Satechi’s new R1 Aluminum foldable stand takes your smartphone, tablet, and laptop to new heights

I like accessories that have more than one use or can be used with more than one device. The new Satechi R1 Aluminum foldable stand is just such an accessory. Compatible with smartphones, tablets, and even laptops. This universal stand can position devices in multiple ways to provide the best viewing experience for watching videos, playing gaming, video chatting, using a device with a Bluetooth keyboard, and more.

The Satechi R1 device stand has a sleek design and a solid aluminum construction with a 270-degree mount hinge and an 180-degree base hinge. The case-friendly stand features rubber support grips that can hold mobile devices and laptops without fear of scratching or slipping.

When you’re done using the stand or want to take it with you, it easily folds up for storage or travel.

The Satechi R1 Aluminum Foldable Stand is available now in space gray, silver, gold or rose gold. You can purchase it for $39.99 at Satechi.net and for even less at Amazon.

The Sac Daddy: A new, larger Nutsac for your laptop

The company name does induce (intentional) giggles, but NutSac Bags has been designing some pretty solid man bags & satchels for a while now. While previous designs emphasized minimalist carry (up to an iPad Pro), the latest design is designed for daily business carry with more room and more features for hauling your office on your shoulder. 

Dubbed the “Sac Daddy,” this new bag measures in at 15″ by 10.5″ by 3″ and will handle up to a 15″ laptop. While it follows the same minimalist form factor as their previous products, the Sac Daddy also includes an open back magazine pocket, additional padding for laptop protection, and a leather strap pad for comfort. The primary materials are waxed canvas and full-grain leather. It’s also available in tan (shown in the picture above) and black.

I’m a fan of the NutSac company. They source all of their materials & build their products in the US, and implement a “full transparency” pricing model: click on the product and you can see (down to the penny) how the price was determined. I have yet to handle one personally, but all the reviews on previous products I have seen have been excellent. The Sac Daddy retails for $214.00. Visit their website for more information!

The Waylens Secure360 is the next evolution of dash cams

Do you have a dash cam in your vehicle? A dash cam is the type of gadget that once you install it, you rarely need to use it and that’s not a bad thing because the main reason you might need to use a dash cam is in the event of an accident. Until now, 99.9% of dash cams are designed to point out the windshield and automatically record footage as you drive. The Waylens Secure360 camera is a dash cam on steroids.

Our own Andy Chen reviewed the Waylens Horizon dash cam back in December, but this new camera looks like a huge leap forward in this category of gadgets and I can’t wait to try one.

Waylens, Inc. announced today its Secure360 Automotive Security Cameras that give drivers a truly seamless 360-degree view both in and around the vehicle, automatically uploading video to the cloud for on-demand access. Available with powerful 4G connection to the Waylens Secure app with live alerts and live monitoring, the Waylens Secure360 puts in the palms of drivers’ hands the power to know, show and protect what’s important.

The Waylens Secure360 is the first camera designed for consumer vehicles that uses 360-degree imaging technology that captures everything that’s going on in and around your car. There will be a WiFi and a 4G version of the camera. The WiFi version of the Secure360 will be available in November 2017 for $249.95. The Waylens Secure360 4G with live alerts and live-streaming begins shipping during the first quarter 2018 for $349.95. Preordering for both models begins later this summer.

AOC’s new monitors hide the cables in the base

I haven’t had monitor lust in… well I can’t really remember ever having monitor lust until right now. Take a look at the image above. It’s the new AOC PDS241 and PDS271 monitors and they are stunning. They feature a crazy thin (5.2 mm) and an almost frameless display that looks great, but what really has my gadget lust in overdrive is the way these IPS monitors have been designed to hide the power and HDMI cables.

Instead of the typical design that most monitors use that puts the connections on the back of the monitor so that the cables dangle behind for a very untidy look. Design house Studio F. A. Porsche has designed the AOC PDS241 and PDS271’s cables to be routed through the stand and into a small module.

The HDMI cable (they include one with the monitor) and power cables connect to the small communication box at the base of the monitor so they can then be passed through a desk grommet or off the back edge of the desk for a much nicer and more minimalist look.

You can read more about the AOC PDS241 and PDS271 by visiting AOC.com and you can buy the 24″ monitor for $199.99 and the 27″ monitor for $249.99 through Amazon.
