The PC above has enjoyed some case modding tender loving care. What started off as an average case has been turned into something awesome. I’ve seen some case mods that look like robots and statues. They look like a lot of work. This Borderlands casemod may appear to be simple in comparison but it took [...]

An up close review of the Sony Xperia L
The Sony Xperia L shapes up well. The phone feels good in the hand, solid and yet responsive to touch and with a graceful design. It enjoys the integrated suite of Sony goodies as well as features like the Sony Fitbit app. The phone itself probably will not wow you. The thing is; the Xperia [...]
GlaDOS ceiling lamp – in your very own home
Look impressive? You can have this GlaDOS ceiling lamp in your own home. That’s right; it’s a 3D printed creation. You can pick up the 3D print files at Thingiverse.com, the instructions at Instructables.com and 3D printers are getting easy to find. Staples.com, for example, sells them.
The real life, handmade, Dead Space plasma cutter
Laser Gadgets are at it again. They’ve appeared before on Geek Native, including this impressive WristBow, but with this Dead Space model Priebe takes it up a notch. The video is typical Priebe in style. There’s no backing track – but it’s not silent, listen out for the sound the cutter’s system makes as it [...]
A hands on review of the Xperia Tablet Z
Let’s talk about the specs later. It’s not the technical capabilities on Sony’s 10.1” tablet that grab your attention when you pick up the Xperia Tablet Z. What you notice is the size. This tablet feels very light. It’s very slim. I think this is important. In discussions with geeks who have tried to go [...]
Free codes and a review of lekiosk
I’m a big fan of digital comic book services like Comixology and Dark Horse’s own app. Thanks to these apps I’ll buy more digital comic books in a week than I’ve bought in paper in a year. Easily. I wondered whether there are similar apps that worked with magazines rather than comic books. There certainly [...]
The Geek Native hands on review of the HTC One
I’ve bought an HTC One. It wasn’t the one I wanted. I want 64GB in black but it was only possible to pre-order the 32GB. Then HTC announced they didn’t have the black in stock, we’d already suffered through delays, and the email suggested switching to silver and getting a free screen protector. I switched. [...]
Steampunk casemods inspired by BioShock
This fantastic casemod was created by Redditor CodyOdi. It very much looks like BioShock was the inspiration for the design and it’s hard to imgine a better machine to play the game on.
The world’s smallest smartphone charger
[Back this Campaign] At the time of posting, the Kickstarter campaign for Fuel, the world’s smallest smartphone charger, has 18 days to go and has raised more than twice the $20,000 they asked for. Technology wise this campaign just makes sense and it’s a surprise to see big players aren’t already in this space. My [...]

Today supporters of the WWF will be turning off the lights for Earth Hour. When it turns 8:30 in your neck of the woods consider doing the same. This video from late last year talks about futurisitc and energy saving highways that might start to be built in the Netherlands this year. It’s a good [...]
