Aukey Smartphone Magnetic Car Mount ~ Review

Aukey recently sent Genuine Jenn one of their Magnetic Car Mounts for a smartphone. I tested it out for the last week and want to share what I think about this product. I like to keep my phone available for my GPS when I am heading somewhere I am not 100% sure where I am going this mount comes in super handy for this. It is very simple to use and the cost is perfect.

The Aukey magnetic car mount comes in two pieces. The magnet that attaches to your cars air vent with a small clamp. This has four permanent magnets in a little circle with a grey rubber over it. This is a closed forced field that effectively reduces magnetic force beyond short range as to not interfere with your smartphone or tablet. 

The kit includes two different size mounts that you attach to the inside of your cell phone case.  The work best with thinner cases. I have a super think case on my phone, very similar to an Otterbox. My case comes in two parts, a rubber that goes directly onto my cell phone and than a plastic case that fits over top. I find this car kit is a little hard to use with my case but I attached the larger magnet inside the plastic part of my case. You could also place it on the outside back of your case if you don't mind it showing. I do find that the clamp should be higher up on the vent and the magnet on the phone should be higher also to keep if from rotating or popping off when you hit a big bump on the road.
This is a great little stocking stuffer or a gift for those techies on your list. This car mount kit can be purchase on Amazon US or Canada.

Aukey SuperSpeed 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB ~ Review

I am a total tech geek, okay well maybe not a HUGE one but I do have a nice selection of techie stuff. I have my Samsung smartphone, a laptop, too many tablets and e-readers. WAIT... there is no such thing as too many tablets or e-readers, right?

I was recently asked to try out a few Aukey products from Amazon. Aukey sent over their SuperSpeed 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB. This is a great little tech gear for anyone that has the need for more USB ports and also a LAN port. I haven't needed the LAN port yet but I know there are sometimes that Wifi isn't available but you can connect by LAN, this will come in handy for sure. As for the USB ports I love having extras available in the event we are out I can charge a tablet, phone, e-reader all at the same time on my laptop. My son finds this great to hook up ear phones and a mouse while gaming.
This HUB is virtually plug and play. It does come with a little cd with the drivers but with Windows 8 or 10, it is just plug and play. The data transfer is super fasts with rates up to 5 Gbps making it super easy to sync files to either a PC or Mac.  



* Connect to the 1 Gigabit Ethernet port and access super fast network speeds of up to 1000Mbps. The fitted USB 3.0 Cable makes sure your data syncing is just as quick.
* A built-in surge protector will keep your devices safe, while complete backwards compatibility with all generations of USB will ensure that all of your existing USB devices work seamlessly.

It is also small and can easily fit in your laptop bag without adding weight or bulk. A great handy device.

The Aukey SuperSpeed 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB makes a great gift for all those Tech Savvy people on your Christmas list. Purchase an Aukey SuperSpeed 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB on Amazon US or Canada
