TravelCard
We’ve seen many portable chargers for smartphones, but none of them is quite as portable as this one. TravelCard is a breakthrough charger for iPhone and Android devices that fits right in your wallet. Sized like a credit card, TravelCard is very easy to carry around.

TravelCard
TravelCard is small in size but quite big when it comes to function. It will give you up to: 5 hours of talk time, 4 1/2 hours of Internet usage and up to 98 hours of standby time! It’s  3/16″ (4.77mm) thick, weighs just 2 oz and sized exactly like a credit card, so it will fit naturally in your wallet. The body of TravelCard is made of lightweight aircraft aluminum, available in 4 colors: black, white, silver and sapphire blue.

TravelCard is definitely an essential accessory to have for any smartphone user (basically everyone!). Charging your phone on the go has never been this easy. And with an aircraft aluminum body, you don’t have to worry about the durability of TravelCard at all.

You can pre-order your TravelCard for iPhone or Micro-USB devices on Kickstarter.com for only $40. Buy it here

Truffol Review
Last month, we’ve held a giveaway for Truffol leather skins iPhone / Samsung Galaxy S4 and 15 lucky winners received their choice of model and color! The nice guys at Truffol were also kind enough to send me a couple of skins to try out for this review.

What Is the Truffol Autograph Leather Skin?

It’s a genuine leather skin with an adhesive back that you can easily apply on the back of your phone. It’s simple yet very beautiful, it instantly classes up your phone. The skin is precisely cut to fit your phone perfectly, and it’s only 0.6mm in thickness, so it doesn’t add any weight or thickness to your phone.

Truffol Review
What you get in the packages is:

  • The leather skin.
  • a complimentary screen protector, microfiber cloth and dust removal tool.

How To Apply the Skin:

It’s a pretty straight forward task. Simply peel the plastic off the adhesive back and gently apply the skin on your phone. The adhesive is good for a number of uses, not quite sure how many, but I did take it off and on again at least 5 to 6 times and it’s still holding on very well. I would advice that you keep the protective plastic in case you ever want to take the skin off and use it again at a later time. I was pleased to find out that my iPhone 5S fit nicely into the case I had even with the skin on (I use a Spigen Slim Armor Case) so you might not even need to take the skin off.

Truffol iPhone Skin Logo
Quality and Feel of the Autograph Leather Skin:

The quality is certainly of high standard. The nice smell of leather will hit you as soon as you open that package. It also has a grained texture to it that feels nice in hand. The bottom of the skin holds the logo of Truffol either in stainless steel or rose gold, depending on the color of the leather.

Truffol offers a free personalization service for the Autograph leather skin. You can have up to three letters embossed on it to make it more your own.

It’s important to note that the Truffol Autograph leather skin is not meant to be protective. Of course, it will protect the back of your phone from scratches, but this isn’t something you buy for overall protection against drops for example. That said, your phone will definitely look much better than having a case on it. I’ve already gotten so many positive comments on mine.

As I already have a screen protector on my phone, I did not apply the complimentary protector I received with the skin, so I won’t be commenting on that.

Autograph
The Autograph Leather Skin is available in four colors, and in two variants: Standard or Card, which has a pocket good for holding a credit card or a driver’s license. You can get it for your iPhone 5/5S or Samsung Galaxy S4 for only $18 or $22 for the Card version.

DOSH Syncro
If you’re not familiar with DOSH, it’s an Australian designer brand that specializes in modern wallets that are minimal in design yet very functional and quite innovative. DOSH wallets aim to help you get rid of any excess baggage and streamline the contents you carry with you, which may count as a small but great change in your daily routine.

Today we’ll be looking at one of DOSH’s newest wallets, the Syncro iPhone 5/5S wallet, which was provided to me by DOSH for this review.

Syncro Wallet
I’ve been using the Syncro wallet with iPhone 5S for about a week now and got a good use of it so far. The wallet is basically a TPU iPhone sleeve with outer pockets on both sides for carrying your credit cards and cash. The TPU material of the wallet is quite solid, it feels soft, it’s water resistant and it should be very durable and can withhold any use and abuse.

The main compartment holds your phone securely in place. It is snug enough that your phone won’t move or accidentally slip out. I’ve shook it quite hard, held it upside down, shook it again and the iPhone remained in place. Yet, when you pull your phone out, it will come out easily. I’m not sure what is happening inside the Syncro that keeps everything tight in place, but it works perfectly.

Syncro Wallet Pocket
The external pockets are quite useful, too. It can hold up to 6 cards total, 3 per pocket. It can also hold some cash notes and they’ll fit securely in place. I’ve first tested the pocket with a card then I added another one. Having less than 3 cards in a pocket, the cards will feel loose inside. At first, I thought this could be an issue. However, even though the two cards were loose inside the pocket, they did not fall off when I held the wallet upside down or when I shook it. Because there’s a bit of a hollowness to the pockets, your cards will remain inside and will not slip.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the DOSH Syncro wallet for iPhone 5/5S. I’m quite surprised with how simple the design is and how perfectly it works. It is lightweight and most probably much lighter than your current wallet. The material is of great quality that you don’t have to worry about it wearing out any time soon. It is made in locally in Australia of 100% recyclable material.  Like most iPhone wallets, you won’t be able to fit in an iPhone with a case on it. This could be a deal breaker for some people, it’s not an issue for me personally though.

The DOSH Syncro Wallet is available in 8 colors. You can buy it for $69.95 with free worldwide delivery at doshbrand.com. Buy it here

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Air Cushioned iPhone5_5s Case
Another excellent choice from Spigen, this case is perfect either for someone how is looking for a minimal look yet tough protection, or someone who wants to easily customize and always change the design of their case. The Ultra Hybrid case, just like the Spigen Tough Armor, features air cushions that protect your iPhone against accidental drops without adding any bulk or weight to the case. You can leave it on as a clear case for a minimal look, or you can use one of Spigen’s design graphics, which are designed to match iOS 7’s default wallpapers. Buy it here

Graphic Skins:

Each pack of these includes 4 graphic skins that will match a set of wallpapers already available on iOS7. Buy it here

SPIGEN SGP SGP10490 Tough Armor Case for iPhone 5_5SSPIGEN SGP SGP10490 Tough Armor Case for iPhone 5_5S_

You can’t risk having your iPhone break, not only it is valuable on its own but we use it to manage our daily lives from little daily tasks, home and work tasks and even to protect our more valuable possessions like our cars or pets. While most fully protective iPhone cases are bulky and basically ruin the design and aesthetic of your iPhone, this case by Spigen is fully inspired by the iPhone design itself. The case is only 1.5mm thick, it features a special Air Cushion technology that protects your iPhone from drops without adding bulk to the case. It is also fully compatible with Touch ID, unlike most protective cases that make it harder to press the home button. Spigen’s Tough Armor will protect your iPhone 5/5s fully without sacrificing any style or features of your iPhone, or adding any weight or bulk to it. Available in 5 colors. $24.99 Buy it here
