Product: Grove Leather Back
Price: $29.00 - $39.00
Rating: Recommend

One of the first decisions that any iPhone owner has to make is what kind of case to buy. When even your corner store carries a variety of smartphone covers, you know the market is saturated with product - which can make it a bit of a challenge to find a case that is unique, functional, and within your price range.

Product: Samsung Galaxy Note
Price: $229.00 (contract)/$559.98 (unlocked)
Rating: Strong Recommend*

Samsung has found itself with a surprise hit on their hands with their Galaxy Note, selling over 6 million of the devices worldwide since the start of 2012, proving naysayers wrong with success where similarly supersized devices failed. The 5.3" model holds dual citizenship as both phone and tablet ("phablet" seems to be a popular description), arguably defining a whole new category of smartphone which forgoes pocketable size for an extended feature set. But is bigger really better when it comes to everyday use? For the last month I've adopted the Galaxy Note as my primary smartphone and I discovered there's a lot to love about this giant...if you can live with its quirks. More

Name: StrollAway by MetroTots
Price: $39.99
Rating: Recommend

Buying a stroller can be a confusing decision. There are so many to choose from and, especially as a first time parent, it's hard to know which features to prioritize. One thing parents in small homes often overlook when stroller shopping is where they're going to put the damn thing. The StrollAway was designed with just these parents in mind. More

Product: Pong iPhone 4S Case
Price: $49.99 (Leather/$59.99)
Rating: Recommend*

One of the first accessories many iPhone owners consider is a proper case — a case allows you to personalize your phone while also protecting your investment. But have you ever considered a case that offers protection for you? Pong Research claims to deflect 95% of near-field cell phone radiation, possible insurance against the long-term effects of using a cell phone daily... More

Product: Doxie Go + Wi-Fi
Price: $249
Rating: Recommend*

When we spotted the Doxie Go + Wi-Fi at Macworld 2012 we knew we had to give it a try for ourselves. Having a scanner, especially one that will scan to the iPad, is very useful, but not everyone, especially us apartment dwellers, has space for a flatbed scanner. The small profile of the Doxie Go and the versatility offered with the addition of Wi-Fi made it a product that we could hardly wait to put through its paces... More

Product: Energizer Glas Under Cabinet LED Light
Price: $60
Rating: Recommend*

Although our apartment gets plenty of natural light there are still some areas, especially within storage, that could do with some extra illumination. These spaces include the cabinets under the TV, in the bathroom and inside the closet. We recently purchased and installed a LED solution from Energizer which puts out 400-lumens with just 9 watts...

Product: Stocktouch App
Price: $4.99
Rating: Recommend*

Sleek. Responsive. Colorful. These aren't words used to describe the new iPad, but a new stock market app for your iOS devices called Stocktouch. Is this graphically beautiful app all show and no go? Or does it have what it takes to earn a spot on your app utility belt? More

Product: Ivee Digit
Price: $49.99
Rating: Weak Recommend*

"Hello ivee..." has been a new common phrase in our apartment the last few weeks, with the introduction of the Ivee Digit alarm clock, a voice-activated "beside assistant" designed to bring a little of that Siri-ish magic to your bedtime and morning routine. Whether this device is a help or hindrance depends upon your lifestyle and perhaps your age... More

Product: The Magic Charger
Price: $49.90
Rating: Highly Recommend*

The disappearance of corded computer peripherals has been a huge improvement in the fight against desk clutter, the sort of unheralded progress only noticeable when you have to go back to the way "it used to be". Mouse and keyboard cables always seemed to find a way to tangle up (or just become eyesores to a neat freak like myself), especially when used in the confines of a smaller desk. So good riddance cabled devices! Both my keyboard and mouse are wireless models from Apple, and besides an occasional wonky Bluetooth issue, both have been dependable tools. Well, at least until their rechargeable batteries wane down to a sputter... More

Product: Sony RDP-X500IP Speaker Dock System
Price: $299.95
Rating: Recommend*

The category of audio docking units designed specifically for iOS device has exploded across nearly every home electronics manufacturer, and it's where a great deal of audio innovation is happening for consumer grade speakers for the MP3 generation. Sony has jumped into the game with a subtle little number, the Sony RDP-X500IP, a dock meant to be unobtrusive visually while still being able to compete with nearly any dock speaker system out there...
