Although it has “briefcase” in the name, the International Phone Pocket Briefcase is a folio-style wallet. There’s a mesh pouch to hold an […]
Last year, I reviewed the PlugBug from Twelve South. It is a 10W USB charger that can be used alone or as a replacement for the power prongs on a MacBook power brick. When I purchased mine last year, the PlugBug was only available with US-style power prongs. The new PlugBug World still offers a

The iXY has “24-bit/96k

I have an 11″ MacBook Air laptop, and I love that it’s tiny enough to carry it most anywhere I go. What I don’t love is the possibility of scratching my shiny aluminum laptop, so I need a sleeve to protect my MBA while it’s being carried in another bag. I’ve found, once I read

I’m not sure I see the benefits in this case, but apparently a lot of people at Kickstarter did when they funded this project at more than 200% of the goal. The Radius case for iPhone 5 from mod-3 takes minimalism to a new level. It covers only the corners of the phone, with a
