So, what is Solavei? Solavei is a new Social Commerce company that is providing $49/mo Unlimited Voice, Text, and Data 4G Nationwide contract-free wireless service.

     Will the new Logic3 Ferrari Audio Collection be worth it?  That is a great question!!  Overall I am not the biggest fan of Logic3 accessories, mainly because they look really cool on the website but cheap when you get them in your hand.  That's not to say the products don't work because they do, they just seem like they are made of "lesser quality materials," than maybe Speakal or iHome products.  

     The following can be found on Logic3's website concerning the release of the headphones/earphones:

 

"The Scuderia Ferrari Headphones and Earphones offer sleek design and high-quality audio, accompanied by superior comfort level in and on the ears. Mirroring Ferrari’s F1 styling, the whole collection is available in the following formats:

 

 

 

• The R200 On-Ear Headphones are available in silver or white (£199)
• The P200 Over-Ear Headphones pay tribute to those worn in the F1 pits, are available in red or black (£199)
• The R100  and R100i  Earphones, which feature TFAT and noise isolating technology, are available in black or white (£119)
• The S100 and S100i Earphones, which feature TFAT and noise isolating technology, are available in red or white (£99)

 

The Ferrari Cavallino Headphones and Earphones deliver a premium audio experience coupled with sumptuous comfort. With a focus on fine materials and detail, the collection is available in the following formats:

• The T250 On-Ear Headphones are available in black or tan (£229)
• The T150  and T150i Earphones, which feature TFAT and noise isolating technology are available in black or tan (£149)
• The G150 and G150i Earphones, which feature TFAT and noise isolating technology are available in black or white (£129)"

 

 

If the headphones/earphones are as good as the company says they are, they will be a great addition to anyones accessories cabinet.  As for me, I am going to wait and see.  I would rather test them out a little before I give a thumbs up or thumbs down.  Being that headphones with wires are on the rise again thanks to Beats By Dre, Logic3 may begin to see some love from those here in the States.  I guess we will have to wait and see.  Until next time.

     Otterbox has released it's new Anthem Series Cases just in time for the 2012 Olympic Games iwhich are being held n London beginning July 27th.  If you haven't seen these new beauties click here to check them out.  These are by far some of the best Country base themed cases I have seen in a long time.  I even like the one for Canada.  

     Otterbox seems to be stepping their game up wtih the release of several new lines like the Studio Series, Anthlem Series, the new colors for the iPad Otterbox, and of course the Armor Series which boast the ability to withstand a 20 ft drop, 10 ft of water, and 2 tons of pressure.  I CAN'T wait to get this case in my hands!!  

     Overall it looks like Otterbox is trying to maintain their TOP DOG status within the accessories market and if they keep producing more top notch cases like their new lines, companies like LifeProof, Trident, and Ballistc may become just things of the past.  Stay tuned as I am sure this war is just heating up!!  Until next time.

 

Much love,

     Lately, I (Shawn) have been racking my brain to figure out how we have gotten off track as a company from our original goals of being the best source of smart technology accessory information on the internet.  While I can point to many things, I think the biggest reasson is because we were trying to do too much instead of just focusing on our passion which is:  Accessories.  

     We love technology but what we love more is finding the best accessoreis for the technology we love so much.  Whether it's for the iPhone, iPad, or even the Kindle, we strive to find the best accessories and give our customers the best information possible that will help them meet the needs they have for thier smart technology devices.  

     Over all we are returning to the basics:  We are accessory junkies.  We LOVE them!!  We sit around and talk about them in the office.  We play with them during the day.  We even run them over with 18 wheelers: So, be looking for TONS of new content covering cases, bluetooth devices, and more.  We want Zellatek to be the place consumers can trust for acurate and reliable information that will help them make the best decisions possible when it comes to the accessories they are looking for.  Thanks to everyone who have ordered, commented on, and subscribed to Zellatek.  We appericiate it more than we can say!!

 

Sincerely,

A new iPhone 5 release date rumor has hit the internet. This time an August launch has been speculated for Apple, based on a report from a Taiwanese tech Web site. Also included in the speculation is a rumored spec upgrade in the form of a A5X chip, which was used in the iPad 3 tablet.

According to International Business Times of Australia, Digitimes website from Taiwain has reported that Apple may launch the new iPhone in August. The reason for Apple to release in August would be to go up against their strong competitor, Samsung, and its updated batch of smartphones on the market.

The IBTimes website notes:

"It seems that tech giant Apple is threatened by the continuously rising sales of Samsung Galaxy S3 as well as the piling rumours that its rival company will be releasing another smartphone in fall."

     Have you ever wondered if that GPS app you downloaded actualy works?  We have been trolling the net looking for stories on the success rate of iPhone users getting their phones back by using a GPS enabled app.  Below are the Top 5 stories (in no particuar order) that caught our attention and we thought you would like to check out.  Enjoy!!

 

5.  iPhone GPS aids in capture of car theft suspect.  

     If you are going to steal a car in the near future, you may want to make sure that there is not an iPhone anywhere in the car!!!  While I am sure the criminal in question probably thought he not only was getting a ride but also a free phone.  What he got instead was a night in county jail.  

 

iPhone GPS app:  1  Criminal:  0

4.  GPS app leads officers to stolen iPhone. 

     First off if you are going to steal an iPhone WHY would you pawn it at a pawn shop?  You wil get WAY more money by selling it to a loser friend then you would over selling it to a pawn shop.  Really folks!!  Does this kid have any brain matter inside his head?  An iPhone EASILY goes for several hundred dollars online depending on the condition but selling it to a pawn shop is just stupid!!  

 

iPhone GPS app:  2  Criminal:  0

3.  Mugging victim tracks suspects via iPhone's GPS.

     I would have loved to have seen this  confrontation.  

Muggers:  HAHAHAH dude we totally loaded up!!  Check it out!!  AN IPHONE!!

Victim:  Excuse me I believe that all belongs to me!!

Police:  Are these the suspects sir?  

Victim:  Yes.

Police:  Looks like you will be spending the night in jail gentleman.  

 

iPhone GPS app:  3  Criminal:  0

2.  iPhone GPS helped police track down thief.  

     You would think that people would begin to wise up when it comes to the smart technology market.  I mean if you can look up great places to eat on your iPhone and get directions all at the same time, you would think that criminals would be like, "Hey we probably want to throw this phone out the window, we might be tracked."  Nope!!  Not this guy!!  Chalk one up to another great iPhone GPS app story.

 

iPhone GPS app:  4  Criminal:  0

1.  Student tracks down iPhone thief using GPS technology.

     This whole article is worth the few minutes it takes to read it as this story place out like a movie.  Someone steals a guys phone and him and his friends use a computer to locate it by GPS and tell their friends on the hunt where to go, turn, etc.  I imagine it played out like a Borne movie or 24 episode.  This by far is my favorite story on iPhone and GPS apps!!!  

 

iPhone GPS app:  5  Criminal:  0

 

     The moral of the stories above is that if you are going to spend your hard earned money on an iPhone you should equip it with a top notch GPS app in the even that it is stolen or lost.  We will highlight some of the best iPhone/Andriod GPS apps in a coming blog.  Until then.

 

Much love,

The Pros: 

I like this case because it combines protection while keeping the sleekness of the iPhone 4/4S. 

The hard rubber gives it a rubber feel while still allowing easy sliding into your pocket (not sticking like a rubber otterbox or a silicone case). Ladies might also like it because it won’t stick to their hair while they are on the phone. 

The inside has a felt covering that will keep the glass back of the phone from scratching.  If the case is just plastic or even silicone going up against the glass back, you are at risk of rubbing grooves or scratches, or getting dust/sand in the back that can also scratch the back. So, the felt on the back is a good thing to keep it safe. 

Best of all, there is a space between the case and the phone--almost like a “buffer zone.” It’s made similar to a football helmet, so if there is a shock or an impact, the force of the impact spreads around the case rather than going right to the phone. 

Is it as protective as, say, an Otter or a Trident case? No. It’s not a “tank” to use “the Guru’s” terminology. Now, if you are a paratrooper going behind enemy lines into Afghanistan, this case might not be for you. If you are a parent in the habit of giving your $500+ dollar device to a 3 year old to keep them busy, this case probably isn’t for you (and maybe an iPhone in general isn’t a good idea for you). Anyway, I digress...

If you are a reasonably careful person, this case works fine. I have even dropped mine several times. Two times while running to my car my phone fell out of my pocket and landed face down then bounced around the asphalt about 4 times.

 

Scratched the case, but the phone itself was not damaged. One time my phone landed facedown and slid across the sidewalk--the entire slide it was face down. Still, no damage to the screen. 

The Cons: 

The bad thing about the skech case is that much like most quality cases, there is limited selection on styles. There are no graphics or logos available. I have found that most cases with some of the cooler graphics and logos seem to spend more time and effort on the look of the case rather than on the functionality and protection of the case. So, unfortunately, you have to choose if you want your case to combine protection with simplicity and sleekness, or if you want a graphic or logo on your case with cheap plastic/rubber. 

It is a two-piece case, so the bottom does come off. That could mean disaster, and usually does for most cases. The bottom just pops off. I do notice that the skech don't come off as easily as others. The case itself seems to fit on the entire phone, rather than just snapping together. So, the bottom doesn’t seem to come off easily, even after months of use. Two-piece cases that do have a snap seem to come off more easily with time because the snap wears out. 

 

One positive in the midst of the apparent downside of a two-piece case is that if you need to put your phone in a dock to charge and/or play music, you can take only the bottom off rather than having to take the entire case off. However, if you tend to wear more skinny jeans and you put your phone in your back pocket, there can be a chance that when you take the phone off the bottom part of the case might stay in your pocket. Not that my jeans are that skinny...but I have seen it happen with others...just saying...

 

In general, I like this case better than most. Again, I don’t like the bulky cases. I try to not put my phone through lots of turmoil. I like the look and the feel of an iphone without anything on it. If I could have no case I would. This is the best option if you are looking for good protection and keeping the sleek style of an iPhone 4/4S.
