Happy Wednesday! Here’s a new batch of five Kickstarter crowdfunding campaigns that I think are interesting and/or worthy of your pledges. Click through to see this week’s notable crowdfunding campaigns.
Sandman Doppler: The World’s Best Alarm Clock
What is it?
Sandman Doppler is an alarm clock that’s Alexa enabled, has 6 USB charging ports, can play music, and more.
Why do I like it?
The Sandman Doppler a smart alarm clock which by itself doesn’t sound that exciting, but I like that it has a bunch of USB ports on the back so you can keep your everyday gadgets charged. But the best thing are the programmable physical buttons on top of the clock that you can use to interact with your other gear. You can program a button to turn off all your Philips HUE lights, turn your Nest thermostat up or down, and more.

Tülry: The World’s First Glamour Utility Necklace
What is it?
Tülry is a wearable EDC tool kit designed for women that has 16 built-in tools.
Why do I like it?
I can’t imagine actually wearing a Tülry necklace because I never wear necklaces, but I couldn’t help but be intrigued by the design. The necklace can expand to add more tools like different types of screwdrivers, a bottle opener, and hex keys. It’s both goofy, useful, and geeky.

SHIFT: The Ultimate Pack for Photography, Travel and Tech
What is it?
The SHIFT Pack is a modular backpack that’s perfect for photographers but one that can be used by anyone that likes to keep their gear organized and easily transportable.
Why do I like it?
I’ve been a messenger bag carrier for years, but have just recently started thinking about switching to a backpack and I’ve been keeping an eye out for interesting bags that have more features than the standard run of the mill backpack. The SHIFT Pack can sit flat without falling over, has a ton of storage pockets, can easily attach to rolling luggage, and it has a zippered padded compartment in the bottom that can be used to hold a camera, shoes, or other larger items that you want to keep separate from the rest of gear.

Rollbe – Super Compact Measuring Tool
What is it?
Rollbe is a 4 or 8 inch (10 or 20 cm) stainless steel ruler that you can carry in your pocket.
Why do I like it?
I like the Rollbe measuring tool because it can be used to measure straight lines and curves. It’s cool little pocket ruler that you can take with you when you’re shopping for quick measurements.

Vizy – World’s Safest Car Mount. Period.
What is it?
Vizy is a smartphone holder for your car that attaches to the window visor.
Why do I like it?
I like the Vizy holder because it doesn’t use a suction cup, adhesives, vent slats, etc. It looks easy to install and relocate as needed. I also like that your phone will be more in line with your eyes than if it was down in the console area.
Where can I find more info?
