H1-Touch |
|
A Division of Thermaltake |
Just as Luxa2 promises, the H1-Touch looks and feels like a luxury item. Even the package which it came in felt like an expensive item to have. On the top and sides of the package we found some stylish Luxa2 logos with a small print "A Division of Thermaltake".

Stylish design |
|
Out of the box |
A "Uniquely You" words are written on one side of the package. Luxa2 want you to feel comfortable and luxurious and stylish at the same time. The H1-Touch stand is rather small but very flexible. It comes with an introduction/manual to H1-Touch.

Six adjustable legs |
|
Secure stand |
H1-Touch has six adjustable legs which would act as a holder for your device. The stand is made out of the light but very sturdy aluminum. The holder is attached to the base with some screws. A unique design makes H1-Touch is easy to maneuver.

 |
Metal arms |
|
Non glide rubber |
The six arms are made from metal and supported by rubber, so there is no risk of scratching your device. The back plane of H1-Touch is made from non sliding rubber for extra protection from sliding off. Last thing Luxa2 wants is for your iphone to slide off and crack.

Stylish design |
|
Secure installation |
On the front of the unit where is a Luxa logo. Very stylish fonts and overall representation of the brand. We have used our PSP 2000 (slim) to see if H1-Touch would be a suitable fit. And it definitely was. The only problem was is that the lower part of the legs didn't really gapped the psp as you can see from the pictures.

Ready to go |
That's pretty much concludes the pictionary review.
Conclusion
Luxa2 definitely has some potentials. With H1-Touch it looks like an opening to a luxurious accessories for your every day activities. The H1-Touch really does stands out and brings out that luxury to your phone or accessory in our case our PSP 2000. The stylish design and the light weight structure really helps with the look and feel of this product. The 6 holding legs of H1-Touch are not as adjustable as you want them to be but still they do good job holding a device in place. There is one down side for this cool product, its the price. With a price tag 50$ this would be one of the expensive ipod/iphone holders i ve met. But lets face it, if you want to party, you got to pay:) Great product 10/10!
