As the whole thing zips up, it’s one of few cases that completely protects the iPad whilst in transit. Read on for my full review of the BookBook for iPad Pro after the jump … First things first. This case is thick and pretty heavy; that’s the physical nature of something that looks like a bound hard-cover book. It’s also sort of meant to be seen — aside from some zip pulls, it would fit in on an actual library bookshelf....

We’ve been testing out Twelve South’s Magic Trackpad + Apple wireless keyboard unifier for some time now and in short: it’s awesome. The Magic Wand works as advertised and is incrediblity simple to set up and start using. Simply slide your wireless keyboard and magic trackpad into the aluminum bar, push in the piece of supplied rubber to keep both input devices in place, and you’re set. Many users of the wireless keyboard and trackpad with their Mac desktops have long noticed that the trackpad tends to slide far from the keyboard....

The first round of Apple Watch stands were just that, accessories designed to keep your Apple Watch from rubbing against your nightstand or desk. This month, we officially moved into the second wave — powered Apple Watch docks — with the release of Boostcase’s Bloc and Nomad’s Pod ($60). Boxy, flat, and long, Bloc was a clean design with questionable practicality, but Pod makes a lot more sense: like the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable it holds inside, it’s a partially metal and partially plastic puck you can easily take anywhere and use to charge any Apple Watch....

There’s also something of a question hanging over why people have been buying the Note, the Note II and now the Note 3 in droves. Yes, the stylus is a cool piece of tech. I get it, you can scribble notes and produce sketches and crop text and annotate screenshots and drag windows around and have a lot of fun. All in something that’s the tech fan’s wildest dream, spec-wise....

Today we’re taking a look at Apple’s 6th generation iPod touch for 2015 and determining whether or not it’s worth the money. It’s been a while since the iPod touch has been refreshed and even though it’s a minor one, this time around it brings along some important changes. If you’ve had Apple’s iPod touch on your must-have gadget list, there are a few things you need to know… The packaging is exactly the same and you won’t find much inside, but getting into the box, we have the 6th generation iPod touch front and center....

The CW’s Riverdale spinoff pilot Katy Keene has officially begun filming. An adaptation of the Archie Comics, Riverdale puts a stylish noir spin on Archie Andrews and the other residents of The Town With Pep, and has continued to explore other dark genres (crime-thriller, murder mystery) since it premiered in early 2017. The popular show has further given rise to a spinoff TV series in the form of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, which was set-up to air on The CW before it moved to Netflix (which streams Riverdale outside the U....

Native Union is best known for making tech accessories that feature stand out designs with a dash of fashion. Its latest product continues that trend by mixing attractive materials and fun patterns with a low profile wireless charging pad for iPhone and Qi-compatible devices. Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger also happens to compliment the space gray HomePod perfectly… It takes a lot for a Qi pad to stand out — especially when bargain basement price options are available online — but Native Union’s Drop Wireless Charger is worth consideration if you care about how it looks....

Director Rian Johnson shares the creative thought process on his decision to make sure Star Wars: The Last Jedi is different from its predecessors. The eighth film in the Skywalker saga and second one from the sequel trilogy, the film followed up J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens two years prior. It earned an impressive $1.3 billion at the global box office, making it a smash hit. But while many loved it due to its bold storytelling, it also gained criticism from the massive fan community, making it one of the most divisive blockbusters in recent years....

The Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra, quite a mouthful for a name, is clearly the most powerful robot vacuum I have ever tested with the first complete system I’ve used where I am required to have very few interactions with the system to get the job done. Give it a few more years, and I won’t have to do anything to maintain clean floors. Speaking of clean floors, mine have never been so clean as they were after the S7 MaxV Ultra, so for this device, you definitely get what you pay for....

Even though I’ve had a fair bit of experience with video projectors, I took Celluon’s PicoPro somewhat for granted when I reviewed it this January. I praised the pocket-sized projector, which squeezed a 720p laser video display and speaker into the footprint of an iPhone 6 Plus, but I didn’t triple-underscore how much easier it was to use than most of its rivals. PicoPro worked so well and so quietly with such little effort that I hardly thought about it....

Friends have often expressed surprise at the fact that I continue to use wired headphones. My beautifully-portable and much-loved Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones go with me almost everywhere, while my Master & Dynamic MH40s are my go-to headphones in the living room. Friends know my aversion to visible cables, and I’m usually an ‘any excuse for a gadget’ type guy, so why, they ask, do I continue to wear wired headphones?...

As someone who uses timeline-based apps such as Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X on a regular basis, horizontal display real estate is incredibly important to me. When it comes to editing video and audio, the bigger the monitor the better. With the recent popularity of extra-wide 21:9 monitors, I’ve come to understand that width can make a major difference in managing timeline-based editing workflows as well. The extra horizontal real estate is also a nice option for watching movies shot with a 2....

When I tried the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, one of the things that put me off was the quality of the keyboards available at the time. The only one I could get hold of on day one was the Logitech Create, which I found ugly and not a great typing experience. The Apple Smart Keyboard, that I got to try later, was a bit prettier but still not fantastic to type on....

The Ring Floodlight Cam, a wired model merging outside lights and a security camera, is available for $139, a discount of $60 (30%) off its typical $199 retail price. Ring is a well-known vendor in the smart doorbell and home security camera space. Over the years, the company has developed a range of solutions and the Floodlight Cam is one of the newest in the collection. The Ring Floodlight cam does need wired installation, but once set up – perhaps, in your garden or at your front porch – users can record footage in 1080p HD video, check in via a real-time view, and can speak to visitors (or unwanted guests) directly....

Warning: This story has spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker writer Chris Terrio reveals the film’s ending is meant to rectify Luke and Leia’s separation in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The Rise of Skywalker caps off the decades-long saga by closing the door on the Skywalker line. The massive finale of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker earned mixed reviews, finding itself with lower audience and critics scores than previous installments....

Riverdale’s Betty Cooper is everything we’d want a present-day version of the character to be. Like in Archie Comics, she’s warmer than freshly baked pie at Pop’s and her high ponytails are on point. However, the reason why she’s a Riverdale fan favorite is because she’s way more of a badass than in the comics. Betty doesn’t take crap, and is a budding detective. Who wouldn’t want to hang with the youngest Cooper?...

Halloween’s Michael Myers is known to be an unstoppable killing machine, but Rob Zombie’s take on the material got pretty close to offing the Shape, which could have been a good thing for the franchise. Michael Myers is the type of slasher villain who always takes a heavy amount of damage. Throughout the films, he has collectively endured barrages of gunfire, severe fire damage, and copious amounts of stabbing. In spite of all of this carnage, none of it ever seems to stick with Michael....

Rocket Raccoon and Groot have one of the best relationships in all of Marvel. Whether it’s in the comics or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Rocket and Groot always have each other’s backs thanks to an unbreakable bond between the Guardians of the Galaxy members. In their most recent adventure, the two end up bonding in the more literal sense as Groot protects an extremely fragile Rocket by literally becoming his armor....

Normally, I deal with price at the end of reviews, but there are times when you have to address it right at the beginning – and this is definitely one of those times. One way of looking at the price of the Yohann iPad stand is that it’s a rather small piece of wood costing $130. A different way of looking at it would be to say that it costs almost exactly the same amount as Apple charges for another iPad accessory: the leather sleeve for the 10....
