Logitech Illuminated Keyboard review
Reviews Aside from the extremely thin 9.3mm profile, the entire keyboard is black with a small, clear plastic border that doesn't serve a purpose other than to highlight the flat surface of the keys. Underneath the keyboard, you'll find two small plastic...

Hands-on with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone
Crave The plastic doesn't exude quality and it's not as attractive as some of Nokia's other phones, such as the 6300 or E71. We'd like to be able to say that Nokia's first touchscreen phone, the 5800 XpressMusic, blew us away.

Ion Audio Block Rocker review
Reviews All other audio inputs are located on the front of the Block Rocker, along with large plastic knobs for adjusting input gain and volume output. Options are limited for those who want to make an obnoxious amount of noise outdoors -- boom boxes take...

Nokia 5220 XpressMusic review
Reviews In fact the only thing we don't really like about the very conventional Nokia design is the corrugated plastic enclosure around the back. Nokia's new 5220 XpressMusic arrives as innovation in the mobile phone arena remains a little stagnant; most...

Samsung SyncMaster T240HD review
Reviews This is a clear plastic coating over the black bezel with subtle red highlights, which is most visible along the bottom edge. The 24-inch Samsung SyncMaster T240HD is a HDTV disguised as a monitor. The on-screen display (OSD) menu design is taken...

Sony not alone in displaying OLEDs at Ceatec 2008
Crave NEC is showing a 9-inch LCD display a 3D image without the need for those silly plastic frames. Sony has an entire wall of its 11-inch XEL-1 OLED TVs set up here at Ceatec 2008 in Chiba, Japan, but in contrast with past gadget shows, it's not the...

LG Renoir review
Reviews Its touchscreen lies behind a plastic casing that doesn't have the same quality feel as the iPhone's glass housing, but it results in a lighter overall feel. Taking the Viewty touchscreen concept to the next level, the LG Renoir is a serious 8...

Ultimate Ears triple.fi 10 Headphones review
Reviews On the plus side, the moldable plastic surrounding the wire closest to the earpieces allowed us to securely loop the cord over the ear, which kept the earphones in place despite the fit issues. Ultimate Ears has been a familiar name to musicians...

Creative Zen Mozaic review
Reviews Its all-plastic enclosure features a small 128x160-pixel LCD screen, a four-way control pad and entirely front-mounted menu and function buttons. With its main competitor -- the iPod nano -- selling at £150 for 16GB, the 16GB Mozaic, at £120, could...

Sharp Aquos 32XL8E review
Reviews The bezel is also quite thin, making the TV look compact and appealing to people who don't want the focus of their room to be a great big slab of black plastic. If you want a smart-looking TV that supports 'full HD' resolutions, includes 100hz...

Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus review
Reviews It does have a plasticky feel -- not that surprising seeing as it's made of plastic -- but it's perfectly solid, without too much creaking and no flex in the frame. While this is over the budget odds of the Flip Video ilk, if you bear in mind that...

Logitech Squeezebox Boom review
Reviews It's encased in a glossy black plastic and resin, with soft-touch controls, top-mounted alarm clock buttons and a terrific dot-matrix display. Since giving Logitech's Squeezebox Duet music streamer an epic rating of 9.3, we've been eager to see...

Sony Reader PRS-505 review
Reviews Also, since the case is made from metal rather than plastic it feels much sturdier than competitors such as the Bookeen Cybook. Because it's made out of aluminium rather than plastic, the PR-505 is heavier than most of the other ebook readers we've...

Pioneer Kuro PDP-LX5090 review
