So, when you get a nice phone, such as the Tilt that I have, the first thing you do is get a screen protector, the second thing to do is get a good quality case for that phone. When you go searching for a case for your phone you’re going to find numerous choices, so many choices that it really can get confusing at times. In the end though you should choose a case on only a few main qualities like how well it protects your phone, the quality of these case, functionality and of course how it looks. In the end though you really won’t know if any case suits your needs until you get it and use it for a while.

The case I’ve got for review today is the Orbit with Multidapt from our friends at Krusell , and I’ll be honest, when I first got this case I didn’t like it, but first impressions aren’t always the best judge of a product like this. I’ve used this case everyday for the last three plus weeks and I’ve grown to love it, it offers excellent protection for my phone, accessibility to all of the functions and buttons, it’s very well made, and it looks great. It’s all of the things that you should look for in a case for your phone and then some.

Krusell also sent me their CarHoldickit as well to go with it, the CarHoldickit is part of their Multidapt system of holders where you can take the phone from your belt, the clip stays on your belt, and you can attach your phone elsewhere like your car dashboard as with the CarHoldickit. The Multidapt system offers many other types of clips as well, and depending on your lifestyle you can choose on or more that best fits your needs.

As I said in the beginning I didn’t like this case, but now after using it I really do like it very much for everything it has to offer…

NEW CONTENT (Computex Taipei 2008) – AMD’s upcoming 790GX mobos get an early showing

QUOTE: “AMD is not due to officially release its codenamed RS780D named 790GX chipset (along with SB750 chipset and AMD Overdrive Extreme overclock tweaking utility) until a little later but several companies were showing off their early design boards at Computex Taipei 2008 this week.

Our first stop was at MSI who had its K9A2GX-Digital motherboard on display for all to see. The MSI rep we spoke to mentioned that the board is nowhere near finished and the product we saw on display actually only arrived from the factory in China a couple days before the show began.”

Title: Apevia X-Jupiter G-Type Case Review @ Virtual-Hideout

Review link: http://www.virtual-hideout.net/reviews/Apevia_X-Jupiter_G-Type/index.shtml

Quote: “The Apevia X-Jupiter is an excellent entry into the full-tower market. Besides being very attractive and stylish, the X-Jupiter delivers a multitude of features such as four included 120mm fans (with an option for a fifth) a built in LCD temperature monitor and two fan controllers. The fans, while not ultra quite, serve the case well and the fan controllers will help keep down the noise; as an added bonus, the LED fans also glow brighter when spinning faster! Another big bonus is the aluminum construction, which does a great job of keeping the weight down, and as a result, keeping your back from getting angry at you.”

Quote: We need more and more harddrive space these days and our cases might not be able to handle all the drives so therefore there are external HDD enclosures on the market. Thermaltake is one of the companies that have released several different enclosures on the market and today we are going to look at their Max 4 HDD enclosure with a blue led fan mounted on the side. How well does it perform, and will the drive stay stable even after gaming?
