Read this review for the PhoneSuit Elite written by one of our valued customer, Jeff Block:

“The PhoneSuit Elite battery and case is a great product for anyone who has an iPhone 4 or 4S and has no battery left at the end of the day. This case comes in Black and White both with a soft touch that shows no fingerprints. Besides just being a case it has a built in 2100 mAh battery which is more then double the built in iPhone battery. This battery also has quick charge feature that will give your iPhone a full charge in 2 hours.

Since I have had this Case, it is durable, it is able to stand any falls and gives great protection as well as a back-up battery to my iPhone. On the back of the case, there is button with 5 LED lights that will show the battery level for the extra battery. There is a Micro USB port on the bottom that allows this case to Sync and Charge the iPhone while in case as well as charge the extra battery. While using the case there is an on off switch on the bottom that allows you to tell the case if you would like to use the extra battery or not. This case comes with both Front and Back Screen Shields as well as an Extra top piece so if you loose it or it breaks you don’t have to wait for a replacement. Overall this case does add extra weight and bulkiness to the iPhone but compared to some other similar cases this is sleeker and providing more battery then its competitors.”

Life has enough surprises; your phone’s security doesn’t need to be one of them.

Company’s eighth patent covers an all-in-one form factor for mobile signal boosters

St. George, Utah – Sept. 14, 2010 – Wilson Electronics, manufacturer of North America’s top-selling line of cell phone signal boosters, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent 7,684,838, the company’s eighth patent related to the amplification of cellular signals.

The patent was awarded for Wilson’s product designs that incorporate a cell phone cradle, cellular signal booster, and antenna into a single unit. Wilson products that make use of the patented technology include the company’s latest universal mobile signal booster, the Sleek, and Wilson’s 2009 iPhone-specific release, the iBooster. 

Combining the various elements of a cellular signal booster into a single unit reduces the number of parts that must be installed and connected. This streamlines the installation process and allows these Wilson mobile signal boosters to readily be moved from one vehicle to another.

“This latest patent and those issued previously are ample evidence of the depth of talent comprising our world-class research and development department,” said Joe Banos, Wilson COO. “Our engineers have more than 150 years combined experience in the design of radio frequency signal boosters and antennas. Their skill and dedication enable Wilson Electronics to build the best quality cell signal boosters available anywhere.”

Recent gripes regarding the iPhone's so-called “grip of death” that covered the antenna and blocked signals may have brought the issue of cellular reception into public focus, but the problem has existed for as long as cellular technology has. What we think of as a broad and comforting blanket of coverage is at best threadbare and at worst, a collection of tatters and patches.

We like to think that our wireless devices have brought the world closer together, but even in the center of our own country it has become a divisive factor. Coverage in rural America is often spotty or nonexistent and  while telecoms race to fill in gaps in the major cities on the coasts many are upset that they seem to have ignored this section of the country entirely. Though they may receive the most attention, cell phone users in major cities call still fall victim to service outages. It is humbling to think that the wireless signals modern life depends on, though invisible and intangible, can somehow be fragile. The ease at which cellular transmissions can blocked or disrupted is often hard to comprehend. New Yorkers riding the subway are used to commuting through dead space, but you don't need dozens of feet of concrete overhead to find yourself disconnected from the outside world.

Owners of homes with aluminum siding or metal frames have long reported signal interruption. The metal in these housing components can disrupt the signal and make a house feel more like a technological prison than a home.

So what is the solution? Some find success in upgrading their phone to one with a better transmitter of changing their service provider, but often times the simplest and cheapest  solution is to use a cellular signal amplifier. These devices will receive and amplify carriers' signals, turning one bar into 4 like a 3G magic trick. There's no hacking or law-breaking required, all you have to do is put the extender in a place that has reception and then plug it in or attach your phone, depending on the design.

As we become more reliant on wireless communication, we have seen signal amplifiers  grow in popularity. It isn't difficult to see them becoming even more integral to our lives as desktop PCs are gradually being replaced by smartphones and netbooks as the way Americans connect to the web. In a decade, we may see them as pre-installed options on cars, advertised enticements for hotels, or even must-have housewarming gifts in rural areas. Even better, as developing nations have forgone wired telephones in place of cheap-to-install cellular networks, cellular amplifiers may help further connect the world the same way the One Laptop Per Child initiative is helping bridge the technological gap in Africa. Hopefully, it won't be long until we will truly be connected to the whole world by the mobile device in our pocket.

Apple doesn’t build 3G into their laptops. AT&T doesn’t allow tethering on the iPhone and iPad. What do Mac owners do when they want Internet access while traveling?

There are a few mobile Internet connections available for Mac users that want to use their iPad while on the go. One is the Novatel MiFi line of Mobile Intelligent HotSpots. There are a few versions of the device, including a Verizon MiFi 2200 and the unlocked MiFi 2372 that works for other carriers. It’s a simple hand-held device with a battery life of about four hours.

The MiFi allows users to connect their MacBook Pro and iPhone, along with a few other devices while only paying for one 3G connection. The iPad 3G connection is priced at $15-30 per month, but it’s additional to the price you’re paying for your iPhone and MacBook internet connection.

Novatel will soon release a MiFi with a GPS add on. This will allow MiFi owners to geo-tag photos with the coordinates of where they took the photos.It’s a great feature that will improve the Novatel MiFi experience.

The Novatel MiFi also works with VoIP software like Skype and Google Voice with Gizmo5 integration. It will allow iPhone users to get rid of their AT&T voice plans and focus solely on data, talking through VoIP connection instead of the voice plan. If you’re an iPad owner and don’t want to pay extra for a 3G connection, check out the MiFi device for a 3G connection that you can share along with the same speeds you’ve come to expect from a 3G connection.

If you really enjoy a great internet connection, check out the Sprint Overdrive 3G/4G mobile hotspot. It’s an additional fee but it’s the fastest wireless connection available. It’s 4G, meaning it works on a WiMAX connection where available. Sprint and Clearwire teamed to launch WiMAX in 33 U.S. markets, including Chicago, Las Vegas and Philadelphia. If you’re a Mac owner in one of these areas, check out CLEAR internet service, its WiMAX and there’s a hotspot option with them. Simply plug a USB modem into the CLEAR Spot and you’ve got CLEAR service for up to eight devices. It connects to the network anywhere there is WiMAX, no roaming. The devices for 4G are more expensive, but for the speeds, it’s totally worth it.

So, there’s a ton of options for iPad owners when looking to connect to the internet. Quantum-Wireless.com has a complete selection of MiFi devices, including the Verizon MiFi, the MiFi 2372, which works with North American frequencies, the MiFi 2352, which works on European frequencies and the Sprint version. With the Sprint and Verizon editions, you would need to get a contract with the specific carrier, the unlocked versions mean you take an activated data SIM card and insert it into the device and off you go. The unlocked version works with SIM cards from AT&T, Rogers Wireless and other top carriers.

There are also the accessories like the MiFi car charger and additional MiFi 2372 battery and MiFi 2200 battery.

AT&T’s coverage area has been the subject of much ridicule from competitors. What are AT&T users to do when looking for a signal while traveling?

The Wilson Sleek is a portable device that that is a nice small unit with a cradle, charger and antenna. The Wilson Electronics Sleek works for iPhones and AT&T users. The iPhone includes a signal strength tester so you can see where there are weak spots in the network. The Wilson Sleek provides an improved signal anywhere on the road. It’s perfect for road warriors that use an AT&T iPhone while traveling.

Users will never lose a signal again with the Wilson Sleek mobile cell signal booster. Quantum-Wireless.com has a complete selection of Wilson Electronics products along with the Wilson Sleek. It’s the perfect companion for iPhone owners that spend time on the road.

Novatel Wireless has given the MiFi a lift. It’s added more media sharing and backup features. The device works by using your 3G connection of your data card and putting it in the MiFi device. The MiFi acts as DLNA server on an microSDHC and will play it to any app or device that recognizes the sharing format. Devices that can now connect to the Novatel MiFi include Playstation 3, along with the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. Connect with such apps as PlugPlayer. To start it only works with the unlocked version of the MiFi 2372 but should work with other MiFi hot spots in the future.

All MiFi users can use the new backup service, NovaDrive. It allows an unlimited amount of online storage for users. The data can be accessed from most any device that’s connected to the MiFi. The files are encrypted and the router itself can be tracked if lost by using the 3G’s GSM connection and Google Maps.

NovaDrive is available now. It costs $50 a year for a single user’s personal access. There’s a $15 montly service that allows sharing between an unlimited number of users, through a laptop.

These are some of the great features of the MiFi hot spot. Quantum-Wireless has a complete collection of MiFis. The MiFi 2352, which works primarily on European frequencies, the MiFi 2372, which works as the unlocked U.S. version, the MiFi 2200, which works on Verizon’s network.
