Foxjail Minimalism / Simple Block Diary iPhone 5 Cases Review

/

Just as we got done reviewing the card holding, wallet style Spigen Ultra Flip case, we were sent out a few more wallet style cases to dive right into. Hailing out of Seoul, Korea, Foxjail brings a few different styles to the table. First we have the Minimalism which features a two card pocket, standing function, and cash storage pocket. Coming in slightly thinner is the Simple Block Diary which carries the same card storage pocket but doesn’t have the stand feature. Foxtail was very generous sending us a bunch out so let’s check out the colors, features and impressions of these flip-style cases!

4th Design Trigger Aluminum iPhone 5 Bumper Case Review

/

4th Design's Blade 5 for the iPhone 5 was arguably a shaky new iteration of the once notorious Blade bumper for the first generation iPhone 4. We thought 4th Design later redeemed itself with the release of the T-type 3, a clean-cut aluminum bumper with a big emphasis on minimalist styling. And now, it appears as though the company has lost all of its marbles by releasing yet another aluminum machined bumper case called the Trigger. Forget about the words like 'simplistic' and 'Apple-esque' - the Trigger is one gaudy-looking, overly masculine piece of an outdoorsy fashion statement of sorts. Can it punch nails into wood? Does it open up beer bottles and turn into brass knuckles? You're about to find out in our full review down below!

Trygger Polarizer Filter Lens Clip for iPhone 5 Review

/

Accessory makers are stopping at nothing to find ways that could improve your stock device and unlocking its true potential. And this time that particular accessory comes to us in the form of a camera lens attachment geared exclusively for the iPhone 5. A company by the name of Trygger, brought its so called The Camera Clip adapter for the iPhone 5 to market thanks to Kickstarter, where the company just barely made it above its funding goal of $10K. Kickstarter has become an important platform in which great products come into fruition and find themselves on retail shelves because of demand and interest by people like us, the consumers.

Like the notable olloclip 3-in-1 lens adapter, Trygger is hoping to fill in the void and the need for a polarizer filter that would hopefully improve the quality of your photos with the tried and true help of polarizer lens filter. Should you say goodbye to your wide angle lens adapter, and start putting a polarizing filter on when shooting with your iPhone 5? Let's find out!

Seidio Obex iPhone 5 Waterproof Case Review

/

For the first time, Seidio has set foot in our humble abode with its first waterproof case for the iPhone 5 dubbed the Obex. LifeProof is no longer alone in this rapidly expanding market of slim waterproof and drop-protective cases for Apple's iPhone. Seidio's Obex and Incipio's Atlas are the two most notable, and intimidating rivals that LifeProof is now facing, and for good reason. The Obex waterproof case for the iPhone 5 had to pull out all the stops in order to win over the hearts of new iPhone 5 users looking for that next best all-proof of a protective case. We're super excited about Seidio's Obex and some of the innovative improvements it brings to the table over one of the most favorable and notorious waterproof cases made by the one and only, LifeProof. Find out how well the Obex stacks up against the Fre in our full in-depth review after the break!

Magpul Field Case for iPhone 5 Review

Magpul Field Case for iPhone 5 Review

Magpul, a company that's not as known for its iPhone cases as it is for its tactical and military-grade gear, has successfully managed to rank amongst the best case brands as far as we see it without having a greedy outlook on iPhone users whilst still producing its cases in the USA - with what we think is a more experienced and thoughtful process. Anyone who's had the pleasure of using Magpul's Field Case and Executive Field Case for the iPhone knows very well that the company's new Field Case V2 for the iPhone 5 is going to be incredibly awesome and then some.  

I know that we're really enthusiastic about Magpul's new Field Case for the iPhone 5, and we patiently awaited the release of a slightly slimmer and longer version of Magpul's Gadgetmac Editors' Choice Award-winning case to hit the market, or should I say our hands. After having used the company's iPhone 4/S iterations, I can confidently say that there's no other non-premium style cases I would rather wait months for than Magpul's extraordinary Field Case. Our full review is one click, or scroll away!

Drop DropCarbon Carbon Fiber iPhone 5 Case Review

/

Certain cases are made specifically for individual lifestyles. That is definitely what is going on here with the new DropCarbon carbon fiber iPhone 5 hard shell snap-on case by Drop. We all know there are hundreds of carbon style cases to be bought on many websites including tons of them on eBay. For example we recently reviewed the Elements Ion 5 series, which was recommended. The company Drop Electronics is known overseas, but here in the states it’s all new to us. By the looks of the packaging I knew this wasn’t your everyday average $2 case. Check out the full review below to get a closer look and see if its actually high quality craftsmanship or just another thrown in your draw case!

Mophie Juice Pack Helium Review

/

Mophie's long-awaited battery case for the iPhone 5 has arrived. The Juice Pack Helium follows a close line made by its iPhone 4/S predecessors that boasts a familiar and favorable design. Mophie is considered to be the name when it comes to picking up an iPhone battery case. Now while Mophie's Juice Pack line of battery cases aren't known to carry the largest internal battery capacities on the market, we think they have a lot to give despite the fact. Juice Packs are generally the most reliable and pleasing to use iPhone battery cases, so naturally we have very high expectations for the new Helium model. Be sure to catch up on our full review down below if your iPhone 5 is in need for an extra serving of Mophie juice!
