It’s a pen, it’s a pencil, it’s a stylus. No, it’s the Stylex 3-in-1 writing tool

I am forever on the search for a perfect multi-pen stylus combination, and the Stylex 3-in-1 Writing Tool, a current Kickstarter project by Dexterous, may be the one of my dreams. The Stylex 3-in-1 writing tool combines a stylus, a ball point pen, and a 0.5mm mechanical pencil into a single pen, allowing the user to

Serbags Army Courier Vintage Bike Messenger Bag review

Serbag 1

From the days of high school, through community college, til the end of college and when  I got my first real job after graduating college, I was an avid fan of the backpack. Not too much these days though… At my current job,  a backpack just doesn’t feel professional enough for me.  Who am I kidding?

Normally when I find a new product from Archos, it’s an Android tablet.  This time, they have a Bluetooth keyboard for us.  The Ultrathin Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad works with the iPad 2 and the 3rd- and 4th-gen iPads.  At 9.48″ x 7.32″ x 0.2″, it’s not much thicker than a Smart Cover; it weighs

griffin papernomad

Finding the perfect case that protects your iPhone, iPad, or MacBook Air and perfectly captures your personality is a daunting task.  Then, it’s likely your perfect case won’t fit the next generation when you upgrade, and you have a perfectly good, often expensive, case going “to waste.”  That’s not going to be the case with

Octa TabletTail Vacuum Dock and WhaleTail Kit for tablets and eReaders review

octa vacuum dock and whale tail 1

When I first saw the Octa stand last year, I thought it was cute and whimsical.  Many gadget accessories are very serious and seem to be designed to fit into the most sedate business environment.  When designers do decide to mix it up, it’s often just to offer a brighter color in the same overall

Lovetrack – it’s not what you think…

I love riding bikes. I rode bikes as a kid, like everyone else, but I started again as an adult when I hit my mid-50s and health problems started rising. I quickly became addicted. Due to global climate change and the push-back against car-dominated design, there’s a new interest in bicycling all over the country

Draco 5 Aluminum Bumper Case for the iPhone 5 review

dracodesign draco5

This past December, I reviewed Element Case’s newly (at the time) released iPhone 5 aluminum bumper case, the Sector 5. While I found the Sector 5 Transformer-like and very tech-stylish, it was overall a bit extreme with too many rough edges for my taste. So, when Julie asked if I would like to review the

We live in a world now where the advancements in tablet devices allows them to replace the home PC.

neoscop tube.ONE – Wave machine for the 21st century

neoscop

Reminiscent of the 1970’s and 80’s wave machines and lava lamps, German manufacturer BusinessCom AG brings us the neoscop tube.ONE wave generator. It’s like having part of the ocean in your home. A brushless and virtually noiseless precision motor provides the propulsion for the wave oscillator and LEDs illuminate the tank to offer a relaxing watery art show. The skeleton

Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 removable keyboard, case, and stand for iPad 2, 3rd-gen, and 4th-gen iPad review

kensington keyfolio keyboard case ipad 1

I’ve reviewed a lot of Bluetooth keyboard cases for iPads, and most of them have the keyboard permanently attached inside the case.  You’re stuck with carrying the extra weight of the keyboard, even when you know you won’t be using it, and you’re also stuck with always using the keyboard and the iPad within inches

Julie recently told us about the Booqpad iPad mini case that also holds a notebook and pen.  Well, Levenger has a phone wallet that also incorporates paper and pen into the design.  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

Thin is in with the Flatlight flashlight

Bucking traditions in the flashlight form factor, Flatlight, a Kickstarter project by Tater Tot Designs, brings in the thin. The Flatlight is 3.57″ X 1.99″ X 0.11″, giving it a credit card-like profile. An array of LED transmits light to a fiber optic backlight that evenly distributes the light through the lens.
