With so many Internet of Things (IoT) devices dominating our homes, the ability to control them all continues to be a journey of trial and error. We continue to hear that Apple’s HomeKit is coming down the pipeline but its ultimate usefulness has yet to be seen. In the meantime, there is a Kickstarter project called Nuimo that plans on bringing all of the controls for SONOS, Philips Hue and others typically found in your iPhone to a physical knob and display. It has already blown past its goal in just a few days…

Belkin curiously introduced all-new iPad Bluetooth Keyboards a mere 72 hours before Tim Cook would take the stage at 1 Infinite Loop to announce iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3. The refreshed QODE keyboard cases were certainly worth lusting over, but what good are they if they don’t support Apple’s latest tablets, right? Well, Belkin fixed that this morning by releasing an updated line of keyboards and covers specifically designed for iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3…
Today, Belkin announced a pair of additions to its popular line of QODE iPad keyboard cases. According to Belkin, the new QODE Ultimate Pro and QODE Slim Style Keyboards for iPad Air take everything that was great about the previous generation models and add in some premium features Belkin customers have requested.
Head below for more details, availability and pricing on each of the two new offerings from Belkin:
Apple’s Lightning cable has been a thorn in side of Apple fans for a while now. Shortly after its debut alongside iPhone 5 in 2012, it became abundantly clear that Apple’s claims of ‘improved durability’ where specious at best. Apple-branded Lighting cables have failed time and time again.
Now it’s three years later and Apple has done nothing to address the durability of its Lightning cables. We’ve put together a roundup of ultra-tough Lightning cables that should last longer than your new iPhone 6/6 Plus…
The Thunderstorm is a full-range speaker system with a protective casing with various angles for a great entertainment experience.
We found it to be perfect for iPad users who frequently game or watch videos during our review:
I’ve tried many Bluetooth speakers from Logitech, Jawbone, NYNE, JBL and more, and I can honestly say none quite compare to Thunderstorm when it comes to a rich, immersive sound experience for watching video on an iPad. Its a unique experience with Thunderstorm, fine tuned specifically for the movie watching experience, and it’s definitely worth your attention if much of your time with an iPad is spent watching video.
Belkin brought home automation to the masses years ago with its WeMo lineup of app-connected switches and plugs. Today, the WeMo ecosystem is expanding to include Smart LED bulbs.
Just like standard LED bulbs, WeMo bulbs last longer (up to 23 years) and consume less energy (only 10 watts) than their out-dated incandescent counterparts. Each dimmable bulb is rated at 800 lumens and 3000 kelvins, which produces a “pleasing warm white light.”
WeMo bulbs easily install by screwing into existing lighting fixtures, but that’s not even the best part…
(Update 5/19 10:30am): The time has come. Apple has randomly announced a new Lightning dock for iPhone 6/Plus. However, you should still take a look at the numerous third party options (below) that have been on the market for years. Many of these options offer more styling and better value compared to Apple’s dock.
If you were one of over 4 million people who preordered an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus this weekend, then you may have noticed that one of Apple’s most popular accessories for previous gen iPhones is curiously absent from its online store. As of right now, Apple seems to be sitting on the sideline and will not be releasing a dock designed for its newest smartphones.
Docks position your iPhone in a way that makes it easier to keep tabs on incoming notifications, all while helping create a clean workspace by wrangling messy cables.
There are already several iPhone 6 and 6 Plus dock solutions. Here are our favorite docks, stands, mounts, and more:

This gadget replaces your current light switch (using the same electrical wiring) and then allows “users to remotely access and manage an entire bank of household lights from anywhere using the WeMo app.” The free app is able to “turn lights on or off, put them on a schedule, and even time them according to local sunrise and sunset.” WeMo Light Switch will work over 3G or WiFi and does not require a monthly subscription. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars. Check out the entire Belkin WeMO home automation lineup here.

Amazon is offering the Logitech FabricSkin folio keyboard case for iPad Air for $119.99 with free shipping. That’s a $30 price drop and the first ever discount on this recently released iPad Air accessory. It features a reachable battery w/ up to 3 months of use on a full charge, iOS specific shortcut keys, and ample protection from everyday bumps/drops and even water hazards.
9to5Mac reviewed several iPad Air keyboard cases and found the Logitech FabricSkin to be the winner:
Using the accessory as a case for the Air while not in keyboard mode is comfortable and convenient. Relatively, the cover (which protects the front and back of the iPad Air) is not much bulkier than a non-keybaord case built for the same purpose. However, the electronics in the accessory add some weight. The volume rocker, rear camera, speakers, and power button are all accessible while the cover is closed.
WeMo can control almost any electronic device that is plugged into the switch from anywhere. Perfect for fans, lights, speakers and more. Users can also control these devices with the included motion sensor and receive text/email alerts when motion is detected in a room. The WeMo adds an extra level of safety and convenience to your home.
Download the Belkin WeMo app today and start controlling your home from a simple touch of your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Check out the 9to5Mac review of the WeMo here.
Time to turn you iPad into an entertainment powerhouse. Amazon is offering up to 48% off the Belkin Thunderstorm home theater speaker and case. The 30-pin version (iPad 2/3) is now $129.99, and the Thunderbolt model (iPad 4) is $149.99. The 48% discount figure is derived from a $250 retail price on the 30pin version, which is oddly more than the Thunderbolt model. Anyways, both models are significantly discounted and that’s all that matters. It features a full-range speaker system, protective casing, and various angles for optimal entertainment consumption. Rated 4.5 stars.

Apple’s newest mobile operating system, iOS7, brings great new features and a beautiful design but unfortunately it has also rendered many 3rd party Lightning accessories useless. Apple’s Made For iPhone program certifies that accessories are safe to charge and sync your Apple devices. Each Lightning accessory even has a tiny chip that certifies the accessory…
Most Lightning docks on the market are cheaply made and do not have the polished fit n’ finish worthy of a new iPhone or iPod. The Belkin Lightning dock is different. It has an aluminum finish and built-in 4′ USB cable to charge & sync your Apple device. You are getting a sturdy dock and MFi-certified Lightning cable for just $5 more than an official Apple Lightning cable, a true deal. it is also $5 cheaper than the newly announced Apple dock that does not include a lightning Lightning cable and in my opinion is not as good looking as this one. Compatible with iPhone 5, iPod Touch 5th generation and iPod Nano 7th generation and presumably the new iPhone 5s / 5c.
