Wireless Lapel Mic for Cisco Conference Calls

I was recently asked by one of our VP’s to investigate a way for people who are at a remote location to participate in a presentation at our corporate office.My first thought was video conferencing, but video wasn’t necessary because participants didn’t need to see each other.The only real requirement was to see the presentation slides and hear the presentation audio.Since we have a Cisco Meetingplace server I figured that would be easy.The challenge was the VP wanted the presenter to be heard clearly and not have to speak directly into a phone.He suggested we find a wireless lapel mic.

After looking at the 7937 product data sheet it noted that the phone supports "a third-party lapel microphone kit". I assumed this was a Polycom product since the Cisco conference phones are made by Polycom.
I opened a chat session on Cisco’s website.Both a Cisco agent and his supervisor said they didn’t know how the lapel mic worked.They also didn’t know where I could get one.They recommend…

Otterbox Commuter versus Symmetry for iPhone 6

This is a brief comparison video of the Otterbox Commuter Series versus the Otterbox Symmetry Series for the iPhone 6. I've been a huge fan of Otterbox cases for years because of the protection that they provide for the cost. Other cases will offer more protection or cost less, but not at the same time. Additionally, some of the Otterbox cases that they've begun to offer in the past few years offer great protection with little bulk. I was sold when I watched YouTuber MobileSyrup repeatedly throw his phone down the sidewalk and road with no damage using a relatively thin Otterbox Reflex case. The other huge plus here is I got my iPhone on launch day and both of these cases were available for purchase that day. Watch the video below to see which case I think wins out between the two and why.

LifeProof Nuud Plus Alpha Glass

One of the questions I've received most on my LifeProof Nuud reviews is “Can you use it with a screen protector?” That seems a little odd since the whole point of the Nuud case is to make your phone water resistant while allowing direct access to the touch screen. But people really like screen protectors. Better yet, they really like tempered glass screen protectors. It's not that all LifeProof Nuud customers don't want a screen protector, it's just that they don't want the plastic one that's built into the LifeProof Fre. For those customers LifeProof has made this. This is the LifeProof Nuud plus Alpha Glass for iPhone 7. This came out just two days after I published my indepth review of the LifeProof Nuud for iPhone 7. LifeProof was kind enough to send this to me for a quick update video to make everyone aware that this highly requested option is now available.
