It's always refreshing when a company releases an accessory that can be used with anything, aka "universal", instead of marketing directly to iPod/iPad/iPhone/iPood devices. Standzout is one of them, even though they do have products marketed directly to those other devices. Even though I was not able to attend CES 2014 due to some conflicts, I was able to get a hold of one of their Standzfree Universal Tablet Floor Stands to check out.
Seeing as I spend an awful lot of time working from home and my desk is never clean enough to put more than my keyboard, phone, mouse and monitors, a tablet floor stand is perfect! And, seeing as I occasionally do stints as a guitar player a stand for my tablet while playing is essential. So I went about setting this sucker up.
First thing I noticed was how purely heavy it is. Most of that is the floor base stand itself - requiring more than just myself to attach the base. Luckily I had a minion around (who oddly enough looks like me) to help steady the base while I screw in the screw with the provided allen wrench. Once it was nice and tight it was quite evident that this stand isn't going to move around any.
After using the stand with my tablets at my desk for a few weeks, I found it to be just like having another monitor. I was able to adjust it to the right height given that it has a telescoping neck which gives it about another foot in length (TWHS), so I could sit at my desk, turn to the side and immediately have it right there. And in fact it holds my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 quite well. It was time to take it to a gig.
It was there I noticed immediately what could keep me from using this outside the office. Whenever I needed to turn a page on the setlist, the thing moved. It wasn't that the base itself moved (which it does if you push too hard on the tablet), it was that with a tablet in the holder it's easy to move it because it's up in the air. Not even sure how to avoid it - but i have the same problem in the car with a suction cup phone mount. It's like the tablet just floats and moves easily on the stand.
Outside of that, I am impressed with the stand but will only use it at my desk or maybe by the bed at night. If you're interested in one, you can head on over to their site to read about it and purchase one if you so choose.

Coocher 5 Port Desktop Wall Charger (great for travel!)

You can grab one here

I am reviewing the following device in return for the usage and review of the said item here in XDA. I am not employed or affiliated with them, they were kind enough to seek my opinion on this product.
While not an accessory specific to Nexus 6, I figured I'd add this here because the N6 does have Quick Charging and wanted to let people know my experience with the item.
And honestly, I was looking for one of these desktop chargers for home. I previously bought one when I go on trips to power my various devices, but was looking to upgrade due to me and my wife's phone now equipped with Quick Charge 2.0.
Upon receiving it, The packaging was really nice. Minimal and not too much. Just enough to protect the contents and not hard to unpack at all. Inside housed the desktop charger, the plug, instructions, and other literature as seen in the pics.
The look is a nice textured matte finish and you can grip it pretty well. It has a good weight to it so it won't fly off your desk if you push papers towards it. You can orient it any way you would like to use it, but my preference for this charger is flat with the print facing up. I found that this way, it won't flop over, even though it has some heft to it, you can accidentally knock it over.
There is a power LED when you plug it into the wall. Not bright, just a nice dim blue led to let you know it's on. IMO a nice touch. Next I plugged in both mine and my wife's phone. (Nexus 6 and HTC M8 respectively). And both charged up pretty quickly! I then tested out the remaining three ports (the non-quick charge ones) and all worked as it should. Also I have to note that all the USB ports were easy to plug in and remove with different usb cords.
So is there really any negatives here? Not that I can see. This is a great product for the price listed on Amazon (17 USD prior to shipping if not a prime member).
Maybe offer different colors? With different color LEDs? Just throwing some quick things off the top of my head. But otherwise it's a great product to use.
Would I recommend this? Yes! Because multiple devices that have Quick Charge, we needed this for the times we need to quickly charge up before heading out to of the house and not really worry about carrying external batteries.
Any questions feel free to ask! Pics below

Car Jump Starter RAVPower 14000mAh Portable Charger (550A Peak Current, LCD Display,

I was given this for testing and evaluation and this is my unbiased review:
One may argue that having a car jumper in your car is not of dire importance. Most may say that they never have needed one in the past, so why would they ever need one in the future. Well, we all make mistakes, and having this device around when the time comes will feel like an absolute godsend, and you will feel brilliant for having the foresight to have purchased this particular device. Whether it be leaving your lights on and accidentally killing your battery, or showing the good Samaritan within you by helping your fellow man stuck on the side of the road. Having a car jumper of this quality will make you a hero to anyone in need whilst you are around. Even if you do not know how to operate the device yourself, most people do, and simply having the device with you will save you from at least a few headaches in the future.
The Ravpower 1400mah is an absolute gem of a device. It is an incredibly reliable car battery jumper, and unlike most car jumping devices on the market, this one is not builky and frustrating to use. It is clearly evident that the design team did as much as they could to make this device as sleek as possible and easy to use. It even has its own flashlight. It is small and highly portable, and comes with a wall charger, car charger, 2 USB cables and the car jumper itself. All of this is carried in a small bag that is barely noticeable in the trunk of ones car, or under one of the seats within the cabin. You are going to absolutely love this device.
In order to test this device I took this risk of allowing my battery to die four times over a four day period by leaving my lights on. Each subsequent day I would use the car jumper to jump the battery and each time it was successful on the first try. The device worked flawlessly.
If you cannot tell already, I highly recommend this device. Not only is it easy to bring around with you, but it is so much more than your average car battery jumper. It accommodates the modern day traveler very well by providing not only a flashlight but it can also charge multiple phones at the same time. This device is a must have for anyone that uses their car often, especially when taking a long trip.

[Review] Yinnuo Outdoor Headlamp with 10 hours runtime for 15$

Hey,
some days ago Yinnuo sent me their headlamp (not headset!) for review so here it is now
Let me first clarify that I am neither paid by them nor related to them in any other way. My review is as honest and unbiased as possible.
Let's start :highfive:
General information​
The headlamp came in a small and rather damaged box. Actually the box was half shredded so that first impression was "well they sent me this because it is already half broken". In the end what matters is the content though, so I won't go too hard on them here.
The specifications are:
5W LED lamp
4800 mAH rechargable battery
mounted to a strap
Content​The content is straight forward:
the lamp (obviously)
charging cable with US plug

Contrary to most chinese gadgets there were zero manuals in the box. Given that it is just a rechargable lamp you as a customer should know how to use it I guess
Light​I tested the lamp in my cellar and it emits a blue-ish light. The light is really bright and surprisingly focused. You can focus on exactly one point and it hardly spreads. The lamp itself has a small hinge so you can turn the lamp up and down. That's a good feature because you can exactly position the light to into your view. Also there are two brightness levels and you can switch between them by pressing the power button.
Battery Life​After charging the battery overnight I enabled it and left it on my desk. After 7 hours of work it was still shining so I guess the advertised 10 hours are rather realistic. Nice! The charger rates only 500 mA of output so charging will take really long, which is not so nice.
Wearing experience​The lamp is HUGE. Really huge! You won't win a beauty contest with it but it's functional so that's okay. The only thing I found annoying is that the battery pack blocks a bit (~5%) of your upper view when wearing it. I like the wearing feeling though - the lamp sits tight on your head but it doesn't hurt, so that is definitely a plus.
Conclusion​Here is my conclusionas bullet points:
Pro:
Cheap - 15$!
Really bright and focused light.
Good wearning comfort.
Decent battery life/large battery.
Two brightness levels.
Con:
Huge lamp doesn't exactly look good
No micro-USB for charging but a proprietary plug.
Charger output is 500 mA, so it takes nearly 10 hours to fully charge it.
Well, I like it. The only scenario where I could use it is in a tent on a festival but overall it seems to be a solid lamp for little money. If you're looking for such a lamp, consider buying it.

BESTEK LED desk lamp with 2.4Amp charging port

After doing some travelling I noticed some hotels have lamps on the night stands that also had USB ports in them. I thought this was a pretty cool idea so went on a search for something for my night stand. I found one available for as low as $31 on ebay or only $24 for the white version on Amazon.
I have a Nexus 6P so was interested in something that could also provide fast charging. The USB C and Nexus 6P is capable of 3 Amp charging and was at a loss to find one that could go that high but these lamps provide a full 2.4 Amp USB port that does allow the 6P to rapid charge. If you are like me you have chargers sticking out everywhere and limited outlets available. This convenient hotel quality lamp solves that bed side for you! The lamp is available in both black and white. There are many types of lighting from reading, to study to sleep with several brightness levels for each! So there should be a pleasing choice available for every situation. As a night light or for those that read in bed and fall asleep, there is a 60 minute timer option too!!
The lamp swivels 45 degrees in each direction from the base. The light moves forward or back on an elbow. The light itself swivels on the head as well! It even folds straight up to be out of the way when not in use! Of course the best part is that it is LED so uses very little electricity for those "green" of us and also don't like giving up more money to the electric companies! I have also seen the same company has one with a clock as well. I use my phone for clock and alarm so didn't need another clock in the house to set every power outage :silly:
LED is the future for lighting and saving $$$$

Do you know the specs of the bulb. This looks interesting to me.
Nvm Amazon said non replacable. Not a deal breaker though
