Thumping bass, unique styling, and cushy earpads make the iFrogz EarPollution CS (comfort series) headphones a good choice for someone looking for a value with on the ear headphones.

Conclusion

These are surprisingly good sounding headphones for the price. They are a good choice for a younger non-audiophile that wants to get away from earbuds and move to something with a little more comfort and punch. At a price of $40, they are an excellent choice for casual listening or to take along in your backpack. 

Pros

- Punchy Bass

- Comfortable ear padding

- Solid construction with a rugged cord

Cons 

- Highs less than spectacular, and sound muffled. Can be compensated for when you use the treble enhance in your iPod  equalizer

- No padding on the top section that rests on your head

Review: iFrogz MyFrogz Custom Luxe Case

iFrogz has started a new line of iPhone cases that let you customize the colors to suit your taste. Essentially it's their Luxe case, but now it's customizable.  Here is how it works. You head out to your local retailer and you purchase an Activation kit (a.k.a. a clear case and a redeemable code). They provide you with a clear case to give you something tangible to use and protect your phone until your new custom case arrives.  Once you are home and  you have your code handy you can either use the iPhone app (MyFrogz) or go to the iFrogz website and customize your case.  iFrogz sent me a redeemable code to review it, so I didn't have the opportunity to get the full experience with the clear case. 

I used the iPhone app to make my customizations and it was extremely easy.  There are two sections to the case - a top and a bottom, and you can flip through the available colors to get that perfect look for you. There were 25 colors (solid & semi-transparent) available on top and 18 solid colors on the bottom.  If you want a case  to be uniform, simply select the same color for both top and bottom.  I chose a two tone to get close to my favorite Maroon & Orange team, but they didn't offer a Maroon, so I went with Cherry Red and it was acceptable for me. If you want to be able to see your Apple logo on the rear of the phone, choose one of the semi-transparent frost colors.
