Wrapsol For iPhone 3GS

Wrapsol is an anti-scratch protection solution for your iPhone or any other gadgets you might have that gives you great protection against scratches and even gives you better grip. The Wrapsol kit comes with 2 films, one for the front screen and one for the back, what makes Wrapsol so different is that their back protection gives you iPhone a great matte look and also makes it finger print free! Also you get more grip because of the grainy texture the back protection film has, now you can have a great looking matte iPhone without any fingerprints. The front screen protector film is clear and not matte. Wrapsol makes it very easy for you to apply your protection kit onto your iPhone and within a few minutes you can be done.

After you apply the back piece I would recommend putting you iPhone into a silicone case for a few hours just to help with the corners to stay in place, you will see it’s very easy but you just need to take your time and you will have a fantastic looking iPhone, just allow a few hours to pass until the process is fully complete as per Wrapsols instructions. Wrapsols protection kit includes a very nicely sized real microfiber cloth, a flexible rubber squeegee, a glass application solution spray and a very easy to follow instruction that i did not even need to use to install my kit. I highly recommend getting this protection kit even if you are using a silicone case already. Having a Wrapsol on your iPhone might not be compatible with tight sliding cases.  Wrapsol is made in the U.S.A. Wrapsol is also available for the iPad. Price $24.95.

Etymotic HF2

The HF2 by Etymotic are very popular in the audiophile community and so are other products by Etymotic. I am very impressed by the sound quality they produce, the highs are silky crisp and clear and that makes the HF2 the ideal earphones for classical and vocal music. There is a lot of sound detail and a wide sound stage that makes you feel like your in a dream listening to your music. the bass is not strong or overpowering but very clear and precise however that makes the HF2 not so suitable for Hip-Hop music, so I cannot recommend getting these if your a basshead and want strong heavy bass.

The HF2 also feature a mic and can control your music with the touch of a button, the sound quality of the mic is also very high and clear so you will sound great to who ever your speaking with. You can also use the mic for voice memos. The build quality is outstanding, the housing has a nice matte coating. They are also very light so they are very comfortable in your ear. The HF2 comes with many ear tips including foam tips that I think are the best and most comfortable, they provide ultra sound isolation. I found the HF2 to be the best sound isolating earphones. 

In the box you get a nice handy carry pouch, ear tips and a filter changing tool with extra filters. The HF2 are available in a non headset version called the HF5 that is also costs less. The HF2 are available in 3 colors. Price is $179. Available for less on Amazon.

Sena Kutu Leather Sleeve for iPhone 3G 3GS

The Kutu case by Sena has a slim pouch design and is made from fine full grain pebble Italian leather, the Kutu is a very executive and elegant looking case for the iPhone 3G/S with detailed tan colored lining that is very subtle but still adds a lot. The overall quality is very high from the leather to the stitching, Sena is one of the best iPhone leather case makers out there. The Kutu has a very smooth and simple design, the edges are lightly rounded and it is almost identical on both sides apart from one side that had a small and almost unnoticeable embedded logo which I find very nice because it does not take anything away from the overall elegant design, and of course the pull-tab. The Kutu case also features a slim back pocket for an I.D or credit card that is also very well concealed.

So can you dock or charge your iPhone while in the case? Well not really because there is not opening only for the speaker and mic, but it will take you a second to flip your iPhone around and you will be able to charge your iPhone it the case. It is very easy to slide the iPhone into and out of the Kutu, the inside is lined with very soft padding. The Kutu offers great protection while your iPhone stays securely in place but of course some dust or lint will form on top of your iPhone because the of the pouch style top opening. The Kutu is very slim and barely adds any bulk while in your pocket. The Kutu case is available in 3 color options. Price $44.95.
