Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565February 7, 2013 | Proximo Proximity Monitoring System Review“The Proximo Proximity Monitoring System is a cinch to set up and its polished iOS app is intuitive to use[...] One feature I found useful was that you can customize the picture of the fob and tag in your app, so you know exactly what object belongs to what tracking unit.[...] If you're already in the market for an electronic leash, this ecosystem of tags and key fobs is simple to use and I'd recommend it over ZOMM's monitoring system (despite it having a built-in speaker) just based on sheer ease of use.” -- Lynn LaOnline Circulation: 18.3 million unique readers a month

Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565February 18, 2013 | Best Accessory Finalists“Kensington's Proximo products can help you use the power of technology to ensure you don't lose, or have your stolen, your important devices--and if you do, you'll be able to track them. The Proximo starter kit includes a fob for your keychain and a Bluetooth tag. When you've got the Proximo app installed on your iPhone, the key fob can get an alert when the iPhone is more than a set distance, can help you find your keys, and can track the location of any item you add the tag to. Then, if something goes missing, use GPS to locate and retrieve it.” -- StaffOnline Circulation: 502,478 unique visitors a month

Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565February 11, 2013 | Kensington Proximo Fob & Tag Starter Kit“The Proximo system can track up to four tags at the same time, each with its own customized name, icon, and sound effect. [...] Should you lose something, the app can be used to show you its last-known location for the fob or tag, and provide guidance to that location. [...] In our tests, the Proximo system worked just as expected. Once you move out of the selected range, the appropriate accessory begins to make noise." -- Nick GuyOnline Circulation: 257,565 unique readers a month

Kensington Proximo Starter Kit SKU #39565February 7, 2013 | The Kensington Proximo System Makes Your Valuables Unforgettable“I’m drawn to devices that strike a balance between utility, ease of operation and affordability. Too many features will raise the cost as well as the prospective complications. So when I got my hands on the Proximo monitoring system, I was immediately struck by the simplicity and convenience of it. [...] With this two-level alarm system, it should become very difficult for you to lose your stuff. And with a purely utilitarian design, free from flashy features, bells and whistles, the Proximo system will only make your life easier.” -- Brian KlemOnline Circulation: 2,602,068 unique readers a month

Kensington SafeDock Security Dock and Keyed Lock SKU# 67758February 20, 2013 | Don’t Get Apple Picked“Kensington, which makes a variety of locks, appears to have a solution for almost everything. Its laptop locks range in price from $30 to $60, and come with keys or use combinations. [...] Kensington's SafeDock Air is one option for securing Apple's lightweight laptop, which doesn't have a standard security slot. [...] As the name suggests, the SafeDock is a dock: Slide in your Air, flip up a security gate, and your machine is locked in. You still need a cable, though, to tie it down. The SafeDock is also ergonomic, providing a 4-inch lift for the laptop “for proper viewing." -- Ben BoychukOnline Circulation: 237,220 unique visitors a month

Within the app, you can set the sensitivity and a specific sound to allow you to control how far you are separated from your device before the alarm goes off[...] Even if your phone is on a silent mode, when the alarm is activated, you'll hear it." -- Gregg EllmanPrint Circulation: 184,656 unique readers a month

Kensington Protective Cover and Stand for iPad Mini SKU# 39718February 5, 2013 | Kensington iPad Mini Cover and Stand Review“It's pretty easy to insert and remove the mini from the tray, but once inserted, its secure with no worry of it falling out accidentally.[...] The cover can fold completely flat underneath the mini so that you can easily hold the tablet in one hand without having to deal with an uncomfortable bulge on the side like I’ve found with some cases.[...] It adds minimal bulk to the mini and feels good in my hand. I also like the color of the faux leather as there aren’t many iPad mini cases in this color.
