LifeProof frē Case for Apple iPhone 6: Shield your iPhone 6 from drops, dirt, water and snow with this durable, lightweight case. It protects your whole phone while still allowing you to use all of your phone's buttons and features, including Touch ID.
Every year I purchase the newest iPhone model on release date and I always start with buying one of Apple's cases. After seeing a bunch of my friends with their otter boxes and life proof cases, I decided to go ahead and buy one as soon as Best Buy got them in stock. Lifeproof has done a pretty good job with this particular case and it does its job very well. I have used the phone in the pool multiple times without any problems. Some of the things I really like about this case is obviously the durability, waterproofability, and the ability to plug in Apple's earphones without using an adapter. However, most, if not all, third party chargers will not fit the hole at the bottom of the lifeproof FRE which can be a hassle unless you always have Apple's on hand. While the case is a little pricey, Lifeproof's customer service did an amazing job with replacing my damaged case and I received the new one in retail packaging within a week. One thing to watch out for with this case is that even though there is a built in screen protector, the quality of the screen protector is not like the quality of a tempered glass protector and it will scratch! Overall, one of the best waterproof solutions for the new iPhone 6!

After owning the smaller UE Boom for a year, I saw that UE released another version of the product that was bigger, louder, more durable, and had better battery life. The second I saw the differences, I immediately got in my car and drove to best buy to buy myself what was labeled as the UE Megaboom. Right out of the box, I noticed the differences immediately. The bass is improved significantly over the smaller Boom, the volume was reasonably louder, and the software was much better. The ability to turn the speaker on and off without having to touch the physical speaker is much more useful than one would think. I should also note that I was able to pair my new UE Megaboom with my UE Boom for a stereo L and R setup without a problem. I've taken this speaker everywhere with me and it's durability has been tested at the beach, in the pool (yes, I literally put it on a float in the pool and it was sitting in water), and under the burning hot sun. This speaker has never had any overheating issues and truly is waterproof. The UE Megaboom has produced enough volume everywhere I have used it. The battery life is also fantastic; if it's charged overnight, there shouldn't be too much of a problem with the speaker getting through the whole day unless you're blasting it at 100% the whole time. Another amazing feature is the 360 degree sound which allows me to put it in places such as kitchen island and hear the same sound from anywhere around it. Overall, this is the very best speaker you can get for the money.

After graduating from four years of college as a mechanical engineering major, I purchased the Bose SoundLink Mini as a graduation gift for my best friend. Throughout my studies, I had been using my UE Boom and UE Megaboom for my portable sound needs. However, I decided that my friend would prefer Bose because of the brand and because she already owned other Bose products. After unboxing the Bose SoundLink Mini and charging it up with the included charging base, I paired my iPhone 6 and played some music. I was very surprised by the bass output of this speaker. While the volume wasn't as great as my UE Booms, the bass from this little speaker and the sound quality seemed better. Overall, this is one of the best speakers you can get for the price. For indoor use, I would choose the Bose over the UE but for more active people like myself, one might want to consider the durability of the UE bluetooth speakers.
