I recently had the opportunity to review the portagrip by Panavise.
It is a nice affordable solution for mounting your smartphone while in a vehicle or on a smooth table. It is great to use with your gps or navigation software or while listening to music while in your vehicle.
I liked the design, the flexibility of its’ use. It can be used in a variety of ways on any smooth surface typically for the window or it seems a glass conference table as well. It can also be used to view a video while eating and not driving in the car or at a restaurant.
It is definitely a must have item for the frequent driver or the long distance driver or those that travel and use their smart phone for navigation!
Here is a brief overview video that I did on the portagrip–>

Recently I had the opportunity to test and review the mophie juice pack® – Samsung Galaxy S® III battery case. I was quite impressed to say the least. I also had the opportunity to test the powerstation battery pack as well.
The design and construction of both were very nice. I tested the black juice pack with my Samsung Galaxy S3 and really like how it felt in the hand as well as the radical increase in battery life and its’ ability ability to let the phone be used for a long duration. I also tested the mophie juice pack powerstation® and it is also a solid device that really improves the life of products for people that need to charge their devices when away from a convenient power plus or usb port. It would be great on a train, bus, ship or airplane or for use while camping.
And images of the powerstation:–>
