I’m back with another case review for you, this on was provided by our friends at Mobile Fun across the pond. The product is a case for the iPod Touch 4th Generation. I’m one that needs a case on basically every gadget I own as I have a need to protect my investments. Hard Candy is a company I’m familiar with, I have one of there cases on my Netbook actually and I’m very fond of it so I sort of knew was I was getting with this case, quality and good protection. The case is called the Bubble Slider and I like it very much, it will be staying on my iPod Touch forever I think.

Mobility Digest Review: Verizon Wireless Apple iPhone 4 – 16 GB

Quote: Ok, I’m sure everybody knows what the product I have for review today is, there’s really not much need for an intro at all is there? I guess I have to though right? I have the iPhone 4 for review, but it’s for Verizon and not AT&T, yes AT&T has lost its grip on iPhone exclusivity.
