In a world with constant evolving technology comes an age old dilemma. Just like power outlets we find out TV's do not come with enough HDMI or AV ports to match our needs.

Can switch automatically (based on active input)

Supports manual switching using the supplied IR wireless remote or the button on the device

I Stumbled upon Clamcase one day while searching online. I was super excited when I got the chance to do a review with them.

I held off and went to work on time but the moment it arrived I ran straight home after work and opened the boxed and plugged up this glorious case to charge.

I have done a video review for you about this case. To see the video continue reading.

Water proof and heat resistant, these gloves are durable with its impeccable slip-free design. With it's vibrant orange color it is easy to spot as you scurry around your kitchen.

More Info

I have been an OtterBox user for quite a few years. When the iphone 6+ came out I was sadden to see that Otterbox was slow on the draw and hadn't released any cases. So I dealt with another case while waiting and hoping for the otterbox to be released. Sadly the case I settled with was $60 and the only case that the store had that was considered to be as safe as an otterbox. Let me tell you I hated that case with a passion. I will be reviewing that case in its own post soon. When I pulled the Crusta from the box I loved how it felt in my hands. While weary about the open back when I first opened it I now love how well it sits in my hands. I find it easier to hold the phone and be able to take pictures one handed where with my old case I couldn't without dropping the phone.

I am horrible at putting on screen protectors on devices. I usually ruin them with huge bubbles and end up having to buy a new one and having the Old Man put it on for me. So while I was super excited to be able to try a tempered glass screen protector I was fearful of the application.

The screen protector comes with:

de dusting film

alcohol pad

cleaning cloth,

squeegee card

I have to admit I am a worry wart, I am constantly thinking of the worst case scenario. One thing that has always been on my mind would be if something were to happen and I couldn't call someone for help without alerting someone of my presence (Like if I were hiding.) Or if I wasn't holding my phone when I had to hide and had no way to run to it. With the V.ALRT I can call for help without actually calling with just a press of a button.

What are all the uses for the V.ALRT?

• School Safety – children/grandchildren in
  
  school can alert to emergencies or check in with parents after an incident
• Connecting families – put V.ALRT in a backpack or pocket and have a hotline to Mom/Dad
• Signal for help if injured – great for hiking, biking, or other outdoor activities
• Fall Detection Mode – multi-axis accelerometer automatically notifies contacts if a fall is detected
• Homebound no more – users with medical conditions can stay connected to healthcare professionals or care providers when out at the store, in the yard or otherwise away from the landline
