iLucky Portable Mini LED Selfie Light

I received the iLucky Portable Mini 16 LED Selfie Light through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Manual on/off switch
• Rechargeable battery 
• Works with iOS 6, 7, and 8. 
• Works with Android systems 4.0 or higher
• Works with Windows 8.0 or higher

The iLucky Portable LED Light is an okay external device to help provide better lighting for pictures.

The device can be attached to cell phones through the audio jack. It can be rotated to face front or back to provide lighting for either direction.

The light has a manual switch to turn the light on or off. The light is very bright.

Unfortunately, the adjustable light feature did not work with my Android phone. My phone did not recognize the light. The light also can not be fully plugged into the phone when a bulky case is on.

The light can be recharged using a usb port. The light charges at an average rate.

Pros:

- Provides better lighting for photos

- Bright light

- Lightweight

- Manual on/off switch

Cons:

- Easy to lose

- Doesn't fit in phone when bulky case is on

- Adjustable lighting did not work with my phone

IPhone 5/6 Light Up Charging Cable

I received the Light Blue iPhone 5/6 Light Up Charger Cable through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• 3.25Ft in length
• Lights change color 

When I first received the light up cable, I was impressed with how heawvy duty the cables seems. The cable is a thicker cord that won't break or bend as easily. 

I love the look of the cord. It's different than other cords I've tried. It's fun and adorable.  

The light up part of the cord changes colors. I love to use this cord during the day with the changing color lights. It's fun.

It's not a cord I like to use at night. I like my bedroom dark, and the lights are too bright. 

The lights don't cause the cord to get too hot or over heat if left charging a long period of time.

The cord is a decent length. It's 3.25Ft long. It's not as long as most cords I prefer to use, but it's still usable and preforms well.

Bluetooth Celfie Stick

I received the Bluetooth Celfie Stick through a promotion. 

Product Info:

• Helps up your selfie game
• Strong mount that you can move and tighten into place
• Connects to phone with bluetooth
• Shutter button is on the handle
• Comes with charging cord 
• Extends about 3 ft. 

First thing I noticed with this selfie stick was that it was apart when it arrived. The stick was very easily accessible. All parts can be tightened to ensure that your phone does not drop or fall out. 

The part that holds your phone is screwed in at the base. 

To ensure that the base is tight onto the stick, there is a spinning wheel that is attached to the screw. Spin until tight.

This tab stretches to allow you to put your phone in with a tight grip.

Sadly, my Android (Samsung Galaxy 4) does not fit in the clamp when it's in the otterbox. The clamp is a few centimeters too small. The phone does fit without the case on, which makes me nervous. iPhones, since they are thinner, shouldn't have a problem even when in a case. My iTouch fit perfectly, which is a similar size to the iPhone 5 and has an otterbox case on it. Even with the case, there was still room to spare.

This tab is located on the side of the stick at the base of where your phone is. This tab allows you to tilt the mount with your phone to any desired angle you want. Make sure you tighten this back up or your phone may drop or wiggle on the mount.

This allows you to get the perfect angle you want.

Angling the mount with this tab and extending the length of the stick allows you to get a different perspective or view in the photo each time.

The nice thing about this stick is that there is no extra remote to carry around. The stick can be bluetooth connected to your phone. The shutter button to take the photos is located on the handle.

To turn on bluetooth, slide the switch into the "On" position on the bottom of the celfie stick handle. The charging port is also located at the bottom of the handle.

Be sure to shut off the bluetooth to avoid wasting battery when it's not in use.  

I was a bit nervous trying the celfie stick out, which you can tell in the photo. I was afraid my phone would drop since it was not in it's case. With it being an Android and having an otterbox case, it was just a few centimeters too big for the mount. The amount of perspective and distance the selfie stick can get is very nice. I was impressed with how far back you can see compared to a normal selife.

5-in-1 Phone Charger

I received the 5-in-1 Home and Car Phone Charger from RIF6 LLC through a promotion.

Product Info:

• Car charger output of 26 watts (3 ports)
• Car charger can charge 2 tablets and 1 smartphone at full speed (at the same time)
• Car charger compatible with all standard cigarette-lighter sockets
• Includes: 2 dual USB wall chargers (max output 2.1 amps), one 3 port black car charger (max output 5.1 amp), and 2 micro USB 2.0 data cables (3 ft long)

When I first received this product, I was not expecting high quality cords. I had expected those small cords that are easily broken. Instead, which I'm very happy about, the kit came with thick cords that are heavy duty. They don't bend easily at either end, so it helps reduce breakage. I just wish the cords were a little longer. Three feet is good for close up distances or a few feet away. For where I charge my phone at night, it's too short to reach my bed. I still enjoy using the cords throughout the day by my computer or work stations. 

I never had a wall charger that had dual USB ports. I was amazed at how quickly it could charge two devices at once. It didn't overheat the charger or the devices either. It worked great. 

I've had a car charger with dual USB ports before, but it always made my devices hot when charging and it was very bulky. I was pleased to find that the car charger in this kit was smaller and didn't overheat or run hot. 

Overall, I believe the 5-in-1 charger kit by RIF6 LLC has high quality and works great. Makes charging multiple devices super easy without having to use up all the plug-ins.

TUO-Phone Case

I received the TUO-Phone Case through a promotion.

This phone case works for smaller phones, such as the iPhone 5 and under. iPhone 6 and Andriods do not fit in this case.

The case size is (rear pocket) 4.88 x .44 x 2.75 inches and (front pocket) 4.75 x .44 x 2.75 inches.

The phone case also works with iPods.

I have an Andriod, so this phone case doesn't fit my phone. I used it for my old broken iPod (which is what I mainly use for music) and my newer iPod (which I use for games). The phone case fit both of those iPods with their cases on. The newer iPod has an otterbox on it, so it fits in the rear pocket. The other fits with it's rubber case in the front pocket.

The leather material of the phone case is durable. The soft, velvet, inner lining helps protect the content in the case from getting any nicks or scratches.

Portable Charger 3000MAH +Lifeguard Mini 1

I received the +LifeGuard Mini 1 Portable Charger through a promotion.

Product Info:

• 3000mAh Capacity 
• Charges 100% on 1.5 to 2.5 hours
• Apple charging cord included
• USB charging cord for portable charger and androids included
• Aluminium shell makes impact resistant 
• Can be recharged more than 800 times
• Is compatible with many devices. (Full list on amazon.)

I'm used to a portable charger that's huge and chunky. The +LifeGuard Mini 1 Portable Charger is so much smaller, like 1/3 of the size of my other charger. It's so much easier and lighter to carry around. It doesn't hold as much charge as my bigger charger, but it can still charge 1 full charge to 1 1/2 full charges. It just depends on how much I use my phone during and after the charge.

One main thing I like is that this charger does not cause my phone to overheat and neither does the charger. My other charger gets extremely warm during use. The aluminum shell on the +LifeGuard Mini 1 causes the portable charger to get very cool if left out in the cold.

The only issue I've had with this charger is not knowing how much charge is left on it. I can't see if there's a partial or full charge on it unless I'm charging the portable charger.

Sticky Suction Car Mount by IGotTech

I received the Sticky Suction Car Mount by iGotTech through a promotion. 

The suction of the car mount doesn't work on my dashboard, which is disappointing. I would have preferred it there, so it wouldn't block my view. It could be that the product wouldn't stick to my dashboard because it was dirty or a bit dusty. 

I usually have a GPS unit where I stuck the sticky suction mount on my windshield. The suction is really good. There's a little tap that you can pop to loosen the suction, but it still stays put until the product is pulled on. 

This product would have been extremely useful for all the times my GPS system didn't work, and I had to use my phone. I had to lean my phone up against my dashboard, which blocked my view of my speedometer. 

The number of times I have had my phone on the car mount, it has not fell off. It stays on the sticky pad while going over bumps or train tracks. I even have a heavy case on my android, and the sticky pad is still able to hold up my phone with ease. It doesn't leave any sticky residue behind, which I was afraid it would. 

In the photo I have the Sticky Suction Car Mount by iGotTech holding up my iTouch, since I was taking the picture with my phone.

The sticky pad has not lost any of it's stickiness yet. It's still holding strong. Of course, iGotTech had added a plastic covering on the sticky pad stating that if it ever lost it's stickiness, it could be washed to regain it's sticky power.

I'm impressed with how well this product has held up.
