With millions of units flying off the shelves and plenty of back orders still waiting to be fulfilled; it is safe to say that Apple's new iPhone 5 has made a rather impressive start to its life in the real world, but that doesn't mean that every iPhone 5 owner is a happy camper. Any seasoned iPhone owner will remember when every iPhone box was packed with a white slab docking stand to safely and comfortably keep the phone upright while charging or syncing, but it seems that those days are long gone.
You've already taken the time to wake yourself up at the crack of dawn to pre-order the shiny new iPhone 5, which in itself shows that you happen to enjoy the finer things in life when it comes to consumer technology. Sure, the smartphone market plays home to a large number of fantastic and highly capable devices, but the iPhone is the only one that seems to be surrounded by that sense of wonder and extreme levels of consumer interest.
I think it's a pretty safe to assume that many iPhone users have found themselves in a precarious situation of being out and about somewhere miles away from home - or any usable power source - only to answer a phone call or send that all-important text message and watch their phone power down as the battery sinks past that horrible 1% mark. It's a horrible but an oh-so-familiar feeling, and unfortunately one that comes as part and parcel of owning a portable but power hungry device like the iPhone.

Kickstarter campaigns make for great reporting, and although not all products dreamed up by the talented individuals behind them are necessarily going to do well in the consumer market, they're intriguing nonetheless.

Remember last year when the LunaTik iPod nano watch strap was all the rage across Kickstarter and pretty much the whole internet? Remember how awesome it was? So do we, and that's why we are quietly excited to see what the LunaTik's makers have come up with when they say their next project is an iPhone 4 and 4S case that is rugged, water resistant and generally cool.
A new iPhone bumper takes our love of all things 8-bit and shoehorns it into an iPhone bumper that is sure to appeal to anyone who was around in the eighties and nineties.
Having a smartphone is often sensationalized as being like having an extra limb; we use it most of the time, and feel bereft without it. Sad, but entirely true.
Insurance policies for our beloved gadgets can often cost an arm and a knee, and as such, we're always on the lookout for cheaper ways to protect our devices as best possible.
You read the title and you are wondering what's going on, right? Well no, it isn't April fools day, and to the best of my knowledge Nissan aren't about to enter into the mobile smartphone accessory industry.
