Product: Mophie OutRide for iPhone 4/4s
Price: $149.95
Rating: Recommend*

The Mophie OutRide was designed with one thing in mind: outdoor action. The hard case OutRide converts the iPhone into a 170 degree wide-angle action sports camera, complete with secure mounting kit for both dry and water based sports. Unfortunately, my mountain biking and snowboard days are over and I didn't have an iPhone 4/4s to test the unit out, so I turned to some a friend with younger knees and a love of bombing downhills to get his hands-on impressions about recording while riding with the Mophie OutRide...

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to attend the MRKET show in New York with a friend. On display were dozens of amazing menswear brands, and as someone always on the lookout for stylish ways to carry tech, I'm happy to report that there are quite a few excellent laptop bag options showcased. Read on for a few of the favorites and a sneak peek into what you can expect to see in fine retailers come later this year. More

ReFleece iPad Sleeve
• $32.00 ($29.95 for iPad Mini)
• ReFleece

Sam Palmer has quite the resume: he helped design the first Patagonia surfboard and worked for design powerhouse, IDEO. Now he's partnered with his wife Jennifer to launch ReFleece, possibly the most sustainably designed iPad accessory (besides a DIY version): each ReFleece's outer charcoal grey layer is constructed from post-industrial recycled fleece scrape, while the inside layer comes directly from recovered fleece jackets via Patagonia's Common Threads Initiative. Light, secure, and protective, there are a multitude of color options, alongside sleeves and cases for the Kindle, Kindle Fire, iPad Mini, Kobo, and Samsung Galaxy tablets, offering an earth-friendly option for carrying around your favorite tablet or reader.

Shield Fade for Samsung Galaxy S III
• $29.99
• Belkin

When it comes to features and performance, Samsung Galaxy S III owners can go toe-to-toe with just about any smartphone device out there. Where it falls short are options for fashionable customization. Purists and hardcore geeks may scoff, but fashionable case options are a huge industry. So this Galaxy S III owner is very pleased to see these colorful case options from Belkin, diverging from the bro-tastic+Oakley-shades realm and infusing a bit of trendy ombre (or Mark Rothko-inspired, if you're the artsy type) to the Android users' realm.

ScreenSavrz Protective Cover for Apple Displays
• From $38.95
• RadTech

Maybe you've got a curious cat with sharp claws, or an even more curious toddler with drool-coated hands wandering around your beloved computer screen. Add a layer of protection with RadTech's line of ScreenSavrz display covers designed for the Apple iMac or Apple Cinema Display (up to 30") to keep those distracting smudges at bay. Super soft and ultra-thin at only 0.6mm thick, the cover is also designed as a safe and effective screen cleaner without the need for sprays to remove fingerprints and other surface marks soiling your display.

I'm back from a long and restless week spent in Las Vegas at the world's biggest tech convention — The Consumer Electronics Show, aka CES. Getting a chance to see millions of square feet (1.9 million square feet to be exact) of technology side-by-side, all-at-once, and in-your-face is a unique experience that allows you to spot the newest trends in home tech. Now that I'm away from the bright lights, with a moment to sit back and take it all in, I'm starting to get a general feel for the overall state of the industry. Read on for a one-word assessment of this year's CES. More

2013 seems to be off to a great start with the color of the year being a personal favorite – emerald. If you're like me and slightly addicted to this shade of green, then this is the roundup for you – with tech cases and devices in this lovely color and other amazing shades of green. Kermit was wrong, it's rather easy being green. More

Jessi of home craft and design blog , Practically Functional, celebrated the purchase of her first iPad in the spirit of her own site. Instead heading out to a store or online to secure her new tablet with a manufactured case, she knew there was a DIY project just waiting to happen to keep the iPad safe and sound... More

The holidays are another time of year where color is heavily on my mind. Sometimes I like exploring with cool whites, silvers and golds but I never tire of the traditional red and green color schemes either. Red is my inspiration color this week. Here is a roundup of cool tech items in red to get you into the holiday spirit. More

Heritage Computer Sleeve
• $44.99
• The Herschel

The Herschel makes affordable and sturdy backpacks, totes, wallets (I just purchased one to replace a dying leather Hot Topic wallet I got for free years ago), and additionally have extended into the category of iPad and laptop sleeves. A sturdy coated cotton-poly fabric exterior with leather detailing and a padded fleece lined interior can acommodate for a 11", 13", or 15" laptop and is available in a variety of color combos (and alternative material and styles). They're no-nonsense but quite handsome for throwing into a messenger bag, tote, or backpack without worry about scratches or dings.
