With the jimmyCASE Slim Classic iPhone X case you don’t have to ask ” What’s in your wallet?”

In my time with the Gadgeteer, I’ve written about a lot of iPhone X cases. I’ve even reviewed a couple that I really liked. The jimmyCASE Slim Classic is another fun case I recently came across.

The case has a silicone protective bumper with a genuine mahogany wood core, giving the case a distinctively rich look.  But what makes this case a stand out is the elastic pocket on the back.

The high-performance elastic gives the case a push to slide wallet function.

It’s capable of holding up to 6 credit cards and cash. It’s even strong enough to hold a car key fob. And it will never lose its stretch.

The Slim Classic is available in 18 different options with various colors, stripes, and patterns. There’s even a really cool looking Black Maple option, which costs slightly more.

You can purchase the case on the companies website for $45.

The sweet looking Black Maple case will set you back $60.

If you have a different iPhone, you can purchase a jimmyCASE case for iPhone 7 Plus/8 Plus, iPhone 7/8 and other models starting from $39.

The Nomad 2-in-1 battery cable will keep your phone up and running!


For those of us who walk around with our cell phones everyday and everywhere we go, if you are like me, you are always looking for the most convenient way to keep it charged, and still carry as least extra “stuff” as possible. Companies vying for our business have designed and produced many variations of such products to meet our demands.

One such company is Nomad. They have just recently released a new and improved version of their 2-in-1 battery cable. The cable is made of 20 AWG (American Wire Gauge) which they state will aid with fast charging, and it has 2X RF Shield for fast sync. It is nylon wrapped, with a MFI Certified Lightning Cable with a built-in high capacity 2800mAh portable battery, which will allow you to charge with just the cable while on the go, and it should withstand the usual daily abuse and more. The outermost shielding of the cable includes a 2X thick moisture barrier and braided ballistic nylon. They have also built in a liquid silicone rubber cable tie so that the cable can always be wrapped for storage in an organized way.

If you would like to purchase the Nomad 2-in-1 lightning battery cable, it is available in a 1.5-meter length on the Nomad website for $49.95.

Forget taking 12+ hours to cold brew coffee with Cuisinart

Most of the cold brewers for coffee that I’ve seen lately take 12-24 hours to brew a pot.  With the Cuisinart DCB-10 cold coffee brewer, you can brew a pot in as little as 25 minutes.  Like other cold brewers where the coffee sits in the water and slowly extracts, the Cuisinart machine starts with cold or room temperature water.  But Cuisinart’s “unique spin technology circulates coffee through water for total flavor extraction in a fraction of the time manual brewers require.”

The coffee grounds are never exposed to the high temperatures that extract the oils that cause bitterness, so your brew is smoother.  There are three flavor strength settings, so you can brew the coffee the way you like it.  The three brewing cycles are mild (25 min), medium (35 min) and bold (45 min).   The coffee can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

The DCB-10 comes with a 7-cup carafe and a steel filter.  All removable parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.  The Cuisinart DCB-10 is available for $81.84 at Amazon.  Other retailers offer it for $99.99; check the Cuisinart site to locate a brick-and-mortar store.

James Brand announces their Titanium Collection of EDC knives

James Brand has recently announced a new Titanium Collection featuring three of their classic EDC designs: the Elko, the Chapter, and the County. All three of the new knives have their high quality stainless steel blade and build quality. But J.B. has replaced their usual aluminum or wooden handles with lightweight, strong, and corrosion resistant titanium, making for a lighter and tougher travel companion. I reviewed the aluminum version of the Chapter years ago and still carry it with me in my EDC bag…definitely one of my favorite pocket knives.

Organized travel with the Everyday Dopp kit

Traveling is always better when you have all your gear with you and have it organized so you can always find what you need.  It doesn’t matter if you’re commuting to work with your EDC kit or if you’re traveling with your grooming kit, things are easier when you are organized.  The folks at Supply have a beautiful leather Everyday Dopp bag that can organize what you need to carry.

The Dopp bag has pockets for pens, razors, toothbrush, or the like.  The larger tray area holds bigger things, like bottles of toiletries, or headphones.  The removable zipper pouch holds cables, chargers, or even some glasses.  If you need more room in the tray area, you can remove the zipper pouch and carry it separately.

Supply says the kit is made from “nothing but 100% premium, extra-thick full grain leather from a premier tanner in Leon, Mexico. We never use bonded, genuine, or any other lesser quality leather.”  The leather is “tanned all the way through the hide“, which means the “leather lasts longer and looks better as it ages“.  Both the Dopp and the removable magnetic pouch use custom, quality YKK zippers.  The  flat clam shell profile makes the kit easy to throw in your everyday gear bag or into your suitcase.

The Everyday Dopp is available in midnight black, bourbon, or dark brown.  Supply is accepting pre-orders now for $189.00 (normal price is $219.00).  All orders containing the Everyday Dopp will ship in 6-8 weeks.  Learn more and place a pre-order at Supply.
