Camera Armor for your DSLR Camera

Posted by Anton on September 26th, 2007

Safety comes first, especially when you take out your expensive DSLR camera for a spin. You already know that the world is a rough place for cameras, with all sorts of jagged nasties waiting to take their toll on your beautifully finished pride and joy. And the solution to that problem is Camera Armor – a close fitting stay-on glove for your Digital SLR. A solution that will definitely help you to add additional protection to your expensive photo equipment, especially when you take photos in an unfriendly environment, without needing to pay too much for it.

Each Camera Armor model is made from shock absorbing, flexible silicon-rubber, with each set designed to fit your digital SLR model like a glove. This ensures the best possible fit and protection while continuing to allow full access to all buttons, cable ports, and battery/memory compartments. The unique thing about Camera Armor is the fact that it protects your camera wherever you go, regardless of what you are doing. You put it on, and leave it on, so no matter what bumps life throws at you, your camera is protected.

Camera Armor products come with the “Body Armor”; an LCD shield made from polycarbonate that protects the screen from impact and abrasion; and the Lens Armor, a rugged protective ring that stretches to fit most common lenses. The Lens armor doubles as a sun hood, and can be rolled out of the way for wide angle shot. It even comes with a handy lens cap leash that attaches your lens cap to the lens armor with a silicone tab.

Currently there are Camera Armor kits designed specially for 10 digital SLR cameras: Canon EOS 30D, Canon Digital Rebel XTi (400D), Canon EOS 5D, Nikon D70/D70s, Nikon D80, Nikon D200, Nikon D40, Sony Alpha A100, Canon Mark II Series 1DN & 1DS and Fuji FinePix S5. The price for a complete Camera Armor kit is between $49.95 and $79.95, depending on the model.

Fonies Screen Cleaning Phone Charms

Does your mobile phone look ever so slightly dull? If the answer is yes, you could do with a few Fonies. These impossibly cute critters are set to take the world of mobile phone danglies (of course there’s one) by storm, because as well as being totally adorable they double up as screen cleaners. And while your beloved new companion may not appreciate being wiped all over a grubby screen, but after all your mobile’s screen is no longer an underused luxury; it’s an essential window to the wonders within, used for photography, picture messaging, gaming and more.

Screen cleaning aside, Fonies are a great way of personalizing your phone. And with several different characters to collect you can use them to change the appearance of your mobile to suit your every mood.

And while Fonies don’t light up, spin, dance, play tunes or even vibrate, but there’s something rather reassuring about dangling a squishy thingy from your phone. Maybe it’s their sheer simplicity that makes them so unfathomably desirable.

The Fonies will cost you about $8 each and there are quite a few different models.

It seems there is a company called Xpango that offers free next-gen consoles along with some other interesting things like iPhones, iPods and other cool new gadgets. Of course you’ll have to do something in order to get a free gadget from them, but the good news is that the process seems relatively simple and quick…

Xpango uses a unique Credit system to reward its users with Free Gaming Consoles, Mobile Phones and MP3 Players. In order to receive the free gadget you desire you have to get a given number of credits that you’ll then exchange for the console or the gift you’ve selected to receive. For example, for a Nintendo Wii console you’ll have to get 19 Credits and for an 8GB iPhone the credits will go up to 27, but don’t worry, you can easily accumulate the points you need. And in no time you’ll get not just one, but a few of these cool gadgets… ;)

There are several ways you can get the needed Credits you need for the the gadget you choose to receive for free…

1. By Participating in Xpango’s Offers.
This means you have to register for some service that you may find interesting or useful. Most offers reward you with 1 to 4 Credits for each participation, with some offering up to 6 Credits. And the best of all is that the majority of offers are absolutely FREE to participate in, meaning you can gain multiple Credits at no cost. That is the best way of starting to accumulate more Credits quick and easy in order to get your free gadget.

2. By Referring your Friends.
You can tell you friends about Xpango and get Credits, it is so simple. You’ll receive a Credit every time a person you refer registers and activates their Xpango account (activation can be from your friend completing an Xpango offer or purchasing a product). This way you can receive unlimited Credits by telling your friends about Xpango and getting them interested in this service. Just tell all of your friends and let them help you get your new gadget, while at the same time they will get on the way of receiving a gadget they want for free.

3. By Purchasing a Mobile Accessory / Clix Package.
This is the least interesting way, because you’ll have to really spend some money in order to gain Credits and your idea is probably getting the console absolutely free of charge. Nevertheless by buying a relatively cheap mobile accessory you can gain 1 Credit. Also buying a Clix Package means you are paying for an advertising banner that can help you refer more people and thus increase your Credits. When you buy Clix Package you get 1 Credit and up to 250-450 people that may become your referrals, so even if only 10% of them get you a Credit you can still receive your free gadget.

The best way in gaining enough Credits to receive your desired gadget is to combine all the tree ways so you can earn enough credits in no time at all. And after you get a Nintendo Wii console for example you can continue earning more credits for another free gadget like a Playstation 3, XBox 360 or an 8GB iPhone or some other cool new gadget.
