Galaxy Alpha S view flip case review

Samsung Galaxy Alpha S View flip case is an expensive case that brings front screen protection to the tablet. It also promises to add a lot of classiness to the already classy design of Galaxy Alpha. The Galaxy Alpha S view flip case is ideal for checking the time or answering or rejecting phone calls without opening the case. We have reviewed the black Galaxy Alpha S view flip case that goes well with our black Galaxy Alpha.

Galaxy Alpha S view flip case review

The Galaxy Alpha S view flip case fits the phone so well and it becomes a part of the phone by replacing the back cover. This keeps the overall profile of Galaxy Alpha super thin and the window indeed gives a whole new aspect.

Replaces the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. Provides full screen protection without additional bulk

You can change the background color of your S-View screen too. For doing that, open the flip cover and go to Settings > Lock screen and change the color of S-View window.

View and action incoming calls and messages. Intelligent colour system customises your S-View screen

Another benefit is that you will be able to take pictures without opening the flip. You will also be able to change music tracks as well. You can find both of these options by swiping to the right.

Durable construction offers premium protection for your screen. Official Samsung accessory made for the Galaxy Alpha

The only thing that we did not like about S View flip case is wireless charging. For that you must use the Samsung Galaxy Alpha wireless charging back cover. If wireless charging does not matter to you, simply stop dithering and just get it. It is indeed worth every penny.

New Caudabe Veil for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Review

Caudabe has updated their Veil iPhone case with a ridge around the camera in order to protect the camera ring. Priced at just 14.95 dollars, the Caudabe Veil is very thin and looks mega sleek. It is just 0.35 mm thick and is made for those who truly appreciate the beauty of the iPhone’s industrial design.

New Caudabe Veil for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Review

The Caudabe Veil is made of very soft plastic material that does not scratches the device. I have already removed it countless times as I often change cases on my iPhone. It is very form fitting too – there is absolutely no wobble when using it.

New Caudabe Veil for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

The major rival of Caudabe Veil is Spigen Air Skin since both have similar look and feel but we prefer using the Caudabe Veil as it has improved camera cut out. The only complaint I have is that there are not enough frost colors available.

Does the Touch ID works with sweaty fingers on iPhone?

Touch ID is one of the best ways to enhance the security on the iPhone but does it work with sweaty fingers? Well on my iPhone 6 Plus I have noticed that even the smallest amount of wetness on my thumb makes the touch ID useless. Not only me but my friends who sweat a lot have noticed this.

So that is how it works – any kind of moisture on your finger and the Touch ID will have trouble recognizing it. Another interesting find – the one on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is more responsive than one on iPhone 5S. On the 5S, the sensor simply refuses to recognize the fingerprints even if they are not very sweaty.

So there goes it – if you are a kind of person that gets clammy hands really easy then Touch ID will become useless and it can be very annoying. Touch ID does not play well with the moisture. Fortunately you can quickly enter the passcode in such scenario.

Does the Touch ID works with sweaty fingers on iPhone

When your hands are dry, you will love Touch ID as it is extremely fast. Sometimes you will find that the screen is still fading on and my phone is already unlocked.

EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard review: should you get it?

I have used a lot of data recovery softwares in the past to retrieve my deleted documents. Recently I stumbled upon EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard which is designed with an average Joe in mind. This free recovery tool allows you to scan the entire storage devices and recover the deleted and lost files easily and effectively.

The software scanned all of my drives quicker than the rivals which is great considering the fact that the EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard is a free file recovery software that works with all types of storage devices. You can use it to recover your solid state drive, HDD, flash drive and even good old CF (compact flash) cards. Not only storage devices, you can recover lost or deleted emails with it too.

EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard review

To get started simply download and install its small setup on your windows or mac computer. Then double click on its shortcut icon to start the app. Then select the file type you would like the EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard to recovery, for instance I wanted to recover a deleted MP3 file, so I selected Audio. In case you are not sure of the file type, select the checkbox that says “all file types”. This will show you list of the deleted or lost files irrespective of file type. Then click on Next button.

EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard

If you are able to recall the location of the document, you can help the app by pin pointing its location. This will great reduce the time to find the deleted file. I had stored that MP3 on my CF slot and selected it from the list since the app supports cf card recovery too. Pinpointing this will help you to find the desired file quickly. In case the app is unable to find the file, do not fret as it supports deep scan mode where it will use its advanced algorithms to find the harder-to-find deleted files. When you have found the deleted file, simply press the Recover button to commense the recovery process.

Verdict – EaseUs Data Recovery Wizard is an excellent app for recovering deleted and lost files. It will save you time, money and in many cases – your reputation too.
