Nokia 6555 Premium Leather Case LCPAD6555

Nokia 6555 leather caseAs leather cases go, the LCPAD6555 premium leather lambskin case is a nice product.

Features:

  • Genuine padded lambskin leather.
  • Crack-proof plastic keypad covers.
  • Custom-fit apertures for camera lenses and connector ports.
  • Superior stitching.
  • 360° ratcheting belt clip.
  • The leather is really soft but tough at the same time.  It did not scratch or scuff easily and the padding provides a moderate amount of shock protection if the phone is dropped.

    The ratcheting swivel clip is a nice option if you like to carry your phone on your belt, pocket, purse etc.  We found it nice to unsnap the top portion and use the bottom portion as a holster to carry the phone but leave the front of the phone uncovered.  This provided the ease of use of a holster but the functionality of a fitted case.

    We give the LCPAD6555 high marks for it fit, finish and quality.  Find this and other Nokia 6555 accessories here.

    Samsung Instinct Fitted Skins Case PSKM800

    Samsung Instinct PSKM800If you have a Samsung Instinct and have been hunting for a fitted case, you know there are not a lot of options.  Wirexgroup has a Skins neoprene case though that works pretty well.

    The features of the case include -

  • High-quality rubberized-neoprene construction.
  • Custom-fit apertures for camera lenses and connector ports.
  • Sporty black design with bold silver accents.
  • 360° rotating belt clip.
  • Low profile belt clip design with durable reinforced material with metal edge protector.
  • We found the case fit well.  The material was protective and had access to all the ports.  The case does add some bulk to the phone but not enough to bother us.  Overall, it seems like a great option if a fitted case is a must have.

    Blackberry Curve Leather Pocket Case POCKET8300

    Blackberry Cuve Leather Pocket CasThe Blackberry Curve Leather Pocket Case from Wirexgroup is a great carry and protection solution for the Blackberry Curve.

    The case is made of high grain leather that provides strong scuff protection and doesn’t tear easily.  The stitching was good quality and the interior soft felt padding kept the phone from getting scratched.

    The stitching on the case was smooth and did not have any sharp edges.

    The rotating swivel belt clip makes it easy to clip onto a belt, pocket, purse strap, or other location.

    The hidden magnetic strip puts the Blackberry phone into sleep mode saving your battery.

    The case works great.  The leather was soft but also tough and the interior felt lining provided great scratch protection for the phone.  The sleep mode magnet is a great added bonus.

    Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Headset

    Plantronics Discovery 925Last week we broke open our new Plantronics Discover 925 Bluetooth Headset for a test.  It has a somewhat unique v-frame design and single large button.

    Features include -

  • VFrame™ design captures your eye as well as your voice
  • Rechargeable case keeps you in charge
  • AudioIQ® noise control technology for clear calls
  • Three sizes of self-stabilizing eartips let you tailor the fit
  • Quick and easy set up with Bluetooth phones
  • Available in metallic and jewel tone colors
  • Enjoy up to 5 hours talk time or 7 days standby from a single charge
  • We are very picky about our Bluetooth headsets.  Both comfort and sound quality are hugely important.  The Discovery 925 has become one of our favorites.  The caller on the other end cannot tell the headset is being used and the quality of the speaker makes it easy to understand the caller.  It is comfortable to wear and has multiple gels for different sized ears.  Overall we would give the Plantronics Discovery 925 an 8 out of 10.

  • 12 foot strain resistant cord, 4mm thickness.
  • Extra-large contacts for improved connectivity.
  • Protects both phone and battery from power surge damage.
  • Large 3 – stage LED light.

    3.5mm Jack Earbud Splitter ISPLITTER

    Are you stuck with 1 MP3 audio player, but have 2 people who want to listen?  Here is your solution. 

    The earbud splitter is made so that you plug one end into your 3.5mm headphone jack on your MP3 player or iPod device and then it splits off to allow two 3.5mm headphones to plug into the other ends. 

    This allows 2 people to be able to listen to the tunes streaming from a music device at the same time. 

    The contacts are plated with 24k gold to be able to resist corrosion and maximize the strength of the signal.

    Plantronics M40s Stereo Earbud

    Plantronics M40sTalk handsfree and listen to MP3s in high quality stereo with the Plantonics M40s stereo earbuds. 

    While these are not the quality of a good set of Shure earbuds, they also cost considerably less.  As a result they provide a great value for the price.

    The headset provides decent sound and is comfortable.  A 2.5mm and 3.5mm adapter are both included for use with a phone or a MP3 player.

    Features include-

  • Multi use convenience for your mobile phone with integral music player, or your mobile phone and separate music player
  • Discreet design which easily fits in your pocket
  • In the ear style for a quick and comfortable fit
  • Clear conversations with a discreet omni-directional microphone
  • Simple one touch control to answer and end calls
  • The dangling mic works OK but don’t expect a lot of noise cancellation.  In fact, we haven’t found a dangling mic yet we really liked so Plantronics is no worse than the others.

    Overall, this is a great value for both music listening and hands free conversations at around $20.
