Never lose your Apple AirPods with the PodStraps neck strap


When Apple released the AirPods and I saw them for the first time, I did a double-take because at first, I thought that they were just weirdly shaped earrings.  Now I see them everywhere.  And at a price of $159, I imagine that losing them would be top of mind for most AirPods owners.  So what better solution than to put the wires back on, right??  And that’s exactly what Budstraps did.

For the low price of $14.95, and with a choice of charcoal gray or yellow, you can have peace of mind that if the AirPods pop out of your ear you won’t be chasing them down the pavement.  The PodStraps are 19 inches long and include a cinch to adjust for your fit.  One size fits all.  The material is soft-touch and Budstraps included a pouch for easy carrying, thank you very much!

With your choice of charcoal gray or yellow, you can purchase the PodStraps at budstraps.com and Amazon.

If you ever wondered what’s inside a LEGO minifig, I have the answer!


No LEGO collection can be considered complete without a Brick Man anatomy model from 4D Master. If you don’t think that this is a must have gift for your favorite geek, then well, you’re on the wrong gadget website my friend 🙂

This Funny anatomy model has been designed by Jason Freeny and features a see-through “skin” that lets you see the iconic LEGO minifig’s skeleton and organs.

The 5.1 inch tall plastic model has 16 pieces and from what I can tell from other images that I’ve seen, the arms move. I’m not sure about the legs though.

There are other versions of the minifig anatomy model available from 4D Master, but I like the one shown here the best. You can see all of 4D master’s anatomy models at famemaster.com and you can order one for $22.99 from Amazon.

SCOTTeVEST announces redesigned hoodie now with 19 pockets


SCOTTeVEST has completely redesigned their men’s Hoodie Cotton jacket to have more (and better) pockets and more features. The previous version of their hoodie jacket had 10 pockets and this new version has 19 pockets. Now you can carry your EDC without needing to carry an extra bag or load down your pants pockets for an unsightly lumpy look.

The new hoodie features two pockets that are large enough to hold tablets like a full-sized iPad or smaller tablets like an iPad mini. SCOTTeVEST has also updated to sturdier zippers and added a “Do Not Disturb” eye mask.

“There are hundreds of hoodies on the market, but they all have the same problem: a lack of pockets,” said CEO and co-founder Scott Jordan. “We took everything we’ve learned about hoodies, studied the marketplace and integrated the best features to create the ultimate functional and stylish hoodie. With the SCOTTeVEST Hoodie Cotton, you will have the same comfort and design you love, but won’t be limited on what you can carry around.”

The redesigned SCOTTeVEST Hoodie Cotton will be available in Ash, Black, Cobalt, and Maroon, and will retail for $95 via scottevest.com and soon at Amazon.

Juuk wants your Apple Watch to take flight with their aircraft-grade aluminum Ligero watch band


 

Ever since I purchased my Apple Watch I’ve become obsessed with watch bands for it.  Now, I don’t own that many YET, but I love to peruse all of the new and unique designs that come out. Juuk has designed a band that’s made of aircraft- grade aluminum. A watch band made out of the same material that’s used to make planes! That caught my attention. 

Juuk Design’s owner Eugene Ho thought that changing watch bands on the Apple Watch should be like changing songs on a jukebox, based on mood or preference. Hence the inspiration for the companies name Juuk (pronounced “juke”) as in jukebox.

Ligero is the third and most recent of Juuk’s Apple Watch band collection. It’s an aircraft-grade 6061 series aluminum link band that comes in eight different vibrant finishes. Each a perfect compliment to the aluminum Apple Watch Series 1 and 2.

The robust 6061 series hard anodized aluminum is not only used in aircraft, its also used in the automotive, boating and diving industries, yet it’s so lightweight that it weighs like plastic. And because Juuk uses aluminum instead of steel it allows them to more closely match the aluminum Apple Watches colors.

Juuk designed the bands so that they’re easily customizable.  They customized their own concave capsa pins and adjustment tool, which comes with every band. This makes it easy to make size adjustments right out of the box. Juuk also includes a microfiber cloth for cleaning the band and Apple Watch.

With its horizontal single-link design and beveled edges, this band has real character. Perfect for going to the gym, office, or out to dinner.

The Ligero is offered in Cosmic Grey, Silver, Ruby, Obsidian, Cobalt, Cadmium, Tyrian and Viridian. All bands are available in both 38mm which sells for $119 and 42mm which sells for $129. Juuk is also doing a real cool thing, for a limited time they’re selling a Rainbow colored Ligero band. What makes it cool is that $20 from each band sold will go to Amnesty International Hong Kong to support their efforts to combat discrimination. So not only is it an awesome looking band it also supports a good cause. The Ligero Rainbow is only available thru juukdesign.com and is priced at $159 – $169

For more information or to check out the Ligero and other Apple Watch Bands Juuk has to offer, visit them at juukdesign.com  . Bands can be purchased on their site and on Amazon.

Is it a car, is it a plane? It’s both!


Imagine this… you’re racing your RC car along the ground when an unexpected obstacle suddenly blocks your path. Instead of crashing, the car zooms into the air where you continue controlling it in flight. If that sounds like more fun than Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, then you have to check out this RC flying car from Hammacher Schlemmer.

With a scaled ground speed of 67 mph, this race car shaped drone can be maneuvered like other RC cars from up to 130 feet away using the included 2.4 GHz radio remote control.

Take sharp fast and furious left and right turns while driving on the ground and then in the air enjoy 360° movement that includes spins, loops, and rolls.

The flying car’s built-in rechargeable battery provides up to five-minute flight times from a full charge using the included USB charger.

The RC Flying Car can be purchased for $59.95 at Hammacher Schlemmer. You can also find a wide selection of similar flying cars on Amazon too.
