At first glance the Seidio OBEX waterproof case for iPhone 5 doesn’t look like much. However, if you use your precious device in an environment where it can easily be subject to things like mud, water, dust, sand or anything that could potentially destroy your prize possession then this case, as vanilla as it may seem, could literally save your backside.
Seidio OBEX is designed for protection and functionality more so than fashion. It absorbs shock in two ways; first by the material it’s made of – a combination of Polycarbonate and Thermoplastic Polyurethane – and second, by the curvature in the build that dissipates the force of the impact across the body of the case rather than at its point of impact, softening the blow. In fact, in independent testing, it exceeds MIL-STD-810G a military standard for drop protection when dropped from 4 feet at multiple angles. READ FULL ARTICLE AT G4TV CANADA

Any way we can improve game play is a good thing, especially for those of us who struggle to keep up with the pros. One way, of course, is to use a better mouse.

iPads and other tablets have become so versatile, they can now be used almost anywhere but sometimes holding them for long periods of time or keeping them in a place or at angle to effectively use them can be a challenge. This is especially true where the only available surface is an arm, a leg or a lap; like in the back seat of a car.
I’m not one for spending too much time in front of the tube, so when I had the opportunity to test drive the ROKU 2 XS streaming video player (recently available in Canada) I figured I could do a little catching up with a few flicks and TV shows and find out what this little device had to offer.

I’ve seen many speakers in my day, but none that remind me of shark fins, rhinoceros horns or hats worn by the Loyal Order of Water Buffalo in The Flintstones cartoon, until now.
Dubbed, “Spinnaker”, or Spinnaker E30 Powered Stereo Speaker System by Edifierto be more precise, reminds me of all three – depending on how you look at them. These towering, fashionable and avant-garde speakers are there to make a statement. They sail in at over 16” tall, 7.7” wide and 5.5” deep, you’d be hard pressed to miss them.
