The ultimate Apple Watch accessories for Mickey Mouse fans

NEWS – Sure, Apple has a really cool animated Mickey Mouse face for the Apple Watch, but these accessories prove that you need to take things a bit further than just a face to show your true Mickey love.  The Navor Soft Silicone Protective Case fits over the Apple Watch to add some Mouse ears to the top of your Watch.  The 38mm version actually comes in a variety of colors and is also available in a Minnie Mouse version, too.  The TPU cover is said to have advanced shock absorption technology, with all four corners air cushioned to protect the Watch.  

It gives you unfettered access to the Watch face and the side buttons.  It fits Series 1/2/3, and it comes in a 38mm version for $7.95 and a 42mm version for $7.85.

Of course, you’ll need a bright red band to complete the look, and the HUANLONG Soft Silicone Sport Style Replacement Band is just the perfect shade.  The band is made of soft silicone with hypoallergenic nickel-free stainless steel.  It’s available to fit the 38mm/40mm Watch or the 42mm/44mm Watch; select either the small/medium length or the medium/large length in either size.  The HUANLONG band is $7.99 at Amazon.

Monk manual, new Trayvax wallet, Polar Seal heated t-shirts, and more – Notable crowdfunding campaigns

NEWS – This week we are bringing you information about six different crowdfunding campaigns that are currently running on Kickstarter and Indiegogo that will be of interest to wallet fans, pet lovers, and more.

The Monk Manual Planner: A Daily System for Being + Doing

What is it?

The Monk Manual is a 90-day planner that is designed to help you focus on the important things and get things done.

Why is it cool?

I like the Monk Manual Planner because it’s a well-made notebook. I know this because they sent me an early production sample. I like that the manual combines several things into one notebook. There’s a planner, habit tracker, reflection area (think gratitude journal), and more. It’s A5-ish sized (8.3in x 5.8in) and it lays flat when it’s open. Yay!

Where can I find more info?

The Monk Manual Planner campaign ends on 11/27/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order a Monk Manual Planner starting at $29. After the Monk Manual Planner campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in December 2018. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts

What is it?

POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts are exactly what you guess they are, they are t-shirts that are heated to…well…keep you warm!

Why is it cool?

I like the POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts because I’m cold natured. It doesn’t matter if it’s 100F degrees outside, I’ll probably be wearing a sweater when I’m indoors because air conditioning can make me chill. These t-shirts from POLAR SEAL come in long and short versions and in sizes for men and women. They heat up the upper back area with the touch of a button and can continue heating for up to 8hrs on a charge of a 10,000 mAh battery pack.

What to consider before pledging

A battery pack is NOT included with the t-shirt. You’re on your own to supply a USB battery pack.

Where can I find more info?

The POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts campaign ends on 11/14/18 and they more than halfway to meeting their funding goal of $40,000. You can pre-order a POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirt starting at $89. After the POLAR SEAL heated T-Shirts campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in January 2019. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.

VAVA Mobile Pet Cam

What is it?

The VAVA Mobile Pet Cam is a like a small camera that you can control remotely.

Why is it cool?

I like the VAVA Mobile Pet Cam because unlike home security cameras, this camera is mobile. Using an app, you can roll it around your home to check in on your pets. It has 2-way audio with bark alerts, a built-in treat dispenser, and a laser pointer for cat chasing fun. It even has drop detection sensors like a Roomba robot vacuum so you won’t accidentally send it falling down stairs.

Where can I find more info?

The VAVA Mobile Pet Cam campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they are within a few $’s of meeting their funding goal of $25,000. You can pre-order a VAVA Mobile Pet Cam starting at $149. After the VAVA Mobile Pet Cam campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in February 2019. Visit their Indiegogo page for all the details.

MAKERphone

What is it?

The MAKERphone is a DIY kit that allows you to build your own working mobile phone.

Why is it cool?

I like the MAKERphone because it’s a kit that includes everything you need to build your own working mobile phone that will help you learn soldering skills and Python programming skills. You’ll even be able to play games and other basic apps.

Where can I find more info?

The MAKERphone campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $15,000. You can pre-order a MAKERphone starting at $94. After the MAKERphone campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in March 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Wallor 2.0 wallet

What is it?

The Wallor 2.0 is a smart wallet with features that include wireless charger, RFID protection, GPS tracking, and more.

Why is it cool?

I like the Wallor 2.0 because it’s been designed with every feature you can think of that might be needed for a wallet. First of all, it holds cash and cards and the cards are protected from RFID scanners. And then it’s protected from theft or loss because you can find it anywhere in the world by it’s built-in global GPS tracker. But one of the coolest features is that the Wallor wallet can become a wireless charger for your wireless charging compatible phone. Just place the phone on top of the wallet and it will charge it.

Where can I find more info?

The Wallor 2.0 campaign ends on 11/22/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $25,000. You can pre-order a Wallor 2.0 starting at $109. After the Wallor 2.0 campaign ends, rewards are estimated to start shipping in May 2019. Visit their Kickstarter page for all the details.

Trayvax OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet

What is it?

It’s been 5 years since the Trayvax Original went live on Kickstarter. For their 5 year anniversary, they upgraded the Original to the OG 2.0. The OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet is a new wallet from Trayvax that can hold up to 15 cards plus cash.

Why is it cool?

I like the OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet because I know that Trayvax makes a rugged minimalist wallet that is made to stand the test of time. This new version includes some nice features like a pry bar and a security clasp that keeps the cards secure.

Where can I find more info?

The OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet campaign ends on 11/4/18 and they have already met their funding goal of $10,000. You can pre-order an OG 2.0 Multifunctional wallet starting at $30.
