First look: Marware Sidewinder Smart holster for iPhone

Posted on 26 July 2007 by

Video review: Eléga Pouch is impressive, but is it really sleek?

Posted on 10 July 2007 by

It's hard to judge the Eléga Pouch from the video alone, but it sure looks thick.

I had an opportunity to visit Anchorage for a day and decided to swing by and meet with the gang at the Alaska Mac Store (the site is currently down for renovation). What a great group of people.
