LifeProof LifeActive QuickMount Adaptor and Product Line

Wish you could move your phone from a car mount to a arm band to a bike mount to a belt clip with a simple twist and click? The LifeProof QuickMount adaptor allows anyone to do this, with an adaptor that is only 3.5mm thin. It’s so thin, if you don’t have it mounted to anything, it’s barely noticeable as you handle your phone. The mount attaches to the back of the case with a very strong adhesive and mounts to all of the products in the QuickMount product line with a strong magnet.  The adaptor can attach to any LifeProof case, as well as many other types of cases. It also works with every brand of phone.

An avid bike rider? It can be very difficult to find a bike mount that holds your phone secure as you pass over bumps and curbs, or rocks and roots on the trail. The LifeActiv Bike + Bar Mount allows the phone, camera, gps, tracker and apps front and center, mounted in either landscape or portrait.

For some, a pocket just doesn’t work for their phone and a belt clip is a necessary accessory. The LifeActiv Belt Clip is a small 2 inch clip that can attach to pants, belts, backpacks, purses – anything you can or want to clip onto. Like all the LifeActiv products, the phone can be mounted horizontal or vertical and can be easily detached with a simple twist.

What’s more important than keeping your hands on the wheel while driving? Nothing. Let the LifeActiv hold your phone and let your voice control it while you’re driving, keeping everyone on the road safe. The Suction Mount ultra secure suction mount will attached to the dashboard or windshield and while your phone will detached with a simple twist, it’ll hold your phone just as securely on the road.

While a bike mount, bar mount, car mount, and belt clip are very useful, what could be more useful than a Multipurpose Quickmount that can be put anywhere, at anytime. Using 3M industrial strength adhesive or included screws, it mounts to almost anything – glass, wood, plastic, or metal. You need a phone somewhere, LifeActiv can put it there.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories Review

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is incredible innovative. The edges of the phone are curved towards the back of the phone, allowing Samsung to add some features that are not included in any other phone. All metal body, cutting edge technology display, the latest Android software with an extremely fast and powerful processor to back it up.

This review will highlight accessories necessary to protect and power the Galaxy S6 Edge, the two top priorities for every cell phone owner. These, and many other accessories, are available at DiscountCell.com.

What Type of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories Should I Get?

There are over 25 quality cases for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge available at DiscountCell.com. The cases range from thin and light protective cases to rugged, folio style cases.

The Body Glove Dimensions Satin Case not only gives the Galaxy S6 Edge a good grip, it also has a pleasing design that adds interest to an already note-worthy phone. This case is thin enough to slip the phone into your pocket, and durable enough to sufficiently protect it from random drops and dirt.

Wallet and folio cases are becoming more popular, as they protect the front and back of the phone and eliminate the need for a wallet when you want to reduce the amount of stuff in your pockets. The Spigen SGP Wallet S Case with Card Holder combines these two types of cases into one stunning design.

Made from synthetic leather, it has a magnetic strap to hold the folio closed, yet opens easily when needed. Fold the front cover back completely to create a stand anywhere. The front cover also holds up to 3 credit cards.

Charging Options

There is a huge range of options for charging your phone and they come in a large price range. Because so many chargers are left behind in cars and hotel rooms, we believe chargers should be affordable as well as reliable and high quality.

A popular option for chargers, both travel and vehicle, are chargers that have an additional USB port. This allows the user to charge more than one device, saving time.

Speck Durafolio Rugged Apple iPad Case in Education

Speck Durafolio Rugged Apple iPad Case in Education appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The Speck Durafolio is the first of the folio cases in our reviews.  The Speck Durafolio for iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini, iPad Mini 2 and iPad Mini 3 is a military grade folio style case ready for the rough and tumble education environment.

Speck Durafolio

Speck Durafolio

 

Speck Durafolio Rugged Case
MSRP – $59.99 (iPad Air and iPad Air 2)
MSRP – $49.95 (iPad Mini 1,2,3)

Protection
The Speck Durafolio was designed for rough environments.  The outer shell is textured to provide grip for slippery hands and protection from grime.  The outer shell is also water resistant providing some protection from spills and moisture.  The case is rated to meet or exceed Military drop specs so a tablet accidentally dropped from a desk or standing student should survive without damage.

Stand
The built in folio stand on the Durafolio is convenient and provides multiple viewing angles.  The folio protective cover doubles as a multi angle stand in both typing and viewing mode.  In viewing mode, the tablet can be adjusted to a broad range of angles limited only by the size of the cover.  The build quality of stand joints is solid and will handle years of use.  In addition, the folio stand has an auto wake/sleep feature built in.  When the folio stand is closed, the tablet is automatically put in sleep mode saving battery life.  When the folio stand is opened the tablet wakes automatically.

Accessory Compatibility
The Speck Durafolio worked flawlessly with all accessories we tested on it.  The case adds a mere .3″ to the size of the tablet allowing it to easily fit into charging carts or stands.  The port opening allows the use of aftermarket and OEM cable connections and wired keyboards.  The opening for the headset connection fit any straight headset connector we tried.  The case fits well into the Belkin Secure Wired Keyboard with built in stand and other similar accessories.

Convenience
Overall, if a folio case is the design of preference, the Durafolio is a great choice.  One advantage top folios offer over other designs is the wake/sleep feature that can have a significant impact on battery life.  The auto sleep feature when the cover is closed keeps the tablet from staying on when not in use.  The only weakness for the Durafolio and the education market is the lack of a clear back for asset tagging.  The case is tough, well built, and current users place repeat orders when adding or updating tablets.  With the access to all ports, the built in stand, screen protection with built in wake/sleep function and compatibility with charging carts, the Durafolio is a great choice for schools interested in a folio style case.

Griffin Survivor Slim Rugged iPad Tablet Case

Griffin Survivor Slim Rugged iPad Tablet Case appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The Griffin Survivor Slim is the latest addition to the Griffin Survivor line.  The original Survivor was very popular as a military grade case and came in a variety of colors.  The thickness of the original Survivor was a negative to some customers and would not fit in many charging carts.  The Survivor slim solves many of these concerns while still providing military grade drop protection.

survivor-slim

 

Griffin Survivor Slim Case for iPad Air and iPad Air 2
MSRP – $79.99

The Griffin Survivor Slim solves many of the education related challenges of the original Survivor with its slim design.

Protection
The Survivor Slim is a full protection case including a built in screen protector.  The case is slim but rated for drops up to 6 feet.  The multi layer case is built with a hard outer shell that protects from hands, books, keys, lunches and anything else a student may have in their hand or backpack.  The inner core provides solid drop protection when the inevitable drop happens.  Overall, the case should provide adequate protection for the tablet.

Stand
The Griffin Survivor Slim has a built in stand that pops out for use and folds back in for storage.  The stand is easy to use and does a good job of holding the tablet in viewing or typing mode.  With the stand being the full width of the case, it provides a solid footing for tablet use.

Accessory Compatibility
The Griffin Survivor fits in most popular charging stands and the port is large enough to work with non-oem cables.  The charging port opening is also large enough to handle most wired keyboard connectors currently on the market.  The case fits well into the Belkin Secure Wired Keyboard with built in stand and other similar accessories.

Convenience
Overall, the Survivor Slim is a great new case from a company that has a lot of experience designing military grade cases.  One issue that may be a positive for schools but a major complaint from many users is the difficulty in removing the case from the tablet.  The most common experience when trying to remove the case is a fear the tablet will be damaged in the process.  This can be an added concern as asset tags connected to the back of a device will require removal of the case for access.

LifeProof fre Rugged Apple iPad Tablet Case – Education Review

LifeProof fre Rugged Apple iPad Tablet Case – Education Review appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

The LifeProof fre rugged Apple iPad tablet case is a great option for education buyers.  Rugged, waterproof and dustproof, the fre iPad case is also student proof making it one of the toughest cases on the market for the education market.

1103-01lp3

LifeProof fre iPad Tablet Case
iPad Mini 1,2,3:  MSRP $99.95, MAP Price – $89.96
iPad Air:  MSRP $109.99, MAP Price – $98.99
iPad Air 2:  Coming Soon

Protection
Featuring the most complete protection of any case on the market, the LifeProof fre case can handle almost anything a student throws at it including drops, spills and outdoor use.  The IP-68 rating and MIL-STD-810 ratings mean the case should survive a drop on a hard surface or into a puddle of water.  The built in screen protection means the screen is scratch proof and protected from the youngest students use of crayons versus a stylus.  With the optional cover stand available for the iPad Air, screen protection is as good as any case on the market.

Stand
The primary weakness for school use is the lack of a stand.  The LifeProof fre does not have any built in stand but does fit well in many aftermarket stands.  The optional cover stand for the iPad Air does solve the stand issue but does add to the cost of an already higher priced case.

Accessory Compatibility
The LifeProof fre cases fit in the most popular charging carts but the port opening only fits Apple OEM charging cables.  Because only Apple OEM charging cables fit, secure wired keyboard connectors do not fit.

Convenience
The LifeProof fre case has a clear back allowing asset tags to be attached to the device versus the case.  The case fits in most charging carts but the small port opening requiring only Apple OEM connectors can be a challenge.

The LifeProof fre case may not be the best case for general student use but is a must for specialty uses.  iPads used for field trips, sporting events, chemistry class, wood shop class, metal class, food class or other environments where moisture, liquids or dust are common can benefit from the use of the LifeProof fre case.

Otterbox UnlimitED Rugged Apple iPad Air Education Case

Otterbox UnlimitED Rugged Apple iPad Air Education Case appeared first on DiscountCell Reviews.

Otterbox, the #1 case manufacturer, designed a case specifically for the education market last year.

Otterbox UnlimitED Case

Otterbox UnlimitED Case 77-41160
MSRP – $69.99
MAP Price – $62.99

With specifications that meet the most common education requirements, the Otterbox UnlimitED Case is a great solution when needing a rugged case to protect iPad Air tablets.

Protection
With full tablet protection (when ordered with the included screen protector), the case can handle tough students, being thrown in a backpack, and everyday usage.  The case is MIL-STD-810 rated to handle at least a 6 foot drop.  The outer case is hard plastic with an inner frame core that cushions the device.  A built in screen protector is optional and simple to replace if damage does occur.  A folio cover is also available in multiple colors for added screen protection and/or use as a stand.  The Otterbox UnlimitED provides full protection with only the LIfeproof fre case providing more with its IP68 waterproof rating.

Stand
The UnlimitED uses a built in stand on the back of the case that works somewhat like a high quality snap bracelet.  The stand is attached to the back of the case and sits flat when not needed.  To use, the ends of the stand curve out and the tablet can be leaned against the curves.  The system is simple, easy to use and does a good job propping up the tablet.  Stands can be easily replaced and come in multiple colors.  The stand can be used in typing mode or viewing mode but angles cannot be adjusted.

Accessory Compatibility
The UnlimitED is compatible with common charging carts and fits within the slots.  The port opening for chargers and keyboards will work with non OEM connectors.  The case works well with the popular Belkin wired keyboard with built in stand.  We did not find any popular education accessories the UnlimitED case did not work with or fit well with.

Convenience
The clear back on the UnlimitED case makes asset tag access simple.  The asset tag can be attached to the device versus the case providing added security and tag protection.  The cases are scratch and scuff resistant and the grey outer shell maintains a clean look.  If the case does get dirty, the outer shell can be easily wiped down and is stain resistant.

Otterbox designers have been designing rugged cases for years.  The UnlimitED case is a great example of their ability to design a top quality case.  While the UnlimitED may be a little more expensive than other options, the reduced breakage of devices protected by these cases will likely result in the cases paying for themselves.
