LifeProof iPhone and iPad cases

Available from www.lifeproof.com

LifeProof cases are the perfect present for anyone who owns an iPhone or iPad. These cases give users the confidence to take their iPhone and iPad with them wherever they go. Impressively, the cases deliver the highest level of water proof, shock proof and dirt proof protection, so your iPhone is safe even when dropped, scratched or bumped! A LifeProof case ensures it is fully sealed from dirt and dust. What’s more, as it is shock proof from two metres with an IP level of 68 which are the highest levels for dust and water. According to the Ingress protection ratings, the first digit is protection from solid objects, and 6 is the highest which is: Dust Tight Protection. The second digit is protection against moisture, and 8 is the highest which is: Protection against continuous immersion under pressure. The cases not only protect your iPhone or iPad but they can also turn your device into an underwater camera, brilliant for anyone active. Lifeproof ask you to test their products before putting your device into them just to ensure you seal the case correctly and to give you piece of mind that it will not leak. When I first tested the cases I was absolutely amazed that no water got into the case. It was very impressive especially due to the fact that the screen is not covered. When you press the screen while the device is in the case you are actually touching the screen not a cover so it is just a responsive as if there was no case on it. This is a big bonus, especially for me as I tend not to like using cases as the screen gets less responsive due to the additional layer. LifeProof cases are also brilliant if children like playing on your iPhone or iPad. The cases give the assurance that you can hand over your device and not have to worry about sticky fingers or panic about what state it may be returned in. It is also great for protecting your iPhone or iPad when cooking; eggs, flour, sugar etc can be easily washed off the case. The LifeProof case is available for iPhone 5, iPhone 4, iPad and iPad mini. There are a range of accessories, including a LifeJacket which makes it completely buoyant, so even if your device goes in to the water it will stay afloat. This is great when going on holiday or if you are a keen sailor! LifeProof cases are also available for Galaxy devices. The LifeProof cases are available from www.lifeproof.com. Prices start from £75.00.

Slendertone Face

Available from www.slendertone.com

Slendertone Face restores the youthful appearance of the face by toning and lifting the muscles naturally. The product is placed on the sides of the face like a headset and uses Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to gently stimulate the muscles by activating the main nerve which runs from the corner of the mouth to the ear. In doing this, the Slendertone Face increases muscle mass to help restore the original toned shape of the face, and tightens the overlying skin. This is a non-invasive alternative to fillers or surgery which offers users facial rejuvenation in 6 – 12 weeks. Within two weeks users will start to experience the benefits including an increase in blood flow and circulation to the face – giving them a healthy glow. It is recommended you use Slendertone Face five times a week for 20 minutes for the first 12 weeks. After the initial 12 weeks, Slendertone recommends using it twice a week for 20 minutes to maintain muscle tone and shape. Slendertone is very easy to use. It initially feels strange, but pleasant to use and once you have become accustomed to the sensation you can increase its intensity. Slendertone face comes with the Slendertone headset, a unit which allows you to set the time and intensity, pads for a 12 week course and a charger. The unit is very easy to use and you will be able to set the time and intensity with great ease. The pads are also very easy to attach.
