iPhone 5 Sleeve Review – WaterField Designs

 Technology
Oct 192012
 

Since I’m clumsy I ordered one of these the day my i received my iPhone 5.

The idea is very simple. A very strong but thin and soft suede sleeve with a stretchy net pocket (optional) stitched onto the side for headphones/cables etc.

I went for plain sleek black but there are funky animal prints available ;)

It has a handy loop at the end for pulling the phone out.

The net pocket seems strong and will probably last a while, though might over stretch with time; we’ll see.

Quality wise I am very happy and confident that it will last me a while and protect my phone, though of course the phone is vulnerable when out of the case. One of the options is to order a size slightly larger to take into account the bumpers that are available. I bought the larger size for this reason but I did go with a cheaper then apple 3rd party bumper and it sticks a bit as you pull it in and out of the case. I might have to invest in the Apple version. I had the Apple Bumper with my iPhone 4 and know that they are worth the extra money. I’m not sure it would work with big bulky cases from other suppliers.

The case is very good value and the delivery cost to the UK was good, I didn’t mind paying it since the case was on the cheap side.  It arrived within only a few days despite coming from the states. The CS was personal and friendly via the lovely Gary ;)

They are on Twitter and Facebook and happy to talk.

* For US only ;( ,,,

Swap.com, the online trading marketplace, has released a free iPhone app for trding what you have with what you want. You can use the app to scan the barcodes of items you don’t want anymore or items you see in a shop, to find out if anyone else has them available to swap.

As well as scanning items with the phone’s camera to add to your Have and Want lists you can create an account, initiate, accept, or reject swaps, fund your account via Paypal and email shipping labels from the app to print at home.

Swap.com promotes trading in favor of buying lots of new items, as most people have things at home that they no longer want. The website boasts the savings its members have made, estimated currently at $11.9 million, and also a reduced carbon footprint estimate of 10.7 million lbs.

Studio Neat — Glif for iPhone 4

I just one of these delivered today. I didn’t expect it for another week or so as it came from the States but no there it was waiting for me when I came home ;)

This is how Studio Neat describe it:

“The Glif is a simple iPhone 4 accessory with two primary functions: mounting your iPhone onto a tripod and propping up your iPhone at various angles. The Glif is made from recyclable rubberized plastic that feels great and plays nice with your phone, and is small enough to fit snugly in your pocket, purse, or backpack. It has a 1/4″-20 thread that fits any standard tripod or camera mount. The Glif is designed to work with a “naked” (caseless) iPhone 4 and is compatible with both CDMA and GSM models.”

Now I have a beautiful Gelaskin cover all over my iPhone 4 and it still fits snugly and safely.  I know and feel how annoying it is to have to keep taking the iPhone out of its case to fit into things. I had a bumper but it got stretched every time I had to take it off to plug the phone into my car stereo.

If you don’t have a case or you don’t mind that – this is a really funky little tool, small enough  to fit into a pocket and easy to carry around.  Though I think I might have to order as second one in case I lost it. It is that small.


It is very sturdy, so the iPhone is safely balanced in both portrait and landscape view. The rubber coating makes it very kind to the iPhone -  can’t see it doing any damage at all, except perhaps might wear my gelaskin out eventually.

It also has that very handing screw um thread errr so that you can atttched it to a tripod – my Gorillapod fit’s on it perfectly, thus solving the Tripod iPhone dilemna.

It comes in at £20 dollars but says free shipping if you order two ;) . I didn’t think of that at the time Doh! Order one for all your friends and save on shipping

Double Outlook contacts via LinkedIn app iPhone.

I installed the LinkedIn app on my iPhone, which I synch with Outlook. Now all LinkedIn contacts have been imported in Outlook, but lots of then already were Outlook contacts, so I have them twice. Can you tell me how to solve this problem?

Answer:

Removing the unwanted duplicate contacts is a manual process, but the following is the easiest way to do it:

In Contacts, select the contacts folder that has duplicate contacts.
