[Quick Review] SPIGEN SGP HTC One X Crumena Leather Pouch: Like A Mercedes For Your Phone

Posted by in Reviews

Look, I'll admit it up front: 9 times out of 10, when I buy accessories, I buy cheap and generic. A $5 phone pouch is just as good as a $30 one, right? I always thought I was getting the same product without paying for a fancy name stamped on it, a nicer package, and some more marketing. But between my cheap, universal car mount (which, while adjustable, never quite seems to hold any device quite as snugly as I'd like) or my universal arm band (which has required some cutting and doctoring with every new phone I get), one would think I'd know by now that you get what you pay for when it comes to accessories.

Spigen Ultra Thin Air Case For HTC One X: A Good Choice For Those Who Think Less Is More

Posted by in Other Reviews

I'm not much of a case person. I was never very clumsy with my gadgets and didn't think the added bulk was a worthy trade-off for the added protection, especially in the day and age of ultra-durable plastics and Gorilla Glass screens. But on both fronts, that's changing; it's a lot harder to guarantee the safety of my gadgets when I've got kids (we're both likely to drop things) and there are some very sleek cases on the market. Enter the $20 Spigen Ultra Thin Air case for the One X.

The Ultra Thin Air is, as one would surmise, very thin and very light.

SPIGEN Klasden Levanaus Backpack Review: Meet The Swiss Army Knife Of Backpacks

Posted by in Other Reviews

We cover a lot of very Android-specific gear here at AP, narrowing certain things all the way down to the device-specific level. For this review, though, we're going broad. Really broad. Instead of a way to carry your phone, your tablet, or just an Android device in general, we're taking a look at a backpack for all your gadgets, gear, and other stuff.

When I first laid eyes on the Klasden Levanaus backpack that SPIGEN SGP sent us to review, one thing was clear to me: I was looking at a quality product. Of course, I expected nothing less, because every SPIGEN product I've ever touched has been nothing short of awesome - in both form and function.

[Updated: Here Are The Winners!] Giveaway: Win One Of Ten Crumena Cases For The Galaxy Nexus From SPIGEN SGP And Android Police!

Posted by in Contests / Giveaways, Galaxy Nexus
Last Updated: March 24th, 2012

About three weeks ago, I reviewed a very elegant case from SPIGEN SGP for the Galaxy Nexus that I called "the perfect case for people who hate cases" - the Crumena from SPIGEN SGP.

The Crumena is a very elegant leather slipcase that is designed specifically for the Galaxy Nexus. Its top-load design makes it different than the normal on-device cases that we normally see, and its leather exterior give it a very sophisticated look.

So, you want one? Good. Because we have ten to give away.

This contest is now over. Here are our winners, selected at random:
  1. Jo
  2. GergS
  3. recnelis
  4. Harseface
  5. Craig R.

[Review] SPIGEN SGP Crumena Case For The Galaxy Nexus: The Perfect Case For People Who Hate Cases

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Other Reviews

We've taken a look at a few different cases for the Galaxy Nexus over the past several weeks, but they've all been the same type of case: ruggedized. However, not everyone wants a case that is constantly attached to their device.

Some people prefer a much simpler approach, like a slipcase. That's exactly what the Crumena case from SPIGEN SGP (formerly just 'SGP') is -- and it's a damn nice one.

With that, let's dive in and take a closer look.

Breakdown

What is it? The Crumena is a basic leather slipcase that comes in two colors - black or brown - for the Galaxy Nexus.

[Review] SGP Kuel f60Q: It's The Cadillac Of Portable Chargers, With A Price To Match

Posted by in Other Reviews

While some manufacturers are doing whatever they can to increase battery life in power-hungry smartphones, most of us still have to find a way to make sure our gear stays charged on-the-go. Sure, extended batteries get the job done, but they add extra bulk to your device, and they don't help a bit if you have multiple devices to keep juiced. So, what's the most practical solution?

A portable charger.

We've taken a look at several portable chargers in the past - some good, some not-so-good. Today, we're going to check out one of the best portable chargers that I've ever used: the kuel f60Q from SGP.

[Review] SGP Kuel S10 And S20 Mobile Stands: Two Of The Best Phone Stands You've Probably Never Tried

Posted by in Reviews

A few days ago, the guys at SGP sponsored a giveaway. After looking through the hundreds of entries, I noticed one accessory mentioned far more than the others: the Kuel S20 mobile stand. Naturally, I did what any good blogger would do - pinged our SGP contact and asked him for a review unit. Not only did he send one right out, but he did one better by hooking me up with the S10 mobile stand as well.

After spending a bit of time with each unit, I can say this: they are both solid, well-made, and absolutely beautiful to look at.

[Updated: Here Are The Winners!] Giveaway: Win One Of Ten Awesome Galaxy S II (Skyrocket, AT&T, and International) Cases From SGP And Android Police

Posted by in Contests / Giveaways
Last Updated: November 24th, 2011

Who's ready for another giveaway? Good, because we have some stuff to hand out, courtesy of the good folks at SGP. These guys make solid products -- you may remember the Galaxy Tab 10.1 case review that I did a few weeks back. This contest is going to work a bit differently than those of the past, so keep reading to get the details.

What You Get

SGP just released some new cases for the AT&T Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, and the International version of the GSII, and they originally pinged us to check those out. We arranged a giveaway with them for ten cases, but they didn't want those without some form of GSII to be left out, so here's the deal: if you don't have a GSII, they're willing to hook you up with any accessory under $40 (granted that you win, that is).
