Price: $34.95

Its dual-layer design combines a hard, impact-resistant exterior with a shock-absorbent lining that doesn’t just protect your beloved smartphone from scuffs and scratches, but from those occasional screen-shattering falls as well. It also has textured ridges on its back that provide even the sweatiest of palms with plenty of grip.

The CandyShell Grip is available in a range of pretty colors — including “Shocking Pink” and Caribbean green — priced at $34.95, and it’s worth every penny.

I don’t know about you, but I think I might be tired of seeing the “All New HTC One” when it gets its official unveiling later this month. The new device has again been leaked in a “quick review” video uploaded to YouTube, which showcases some of the handset’s design changes and its KitKat software.

Alongside the two-minute clip, the handset has appeared in yet another high-quality image gallery.

HTC might as well cancel its March 25 event in New York City, because the leakers are doing a great job of unveiling the “All New HTC One” ahead of time.

SkipLock was one of the greatest applications to make its way onto Google’s Play Store throughout the whole of 2013. Unfortunately, it was released at the very tail end of December after the cut off date for our Best Apps of 2013 roundup, so, as a result, we’ve decided to give the app its very own review right here on Cult of Android.

First released bearing the name “Unlock with WiFi” back in 2012, but redesigned and rebranded last year, SkipLock is one of those extremely useful apps that you never really open, but you know is always there, running in the background with the simple objective of making your life significantly easier.

The first reviews for the Samsung Galaxy Gear rolled in last week, and just as we suspected, they weren’t all that positive. While almost all had good things to say about the device, they also agreed that it was rushed and unfinished, lacking key features, and in need of improvement in a number of areas — most importantly in notifications and battery life.

But while the device itself may not be all that impressive, its first TV commercial is.
