Wrapsol Ultra

As long as we know big screen smartphones, they always need some protectors to give protection to the frisk screen, so we’re always looking for a nice cellphone skin or cover. So many we’ve tried out, some were good, and some were terrible, but none’s perfect, so we’ll just have to keep looking I guess.

 

Well, here’s a new one I’ve found recently, and you might want to have a look at.

 

It’s not everyday that I see someone purposely throw their iPhone across a room. But that is just what the folks from Wrapsol did when they introduced me to their Wrapsol Ultra for the iPhone. I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about Wrapsol. I assumed it was just another one of those stereotypical see-through films that help protect your device from scratches. But Wrapsol is a step ahead of those other “skins”.

 

For starters, unlike many other shields/skins out there, Wrapsol is super easy to apply – it can even be reapplied more than once. Unlike many of the other products which require moisture to apply, Wrapsol doesn’t. Many of these sorts of products also leave you with annoying air bubbles that you end up stuck with for the life of the product or until you rip the film off your device. But not Wrapsol – after you’ve applied the skin, within a day or so all those irritating air bubbles disappear. I didn’t believe it at first, just because I’ve tested out so many products that do leave air bubbles behind. But it has been nearly 11 hours since my Wrapsol Ultra was applied to my iPhone 3GS, and the bubbles that were there at 2pm are now gone. Once applied, Wrapsol feels more like a super tight fitting see-through skin than a one-use only plastic shield.

 

Now if you’re wondering what happened to the poor iPhone that was brutally thrown to the floor? It survived. Wrapsol’s Ultra Drop manages not only to protect your gadget from scratches, but it also provides shock absorption for from falls and knocks.

 

Wrapsol scratch-proof film protects the whole of a device, from front to back. It also helps to enhance grip. It is available for many popular devices, but unfortunately Wrapsol Ultra is only available for smaller sized gadgets like the Droid, and iPhone, but not the iPad. Wrapsol Ultra Drop retails for $29.95 for the iPhone and Wrapsol Original for the iPhone retails for $24.95. Each package comes with a microfiber towelette, a squeegee, instructions – and a lifetime warranty And for every Wrapsol product purchased, Wrapsol makes a donation to Cool Earth to help preserve our rain-forests.

 

So far, the Wrapsol Ultra works just fine, and I like it. This is a really good ’skin’ for your device, and also by purchasing this you can do good to not only your phone but also the earth, so how wonderful! I’m not saying this is perfect, but it definitely worth a try.

the MiLi Power Skin for iPhone 3GSEver since the Mophie Juice Pack debuted, we  just can’t help wanting to have a really nice power case for our iPhones. It should be a nice cellphone case that can offer real protection to our dear iPhones, and more importantly it should be able to offer energy when our dear iPhones needed, so in short, it should be not just a set of armour, but a set of power armour, and we also want it to look pretty.

 

Well, le’s meet the MiLi Power Skin for iPhone 3GS, and see if this one meets our expectations.

 

I wasn’t all that impressed with the design of the MiLi power pack — it was good looking, but it wasn’t anything that Mophie hadn’t done yet. This MiLi Power Skin, on the other hand, is a real looker that’s just a hair slimmer than Mophie’s Juice Pack Air, while still maintaining the 1200mAh battery. There isn’t an on/off switch like on the JPA, but you can tell the device exactly when to charge your iPhone by pressing the power button. As a bonus, the Power Skin uses the now-ubiquitous mini-USB port, so you can have your pick of cables, should you lose the one that comes with this charger.

 

One of the best places to get this case still seems to be the aptly named Powerskin.co.uk, where you can purchase one for about $75. That’s a pretty nice price.

 

Anyway, I think this MiLi Power Skin is quite good, and do offer protection and power, but obviously not gorgeous, so can we wait for a better version to come out?
