Looking for a nice case to go with your new or indeed now not so new iPad Mini? Well here we have a quick look and comparison of 2 of the best. The Snugg iPad Mini case and the STM Skinny for iPad Mini. Both these cases sell …

We’ve already seen the Pong iPhone 4 / 4S case and recently had a nose around the iPad case too. A case, you might think, doesn’t take a great deal of explanation or reviewing. However, the people at Pong are quite clever. All of their cases, including this …

The guys over at MobileFun have sent us an extended battery case for the iPhone 5. The Power Jacket is the first extended battery case to enter the market for the iPhone 5 and we have the privilege of getting one. First impressions when getting it out of …

While I do love my Nexus 4, I did spend a fair amount of time in my review, and on the podcast, discussing its design flaws. Although the glass back might look and feel great, it certainly doesn’t help with durability or handling. It’s an accident waiting to happen, both …

Ahh, the Nexus 4, the latest and greatest phone you can’t get hold of. If you are lucky enough to get one, you will soon realise you need protection for it. I prefer bumper cases to full cases, as they don’t add too much bulk to the original …

So, the Nexus 4 has launched but has been rather difficult to get hold of which means that those of us that want to upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus need to wait a while longer. Whilst waiting there is no point in jeopardising your still rather nice device so why …

I’ve been reviewing and using snap on style cases for the last few weeks and decided it was time for a change. So for the last little while I have been using the Gear4 Flipcase, a leather wallet style case for the iPhone 5. Lets start with how …

Over the last few weeks I’ve tested numerous cases for the iPhone 5 and today is no different. This is one of my favourites so far however. It’s a “Verizon Original” and comprises a snap on shell and holster. The case is made from soft touch plastic and …

Following our review of the Samsung Galaxy Note II and the news that over 3 million units have been sold in just 37 days we bring news that Mobile Fun are now selling a range of Samsung and third party Galaxy Note 2 cases. The cases which range from …

Fancy protecting your Samsung Galaxy S3 and looking a bit flash at the same time? We tried out this rather bling Glam Case. It’s £24.99 but it’s made by Case Mate and is pretty slim. The case simply clips into place on the handset very easily indeed. The …

Companies get in touch regularly asking us to take a look at their products. It’s part of the job I favour. Recently I got a QDOS Metallics case in the post. I had an iPhone 4S which has now made it’s way to a new home, my Dad. …

It’s not often that you need an app to purchase a phone case. 3DPCase by Sculpteo is an app in the iPhone app store that allows you to partially design your own custom 3D printed iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 case.   There are a range of different designs …

Got your shiny new iPhone 5? Looking for accessories to help it along? So was I, then Mobile Fun got in touch offering their iPhone 5 Ultimate Bundle The device had only been around for about two weeks an accessories were running a little thin on the ground …

We get a number of companies approaching us daily, trying to get a mention of their latest app, handset or accessory. They’ll try a number of tricks to try and pursuade us but, apart from the promise of free donuts, we rarely cave in to these tempting offers. …

It seems quite a few of the big names in mobile phones these days are producing their own accessories, and cases. Not just as functional protective devices, but that are actually nice to look at too. Samsung are no exception, and produce cases for both the Galaxy S3 and the …

One of my personal favourite case manufacturers is Gear4 and they have been one of the first to release these stylish iPhone 5 cases and were kind enough to send me a few to show our readers. All 3 cases are “snap on the back” style cases. They …

What a mouthful that name is. What we actually have here is the newer version of the Asus Transleeve case. The original Transleeve was a single piece of material with an attachment to fit into the hinge mechanism on the Asus Transformer tablets. Asus have decided it would …

Without getting into the nitty gritty about scratching, and how vulnerable the iPhone 5 is or isn’t, quite a lot of us choose to use a case. I’ve always fancied the idea of a wallet case for my phone, particularly one that doesn’t add too much bulk..it would …

With the launch of the new iPhone now only hours away and anticipation starting to build, the first iPhone 5 cases, covers and screen protectors are now starting to appear for sale. One such screen protector is the SGP Glas.t Premium Screen Protector. Made from a “high-tension tempered glass” …

This week we’ve been given a number of iPad cases to test. This one seems to have stuck to the iPad the most so far – it’s the Pong, or just “Pong”. What’s special about it? Is it the fact that it’s presented in a posh white box? …

A few days ago we bought you news that the guys over at Mobile Fun have started to stock Google Nexus 7 Cases and Covers. One of the lines that is currently available is the SD Tabletwear Stand & Type Case and we here at Coolsmartphone have managed to …

A video released today demonstrates a previously hidden and rather useful feature on the Nexus 7 tablet. iPad and Blackberry owners will be aware of the sleep function that activates when your device is placed within a compatible case and this feature has also been included on the …

Got an iPhone? Want to get a cover for it and protect your purchase? Sure, there’s stacks to choose from, but we think this is the one to get. HMV have teamed up with the Teenage Cancer Trust to offer these branded iPhone 4/4S covers to raise both …

My hands smell of leather. It’s a strange pleasure, and I can perhaps see why there are those who wear special “driving gloves”. We asked Bugatti whether we could “review” the Veyron, pictured below.. ..they said no. Perhaps it had something to do with the two cars I’ve …

Those crazy-feathered guys and girls from Mobilefun have told us ‘We’re all still mad for a bit of Angry Birds’.  Parson’s Nose, maybe?  Perhaps not then, but they have managed to source some Angry Bird’s case for the Galaxy S3; there are 3 different designs to choose from …

Speck have been manufacturing cases for iOS devices for many years and have earned themselves a reputation as somewhat of a veteran in the market. Not a company to rest on its laurels they are constantly refining old designs whilst simultaneously releasing new ones. Read on for my …

With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy SIII only days away, the hard working people over at Mobilefun.co.uk have released images and video of the new accessories for the class leading handset. Doubling up as both a holder for the S3 and a battery charger, the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 …

I used to really loathe having to use a phone case. In the olden days I would never use one, I would drop my phone on a daily basis (approximate) and by the end of my contract my phone would be covered in cracks, scratches, sellotape and holes. …

As beautiful as modern technology can be at times there are situations where you want to ensure the protection of your pride and joy. You’re left with a choice, you can either invest in a rugged device, like the JCB Pro Smart we previewed or you can get …

The Targus Click-In is a case which, from the front, resembles Apples leather smart cover but where it differs is that it also offers protection for the back of the device for the same price. I’ve been using it for over a month, here are my thoughts. The …

Cases, eh? It seems a shame to wrap your new shiny smartphone up, adding bulk, hiding it away. On the other hand, we’ve all seen the horror of a smashed screen, normally acquired during an “energetic” evening and a few shandies. So, if you’re going to have a …

It looks like the delayed white iPhone 4 is indeed thicker than its black counterpart. I noticed on a lot of unboxing videos online that people were commenting on how the white iPhone looks bigger than the black; partly, this is down to an optical illusion. Because the …
