Tactus iPhone Cases for Christmas

Posted on December 12, 2015 by Margaret Graham

My lovely son-in-law has just broken his phone. I doubt he would have it he’d had the Omniwallet. So guess what he’s getting for Christmas?

Tactus iphone cases are really interesting. FrostMagazine likes the Omniwallet folio case in particular, because we like things that ‘earn their keep’. This not only protects your iPhone 6s, and iPhone 6 but brings together all your daily essentials and puts them in one secure place. Cash, cards and the phone are all in one package so no more wasted time while you search for one or the other.

The case has a protective detachable inner shell which is secured magnetically making the case usable without the wallet attached. Made of genuine leather, it has a front flap to protect the screen with stud clasp. There are card slots and cash pocket. There is a detachable inner protective phone case that can be used without the wallet feature.

So, what a great present for someone, and it’s under £20 too.

Tactus has a variety of iPhone cases, all interesting and innovative.

What about the jazzy and innovative LumiNova which glows in the dark and is available in 6 snazzy colours.

Or the extra protective, bright bumper case NeoGuard which uses clever technology to dual protect your phone, while looking funky in bright colourways.

Gigaset G-Tag Review By Tracy Baines

Posted on December 11, 2015 by Tracy Baines

Keep track of your valuables this Christmas with the new Gigaset G-tag. Using Bluetooth technology, this clever device can track down important items such as keys, handbags or even your car, by electronically syncing to a simple smartphone app.

The G-tag also alerts users if they’ve left somewhere without their ‘tagged’ items. If the device moves more than a pre-set distance, they receive a notification on their phone to help find missing possessions within 10m.

The app was easy to install and ready to go.

I think it’s fabulous if you’re like me and can’t remember where you parked your car – especially this time of the year.

We were burgled recently and the thieves took my handbag and purse – and I loved that handbag. I’m thinking of sewing one of these into the lining so that if, heaven forbid, the same thing happens again I at least might get my handbag back.

If my children were still small I think I’d be slipping them on rucksacks, lunch boxes and PE bags. How many hours would that have saved?

It comes in different colours – great for putting on a key ring and makes it easy to find in the bottom of your bag.

Available in black, white, orange, red and green.

Leef iBridge Review | The Perfect Gift For Christmas

Posted on December 7, 2015 by Frostie

Not many products actually make a huge difference to your life, but ever since the Leef iBridge arrived I have been singing its praises. In fact, I have even bought some for relatives, that is how amazing it is.

So, I hear you ask: what is it? The Leef iBridge is a compact and convenient must-have for all Apple users, featuring a lightning connector at one end and a standard USB connector on the other. Users can also take photos and videos directly to the iBridge, bypassing their Apple device’s internal memory altogether.

Before this arrived my iPhone was struggling and I could not take any more pictures as I had no memory. My son is not even a year old and I have thousands of pictures and videos of him. I could not even access Twitter or Whatsapp. Enter Leaf iBridge. It can bypass the internal memory of the iPhone so you never have to see the ‘memory full’ pop-up message ever again. It backs-up your iPhone AND it makes it easy to transfer your files to your computer. Or any other computer for that matter. It can also be used on an iPad and an android version is available. I did have to delete some pictures to download the app which goes with the iBridge but it was not a big hassle. I am obsessed with this and have already bought some for other people. I reckon I might even buy another for myself. LOVE.

–    Ideal for… anyone with a full to capacity iPhone – Instagram addicts, commuters or holidaymakers.
–    Device in 10 words: Never see the dreaded ‘memory full’ pop-up ever again
–   Price: starts at £69.99 for 32GB (64, 128 and 256GB also available)
–   Available to purchase: From Leefco.com, Amazon.co.uk, CarphoneWarehouse.com, Argos.com and TescoDirect.com

Android compatible devices are also available – the Leef Bridge 3.0 and Leef Access are available to purchase from Leefco.com and Amazon.co.uk.
