Desmay New Slight 5 iPhone 5 Case Review

Desmay made a name for itself when it released the Slight series of ultra-slim cases. Desmay's iPhone 5 cases are highly regarded under the minimalist-style case sector. The latest case to come from Desmay is the New Slight 5, an iPhone 5 case so slim it requires a delicate touch. Calling this 0.35mm thick case slim is wrong. It's insanely thin is what it actually is. Desmay is so thrilled about it that it is calling it the world's thinnest and lightest case, thin and light it is, but it isn't the only case around with such prowess based on our recent Gadgetmac Guide where we hunted down and listed 15 of our favorite top slim iPhone 5 cases. We're also going to take a look at Desmay's The Glossy, a thin and elegant case for the iPhone 5 with a glossy surface of course. If thin case protection is what you're looking for, our review will point you towards the right direction.

When Harman Kardon introduced its first line of consumer headphones last year we marveled their high-end, unparalleled aesthetics and appreciated the fine audio quality that came with it all.

id America Gasket V8 Aluminum iPhone 5 Case Review

The roaring sound of a performance V8 engine can give petrol heads a tingling sensation down in their nether regions. We wonder what an iPhone case might do. id America's Gasket V8 is an all-aluminum iPhone 5 case with an original design deliberately made to make your iPhone 5 look like it's part of a masculine V8 engine block. We haven't seen such a testosterone-loaded case like the Gasket V8 since we last reviewed the Japanese engineered Draco IV by Draco Design.

The Gasket V8 case is id America's second iteration, one that was first designed for the iPhone 4 and now brought back to encase the ever so worthy iPhone 5. As much as it may be a rehashed design, we have found that the Gasket V8 is an improved version of its V8-less predecessor. It's time to push the pedal to the metal to find out how well this case performs.

Cooler Master NotePal Ergo 360 Adjustable Laptop Cooler Review

Whether it is video rendering, massive image editing, or hardcore gaming, laptops are inevitably going to heat up quickly and require some intense fan spinning action.

Designed to keep your laptop cooler than usual during highly-intensive operation, the Ergo 360 does the job with a couple of interesting twists.

All of these unique features are begging for Gadgetmac's seal of approval. Check out the full review after the cut to see our final verdict.
