I love my 12″ MacBook that I bought as a refurb from Amazon a couple years ago. It’s the perfect size and the perfect weight for everyday use and especially for travel.

Looking not unlike an astronaut sleeping bag for your phone, Phoozy (cute name) claims to also have space-age powers. Namely, that “It provides military grade protection from the sun, heat, cold, and shock while also providing float protection.” It is literally made from materials that are used to protect astronauts from the extreme environments of

To be honest, I don’t like to put a case on my smartphones. I find it weird to cover a sleek new phone with a bulky case. I rarely drop my phones (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself), so I would rather use my phone naked (the phone, not me). But there are times
