Time’s flying! Hurry and catch this golden snitch!

NEWS – There’s not a lot of information about the Golden Snitch Clock from Pottery Barn Teen, but you can be sure it would be a hit with any devoted Harry Potter fan.  The clock is made of zinc alloy with aluminum hands and a steel backing.  It has a high gloss gold finish, just as you would expect from a golden snitch.

The clock face is 1.5″, with a 0.75″ minute hand and a 0.5″ hour hand.  With wings included, the clock has an overall 7″ diameter.  It runs on one 1.5V button cell battery; two are included.  It requires minor assembly and includes a mini screwdriver used to attach the wings.

The Harry Potter Golden Snitch Clock is $49 at PBteen.

Orbit is an iPhone cord organizer with a surprise

NEWS – Are you one of those mobile warriors that shove your cables and adapters into your gear bag with willy nilly abandon only to cuss later on when you find the cables tangled or can’t find the AC adapter that you need to charge your iPhone? The folks at the Hip Product Factory have come up with a solution for that problem with their Orbit cord organizer.

The Orbit accepts the iconic iPhone AC adapter, which slides into the center of the Orbit, while the lightning cable orbits (see what they did there?) around it in a handy storage slot. But wait, there’s more…

By itself, the Orbit is a nice solution for keeping your iPhone lightning cable and AC adapter neat and tidy for transport, but it hides another feature which is handy too. Remove the AC adapter, rotate it so the prongs are facing out, plug it into a wall outlet and place your iPhone in the top of the Orbit which is now a holder while the phone chargers.

The Orbit iPhone cord organizer is available in several colors for $15. You can read more about it at Hip Product Factory and buy one from Uncommon Goods.

WaterField introduces the Vero Leather Sleeve for MacBook Pro and Surface

NEWS – WaterField makes beautiful, protective cases for your gear, and they never rest on their laurels.  They are constantly introducing new bags, sleeves, and pouches so you can find what works best for you.  They have just announced a couple of new Vero Leather Sleeves – one for the MacBook Pro models with Touch Bar and one for the Surface Pro 6 with Type Cover and Surface Laptop 2.

Regardless of which Vero you choose, the sleeves are made of a single hide of premium full-grain leather that will only look better with age.  Both models are compact, thin, and lightweight; they are designed for a snug fit to better protect your device.  A plush interior lining cushions your device, and a leather grip at the bottom of the sleeve makes it easier to remove your device.  Both are TSA-friendly.

Other than the size, there are a couple of differences between the Vero models.  The MacBook Pro version has a cutout at the top so you can charge the laptop while it’s in the sleeve.  The Surface versions have a slot on the back to hold the Surface Pen.

Vero Sleeves are available in chocolate or grizzly leather.  The Vero Leather Sleeve for MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is $119 for the 13″ size or $129 for the 15″ version.  If you order now, you can expect the MacBook Pro Vero to ship October 19th.  The Vero Leather Sleeve for Surface is $119 for both the Surface Pro 9 with Type Cover and the Surface Laptop 2.  The Surface sleeves will ship by November 2nd.  Learn more at WaterField.

The Glider from Inboard brings sophistication to electric kick scooters

NEWS – Chances are good you’ve seen a few kick scooters around your town by now. I ride a kick pretty regularly and the reality is that they’re a great ‘last mile’ solution for getting from mass transit, or your parking lot to the office. Not all of them are equal, however, and Inboard’s new Glider is looking to set a new benchmark.

Features like oversized tires, a low center of gravity and both mechanical and regenerative brakes show that Inboard is looking to make an improvement on the quality of the ride.

A 750w rear wheel motor is going to make sure you have power available when there are hills involved, while the rear suspension will help with any roads that aren’t freshly paved, which is likely to be most of them.

The Glider uses a swappable battery making range anxiety a thing of the past if you’re willing to carry an extra one in your backpack. It will also make charging more convenient as the packs can be charged outside the kick. Inboard is not new to batteries either, having pioneered swappable batteries in their M1 skateboard which was launched in 2015 via Kickstarter.

Both headlights and taillights are built into the deck to make sure you’re as visible as possible and can see where you’re going in those pesky commuting hours. All that’s left is for you to grab a good helmet.

The Glider doesn’t have an announced price yet but should be available soon. You can join their mailing list using the Reserve Now button at Inboard where there are more details and images to dig into.

The CrushGrind Wooden Mill with Ceramic Grinder adds Danish style and durability to your table-top

top

NEWS – If you do any cooking at all, you probably have a pepper mill or salt grinder in your kitchen. And the grinding mechanism inside is probably made out of steel. The CrushGrind Wooden Mill uses a ceramic grinder which is longer lasting and more durable than typical steel.

The benefits of a ceramic grinder are two-fold. One, it won’t dull with use, and two, it won’t corrode with exposure to salt.

The CrushGrind Mills ceramic mechanism also comes with a 25-year warranty.

Both mills are made with American wood and have adjustable coarseness to suit your taste. Plus, they’re easy to fill, just pull off the top of the mill to fill with the desired seasoning.

The Mills are available in two finishes, oak and walnut, and your choice of either a Pepper Mill or a Salt Grinder.

The CrushGrind Wooden Mill with Ceramic Grinders sell for $39.95 each and are available on The Grommet.
