LABB: the Loopless and Buckleless Band for Apple Watch

NEWS – Although there are a wide variety of bands available for Apple Watch, the LABB from Noomoon seems to be truly unique.  This band closes without using a buckle or a loop with a magnetic or Velcro closure.  LABB is made from fluoroelastomer, similar to the Apple Sport bands.  Noomoon says the material is supple, soft to the touch, odorless, waterproof, and skin-friendly.

The LABB’s closure seems to be a series of tags and openings in the fluoroelastomer material that interlocks to hold the band closed.  The openings help keep your wrist dry and comfortable, too.

LABB is available for both the 38mm and 42mm Watch, with stainless lugs in silver or black.  The band itself is available in black, white, red, blue, or green.  The 38mm band fits wrists 140-200mm; the 42mm band fits wrists 155-220mm.

The LABB band for Apple Watch from Noomoon is $53.00.

Bedphones for bedheads

There are times when I am in bed and I’d like to lie on my side to listen to music or a podcast, etc. However, my earbuds stick out of my ears and make this uncomfortable. DubsLabs Bedphones are small on-ear headphones designed to allow you to listen to your music while lying on your side.

These headphones have “memory-wire” ear hooks to allow you to bend them around your ears to obtain the correct fit. They also have 23 mm full-range drivers and will last up to 13 hours on one charge.

The Bedphones also come in wired or wireless (Bluetooth) versions. Additionally, there are a couple of Bluetooth versions. One is a sports version, called Versafit, which has a silicone sweatproof covering over the headphones and the other is a sleeping version, called Bedphones, which has a foam padding covering them. The DubsLabs Bluetooth Bedphones are available from DubsLabs for $99.95 while the wired pair is available for $59.95.

Winter is coming. Arm yourself!

They do say that the pen is mightier than the sword, so these beautiful Montegrappa pens inspired by HBO’s Game of Thrones should prepare you to face the White Walkers.  The pens are available in ballpoint, rollerball, or fountain pen.  They are the second edition of Montegrappa pens inspired by the show, and these represent the primary noble houses of Westeros, plus a fifth pen for Westeros itself.

The pens have resin bodies and are accented with precious metals.  The pocket clip takes the form of the animal associated with the family; for example, the Stark pen has a direwolf clip.  The ballpoints deploy with a twist, while the fountain and rollerball pens have a twist cap.

I found these pens at Levenger.  They offer the ballpoints for $295 each or a set of four for $944.  The rollerballs are $325 each or a set of four for $1040.  The fountain pens are $350 each or a set of four for $1120.  Pens can also be purchased directly from Montegrappa.

The Kokoon takes rest and relaxation to a whole new level.


As far back as I can remember I have struggled with insomnia and restless sleep. As time has gone by and my life has become more filled with work, and family responsibilities, rest and relaxation and effective sleep have become an elusive goal. It seems that my insomnia has become par for the course. Because of these challenges, I am always interested in any product that attempts to help in a safe way.

I just came across a device called Kokoon that claims to be the world’s first sleep sensing headphones and the Ultimate Sleep Sanctuary. According to the manufacturer, “Kokoon uses movement and EEG data to understand and analyze your individual sleep pattern”. (“Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain”)

It uses active noise cancellation for complete quietness, along with an audio seal that works to stop external noise from penetrating the enclosure and reaching your ears. In addition, it effectively introduces white noise as you sleep, to ensure a better quality of rest.

If you would like to try out the Kokoon, you can head over to the Kokoon website and pre-order one for $299.99.
