MobileFun Announces New Products
Posted in Commentary with tags MobileFun on March 30, 2015 by itnerdOnline reseller MobileFun sent me three new products that they’re rolling out.
The Apple Watch is the first true luxury product from Apple, with the most expensive editions costing over £9,000. The 24-carat gold of the Edition looks fantastic, but its price point puts it far beyond the reach of the average consumer. But what if there was a way to make the £299 Apple Watch Sport look like that golden marvel? There is. Introducing the Apple Watch Gold Upgrade Kit.
Look to the stars or into your neighbours back garden to admire the wonders of nature with the truly impressive magnification of the 100x Magnification Telescope for the iPhone 6.
And there’s this universal thumb stylus. It’s not a joke and it’s ideal for “phablets”:

Posted in Commentary with tags MobileFun on March 13, 2015 by itnerdOnline retailer MobileFun just announced a ton of new products.
For starters just launched a few cool Apple Watch charging stands (available for pre-order) which can be found here: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Watch-Chargers.htm
They already have a large selection of cases available for both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge. These include cases from Samsung, Urban Armor Gear, Otterbox, Tech 21, Rearth, Spigen, Encase, Verus and Case-Mate. Some cases are in stock now, with many more arriving in the next couple of weeks.
The full range of cases with prices and availability can be found on the pages below:
Olixar Qi Wireless Charging Car Holder Pack
New in this week, this Qi car holder pack from Olixar lets you bring wireless charging into your car and de-clutter from tangled charging cables. The holder can mount onto your car’s dashboard, windscreen or air vent and is compatible with all Qi enabled phones of width of 60mm up to 95mm.
Huawei Watch UK Price
Mobile Fun have announced our UK prices for the Huawei Watch and are taking pre-orders for the black and silver models at £300 and the gold at £350.
Olixar Bead Bracelet Cables
This may look like your normal everyday bracelet, but pull apart one of the beads and you’ll find it splits apart into the two ends of a USB charging cable so you’re never without a cable to charge your phone or tablet (cool huh?). There are two varieties available, black for Lightning devices and red for micro USB.
Check these new products out today.
UPDATE: MobileFun just published some amazing hands-on video reviews of some new Samsung Galaxy S6 cases. These are the only hands-on reviews of the cases available anywhere at the moment:
Review: Olixar Travel Adapter With 4 USB Ports
Posted in Products with tags MobileFun, Olixar on February 18, 2015 by itnerdOne of the challenges that I have when traveling is that I don’t want to carry a ton of adapters to keep my phone, bluetooth headset, and other battery powered gadgets charged. Now what I usually do is carry the various types of cables that my gadgets use and use my MacBook Pro to charge my devices. That works, but I figured that there had to be a better way. So when MobileFun sent me the Olixar Travel Adapter With 4 USB Ports last week, I figured that I had found my solution. First, let me show you what comes in the box:
The big block at the top is the actual travel adapter with 4 USB Ports. You also get four heads to allow you to plug it into most places on Earth. Specifically the EU, US, UK and Australian plug sockets among 150 countries in total.
Here’s a closer look at the travel adapter:
You’ll note that it shows the output of the USB ports. That’s handy to know that whatever you plug into them won’t fry your devices. In my tests, it worked brilliantly. It seems to be able to figure out what the device or devices need to charge quickly and does so perfectly regardless of whether I was charging one device or four devices. When I examined it, I found it to be well constructed and I believe that it will last over multiple trips.
Downsides? None. Seriously, I found that there was nothing that I could complain about. Even the price is ideal. MobileFun is offering the Olixar Travel Adapter With 4 USB Ports for $45.99 USD. That’s a great price and I would say that this is a must get for anyone who travels. I would also say that if you have to charge multiple devices at home, you should get one of these as well. For those reasons, the Olixar Travel Adapter With 4 USB Ports is easy to recommend from my perspective.
New Products And News From Mobile Fun
Posted in Commentary with tags MobileFun on February 7, 2015 by itnerdHere’s some of the latest news and products from online reseller Mobile Fun.
This handy device from Leef plugs into your iOS device’s Lightning port to allow iPhone and iPad users to easily add 16 or 32GB storage to their device and transfer files quickly. It’s fully case-compatible with it’s unique J shape allowing it to curve right the way around the back of the device.
This week, Mobile Fun launched a range of cases for the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 which include cases from Spigen, Encase and Verus.
They’ve already got their hands on the Encase Flexishield case, which arrived at Mobile Fun HQ yesterday. Notable differences when compared to S5 cases include the re-positioning of the camera lens and headphone port cut-outs, while it looks like there will also be separate up and down volume buttons.
Also new in this week is the Mi Band Fitness Monitor and Sleep Tracker. It works in conjunction with the impressive Mi Band Android app to track your activity and sleeping patterns, give you notifications and gently wake you up from your sleep. Best of all, it’s only £29.99.
Unlike the Carl Zeiss and Gear VR headsets, these VR Glasses from Archos offer universal compatibility and will work with all smartphones between 4.7 and 6 inches. They’re available to order for only £24.99, making them an ideal budget alternative to the more expensive options currently on the market.
The BlackBerry Z20, codenamed Rio, is expected to be the next BlackBerry to be launched later this month. They’ve already got Z20 accessories on the way including official leather flip cases, pocket cases and holster, screen protectors and Modular Sync Pod. They’re expecting these to be available end of February/early March.
