Proporta: Alu-Leather Case For iPod Touch - January 17, 2008

I recently reviewed Proporta’s screen protector for the iPod Touch, which I highly recommended all owners to purchase. Although that was good step towards protecting your iPod, it won’t be able to protect the other parts of the device from rough handling or drops. This is where Proporta’s Leather Case for the iPod Touch plays [...]

MacWorld 2008: iPod Touch Upgrades - January 16, 2008

Although the iPod Touch features just about all the hardware components that the iPhone has, except for the cellular chip, but despite this it lacks many essential applications.

Proporta - iPod Touch Screen Protector - December 19, 2007

The iPod Touch might be the “king” of all portable media players, but isn’t exactly the most robust device. If you are a iPod Touch owner, pay attention, this is an essential accessory. The enormous touch screen display has been left unprotected and is bound to easily gather scratches with everyday use. To protect the [...]

iFrogz - iPod Touch Treadz (Case) - November 29, 2007

It’s been about three months since Apple first announced the iPod Touch and at this point just about all the major accessory makers have begun to ship out their products.

Yet Another iPod Nano Review - October 21, 2007

It has been over a month since Apple launched the third generation iPod and it’s probably a bit late for a review, but we’re publishing ours anyways. Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, first unveiled the original iPod Nano about two years ago by sliding it out of his famous pair of blue jeans. A year later [...]

Proporta - Screen Overlay - August 4, 2007

While LCD displays are getting larger and larger on portable devices, it is only getting easier and easier to scratch and damage them. We recently picked up a Sony DSC-T100 Digital Camera, which had one of the largest displays we had seen. While we were on the search for a screen protector, Proporta just happened [...]

Proporta - iPod Shuffle Cases - December 3, 2006

Apple released the new 2nd generation iPod Shuffle last month. Many have complained that the unit is too small, making it quite easy to drop. Although the shuffle has been proven to withstand occasional drops, since it is an item that is constantly handled, we still would recommend purchasing a case. Proporta was generous enough [...]
