• Review: Hub International Prizm for iPad/iPad 2
  
  Prizm may be valuable to those who need to carry around a stand, but don’t have a lot of room to pack it. The two flat pieces take up very little space when disassembled and are quite light, making it convenient to throw them in a bag or even some sleeves. While none of the points are sharp, some users will find the metal-on-metal sound that occurs pretty much whenever the halves are in contact grating, and we’d be careful about using…

• Review: CruxCase Crux360 for iPad 2
  
  Crux360 has a hinged folio-style setup: the left side is a somewhat thick and very sturdy keyboard, while the right is composed of a two-piece frame to hold the tablet. Although it’s mounted a bit differently—built into the plastic rather than surrounded by leather or fully removable—the keyboard is a variant of the OEM model we’ve previously seen from Wekreat, GreatShield, and Nuu. We have noted that this keyboard is good…

  
• Review: JAYS v-JAYS II Headphones
  
  As a brief primer on the v-JAYS family, it suffices to say that Swedish designers JAYS came up with the original version as a lightweight, foldable headphone with an unusually slender headband and flexible, foam-padded square earpieces—an attractive enough design, saddled with less than stellar sound quality. As we said at the time, those extra dollars bought iPod and iPhone users roughly the same sonics as they’d get for free with Apple’s…

• Review: Spigen SGP Ava Karen for iPhone 4/4S
  
  Rather than a folio-style setup, Ava Karen features a trifold design. Despite the “Leather Case” message printed on the inside of the plastic shell, the body is actually composed of faux leather, available in either plain black or embossed brown—the latter is reminiscent of a Louis Vuitton pattern. This fact is reinforced by the embossed “Faux Leather” message in the lower righthand corner of the middle section. Regardless…
