December 20, 2011 / Personalization

Otterbox is known for making two great phone cases – their Commuter (medium) and their Defender (super tough) series cases.

June 6, 2011 / Personalization

Ripple Lock is a basic Android application that mimics the stock home unlock / lock screen of the Android Honeycomb OS, on a non-Honeycomb device.
