Fabrix Utility Pouch
Ordered the Black Denim Utility Pouch from Fabrix Cases together with my Fabrix Sleeve For iPhone 5. Paid US$29.90 (S$36.67) for the utility pouch and an additional US$6 (S$7.35) for shipping via SingPost Registered Mail (within Singapore) for both items. Bought it on the 24th September 2012, shipped on the 26th September 2012 and I received the items on 28th September 2012.
Since my order is above US$50 (US$29.90 + US$21.90), I am entitled to the coupon FABRIX5OFF50, which gives me US$5 off and in total. Ended up, I paid US$51.80 + US$6 = US$57.80 (S$70.89) in total for both the Fabrix Sleeve For iPhone 5 & Fabrix Utility Pouch.
Fabrix Sleeve For iPhone 5
Ordered the Neutral Pack Grey Sleeve for my iPhone 5 from Fabrix Cases. Paid US$21.90 (S$26.85) for it.
It fits the iPhone 5 precisely to the point that it is a little too tight and hence removing the phone from the pouch is difficult. I hope after some season usage, it will be improve.
Adobe Acrobat XI
On 1st October 2012, Adobe announced Adobe Acrobat XI (11), the successor to Adobe Acrobat X (10) which was released almost 2 years ago on 15th November 2010.
In a nutshell, creating/editing PDF forms has been made much easier though a new bundled software called Adobe FormCentral (you can also choose to do it inside Acrobat XI as well).
Razer Goliathus Control Edition Mouse Pad (Small)
Bought the Razer Goliathus Control Edition Mouse Pad (Small) from CH Computers (#05-04) at Funan for S$16 for my office use. Do note that the same mouse pad is selling at Challenger for S$23!
I am currently using the free mouse pad that was given to me when I bought Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars back in 2007! It has been 5 years and I can’t image how much dirt has been collected on the surface of the mouse pad, so it is time for me to change!
Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2013
Time flies, it has been a year since the launch of Trend Micro Titanium Cloud Edition Maximum Security 2012.
This year, for Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security 2013, Trend Micro held the launch at GV VivoCity where it’s partners, Facebook Fans and bloggers all got invited to the launch, followed by a movie screening of Resident Evil: Retribution.
Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset Review + Giveaway
I am not really an audiophile, but I can hear the sound difference between headsets. I don’t own much headsets as I prefer earphones. The only headset I got is the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset by Monster which is retailing for S$298. The Logitech G930 Wireless Gaming Headset on the other hand is retailing for S$249 which is slightly cheaper.
To me, the sound on the Logitech G930 beats the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset. The sound produced on the Logitech G930 is sharper, clearer and have better bass quality (which is important to me), while of course the Nokia Purity HD Stereo Headset looks aesthetically nicer.
Google Nexus 7 Now Available In Singapore
The Google Nexus 7 is now available in Singapore 3 months after it was announced at Google I/O 2012.
The 16GB (Wi-Fi) model will be retailing for S$399 at selected major electronics store like Challenger (Funan & Jurong Point), Best Denki or Harvey Norman.

Apple Lightning to USB Cable (1m)
Bought the Apple Lightning to USB Cable from Funan’s Multimedia Integrated for S$28. They still have stocks the last I checked.
It is difficult to get the cable during this period as it is out of stock almost everywhere as everyone is rushing to get a spare cable for their car or office, and Apple Online Store lead time is 2-3 weeks!
