The Spyslide: World’s Most Elegant Webcam Cover
What is it?
The Spyslide is a very small stainless steel sliding privacy cover for your laptop’s webcam.
Why do I like it?
I like the Spyslide because it easily protects your privacy in the event that someone hacks your computer to view through your computer’s built-in webcam. The Spyslide is much smaller and thinner than the SPIshutter webcam cover that I reviewed a few years ago. Another advantage of the Spyslide over other products like this one is that it can be used with laptops, desktops and even tablets.

MultiCinches are ties that are made of a stretchy thermoplastic. The ties can be used to wrap cables, hang things, and you can even play with them like a fidget toy.

Loog Pro & Loog Mini: The ultimate beginners’ guitars
What is it?
The Loog Pro & Loog Mini are small 3 string guitars that have been designed to make it easy for kids and adults to learn to play guitar.
Why do I like it?
I purchased the original Loog guitar which came as a built-it-yourself kit. Building my own guitar was very fun, but there were some issues with playability due to string height. The new Loog guitars come pre-assembled. Which is a bummer in a way since you don’t get the fun of building it yourself. But, I assume that they are setup a lot better than the originals. I’d love to get my hands on one of the new ones because they look cool and fun to play. I play the ukulele which has 4 strings. The Loog instruments have just 3 strings, which means they should be even easier to play than a uke!
Where can I find more info?
With 23 days left in the campaign, The Loog Pro & Loog Mini campaign has already surpassed their funding goal of $30,000. You can pre-order a Loog instrument starting at $59 for the Loog Mini. After the Loog campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in June 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Arceo Wallet | The Premiere Magnetic Carry System
What is it?
The Arceo Wallet is a precision CNC milled Carbon Fiber wallet from Ronin Energetics, who has other EDC products that we’ve reviewed in the past.
Why do I like it?
I like the Arceo Wallet because it’s been designed to not only carry credit cards, but it also has a built-in compartment that can hold cash, coins, a key, or small tools. The compartment is secured using embedded neodymium magnets. There is also an optional key holder module that you can attach to the wallet to hold your two most used keys. Last but not least, this minimalist wallet looks really cool and unique. I’m a sucker for interesting wallets and this one definitely meets that criteria.
Where can I find more info?
With 43 days left in the campaign, The Arceo Wallet campaign has already reached their funding goal of $3,642. You can pre-order an Arceo Wallet starting at $64. After the Arceo Wallet campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in October 2017. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.
Gadgeteer Comment Policy - Please read before commenting
This spyslide product and others just like it are already available on amazon TODAY and have been for a while. I like some of the dots (1000 use stickies) and the slide types for various applications. Usually about 7-10$ for three of each.. why wait?
