Scooch pairs protection with usability

NEWS – If you’re a fan of protective phone cases like Otterbox and also like the functionality of the PopSocket, why not replace both of those items with the Scooch Wingman case. The Wingman features EXO-D Impact technology meets military drop standards to protect your phone from 6-foot drops.

The built-in stand snaps up to enable a one-handed grip. Or use it as a kickstand to prop the phone at the perfect angle for watching video or Facetiming friends. You can even use the Scooch kickstand as a mount and hook it in your car’s air vent or CD player slot.

Scooch Wingman cases are available for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy phones, and LG phones for $29.99 and up. If you don’t have any of those phones, you can buy a universal Wingback attachment for $14.99 that will work with any phone. Just stick it and use it. Visit scoochcase.com and Amazon for more info and to order one.

Get it all together, organized, and take it with you with the YETI Loadout GoBox 30

NEWS – It is no go getting to your destination and find that your gear, paperwork, life savings, etc. has been damaged or lost due to a poorly-constructed or built storage box.

To date, your best option for a rugged, waterproof case for your gear has been Pelican cases, but there is a new contender entering the arena.

YETI has answered the requests from their fans has created a line of non-insulated, rugged organizers to their already impressive lineup.  The GoBox is the latest in this new Loadout line. The Yeti Loadout GoBox 30 takes the rugged exterior and gasket technology that has made their hard-side coolers so popular and adds organizers to make a go-box for your extraordinary and everyday adventures.

Measuring a generous 20.5″ long by 14.625″ wide by 11.125″ deep (exterior) and weighing in at 11.8 pound (empty), the GoBox includes a removable central divider, an organizer tray, and a lid organizer to help keep you organized. However, the GoBox forgoes insulation for storage space, so you will still need a place to keep your libations cool.

The four large rubber feet on the bottom of the GoBox nest inside the recessed area on the lid to allow you to safely stack multiple boxes together, if you are, like me, unable to travel lightly.

The GoBox 30 is available in 3 colors:

  • tan
  • white
  • black

The Loadout GoBox 30 has a MSRP of $249.99. You can find the Loadout GoBox 30 at most full-line YETI  dealers like REI or directly from YETI.

Let Alexa sell your unused Amazon purchases

NEWS – Do you ever buy something from Amazon and use it once or twice and stuff it in a drawer never to be used again? I think we all do that sometimes. That “sometimes” can add up and by add up, I mean in both money and unused stuff cluttering your home.

If you have a bunch of stuff that you purchased from Amazon that is no longer sparking joy, it’s time to get rid of it. But instead of taking it to Goodwill, having a garage sale, or eBaying it, there’s another option is coming soon. It’s called Amazon After and it’s an app that interfaces with Amazon and your purchase history to remind you if you haven’t used a product in a while so that you can sell it, donate it, rent it, lend it, and more. Check out the video to see how it works.

Amazon After is from Scott Amron, the same person that brought us the Keybrid Keyring Key. The app isn’t available just yet, but you can get more info and sign up to be a beta tester on his site.

Decathlon expands to USA with practical, prolific sportsgear options

NEWS – When we lived in the Netherlands, we had a go-to, big-box store for anything sports or camping related: Decathlon.

For my boys’ weekly swimming lessons, Decathlon’s mini-backpacks and microfiber towels were the perfect combination of light, efficient and effective, which was crucial since my family car was a Dutch grandma bike (omafiets). Decathlon’s thermoses joined every one of our train trips, and we brought them home over Christmas as gifts for the hunters in our family. And I especially love the superstore’s packable backpacks, which served as our day-bags while we adventured around Italy and Iceland, Morocco and Malta, and eventually Alaska and Aruba.

Bikes, scooters, sleeping bags. Check!

Zip-off, quick-dry pants for the whole family? You bet!

When a friend told me late last year that Decathlon had ventured into the States, I cheered out loud. Until I heard that their sole stateside edifice resides in the Bay Area… I live in Indiana.

However, once I did a little peaking on their Web site, I learned they have free shipping in the USA on purchases over $50 and free returns. Just beware that if you live on the opposite side of the country, it takes a bit of time to receive your order, so plan well ahead of holidays and birthdays if that special someone is eying new snorkel gear, dancewear or a camping hammock.

In fact, Decathlon’s  Web site boasts more than 10,000 items for 70 sports!

This isn’t just about tennis, basketball, and volleyball. They have gear for rock climbing, paddleboarding, and horseriding. Even pétanque, so you can practice your high school French over a lawn-ball game. (And that’s only seven of the 70 sports they reportedly outfit.)

The prices are reasonable, the gear is high quality, and it’s fun to discover products you didn’t know existed but just might need someday.
