HTC Offering Big Savings Today on Nexus 9, M9 and RE Camera

Today only over at HTC, they have a huge sale going on their most popular devices and accessories that are really impressive.  While supplies last or the end of the day today, you can get 25% off the M9 Android Phone, 40% off the Nexus 9 Android tablet, 50% off the RE Camera and 50% off accessories for these devices.  That means you can pick up the Nexus 9 tablet for example for as low as $239.40.

While HTC as a whole has been struggling, they do make some outstanding devices and their build quality is great.  I’ve had plenty of their devices over the years and they always held up well to my daily wear-and-tear.

Review of iClever 6-Port USB Travel Charger – Great Value for a Reliable Travel Accessory

As I’ve pointed out many times before on this blog, I travel. A lot.  If I’m not at home then I’m likely in an airport and after well over 1 million miles of travel in my life, I’m always looking for ways to make it easier.  A few weeks ago, the Hisgadget team sent me the iClever 6-port USB Travel charger to review and I’ve been using it consistently over those weeks during my travels to see how well it performs and its durability.  I have to say on both counts, I’m quite impressed.  The iClever charger handled the wear-and-tear of being in and out of my travel bags without any damage or even the slightest view of wear.  Equally as important, the iClever quickly and efficiently charged both my OnePlus One and my Galaxy Tab 4 but also my Fitbit.

Priced at only $25.99 on Amazon, the iClever 6-Port USB Travel charge is an accessory you should take a lot at if you are looking for a quick and efficient way to charge your devices while at home or on the road.
