The higher-end Cogito (Classic) which retails at a recommended R2499 differs from its counterpart (Pop) – at a lesser R1299 – by offering Caller ID and giving you the option to mute incoming calls, as well as the ability to tap the watch to light it up so you can see your alerts and a phone finder option. Gammatek’s presser boasted that both watches will easily last up to a year before you need to replace the battery, a remarkable length of time that’s likely the result of Bluetooth 4.0+LE support. The watches are compatible with iOS 7 and Android 4.3+, have camera and music controls and watch (pun not intended, but welcome) for both these wearables at Incredible Connection, Dion Wired, select Vodacom stores and your usual consumer electronic stores.

Starting with Boy Glove, the Body Glove Saturn range is a lightweight, shock absorbent casing – available in a slightly muted, natural Yellow, Purple, Blue, Green and Black colour options. your GS5 is “unapologetically” plastic to start with, of course, but you can give it extra protection with an additional, colorful mesh-style plastic case, this also comes as a FlipCover.

Then there’s the Body Glove Clownfish, which is a lightweight, shock absorbent and easy-to-apply case it is the ideal case to compliment and protect the aesthetics of the Samsung Galaxy S5. It comes in the same five colors as the phone itself, so you can either match the phone or mix it up with a secondary color. There’s also a black option if you want to tone things down a bit.

Next up: The White Diamonds mobile cases that are handcrafted with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS which comes in very different color options — Pink, White, Rose Gold and Crystal — and therefore gets a different set of bumper features such as Scratch resistance and dirt repellent. These cost about R399.

Lastly. we focus on Speck and their two GS5 offerings; Candyshell Grip (available in Black/Slate Grey and White/Black combinations) and the sleek, glossy CandyShell. These are made of polycarbonate on the outside and protective microfiber on the inside, and come in softer colors that are a bit tricky to describe (not least because this writer is monochrome color blind): some kinda grey, some kinda white-ish, some kinda… or just look at the image after the break. All these ad-ons are available from Gammtek and range betweem R99 – R399.

SA introduction of the SMS Audio line is all thanks to the guys at Gammatek. “With the new products from SMS Audio we are providing consumers with even more options to enjoy the mobility and convenience of music with professional sound quality.” Comments Zev Cherniak from Gammatek. There are two models in the line: the Sync Wireless On-Ear and Street Wired over-ear editions.

If you fancy picking up a set of the wireless Syncs, then it’ll cost you R2999. The on-ear wired Streets are R499. Both these earphones are available in cool silver or shadow black from Gammatek.
