PolarPro’s accessories for the OtterBox uniVERSE iPhone case is the most complete and innovative system I’ve seen.
If you wonder what I mean by system, I’ll tell ya. First, the OtterBox case does exactly what the innovative case is supposed to do; protect your phone with its hard polycarbonate exterior while still giving you full access to all the device’s features.
The back has a small plate that slides out to attach to any of the seven modules PolarPro makes.
The modules include speakers, fisheye lens, tripods, a wallet and extra battery power.
—The Powerpack ($49.99), like all the other modules, slides out in a second and has a direct connection to the phone’s charging port.
Inside is a rechargeable 2100 mAh battery but the great thing about these modules is once you’re done using them and in this case charging up your phone, just take it off.
When the battery needs a recharge, your phone isn’t hostage to the charger like a full battery case.
—If better sound is your thing, the slim profile Beatpulsar ($59.99) adds a dual speaker system that connects to your phone via Bluetooth. Inside is a rechargeable battery, good for about 8 hours of tunes.
The speaker has a microphone, making it a great tool for a speakerphone.
—The Stash ($19.99) is a wallet that attaches to the back and can store up to three credit card-sized items.
It securely attaches to the case and is only removed when you want it removed.
—The Fisheye ($29.99) camera lens has a 2-in-1 design with a wide-angle and macro lens. What makes it great is it works with the front and rear cameras. The Fisheye is a 0.67x wide-angle lens and screws off to expose the macro lens.
Other accessories include the Trippler tripod system ($49.99), Trailblazer an armband module ($34.99) and the Stance compact tripod ($29.99).

My iPhone now helps me walk in comfort thanks to my ExoSOLS custom foot insoles from SOLS.
The all-new wearables for your feet are custom 3D printed orthotics, which are made with an iPhone app.
After downloading the app (iOS and Android) and setting up an account, have someone take photos of all sides of your feet with the smartphone, then upload to SOLS within the app.
ExoSOLS technology, takes your images and identifies key areas of your feet and takes the biochemical data to produce the orthotics, tailored to your feet.
With the images, answers to a few questions on how your current shoes wear and your shoe size, height and weight, the ExoSOLS are produced with patent pending technology.
I had the customized insoles delivered to my door in less than a week and instantly realized they fit perfectly.
The base is made of Flexxon, a proprietary polymer (3 mm thick) that allows your orthotic to be elastic yet strong with the right amount of flexibility. You can chose one of two top cover fabrics that are anti-microbial, moisture-wicking and odor-controlling.
I’ve found them to be incredibly comfortable in both dress and athletic shoes for long and short periods of time. There’s no adhesive necessary, since they are a perfect fit so they slide in and out of any shoes in a second.
My feet need more support in the arch, which the Sols gave me. The PurePosture Arch is designed to prevent your arch from collapsing and promotes proper alignment.
According to SOLS, the foot supports give users proper posture, improving stability and comfort from the biomechanical stress of everyday life. They stabilize your gait and support your arch, while absorbing shock to redistribute pressure for immediate comfort and support.
The Sols guarantee, “take us for a 30 day test run. If we don’t put a skip in your step we’ll refund you fully, no sweat.”
