eGlovz for iPhone with TouchTec Technology

Even if you live in sunnier climes, when the colder months come around you’ll be glad of a pair of gloves for using with your iPhone. The

eglovz

touchscreen of the iPhone is all well and good until you come to use it with standard gloves – it just doesn’t work. You need an option to keep your hands warm, while at the same time allowing you to use your iPhone. There are many great options around, but the range from eGLovz get my vote for being reasonably priced, and offering high functionality as well as style. They aren’t the kind of gloves with the big silver tips on the end, or the tiny dots that don’t work, these are stylish gloves with TouchTec technology, that keep them looking good and performing to the max.

GEAR4 PowerPad Wireless Charger for iPhone

A common complaint of any smartphone in today’s market is that the battery drains quickly if you are busy using all those great apps,

gear4

and a daily charge is the norm. Stop all those cables getting in the way and use a wireless iPhone charger, to boost not only your iPhone but you can also charge other devices, such as an iPod as well. With the GEAR4 model, you just need to slip on the case and sit your iPhone on the mat to get it charging.

This wireless charger is particularly recommended not just because there is room to charge two devices at once, but because of its sleek looks, and the ability to charge at the same rate as a standard charger. A very slight humming noise when your device is charging is the only drawback, but for a product like this it is quite normal.
