Quick Look: Carved.com Natural Bamboo skin for iPhone 4

Posted on 13 Jan 2012 by Thomas

  Carved.com sent me one of their iPhone 4/S Natural Bamboo skins to review over the Holiday season. It came with both front and back panels and attached quickly and easily to the iPhone with dry adhesive. Once in place, the Carved skin is gorgeous. There’s an interesting contrast between …

Review: Third Rail System Slim Case for iPhone 4S

Posted on 23 Nov 2011 by Thomas

  I’m used to making concessions when it comes to using cases with built in battery packs, but the Third Rail bucks this trend. It’s a full body case that helps protect from scratches and minor drops, but it also has a detachable battery that recharges my iPhone by 45%. …

Quick Look: Comic Express for iPhone and iPad

Posted on 15 Nov 2011 by Thomas

Comic Express is the latest app from Not A Basement Studio, the developer that brought us the excellent Manga Rock set of applications. However, Comic Express doesn’t feel like it hits quite the same sweet spot as Manga Rock did. There are already several great comic readers on the App …

Review: Galaxy on Fire 2 HD for iPhone and iPad (with iCloud support)

Posted on 08 Nov 2011 by Thomas

The galaxy in GOF2 HD is not actually on fire, but it does look really damn good. It is, in fact, so good looking that the game can only run on an iPhone 4S or an iPad 2. I asked the developers for a review code a few weeks ago …

Posted on 03 Nov 2011 by Thomas

Jetpack Joyride is the newest $0.99 title from Halfbrick Studios, the developers of Fruit Ninja, and they have returned with another title featuring their protagonist, Barry Steakfries.

Review: PhotoToaster 2 for iPhone and iPad

Posted on 24 Oct 2011 by Thomas

PhotoToaster is a great three-tiered photo editing application for the iPhone and iPad, and I think it’s awesome enough to warrant a video to demo some of the features and the UI: For those who simply want Instagram-like effects, there are global presets that will play with every aspect of …

Quick Look: moshi iVisor AG for iPhone 3GS

Posted on 19 Oct 2011 by Thomas

The moshi iVisor Anti-Glare screen protector for the iPhone 3GS is hilariously easy to install: all you do is open the package, clean your screen, align the screen protector, and then press down on the screen. It’s so easy that I actually did laugh out loud after the three second …

  At long last, several members of the iSource team have gotten their hands on the latest incarnation of the phone that changed everything.   Here are our impressions:   COMPARING THE IPHONE 4S TO THE IPHONE 4 Many people were surprised and disappointed that the iPhone 4s wasn’t the mythical …

Quick Look: Verbs IM for iPad

Posted on 11 Oct 2011 by Thomas

I reviewed Verbs when it first came out for the iPhone late last year. It was a very clean IM app, but the lack of landscape support and notifications kept me from using it in the everyday. Both of those aspects have since been addressed and I’m happy to report …
