protects against scratches on the iPad’s screen and body.

Belkin MultiTakster Interior

However, one of the downsides of the iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover is the fact that the case does not offer any screen protection when open.  To address this issue, I recommend pairing the iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover with a good adhesive screen protector.

Also, the iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover does not protect against dust or water damage regardless if the case is open or closed.

Functionality

The iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover includes several features to enhance the functionality of the iPad Air.

First, the iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover has holes and access to all of the various ports, cameras, and buttons on the iPad Air.  To increase convenience even more, the case features two business card pockets.

In addition to working as a portfolio, the iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover doubles as a viewing stand.  Once opened the case can be positioned in six distinct viewing angles.  Two rubber stoppers on the bottom of the tablet cradle ensure that the iPad stays in place while positioned in each angle.

Installation is very easy.  Simply snap the iPad Air into the tablet cradle inside the case and you are ready to go.  To remove the iPad Air, just bend the corners of the case back and the iPad Air will pop out.

Conclusion

The iPad Air Belkin MutliTasker Cover offers a professional look and increased functionality that are great for use in the office. However, if you are looking for more thorough protection to use your tablet outside, I recommend investing in either an OtterBox or LifeProof case.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Case Review

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Case Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter Fast Facts

Manufacturer: OtterBox
Dimensions: 16.5 cm (6 1/2 inch) x 9 cm (3 1/2 inch) x 1.5 cm (5/8 inch)
Price: $39.95 at DiscountCell.com

Pro’s

The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case offers durable protection to the LG Flex without taking away from any of the phone’s features.  The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter features 2 layers of protection.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter

The OtterBox LG Flex Commuter Case features two layers of protection.

First, the LG Flex is protected on all sides by a soft, shock-absorbent silicone layer.  Then, a durable yet flexible hard-plastic case adds additional structural support to the entire phone.

The most striking feature of the Commuter Case is the fact that it can still bend and flex with the LG Flex despite having two protective layers.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter

The OtterBox LG Flex Commuter Case can “flex” along with the phone.

Also, while the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter offers access to all of the various ports, cameras, and buttons of the LG Flex, the case includes special doors and flaps to protect any ports or openings from dust and debris.

LG Flex OtterBox Commuter

The OtterBox Commuter offers full access to all of the LG Flex’s speakers, cameras, buttons, and ports.

Con’s

While the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter does come with an adhesive screen protector, the case is not waterproof.  However, if water manages to get between the case and the phone, the phone can be easily removed before the water causes damage.

Also, the LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case does not come with a belt clip.  However, given the large size of the LG Flex, a belt clip would not be very practical as the phone is too big to carry comfortably on a belt.

Conclusion

The LG Flex OtterBox Commuter case provides quality light-weight, dual layer protection that can “flex” along with the phone.

The only downsides to the case are the fact that it is not waterproof and that it does not come with an included belt clip.

LG Optimus Zone Accessories Review

LG Optimus Zone Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The LG Optimus Zone is an Android-powered prepaid smartphone available from Walmart for $40.  While the phone does not come with the latest hardware or software, you do get a 3.2″ screen, Android 3.2.6, a decent camera, and 4 GB of storage.

At such a low price, it doesn’t make sense to invest in an expensive case.  Really anything more than $20 is too much, because at that point you’ve already paid for 50% of the cost of the phone. If you spend more than $20 on a case, It would almost be cheaper to just purchase a new phone if something were to happen.

The key to maximizing the value of your LG Optimus Zone is to purchase low cost accessories to complement your phone.  The following reviews several low cost LG Optimus Zone accessories to power up and protect your phone without breaking the bank.

Cases

The Lg Optimus Zone is compact yet relatively light weight.  The phone measures 4.04″ tall x 2.42″  wide x 0.47″ thick and only weighs about 3 ounces.

LG Optimus Zone Accessories

3 Low-Cost LG Optimus Zone Pouches

Because of the phone’s low cost and generic dimensions, an inexpensive pouch is a better option than a pricey custom fit case.

The right type of pouch depends on where you will be using your phone.  If you plan on using the LG Enact primarily indoors in an office setting, then we recommend using a leather case that provides a high level of protection while maintaining a professional appearance.

However, if your organization does a lot of field work and you are looking for more thorough protection, we recommend a more durable case like the Naztech Gladiator or the Nite Ize Cargo Clip Case.  Both of these cases are made out of thick, durable nylon canvas and are well suited for outdoor use.

The Naztech Gladiator is especially popular with law enforcement because it is available in 4 different colors and includes a heavy-duty belt clip that is perfect for police patrol belts.

Chargers

Lg Optimus Zone Accessories

Two different charging options with micro-USB cables.

Perhaps the most important LG Optimus Zone accessories that you can buy for your organization are quality chargers.  The LG Optimus Zone is powered by a relatively weak 1540 mAh battery and needs to be recharged frequently.

DiscountCell.com has over 50 different charging options available for the LG Optimus Zone starting at just $3.95.  Low cost per unit is especially important for purchasing officers who frequently have to replace chargers left behind by employees in hotel rooms and rental vehicles.

Conclusion

The LG Optimus Zone accessories reviewed in this article are perfect for use in government agencies and in large organizations because they provide high-quality function at low cost.
