iPhone's pamper

Advantages: material, simple to use
Disadvantages: price

...Le Royale for iPhone (please note this is the correct product name, not "Crumpler case for cellular phone", as this case was made particularly FOR the iPhone (of course suits also iPhone 3G, if you wonder). If you buy a cellphone the face of which is almost completely made of glass, you have a problem - how to keep him safe? Something so precious and potentially fragile needs good protection against all the evil sharp stuff I keep in my handbag, not to mention -god forbid!- what could happen should it fall. Since there wasn't anything from Apple and I got no other tips, I went to check my favourite store - Crumpler. And there goes the devil! Le Royale for iPhone sitting nicely on the rack. The decision was made at that instant and I'm not sorry. The MUST list for a proper cellphone case: 1. Durable - Le Royale is made...

Crumpler laptop + photo bag

Advantages: lightweight, safe, cute
Disadvantages: none

...Crumpler Pretty Boy XL Back Pack Crumpler's an Australian company producing quality goods in the hold-anything bag industry, they specialize in laptop cases and bags, shoulder strap bags, camera bags and cellphone cases, but their product range is way wider including travel bags, trolleys, whatever-purpose backpacks and cases. Important to mention is that what makes it an outstanding trademark is besides inargumentable quality the products' looks. Crumpler is young, trendy, stylish, won't offend anybody and it has a spirit that makes you fall in love. I've had my eye on Crumpler since quite a while, but since their stuff isn't the cheapest, I had been waiting for a good reason to invest my money into one of their beauties and that has come just now. I was in acute need of a camera bag and I also longed for a laptop backpack so that...

An unwinnable case?

Advantages: excellent gripping read
Disadvantages: none

...I am a great fan of courtroom dramas, which is one of the reasons why I enjoy John Grisham novels so much and I pretty much look on him as the master of this genre. Therefore, when I discover a book that claims that it's 'better than Grisham or your money back' I am bound to be interested. This was the claim made by the publishers of 'The Tenth Case' which meant that I found myself compelled to read it. I do think that Grisham at his best is pretty unbeatable although not all that he writes lives up to expectations. So could this book beat, or at least match, what Grisham does? Read on... At the start of the book, we meet Jaywalker, a defence lawyer, whose methods are somewhat unorthodox to say the least. In fact, he is in so much trouble that he is about to be barred from practicing law for three years. He is, however, permitted to...

Review of The Tenth Case - Joseph Teller

Viva Crumpler!!

Advantages: Robust and resilient, looks good
Disadvantages: Not waterproof (not expected to be, but would have been nice!)

...I\'ve been using one of these for about 12 months now. Mines the cream/black/maroon version. As with all Crumpler bags, it's very sturdy and well made, and lots of practical features but be aware, this bag is most definitely NOT waterproof like most of their other bags, due to the neoprene panels (the main part of the bag is made from their water resistant ChickenTex fabric). Not a problem, just something to be aware of. Also, as with all Crumpler bags, it is very stylish and whilst it's maybe a bit more expensive than other brands, you DO seem to get what you pay for with their products. This little bag has had some serious abuse and apart from being a bit mucky (it's cream in colour - what do you expect), it's in great condition. This pouch is big enough to hold a larger compact digital camera (I use a Panasonic TZ1...

Tomtom - just in case! . . .

Advantages: Protects.
Disadvantages: None.

...First the technical stuff, the case is made of plastic, ethylene-vinyl acetate actually, which is a form of soft thermoplastic, including recycled materials, so you could say you are doing your bit for the environment. The outer covering is hardwearing Nylon. The carry case comes complete with a wrist strap, although personally I would not trust it. It has an improved zip, apparently the old one was prone to jamming. The picture Ciao have put up is of the old model, the new one is very similar, just a little more subtle. These cases are a good idea for keeping dust and scratches at bay, however, it may have been a better idea if the case was fitted with belt loops, so you could carry it on your belt, or a strap like binoculars have, rather than risk it slipping out of your pocket, or even leaving it in the car. The downside...

vanguard Camera case

Advantages: cheap price, safe and durable, waterproof, and camera protective
Disadvantages: Made in china, available in black only.

...background to Vanguard until I started to write this review I had no idea who they were. I searched online and read a few reviews about the company. The company specialise in manufacturing Camera bags, Binoculars, Tripods and Cases for guns to name a few products. The companies customers include major Camera manufacturers. vanguard Camera Case for a Camera case it is a low priced entry level Camera Case used to hold, store and allow the user to move around with a Camera inside the Pouch. The Camera Case is black coloured throughout. The Case has the Vanguard's logo encased on the closing part of the Pouch. Also the material is polyester and I suppose that it is good that it is not made from leather as the leather in the summer weather reacts to the heat. This Camera Case also adheres to the international quality...

Review of Vanguard LIMA 6B Case Camera

The Curious Case Of The Overlong Movie

Advantages: An enjoyable 60 minutes
Disadvantages: A very normal final 100 minutes.

...Since catching the trailer during mid 2008, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button became one of my personal must see movies. Initially expected to arrive on UK shores at Christmas the movie was delayed slightly for a February 2009 launch, this struck me as being quite odd because it certainly is one of those movies that on initial glimpses oozes Christmas cheer, under the direction of David Fincher (Alien 3, Zodiac, Se7en) this was bound to be a movie for the family to see. The big family hook of the movie is that for its lead character Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) he begins life at its end and moves backwards (or forwards if you wish) through to the state a normal person would be at birth. The product born of tragedy, Benjamin arrives in the world with elastic skin, severe arthritis, failure of several organs, and blindness. Unwanted...

Case Closed

Advantages: concept is good
Disadvantages: repetitive

...I like hidden object games so my partner knew he would be onto a winner if he bought me the new Million heir Case files when it was released last month. I have played plenty of hidden object games on the PC but never on a hand held console, and I was a bit worried about peering at the screen too much and hurting my eyes in the process. ** What is Million heir? ** The storyline behind the game is that Mr Phil T. Rich has disappeared from his mansion and is presumed dead. The objective of the Master Detective otherwise known as you the player is to search his mansion and places of the suspects you come across to find the mystery behind the disappearance. ** How to play ** If you have never played a hidden object game before, then you may be fooled by reading the above description that this game could be a point and click...

In case you need to protect your laptop!

Advantages: Great for protecting your laptop
Disadvantages: None!

...Reason For Purchasing: This has been a really great Notebook, or in my case, Laptop carrying bag, that I have used for over a year. I bought it to protect my laptop, whenever I was not using it and for carrying it around in. I have now given it to my daughter, as I have a newer pull along one. This one though, is suitable for storing your laptop or notebook in when indoors, but I would not recommend it for travelling, as it is not that padded enough for protection really. I bought this Case Logic Case online, as it worked out a lot cheaper than some stores where selling it at, and the price was good for it's quality I thought. I have had it over a year now, used it everyday and it stills looks like the day I bought it, so in my opinion, it has lasted really well indeed! Design: This Case Logic case, came in a clear...

Utilitarian case by JVC

Advantages: light, spacious, handy, good material
Disadvantages: no velcro compartments

... JVC CB A79 Case Camcorder also known as "reporter bag" INTRO With a weight below 180 grams this medium-sized case can be considered, without a doubt, a lightweight case. I have been looking for a case where to put my werdly-sized camera (Canon S5 IS) for a long time after the fiasco of the original canon bag in which my camera does not fit properly; so I was in a shop (Curry's) the other day and I spotted this case on a shelf with a 97p tag on it. I asked the assistant if it was indeed 97p and so it was... I imediately bought it. I later found out that the price of this bag usually varies between £10-£15, currently on amazon is around £13 so I can consider myself quite lucky and happy of the amazing deal. OVERVIEW So let's see some details, first of all the size: approximately 17 x 11 x 10cm. The material...
