At first glance, Zagg’s Invisible Shield looked just like any other screen protector, but soon after we fixed it on an iPhone 4 and began testing how well it could handle potential scratches we knew we had something far more durable and flexible than your average screen protector.

Zagg’s Invisible Shield is not made from ordinary plastic but instead uses plastic film that is so strong that it was once used to protect the blades of U.S military helicopters! The Invisible Shield also uses Nano technology, making it sort of like a smart film with self healing properties and an extremely high resistance to scratches. And if that were not enough, the shield is so easily flexible that it bends around corners and curves to take the shape of your phone or gadget, thus protecting all the surfaces that you want covered.

Available for £17.95 at Mobile Fun, this impressive little piece of military plastic is sure to protect your favourite iPhone 4 from scratches, smudges and smears.

Once it has been fitted, the shield is more-a-less invisible, check out the photos below for proof:

iPhone 4 Invisible Shield Features

So let’s have a run down of the iPhone 4 Invisible Shield features:

• Colour: Transparent/ Clear
• Warranty Type: Replacement
• Warranty Validity: Lifetime of device
• Material: Urethane plastic
• Price: £17.95 (for iPhone 4 design)
• Also included: Instruction booklet and adhesive
• Technology: Nano-Memory for self healing properties
• Coverage options: Full Body Maximum Coverage and Full Body Easy Install
• Size: Available in multiple sizes and designs to fit different gadgets
• Compatible with touch screen devices: Yes

What Makes the iPhone 4 Invisible Shield Better than Other Screen Protectors?

Currently, there are hundreds of clear screen protectors available on the market, but what makes the Invisible Shield stand out from all the rest is that it is made from Urethane Plastic and uses Nano Technology in its film.

Some of the other special features of Zagg’s Invisible Shield are as follows:

• Material is scratch resistant
• Does not mark device during application or removal
• Fits the iPhone 4 perfectly
• Can even be used for watches, laptops and gaming screens
• Uses Nano-Memory technology and has self healing properties
• Can be twisted to cover corners, sides and protrusions on a device
• Package comes with instructions for application and adhesive
• Rugged film protects device from high speed abrasion
• Reduces smudges on device screen

So How Does Nano Technology in the Invisible Shield Work?

Nano memory technology has been used in the making of the Shield’s film creating a new texture to the device’s surface making it not just more scratch resistant but self healing.

Self healing: This gives the film the ability to recover soon after being exposed to abrasive substances making it last longer, allowing any device protected with the film to retain its shiny new look for life. Phones, cameras and laptops covered with the Invisible Shield will be safe from abrasions even at high speed.

Flexibility: The Nano memory technology also provides greater malleability to Zagg’s Invisible Shield making this military plastic film extremely flexibility. Users will be able to use the film to cover all part of their device from the front screen to the back panel, sides and top. Since the film is easy to bend to move, users will fin it very easy to fix onto their phones and gadgets.

Easier Grip: The combination of the Nano memory technology and the Urethane plastic makes it easier for one to grip the device and reduces chances of it slipping through your fingers and falling on the ground. The Invisible Shield can be extremely useful if you have a tendency to drop things and will be the ideal protection for your device.

What other devices can you use the Invisible Shield on?

Since the shield is made from military plastic, and has special memory technology, it is not advisable to cut your iPhone 4 Invisible Shield and shape it to fit a different phone or device. Furthermore, any alteration made to the film will cause the lifetime warranty provided by InvisibleSHIELD to become void. To avoid this Zagg has provided users with different designs of the Invisible Shield. You will be able to buy designs to fit most of the following gadgets including:

• Camera displays
• Mobile Phones
• Laptops
• Watches
• Digital Media Players,
• iPhones
• Touch screen Phones
• iPods
• GPS Devices
• Small Gaming Systems

Conclusion: the iPhone 4 InvisibleShield is a good buy!

We can highly recommend Zagg’s iPhone 4 Invisible Shield. If you are considering getting Zagg’s Invisible Shield for your iPhone, pay a visit to Mobile Fun to make your purchase because Mobile Fun sell a range of iPhone 4 screen protectors and iPhone 4 cases.

Why We Heart the iHat?

After trying on the iHat, we discovered that it was comfortable to wear and looked trendy as well, without making the user feel weighed down with a bulky cap. The iHat has good speakers and the cap effectively manages to keep the headset placed well onto your ears so that you do not have to worry about having one earpiece fall off when you are walking. Also, the iHat works with MP3 players, iPods, iPhones and just about any music players with a headset socket! This means that you can use it to listen to music from your phone as well, as the hat is compatible with several models.

And if you are looking for more reasons why we at Techyzone heart this little gadget/clothing accessory then the fact the player does not require batteries or charging and runs on the power of your or iPod or iPhone, should help. If not, consider its price tag of only £13.47 which buys you a cool look, warm ears and funky music in one package.

Who can use the iHat?

In a word, the answer is everyone. If you have started feeling the chill of winter and are on the lookout for a trendy hat, there is nothing more fashionable than wearing a cool black iHat to keep you warm through the season. This gadget allows you to listen to music minus the annoyance of a troublesome headset and is the ideal companion for dancers who would like to practice some moves without playing the music out load and having their headset falling out from their ears. We recommend it to anyone auditioning for dance shows such as next season’s So You Think You Can Dance.

People who are always on the move, joggers, runners and even hikers will enjoy using this hat that will keep their favourite tunes near their ears always. The iHat is the best winter wear item to have in your closet as it allows you to stay warm and listen to music at the same time. The iHat can also be used for early morning jogs if you live in a region with a cool climate.

Innovative teenagers may find it particularly useful on bad dates or if they want to skate or roller board to music without having to worry about the earphones falling out. You could easily put on the cap and plug it in to your iPod to have music on the go and you hands free.

Backpackers, trekkers and travellers will also love the little iHat that will give you music as long as you want it, while sitting comfortably on your head.

The iHat also has a hip hop look to it and is sure to score big points with hip hop fans and Eminem and 50 Cent wannabes.

How does the iHat work?

With the iHat you will never need to be away from music. The iHat has a speaker system built into it and only needs to be plugged into your iPod, iPhone, or MP3 player to start working. The speaker system plays music into your ears directly just like a headset would and does not allow the sounds to spill out, thus creating a great audio experience from the inside of a hat!

You can buy the iHat and other interesting gadgets for your iPhone accessories from MobileFun. The iHat is now available for only £13.47 which we think is a great deal.

Last week we were asked to review the bluetooth scroll wheel optical mouse which was designed to be used for laptops and PCs. After syncing it up to a laptop and a netbook, and testing it out for a couple of days, we decided that it was both durable and an absolute bargain.

A real budget gadget for your laptop or netbook

If you are looking to get a mouse or a couple of mice for your laptop and PC but are on a tight budget, the bluetooth optical mouse from BudgetGadgets is something you should consider. This little mouse is great economical buy and is available for only $14.56 per piece!

What’s more is that Budget Gadgets also has a special offer for buyers who purchase more than three mice. Buyers who get 3 to 4 mice will get each gadget at $13.79, while a purchase of 5 or more will price these products at $13.45 apiece. Buyers of 10 or more of these mice will be able to get a ten percent discount and bulk orders will get even better rates!

Despite the fairly low pricing, this mouse is not to be considered as cheap tat, as it comes equipped with wireless bluetooth technology that has a reach of up to ten meters (33 feet). The mouse is battery powered, by two AAA batteries and is easy to install and use.

The bluetooth optical mouse – 5 reasons why your PC needs this little animal

If you are on the hunt for a good mouse for your PC or laptop, here are five reasons why we think you should consider the bluetooth scroll wheel optical mouse CH-02 we are reviewing today:

1. Mice like these are worth the investment as they use optical technology and function efficiently. These mice transmit wirelessly within a distance of ten meters and operate on batteries.
2. The battery operated Bluetooth mouse comes in red, grey and black giving you a choice of colours. It also has an easy to use shape that is designed to fit well into one’s hand for maximum convenience.
3. The scroll wheel allows for easy navigation and the mouse works with Windows 98, Windows 2000, XP, Windows Vista and even 2003 servers. The device is very easy to install and use. It also works with Mac OS x v10.2.6 Bluetooth equipped computers.
4. The mouse is equipped to automatically modulate frequencies so that other signals do not interfere with its own.
5. The mouse has an energy saving mode which gives the mouse at least 50% more battery life than most other battery operated mice on the market today.

This mouse does not need a pad

This is a great mouse for laptops as it allows users to do away with annoying wires and mouse pads. Since the mouse is Bluetooth operated, any PC, netbook, tablet or laptop equipped with these facilities can support it. Users will not have to use bulky and awkward mouse pads as this optical technology in this device takes care of this wirelessly. The device is also fast and allows for switches between 800/1000/1200/1600CPI if you want precision over speed.

For those computers that do not have Bluetooth facilities, a Bluetooth dongle will solve the problem and allow you to use this lightweight and durable Bluetooth mouse.

What is the iViewer?

The Cello iViewer is a device that is basically a regular television that has the ability to display Internet content. This means that you can follow some of your favourite Internet channels from your television. Also, all this can be achieved without any additional set top box or plug-in.

Why is the iViewer from Cello so special?

The iViewer has a number of distinguishing features which makes it a really good buy. In this section we will take a close look at some of the specifications of this television.

First and foremost, the iViewer supports the High Definition TV format, and provides excellent picture quality. In addition to this, the iViewer Television has stereo sound and MHEG5 technology for some stupendous sound.

The iViewer also has the ability to use a USB device with two USB sockets, a wi-fi adapter, scart sockets, a VGA and stereo jack and a couple of HDMI slots. The television adapts to a number of different systems including BG, Pal-I and Secam.

When we were using this television, we discovered other small yet nifty features like accessing our PC through the iViewer and using it as a monitor (and a high resolution monitor at that!)

Watching Internet Channels on the iViewer

To access internet channels on the iViewer, you can either use a regular Ethernet cable, or you can use a wi-fi dongle (the wi-fi dongle was included in the 32” iViewer package we were sent and it worked seamlessly with our encrypted wifi).

The main difference between the iViewer and any other television is of course the ability to watch Internet channels on a flat screen HDTV without any add-ons. It is thanks to this feature that the Cello iViewer has become one of the most talked about televisions in the UK. It has truly revolutionized the way people look at television.

If you are using the iViewer with a broadband connection you will have be able to directly access YouTube, Disney Movies, Autocar Magazine, Movie Rush, CNN, Sky Sports, Jamie’s Ministry of Food, Diggnation and a number of other podcasts. The biggest draw to this gadget however is BBC’s world famous iPlayer.

iViewer models

When you choose to buy yourself a Cello iViewer television, you have two separate options that you can choose from. Almost all the features are the same in both the models. The difference between the two lies in the size. We chose to test the 32” version of the iViewer since it incorporated a full HD feature at 1080 pixels. The other option available is the 26” model, which is HD ready.

The iViewer is signals a new age for Television

Some people we know are sceptical about buying themselves a Cello television, because there were some issues with the quality of the LCD screen in the past. With the iViewer however, we can’t see there being such complaints. It has a neat design with a excellent quality screen, making it a very appealing buy.

Conclusion: A brilliant television irresistible to technology lovers!

The more we see of the Cello iViewer, the more we seem to like it. Not only is the picture and sound quality superb, but this set also allows you to watch a number of Internet channels; this makes it irresistible to anyone who loves new technology and watching television. With a number of excitingly different features, we believe that the iViewer from Cello Viewer is going to be a huge hit on the market.

You can find out more about the iViewer on the iViewer website.

iWallet Is Extremely Safe to Use

The iWallet is a hundred times better than the humble personal wallet that one stuffs into the back pocket of a pair of trousers. Identity predators often get all the information they need by simply stealing the wallet of their victims, with everything from bank account information to social security numbers being stored in them. The iWallet is therefore the ideal solution for people who want to safeguard themselves from identity, data and asset theft.

Why You Should Ditch That Leather Wallet In Your Pocket

On first glance, the iWallet just looks like a very sturdy wallet. On a closer look one sees that the apparent sturdiness has been derived from a tamper-proof, solid carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibre glass outer case. The case is supposed to be rock solid and seem almost fused together. The most interesting aspect of the iWallet is the biometric sensor bit of it. The iWallet will only open to the fingerprint of the person it belongs to. So you can leave your wallet around and no one will be able to flick your cards and cash from it. The Biometric sensor ensures that the valuable contents of the iWallet are not accessed by unauthorized people. The term ’personal wallet’ gets redefined with the advent of the iWallet which delivers a hitherto unseen standard of security and customization to the users. The wallet can store not just credit cards and money but can also act as a jacket for holding small sized documents like licenses and social security cards and also personal photographs.

You Can Customise Your iWallet

The icing on the cake is definitely the Bluetooth feature. The iWallet comes with a very useful Bluetooth feature which allows it to be paired with virtually any mobile phone. For the absent minded souls who frequently misplace their wallets, this feature can be quite helpful. Those who forget their wallets behind will be alerted using an alarm on their cell phones as soon as they move a preset distance away from it so they can quickly prance back and grab their wallet. The Bluetooth feature is currently an optional add-on which is available to patrons of the product for a small fee. Plus, if you want to engrave your name on the product, the folks at iWallet will do it for you at an extra fee of $99.95, of course.

How Much Does The iWallet Cost?

The iWallet starts from $299 and can go upto $599.95 for the Kevlar reinforced ones. In all there are 11 models to choose from and it is available in a slew of colours as well, including red, green, black and silver. But at these prices the product is definitely not for the faint hearted.

Plus, while the contents of the purse could be adequately safeguarded within the confines of the carbon fibre case, the iWallet as such is still susceptible to theft and robbery. However, buyers are protected from defects and malfunctioning under a 1-year warranty scheme. The manufacturers also promise to give the money back, including a generous 15% ‘restocking fee’ in case buyers choose to return their purchase. Whether the modern man requires this level of sophistication and technology in a humble wallet and whether the price that it comes with is justified is a cause for debate. The iWallet is a great looking and innovative device that delivers what it promises. The only question is whether we really need it. If you want to protect your identity with the best security hen the iWallet is for you and you can purchase it as the iWalletUSA site.

Do not take just my word about the matter. I will show you using evidence that reading an air purifier review will provide you important information that is needed when you buy a new air purifier.

1. Unbiased opinion and not trying to sell you something

• Most reviews will be from the point of view of the consumer rather than the company who makes the product.
• If you have a look at any major purifier company website they all look the same with only the positive mentioned.
• Can you imagine a company who have spent countless dollars on design and testing will tell you the flaws?
• Most customers will use the product over many years and will be able to offer their opinion on the durability.

2. Most reviews will test the purifier over a number of different situations.

• You could need an air purifier for a number of different tasks so you need to know how it will work for your particular situation.
• One example could be that you need a purifier to remove pollen allergens so you need to read a review to find out if a purifier is good at removing pollen from the air

3. Now there is endless choice of reviews (1000′s exist for each model)

• Back in the day there was only around 2-3 magazines where you could find information about purifiers.
• If you did not agree with what the magazines said then you had no other place to find information about any purifier that you wanted to buy.
• In this modern age, any consumer with access to the internet can provide their review for the world to read. Now its far easier to find someone who thinks like you do and so provide insightful information about a purifier your interested in.

4. Reading a review will reduce the time spent researching

• Before the internet age it could sometimes take months before you understood if a purifier was worth buying or not.
• Amazon.com provides its users the ability to write a review of any purchase and so now you can use these review scores to quickly work out a basic evaluation of a specific air purifier.

5. Using a review you can save money

• You will save money as you no longer have to subscribe or buy industry magazines to learn about a new purifier.
• The World Wide Web has allowed us access to thousands of reviews for free and nearly every model is covered.

I recommend waiting over 6 months after the release of a purifier and then you will have access enough information to make the right decision.

Do you Really Need Yet Another Remote?

In recent years, people have started using computers for multimedia, and often, instead of owning a DVD player, MP3 player, sound systems and other such devices, people often decide to use their laptops to serve a number of multimedia purposes.

Imagine this scenario: you are relaxing with a group of friends watching a movie on your laptop, and suddenly your laptop switches to sleep mode. Ordinarily, you would have to get up and reactivate it, but with this Dell Media Remote Control, you will not have to move an inch, and you will have all the controls at your fingertips. This however, is only one of the many uses of this nifty device.

If you own a Dell Laptop, then you should definitely consider buying this Dell Travel Media Remote Control, simply so that you can have the added advantage of being able to control all your media from a distance. It is so easy to use that even someone who is not that familiar with technology can use the remote control to operate the media on their laptop. If you are like us, and hate having to get up every time you want to make some minor adjustment to the laptop volume or switch tracks, then you will be as happy with this gadget as we are.

Reasons Why You Should Consider Buying a Dell Laptop Travel Media Remote Control

There are a number of reasons why you should get yourself a Dell Media Remote Control. First, not only is it a very simple device, but it is also very easy to use. This means that you will be able to understand the various controls associated with it without any difficulty.

The Dell Laptop Remote is Very Small

The remote control is really small, lightweight and portable. The best part about it is that it fits right into the ExpressCard slot located on your laptop, so you won’t have to worry about where to store it. This makes it especially convenient for you if you use a sleeve instead of a laptop bag. This means that wherever your laptop goes, your Dell Laptop Remote Control also goes, so the chances of you misplacing it are much lower.

Even though it is a very small device, there are a number of things that it does. In total, there are 17 buttons on the remote that you can use to operate it. Like most television or media remotes, this gadget allows you to increase or decrease the volume, mute, rewind, forward, play, stop and pause. In addition, there are Page UP and Page Down buttons, as well as an Enter Button and a Back Button.

Dell Laptop Remote Does Not Need Special Software

The Dell Laptop Remote is a simple hardware device and does not need any software for it to function. We found that we could use the device on more or less any media software that we had on our laptop as long as it had the standard media buttons similar to those on the remote. We also found that the remote control works best on Windows Media Center and the Dell MediaDirect. We found that the ability to “wake up” one’s laptop with only the remote was definitely a big plus.

Conclusion

Overall, the Dell Travel Media Remote Control is one of the better laptop remotes that we have seen recently. The fact that it fits right into the ExpressCard slot, and is compatible with a large number of Dell Laptops (we tried it with the Dell Studio 17, Dell Inspiron and Dell XPS) just adds to its charm. You can buy the Dell Travel Remote from UKLaptops for only £5.99! At just over £5, we consider the Dell remote to be an absolute bargain!

The Winkku light and mirror set is one of the products we are recommending for bicycle commuters in November, and over the coming weeks, we will be doing a series of reviewing the best gizmos and gadgets for cyclists on Techyzone.com.

In order to try out the Winkkus, we decided it would be good to try cycling to work and back for a week with and without the Winkkus attached. We received a left and right Winkku, so we tried cycling with just the left or right Winkkus and both together. Below, you can see my bike with just the right Winkku attached.

Having tried both the left and right Winkkus, I have to say, in the UK where we tested the Winkku, the right mirror is by far the most useful Winkku to have on the bike. It was amazing to see the impact it had to ride with the right Winkku attached because cars gave me a much wider berth when they were overtaking! At night, the impact is amplified because the lights on the Winkku draw attention to the wing mirror and ensure that cars gave me as a cyclist lots of space. So when you’re buying the Winkku make sure you consider which country you’ll be using your bike in!

Why should you consider buying the Winkku bicycle safety mirror and light set?

To answer the above question in a single word: Traffic!

Bicycle commuters making their way through busy city streets teeming with cars and buses need to have eyes at the back of their head if they want to make it home safe, with both life and limb. However, since this is anatomically impossible for most of us, Winkku has devised an innovative mirror set that cyclists can easily attach to their bikes to help them make their way through heavy traffic safely.

This mirror and light set from Winkku turns your bicycle into a safety machine, as it allows cyclists to equip their rides with a left and right mirror and indicators as well. Winkku’s right and left mirrors allow you to make difficult turns into streets and lanes by turning on indicators with a flip of a switch and glancing at the mirrors instead of turning your head to the side to check on traffic, saving all your concentration for the road. We’re certain that cyclists are safer on the road with Winkku’s mirror set, than they are without it.

Winkku’s mirror, indicator and light set will help you not only see what’s behind you but will also let you make those turns without taking your eyes off the road and your hands off the handle bar.

This safety set also comes with red running lights that cyclists can use at night to make them visible on the road securing them a wider berth in night time traffic.

Features of the Winkku

The Winkku Bicycle Safety Mirror and Light Set brings together three safety measures in one package; it combines indicators, night running lights and rear view mirrors into a single compact device that can be easily fitted on to your handle bar.

If you want to know what’s special about Winkku’s Bicycle Safety Mirror and Light Set, the list of features below should clarify your doubts.

Indicators and Lights

• Combined with rear view mirrors 
• Ultra bright orange LED flashing lights
• Angled beams to ensure maximum visibility
• Clearly noticeable by car, van and bus drivers
• Five LEDs for the front
• Five LEDs for the rear
• Three LEDs for the sides
• Four bright front and rear running lights for night time safety
• Easily fitted to any model of bicycle
• Flashing direction indicator to warn drivers of your turns
• Operated by easy to reach switch

Rear View Mirrors

• Compact set
• Wide angle mirrors for maximum view
• Adjustable by hand
• Made from shatterproof resin
• Fits on handle bar end
• Mirrors can be folded back when navigating through narrow traffic
• Two fitting mounts suitable for all cycles
• Uses no wires and runs on AA batteries

How to fix the Winkku to your bike

One of the reasons we like the Winkku so much is that it is one of the easiest gadgets to fix on to your bike as it uses no wires and hence requires no elaborate wiring and setting up. The Winkku has been designed to be both compact and easy to use. This device can be clipped on to your handle bar in a matter of a few seconds with the use of the mounting sets provided.

Once the Winkku is on, it can be easily folded back when weaving through traffic and adjusted so that you can see what’s behind you. Winkku has designed different brackets for every type of cycle handlebars and you can avail the straight bracket, racing bracket or pro bracket for all cycles to fix the mirror and indicator set on to your bike.

Buying the Winkku

S o when it comes to buy the Winkku you have the option of buying the left and right Winkku as a set or alternatively you can purchase them as individual items. So you could if you wanted, just purchase either the left or right Winkku for your bike.

We definitely consider the Winkku to be an essential commuter gadget and would encourage you to visit the Winkku website, where you can buy the left or right Winkku for £24.39 individually or as a set for £44.78.
