Our addiction to mobile devices had helped to promote the surge of external battery packs and additional means for charging on the go. Nothing is worse than a dead smartphone when you need it most. One of the many popular ways to keep a smartphone going is through a battery case. The battery cases kill two birds with one stone.

It gives the case a little something extra.  Easy install, snaps together In terms of thickness, this is quite likely one of the slimmest iPhone 5 battery cases out there. Hence the name of it, right? You're essentially doubling the iPhone 5′s profile, but only at a fraction of the weight. For a battery case, it's not that much heavier than, say, an Otterbox for the iPhone 5. Sure, there is a difference in protection, but the iHome case is still light and lean. The bumper and battery back provide cutouts for the power button, volume controls, camera, and also the Lightning port. They're not too deep for access either. That's the one very different aspect about this battery case – the open bottom.

I've mentioned before that traveling abroad means traveling light with a small point-and-shoot camera, but there are a few cases of exception. If you're traveling to any (or all, if you're a lucky SOB) of these 9 scenic travel destinations with the express intention of enriching your soul and gaining profound understanding of what it means to be a resident of this planet, you'd best do so with a digital SLR camera strapped around your neck at all times.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Active was nearly confirmed last week and the Android smartphone was recently shown off in a hands-on video. This new variant of the Galaxy S5 is expected to also have a heart-rate sensor and the same rear camera. The S5 Active will look a bit more durable and rough--maybe that's why it's called Active. The yet-to-be-released Samsung Galaxy S5 Active features a very clear display and possibly Quad HD at 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution. The phone shows the SM-G870A model number and that it's an AT&T version.
