Quite frankly, it’s cute with its hand-friendly size and color plastic casing – plus, it helps that it’s barely noticeable in the hand thanks to its light weight feel. For a handset targeted for emerging...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 16:37:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-Asha-501-hands-on_id43292/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>LG Spirit 4G hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Spirit-4G-hands-on_id43291</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43291-thumb/LG-Spirit-4G-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Let’s be honest here folks, there’s nothing attractive with the design of the LG Spirit 4G, since it’s pretty much going for the straightforward approach. Sure, it’s lacking the stylish design elements of LG’s other prized smartphones, like the Nexus 4 or Optimus G, but we’re most...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Wed, 22 May 2013 16:08:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Spirit-4G-hands-on_id43291/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Nokia Lumia 925 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-Lumia-925-hands-on_id43261</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43261-thumb/Nokia-Lumia-925-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Perfecting the craft, we can clearly see that Nokia is pushing the envelope each time they announce a new flagship Lumia device – and that’s the case here with the Lumia 925.

Still, we’ll mention that the Hydro EDGE is considerably easier to handle in the hand, as it’s light weight enough to hold comfortably – without being too...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 11:23:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Kyocera-Hydro-EDGE-hands-on_id43245/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Kyocera Hydro XTRM hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Kyocera-Hydro-XTRM-hands-on_id43244</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43244-thumb/Kyocera-Hydro-XTRM-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />To tell you the truth, the design of the Kyocera Hydro XTRM follows in the same direction as its long lost family member in the original Kyocera Hydro – so it’s a straightforward design that lacks any enticing elements to make it a drool worthy looking thing. Then again, that’s not...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 09:44:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Kyocera-Hydro-XTRM-hands-on_id43244/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cat B15 rugged Android smartphone hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cat-B15-rugged-Android-smartphone-hands-on_id43230</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43230-thumb/Cat-B15-rugged-Android-smartphone-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />At first glance, we thought that Cat B15 smartphone was some kind of ruggedized case, due to its mashed up color scheme. However, it becomes more evident that the design is based upon some of the many construction vehicles that Caterpillar is known to manufacture. Obviously, it’s not...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 21 May 2013 02:40:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cat-B15-rugged-Android-smartphone-hands-on_id43230/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>m: AL13 Ultra-thin Aluminum Bumper for iPhone 5 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/m-AL13-Ultra-thin-Aluminum-Bumper-for-iPhone-5-hands-on_id43014</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43014-thumb/m-AL13-Ultra-thin-Aluminum-Bumper-for-iPhone-5-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Seeing that it’s a bumper case, the AL13 is uniquely designed to not only protect the iPhone from bumps and bruises, but it also minimizes the amount of bulk it puts on. For starters, this is a serious bumper case, seeing that it’s fashioned from aerospace grade aluminum material...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2013 10:45:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/m-AL13-Ultra-thin-Aluminum-Bumper-for-iPhone-5-hands-on_id43014/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Nokia Lumia 928 unboxing and hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-Lumia-928-unboxing-and-hands-on_id43016</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43016-thumb/Nokia-Lumia-928-unboxing-and-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Verizon customers watch out, you have one snazzy Windows Phone heading your way very soon! Already, Big Red’s customer base has been exposed to the entry-level like Nokia Lumia 822, but we bet they’re drooling for something far better – specs and feature wise, of course...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2013 16:29:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokia-Lumia-928-unboxing-and-hands-on_id43016/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>X-Doria Engage Form VR Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/X-Doria-Engage-Form-VR-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id43013</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/43013-thumb/X-Doria-Engage-Form-VR-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Right from the moment we snapped our Samsung Galaxy S4 into place, our eyes just kept on staring at the optical illusion happening in the rear.

Rather than being a simple throw in your phone into a case scheme, the Cushi Plus actually requires some work on our part. Employing a 3D pad...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 12:31:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cushi-Plus-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-case-hands-on_id42883/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cygnett Form Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-Form-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42882</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42882-thumb/Cygnett-Form-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />With this specific case series, its most noteworthy aspect is the high gloss finish, which looks nice when it’s clean and all, but easily becomes a magnet for nasty baddies such as fingerprints and smudges. Heck, you’ll need a solid polish after each time it’s held because it can get a little bit...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 11:37:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-Form-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42882/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cygnett Feel Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-Feel-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42881</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42881-thumb/Cygnett-Feel-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Out of everything, it’s the soft touch feel of the case that really stands out most. Not only does it provide for a decent and soft grip in the hand, but it’s nice that the Cygnett Feel Samsung Galaxy S4 case has a very clean finish to its visage. Sure, it’s not trying to win any style points with its...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 13 May 2013 11:14:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-Feel-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42881/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Samsung Galaxy S4 S View Cover hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S-View-Cover-hands-on_id42821</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42821-thumb/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S-View-Cover-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />The S View Cover an official accessory tailor-made for the Samsung Galaxy S4. It is made of two pieces connected firmly together, one of them being a replacement for the smartphone's stock back plate, while the other is a flippy cover that protects the handset's entire front side. Putting the accessory on requires the removal of the phone's standard back cover and snapping the S View Cover in its place – a straightforward process that took us a few seconds to complete. But the S View cover is more than just a dumb piece of plastic...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2013 01:31:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S4-S-View-Cover-hands-on_id42821/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>LG Optimus G Pro Black Folio Case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Optimus-G-Pro-Black-Folio-Case-hands-on_id42833</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42833-thumb/LG-Optimus-G-Pro-Black-Folio-Case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Much like other recent flip cover cases, the one here for the LG Optimus G Pro follows in the same direction. Specifically, it replaces the stock back casing with an identical one – albeit, it’s attached to a flip cover case. Thankfully, we’re still greeted to the...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 14:27:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Optimus-G-Pro-Black-Folio-Case-hands-on_id42833/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cygnett WorkMate Evolution Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-WorkMate-Evolution-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42786</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42786-thumb/Cygnett-WorkMate-Evolution-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Right off the bat, we’ll say that the WorkMate Evolution adds just a bit of bulk to the Galaxy S4, which is warranted, but at least it’s not as bad as some military spec’d cases. Using a tri-material PC/TPU/silicone design, this two-piece case adds a sense of protection to the handset. With its...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 14:12:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-WorkMate-Evolution-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42786/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cushi Band Frame Case for Samsung Galaxy S4 hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cushi-Band-Frame-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-hands-on_id42787</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42787-thumb/Cushi-Band-Frame-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Utilizing a dual injection mold, which consists of polycarbonate and thermo-plastic polyurethane, the flexible Cushi Band offers protection around the entire edge of the Galaxy S4 – similar to Apple’s bumper case for its iPhone. However, it means that the rear casing and display are...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 09 May 2013 13:53:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cushi-Band-Frame-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-hands-on_id42787/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Case Scenario's Pantone Universe Bookcase for iPad mini hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Case-Scenarios-Pantone-Universe-Bookcase-for-iPad-mini-hands-on_id42742</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42742-thumb/Case-Scenarios-Pantone-Universe-Bookcase-for-iPad-mini-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />We’ll admit, the Pantone Bookcase for iPad mini really has a modern look to its design, as the Tap Shoe colored version we’re checking out has an attractive contrasting scheme. Specifically, the small white strip on the front helps to break up the balance with this mostly black satin...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 11:59:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Case-Scenarios-Pantone-Universe-Bookcase-for-iPad-mini-hands-on_id42742/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Spigen Neo Hybrid Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42740</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42740-thumb/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />So what’s different with this new version? For starters, the case itself is more flush and flat in the rear – whereas with the Galaxy S III one, it was more rounded around the edges. Nevertheless, it’s still comprised out of an inner thermoplastic polyurethane inner portion with a polycarbonate frame...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 10:48:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Spigen-Neo-Hybrid-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42740/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cygnett FlipFiber Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-FlipFiber-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42694</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42694-thumb/Cygnett-FlipFiber-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />By now, we’re all aware how some of the wallet cases for the Galaxy S4 tend to beef up the handset’s overall size, but with the Cygnett FlipFiber case, it actually does a magnificent job to minimize it as much as possible. Going further than that, we really like how the entire case is doused in...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 06 May 2013 17:05:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-FlipFiber-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42694/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>iSkin Exo Samsung Galaxy S4 case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/iSkin-Exo-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42690</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42690-thumb/iSkin-Exo-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Taking more of an aggressive stance than anything else, the iSkin Exo Samsung Galaxy S4 case might not be all that fashion conscious with its appearance, but more importantly, it looks as though it brings forth some much-needed protection. Unlike some of other fully ruggedized cases out...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Mon, 06 May 2013 13:45:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/iSkin-Exo-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-case-hands-on_id42690/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>LG Optimus G Pro hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-Optimus-G-Pro-hands-on_id42619</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42619-thumb/LG-Optimus-G-Pro-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Right away, the design will automatically draw comparisons to the Samsung Galaxy Note II.

Better yet, there are magnets placed around the front cover so that it stays firmly closed. And of course, cutouts...]]></description><category>News</category><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 13:38:00 -0500</pubDate><comments>http://www.phonearena.com/news/X-Doria-Dash-Pro-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Case-hands-on_id42571/comments</comments><author>Phone Arena</author></item><item><title>Cygnett UrbanShield Samsung Galaxy S4 Case hands-on</title><link>http://www.phonearena.com/news/Cygnett-UrbanShield-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Case-hands-on_id42569</link><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/article/42569-thumb/Cygnett-UrbanShield-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Case-hands-on.jpg" alt="" hspace="5" vspace="2" align="left" />Above all, the thing that catches our attention the most with this case is its attractive carbon fiber pattern in the rear.
