The Bluetooth speaker category has reached its saturation but folks at iHome want to revive that category by their iBN6 waterpoof speakers. You can use these with your iPhone, iPad or iPod since all have built in Bluetooth radios.

Review: iHome iBN6 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

The iHome iBN6 costs 100 dollars and was shown off at CES 2014. There are there things that make the iHome iBN6 Bluetooth speaker so special. First is the fact that it IPX7 certified. Second it has a edgy new body and third, all of this is being offered at a very affordable price tag.

It measures 6 x 4.5 x 2.7 inches and has two 1.25 inch front facing drivers. There is also a 2.5 inch circular bass driver on its back.

You get a 3.5mm cable and micro USB charger in the box. The entire chassis is made of rubber that forms a grid of volume. 

So how is the sound quality? It is excellent thanks to the three speaker array iHome has been able to squeeze in three speakers inside its small chassis.

You can use it for phone calls and there are dedicated buttons for answering and ending phone calls on the unit.

Boyue T61 E-ink Android Tablet specifications, excellent but lacks application store

Boyue T61 E-ink Android tablet is a rebranded version of Illumina ereader which is apparently sold by Dutch retailer. It was launched last fall with pretty decent specifications.

The Boyue T61 E-Ink specifications include  6″ Pearl HD E-ink screen with front light, touchscreen, Android 4.2, 1 GHz dual core processor with 512MB RAM, 4GB internal storage, a micro SD card slot, and Wi-Fi.

All those features make it an excellent E-Ink tablet. There is no mention of Play Store on it so it is safe to assume that it would not come with any.

Supported reading formats include Epub, PDF, FB2, and Mobi. Of course since it runs Android you can install your favorite APK on it and use any ereading app you want.

Boyue T61 E-ink Android Tablet specifications

However it ships with several applications pre installed including file manager, drop box, web browser and email client. Selling price is 119 euros including shipping. Boyue T61 E-ink tablet does not come with a retail box but was packed in a plain styro-foam box. This is chiefly done to keep the price down.

Nokia CP-623 Review, official case cover for Lumia 1520

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is an amazing phone and for many of us, protecting its massive 6 inch full HD display is top priority. What better way to protect it other than using the official Lumia 1520 CP-623 cover.

Nokia CP-623 Review, official case cover for Lumia 1520

Nokia offers the case in three colors – black, red and yellow and costs around $40. The Nokia CP-623 for Lumia 1520 is bit expensive accessory but it does its job well in protecting the display when you place it in your pocket.

official case cover for Lumia 1520

The back cover is made of hard plastic and it does a great job from bumps and drops. It also prevents the big lens of its 20MP camera from getting scratched.

official review of lumia 1520 case

The back cover flops around a bit but can be rolled back allowing the user to use it as kickstand. This makes it perfect for watching YouTube and movies on the big screen of the Lumia 1520.

Nokia CP-623 Review

The case has been well designed and it does block any ports. All buttons including camera, power and volume control buttons are accessible even when the flap is closed which is  a massive plus.

So do we recommend the Nokia CP-623? Well for basic protection, it gets the job done. The design is not exactly unique and stricking like Lumia 1520’s design. But since it is an official accessory for the Lumia 1520, it does fits perfectly. Another big plus is it does not add any bulk or thickness.
