Spring is here

  Hello everyone, the long cold winter is over and it is time to think about spring cleaning. I know this is not most peoples favorite subject, but lets think about our devices. We keep them in a covered in a case all winter long, and we all know how the device screen is a germ magnet, so now it is time to clean them too.
  First take off the case, get a soft damp (not wet) cloth ( an old tee shirt works well), put just a couple of drops of soap on it and clean the case both inside and out. Get another dry cloth or use a dry portion of the damp one and dry the case.
  Now for the device. First be sure the device is powered off, or better yet remove the back cover and battery. (you can live without it for 10 minutes)!You can still use the damp cloth like the case, just be careful not to soak the device. If you have removed the rear cover be sure to clean the inside of the cover, but be careful not to get the internal of the device wet. After cleaning the rear cover, set it aside to dry. Get an old toothbrush, do not wet it, clean around the protruding buttons and bezels GENTLY, let the bristles do the work. Now gently clean the screen with the damp cloth and gently dry it with a soft dry cloth. There are also commercially available electronic cleaning cloths which you can pick up at most any electronics store.
  After ensuring the parts are dry, reassemble the device (if you removed the rear cover), re-install the case and power on the nice clean device.
  Now to get rid of that hidden pocket lint. I recommend cleaning the headphone and charging ports with a toothpick or small paperclip VERY GENTLY!!!!  After using this method you can also use some compressed air like you use on you computer keyboard.

  If you have any questions contact me through the comments.

iOttie QI Wireless charging car dock

   I use this dock daily and move it from one vehicle to another to suit my driving habits, and now cannot imagine being without it!

 This model has a very strong suction cup mount for easy dash/desk mounting, has a nice low profile, and swivels 360 degrees for easy viewing at any angle and provide limitless options for placing this dock in a way as to not interfere with your driving vision. It is big enough to fit my naked Nexus 6 easily, so it should be no problem to fit your device.

  Pros

1. easy to use dash and windshield mount holds extremely well, even on gravel roads (read dirt and “washboards”) with no excessive vibration
2. easy one hand device insertion into the dock
3. wireless charging of course!
4. good build quality for the price point

  Cons

1. The charging cord shipped with the dock is too short to allow for some mounting locations (but it is easy to replace this, just be sure the charger is 2A minimum)
2. No easy way to remove the device one handed
3. Must be careful when inserting device in the dock, it will interfere with the volume button on my Nexus 6 when in the best charging position if not done with care
4. The dock seems to have trouble charging if using Bluetooth and have the screen on for long periods (IE Maps or other navigation apps)

 Overall I would recommend this dock if you can live with the above mentioned shortcomings(IMHO). If not then wait for the updated version sure to come.
