My Review

I wanted to try a stylus for my Nexus 5 and Nexus 10. I have no trouble using my finger on my tablet however my mother struggles with hers. She has long nails and she hasn't grasped the "using the pad of your finger and not the tip of your nail" idea. My mother has a Nexus 5 phone and an iPad 2. Because this device is not brand specific I figured it would be a great addition for her.

Being a professional woman with a job in the industry and direct reports I figured that this 4-in-1 combination would be perfect! She loves that she can use the stylus as a pen on her device and carry it with her in her purse to use as a pen also. The laser pointer could come in handy for meetings. To be honest, it's been more fun using it with the cat though. The LED light has come in handy when trying to find things in your purse too.

The stylus is like all stylus' I have seen and used before and is a piece of plastic with a bubble of hair under it. That being said, it can be ruptured and if it is, it is not effective on any device anymore. With so many uses, this 4-in-1 stylus, ball point pen, LED light, and laser pointer has been fun, useful, helpful, and overall satisfying to use. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Magnetic Phone Mount Review

Magnetic Phone Mount- Amazon

This top rated magnetic phone mount has a futuristic design and will work with many different types of smartphones, eliminating the need to use bulky clamps as with standard phone mounts.

This phone mount offers extreme suction. It really sticks! Industry-leading suction gel will stick on almost any flat surface. If gel loses stickiness, simply rinse under water and air dry to restore the suction. You can attach it to your windshield, dashboard, office desk, kitchen counter or even your golf cart!

The stand offers versatile maneuverability. The contact surface with the phone can rotate 360° and swivel from side to side, allowing you to find the perfect viewing angle. The magnetic top is reversible so you can brace a larger device against the base for additional stability. No other type of phone cradle can boast this!

When you buy this magnetic phone mount from Infernal Innovations you receive a bonus gift too! While the magnet mount sticks almost anywhere, no suction cup sticks to 100% of dash boards with textured surfaces. As a free bonus, Infernal Innovations has included an adhesive disk (a $5.99 value) just in case you need it. Infernal Innovations stands by their product and offer a risk-free 5-year warranty. Yes! FIVE years! This magnetic phone mount protects your phone too. The rubberized contact surface works with the magnets so that your phone is protected from scratches and so that it won't slide off! The four strong magnets provide the piece of mind that your phone will be held gently but firmly. Exactly where you need it to stay. There are multiple ways of inserting the metal plate which guarantees that you will be able to use your phone with this product! Simply hold your device near the magnetic head and it will attach firmly to the phone mount.

I personally do not use my phone as a GPS. I have a Garmin GPS to get me places and I bought it before I had a smart phone with these capabilities. I do however, have a lot of friends who use their smart phones as a GPS helping them navigate which I could see all kinds of uses for this mount for! I think I may be thinking too small though! Yes, this device will allow you to set up your phone to be used as a GPS but it can be used for so much more! Especially with many states enforcing hands free laws, this magnetic phone mount will aid in keeping drivers using their devices hands on the wheel.

This magnetic phone mount is very easy to assemble and was ready in a matter of seconds on my windshield. The magnetic component of this device is fantastic! It is easy to put in place and easy to remove from the mount but it did not slip or move position one bit when I didn't want it to. This mount allows me to give my full attention to the road and not worry about who texted or called me.

I don't like to text and drive, big shock for someone in my age bracket, but it makes me feel unsafe and it's illegal too so, why not avoid it! This device allows me to see my incoming texts and if necessary I can follow up with a phone call. All hands free thanks to the "OK, Google...." feature on my phone and the voice commands in my Dodge Journey.

To apply this magnetic phone mount to your windshield or dashboard (without the adhesive disc):

1. Pull lever up
2. Place the magnetic phone mount where you would like it to be
3. Push the lever back down

That's it, done! The mount is attached to your dashboard or windshield. I wasn't able to use it on a slanted curved surface, but it works on a flat or slanted surface. To attach your phone to the mount:

1. Remove phone case
2. Place magnet on back of phone
3. Replace phone case
4. Place phone on magnetic phone mount

The magnet is very thin so there is no bulge under the case. I have a case that has a silicone case then a hard plastic case too and I don't notice a difference in the case. I have not experienced any difference in functionality in my Nexus 5 or even WiFi with this magnet in place. There is no effect on functionality.

I love that I don't have to attach the magnetic phone mount permanently to my vehicle or the magnet to my phone! Because it's not permanent, I can move it from car to car or phone to phone which is a major plus for me! I found this magnetic phone mount much easier to use than other bracket-like phone holders that need constant adjustment before each use.

As long as you're not making rash movements or roll the vehicle or something, this magnetic phone mount will keep your phone in place on the dash. I found that shaking the holder released the hold of the magnet however this case will hopefully not be seen in any use case.

Nexus 5 Review

LG Google Nexus 5 32 GB- Amazon

Of all the smartphones I have ever owned, the Nexus 5 definitely is at the top of the list. The phone has a sleek design and it feels great in your hand, with or without a case! I have owned this phone for about six months now and I still love it as much as the first day when I took it out of the box! It still performs great and keeps up very well thanks to it's Snapdragon 800 Quad-core processor. I have only had issues with the phone on an application side when a specific application freezes or doesn't meet expectations.

The camera on this phone performs amazingly when there is great lighting and takes some really nice pictures thanks to the HDR+ mode. Like most other cameras, however night time images come out grainy, sadly those pictures are not up to par with other smartphone cameras in the market. Give it great lighting and it produces some really astonishing images for a phone.

Google Now really pushes this phone to what smartphones can do with its constant reminders, traffic updates, interests on the internet based off of your search results an voice recognition. By saying "Okay Google..." you have access to the entire internet and the applications on your phone by voice command. If you're not using it yet, START!

I highly recommend this phone over any other android phone just because of it's clean Android feel. Plus buying it direct from Amazon rather than through your carrier ensures you don't have all those bulky applications that you can't remove!

This phone is slightly bigger than my last phone coming in at 4.95 inches vs. my last phone at 3.5 inches. Overall it is slightly bigger and as a female, I already knew it wasn't going to fit in any of my pockets (does fit in my back pocket, just not my front pockets). But I love the added screen real estate so I can't complain.

Batter life out of the box is phenomenal and I have been getting two days of use out of one charge, much better than my previous phone. The drawback of the battery is that it is not replaceable but a portable charger works well with it.

This phone also works with wireless charging which is really cool. I bought a wireless charger when I bought this phone and it works great. The drawback being that with a case (one that actually protects the phone) the locking positioning doesn't work as well.

My Review

ZORAA Voltii II - Amazon

I have tried external chargers like this one in the past and I was very disappointed. They just didn't work with my old phone (a T-Mobile MyTouch Q, it slid open and had a keyboard and it was a POS.) Since I got a new phone recently (a Nexus 5) I figured a back charger was worth a try again. I was excited to see that this charger works for the Nexus line too because I have both a Nexus 5 phone and a Nexus 10 tablet.

First, I love that this charger comes with the bonus $28 worth of gifts. There is a silk bag which can be used to transport the charger, the cords, and the plugs. A wall charger to get the external battery charger charged at home and a car charger to charge while on the go plus the cords to charge both Apple devices and Android devices. Another big perk, the ZORAA Voltii charger uses the same cords to charge itself as it does to charge your device so the wall and car chargers can be used to charge your device directly too!

This device is great for carrying in your pocket or purse. It is about an inch (ish) wide and four inches (ish) long. As for the title of the Amazon listing, I'm not sure it really is the "World's Smallest High Quality External Battery Pack" but it is small and it does work! And using the battery is SO simple!

To charge it:

1. Connect it to any USB power source using either the included cable or any other standard-to-micro USB cable (computer USB port, an AC powered USB charger, or another USB external battery, etc.)
2. Status light lights up (red while charging, blue when it's done.)

To use it charge your device:

1. Connect the appropriate cable to the standard USB port on the batter and plug the other end of the cable into the device you want to charge.
2. Turns on automatically.
