Play games like it’s 1989 with this Gameboy style case for iPhone

Sure, there are plenty of games apps for iPhone, but do you find yourself pining for the old 8-bit, grayscale days of gaming?  Your classic Gameboy may not work anymore, but the Wanle case for iPhone will give you a fix of old-style gaming, complete with buttons for tactile feedback missing on a touchscreen.

The Wanle plastic case won’t add much weight to your phone, but it will add hours of fun with 10 pre-installed games like Tetris, Formula One Racing, and the ever-popular Snake.  It’s available for the iPhone 6/6+, iPhone 6s/6s+, iPhone 7/7+, iPhone 8/8+, or iPhone X.

Cases are available in black, red, white, or blue if you shop at Wanle, but they are out of stock until 04/09/2018.  You can pre-order from Wanle for $24.95 (normal price is $74.95).  If you don’t want to wait you can find similar cases on Amazon for less than $12 (not for the iPhone X yet though).

Ruggard Lens Cases are built for the job!


If you have been in the photography or videography field for some time, you have undoubtedly amassed quite a collection of lens, and you most likely spent thousands of dollars in doing so. Often, the lens cases that are included with your purchase of your expensive lens are ok, but do not readily inspire a feeling of confidence that they would do a really good job of protecting the lens.

I have always felt the same way, and over time, I have invested in Ruggard Lens Cases for every lens I own. The Ruggard lens cases are available in approximately 9 different sizes, and are well built and padded for great lens protection. The outside of their cases is made of a durable water-resistant shell that ensures the protection of your lens from spills and other liquid mishaps. The zippers are strong and there is material overlapping them to protect any foreign substance from entering what is always a weak point on any case. By simply touching the interior, you can tell that the walls are thick and made of high-density foam to provide superior protection. A removable and adjustable shoulder strap, a belt loop, and an external grab handle complete the safety package.

The next time you are looking for a great quality lens case, you can find the Ruggard Lens Cases at B&H Photo Video or Amazon starting at $14.99 for the smallest case.

Sony’s SRS-XB41 speaker is ready to PARTY with flashing multi-colored lights

Sony SRS-XB41

A Bluetooth speaker with flashing multi-colored lights? This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve come across one, but this time around, the speaker is from Sony, and it’s headed our way in time for Spring.

Sony’s new SRS-XB41 sports multi-colored lights that sync to the beat of the music. Specifically, there are three areas of the speaker that light up – its speakers actually light up, its “line” light lights up in different colors, and it produces a flashing strobe light at its sides. The light show and DJ effects can all be controlled via the Fiestable app on your smartphone.

The speakers themselves feature a new DSP technology that promises a 3D experience with plenty of bass. They can also be wirelessly daisy-chained to one another over Bluetooth, effectively creating an even more immersive audio experience. You can daisy chain up to 100 of these speakers together. That would be SOME party.

Sony’s SRS-XB41 waterproof

The speaker itself is super tough. It’s covered with a tough material that can withstand scratches and tough environments. It’s Ip67 waterproof and dustproof too, and able to withstand being submerged in water up to 3 feet. That means it’s ready for pool parties.

Battery life is impressive too – Sony claims it can last up to 24 hours.

Sony’s SRS-XB41 portable wireless Bluetooth speaker will retail for $249.99 and it will be available soon in a choice of black, red or cyan.

Aalo is reinventing furniture literally one piece at a time

 

Buying new furniture is never fun and it’s usually full of compromises. Affordability usually equals both, reduced quality and boring designs. And custom furniture is out of reach for most of us. Aalo has designed Lego-like furniture that is simple, durable and customizable without the compromises. Interlocking and interchangeable parts allow you to choose from one of Aalo’s designs or make a design of your own. The furniture line consists of 12 pre-arranged kits. Kits include a side table, bookshelf, and coat rack to name a few. 

Furniture that’s re-purposable

Each piece of furniture is designed to be both adaptable and reusable. The interchangeable parts allow you to take an old piece of furniture and turn it into something new. Tired of your bookshelf? Break it down and turn it into a bike rack. Or turn a side table into a couple of plant stands. Each powder-coated aluminum piece is strong, weather-proof and snaps together with just an Allen wrench. For extra savings, you can send any unused parts back to Aalo for free. 

Aalo’s furniture kits are available in either black or white and prices start at $35. You can purchase components such as different length beams and different types of connectors. Prices for those start @ $1.50. For more on pricing and to purchase visit Aalo’s website.
