Nowadays with smartphones and tablets becoming more popular and more expensive naturally we want to protect our investment. Now this usually involves equipping our new device in a protective case. Yet, with so many options out there it becomes harder and harder to pick a case that is fashionable, fits good, works well, and doesn’t add bulk to our thin devices.

In the past I have bought a new case for a new smartphone only to get rid of the case a few days later because it just wasn’t right. It usually comes down to the same few problems.

  • The case just doesn’t fit right. Button holes don’t line up making buttons hard to press or reach.
  • Case adds too much bulk. These cases often offer great protection at the cost of slimness. They are thick, heavy and just plain bulky.
  • Too much going on. These cases have built-in extras such as kick stands and belt clips that add to the bulk and becomes something else that just breaks over time.
  • Poor build quality. There is nothing worst then a case that is not built to last. They feel cheap and tend to easy break.

I have gone through all these issues with different cases in the past and have usually ended up with my phone or tablet without any protection other than me trying to be extra careful with it. This all changed once I put Case-Mate’s Barely There case on my Motorola Xoom 4G. I was immediately impressed with how well it fit. This case has a nice soft smooth finish all around that feels very nice to hold. This is also a 1 piece case that doesn’t have extra parts to clip together and take apart if you ever need to take the case off. This Xoom case is extremely thin and tight-fitting. Once I had it on I quickly forgot its even there. The Case-Mate Barely There case is perfect for anyone wanting great protection for their device without added bulk. With a large device like a tablet a large case to fit it adds weight quickly yet the Barely There case seems to make no different in weight.


Motorola Xoom Barely There Case

Think less case and more talk. The Barely There Motorola Xoom case shows off your Xoom with its slim and minimal case design. One of our most popular cases, the Barely There combines style with function for the ultimate slim Motorola Xoom case.

Offering a layer of protection and polish, the Barely There case reveals more of your Motorola Xoom. Colorful shades add a modern look, without the bulk. Made from specially engineered materials, including a hard-to-break plastic shell, the form fitting case slims in all the right places.

I have been so impressed with the Case-Mate Barely There case that I bought the same case for my Galaxy Nexus and have recommend this case to everyone I know. This is the first case that I have used that I bought again.

Case-Mate also offers a wide variety of colors and case styles to fit everyone’s demanding lifestyle. If you are in the market for a new case for a new device or just unhappy with your current case then Case-Mate has the case for you.

Case-Mate is the world’s leading mobile accessories brand, designing fashion-forward cases for mobile technology and tablets. Since 2006, the company has helped consumers express their individual style with products that protect, adorn and enhance their mobile devices. Working with top designers from around the world and using cutting-edge technology and distinctive materials, Case-Mate’s team of technology and design aficionados have created an extensive collection of cases right for any style and every occasion.

Let’s talk about traveling with children especially on vacation. I am sure that many of you are like me and carry numberous chargers for your cellphones, gaming systems, tablets and more. Wouldn’t it be nice to only have to take one along for the ride? Well heck yes, it would. This is why I have become a support of ChargeAll.

ChargeAll is a cell phone charging station and universal mobile phone charger. It literally charges everything from the Apple iPhone and Blackberry to the Amazon Kindle and Nintendo DS; 10 tips in 1 with fast charge technology.

Having one wall charger unit for multiple electronics saves space in home and on the go. It lessens the chance of losing one along the way. Which note I have been known to leave a charger in the hotel room from time to time. All in all I find it to be the ultimate time saver when getting my electronics ready for travel. Toss in and go.

Free cell phone charging stations could be everywhere. Currently ChargeAll can be found at nail salons, car dealerships, libraries, college universities and hospitals. On a business level the reasons to use ChargeAll are simple: attract more customers and keep them longer.

Here’s just some of the places you will see ChargeAll fully charged customers:
