iPhone users, listen up! Here's a cool case that not only protects your iPhone but is a good place to store your Bluetooth headset. Mogo created a case called Mogo Talk ((http://mogostore.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MG230%2D0119) for the iPhone that has a pocket on the back where you can stow the very thin (5mm) Bluetooth device for your hands-free operation of your iPhone. Taking the headset out is a breeze by simply pressing one side to pop it out. Then you just fold out the boom of the ear piece to use.

To charge the headset, the case also doubles as it's charging dock with a microUSB port towards the bottom. You charge the phone and headset separately; it would've been far cooler if you only needed one charger and hopefully a future build would do just that.

The headset may be fairly flat but a bit wide and doesn't have an earhook if you like those. It comes with several ear tips that may do away with your reliance of a hook or loop anyway.

One amazing use of this is that you won't ever have to dig your bag or pockets for your headset when you pull out your iPhone. It's always part of the iPhone via the case and for $129.95 at the Apple Store, you can be sure to have your Bluetooth handy whenever you're making a call.




 

When it comes to comfort and quality it seems like Sound ID comes through again with the ID 300. Detailed specifications are available at http://www.soundid.com/homeFlash.html.

First think you notice is how attractive it is. It is piano black and very lightweight. The unit has dual microphones and a new technology called Noise Navigation. It also comes with two other ear loops so you can pick the size that is right for your ear. They even throw in the over the ear hook if you want additional wearing security.

Although very comfortable to wear the buttons seem a bit small for large hands. The multifunction button is on top and the volume is on the side. To change the volume you have to keep pressing till you reach the level you like. The volume key also doubles as the personal sound preference control. You hold it down for a couple of seconds and you can then select the sound preference you like most. The three modes are normal, moderate and strong.

Call quality was pretty good on both ends of the call. The Sound ID 300 is an excellent unit and wearing it the whole day does not stress out your ears.

The current price is about $60 online and that’s a pretty good price for a cool headset.




 

Now that music is so portable in various devices like iPod/iPhone, MP3 player, mobile phone, etc, you're bound to want a portable speaker as well. Although headsets and earphones are usually the primary means to listen to your tunes, there are times when you'd like to hear them from a speaker. So take a look at this small device that turns many flat surface into a speaker called the TuneBug Vibe (http://www.tunebug.com/tunebug-vibe.html).

Any audio source with a 3.5mm audio jack can be connected to this and either placed on the included Sound Base (doubles as a storage for the Vibe) or any flat surface that would vibrate to generate sound. It is a small triangular device measuring 2.3"x1" with a silver top containing the illuminated power button. And yeah, it is rechargeable that runs for 5 hours on a full charge.

Currently it sells for a little over $69 on Amazon so go check it out for yourself.






 

 

Tired of having far too much cord on your earphones? Well, Innovelis has created a simple way to manage and customize the length of your cable with CordFits (http://www.cordfits.com/). Simple to weave your cord into the channels and after you choose either black or green cover, you can now shorten or lengthen your cord easily to match your need.

It's easy to figure out and use so for about $8 on Amazon.com, this is a great cable management for your earphones.




 

 

Taking care of your iPhone from bumps and shocks shouldn't be difficult especially if you get protective cases for it. Otterbox, known for its hard-cases that could withstand just about anything, has now added a soft case to their lineup. The Impact series for iPhone 3G/3G(S), http://www.otterbox.com/iphone-cases/iphone-3g-3gs-cases/iphone-3g-3gs-impact-case/, provides the protection you need by padding the corners and the back sufficiently enough to buffer your iPhone. It wraps snugly over the 3G/3G(S) [not for 1st Gen] iPhones and feels good in the hand for secure grip. The ports are easily accessible as well as the buttons. It has a cutout on the back so you can show off your Apple logo.

If you're not ready for the polycarbonate cases that Otterbox offers for the iPhone that are for more rugged use, might want to use this just so the iPhone is protected from the light bumps that it encounters everyday. It is going for a little over $10 for the black one and around $15 for the white one on Amazon.com.
