Disc-O-Beds are portable bunk beds for kids and adults


There are a few things that I dreamed about having when I was a kid. A tree house, a moped, LEGO, and bunk beds. So far, the only item from that list that I’ve gotten as an adult is the LEGO, but now that I’ve seen the Disc-O-Beds, I just might fulfill my childhood wish for bunk beds!

Disc-O-Beds are portable and modular military grade cots that can be used for camping or even at home for sleepovers. They are available in kid sizes like the Kid-O-Bunk shown above and in an extra large size for adults.

Disc-O-Beds feature waterproof/machine washable 600D polyester fabric and a sturdy steel frame that assembles easily and without any tools. It can transform from a “couch”, to bunk beds, or even into single cots.

The kid version is suitable for children up to 5-feet tall and up to 200 pounds.

When you’re not using the beds, they disassemble and store in a zippered pouch that can be stored in a closet or under a real bed.

Each adult version bunk is suitable for a person up to 6 feet tall and 500 pounds.

You can read more about the Kid-O-Bunk and Disc-O-Bed XL at discobed.com and order from Amazon from $269.99 up to $433.96

Elago is getting nostalgic again this time turning your iPhone into a vintage Macintosh with their new M4 stand


Back in February, I wrote about Elago’s quirky new W3 stand for the Apple Watch which turned your watch into a small replica of the original Macintosh monitor. Well, Elago is going back to the future again with their new M4 stand but this time the stand turns your iPhone into a vintage Macintosh desktop.

The M4 is made of the same scratch – free silicone to prevent damage to your iPhone. There is a space for your lightning cable so you can slide your iPhone into the stand to charge it. While your iPhone is charging you can use it to watch a movie or you can pair it with a Bluetooth keyboard and surf the web or do a little note taking.  The stand also allows for easy access to the iPhones volume up and down buttons. I like that the M4 is a little more functional than its predecessor and the larger screen makes it look more like a real Macintosh.


The M4 iPhone stand is available in both classic white and black models and sells for $29.49. The stand is compatible with iPhone 7, 6s and 6 models only. So if you want to take another trip back to 1984, this time for your iPhone then head over to Elago’s website and say ‘hello’ to the M4 Macintosh stand for iPhone.

Pelican introduces the Protector Phone Case for LG G6


I know everyone seems to be batting their eyelashes and drooling over the Samsung S8 and S8+ right now, but there’s another very nice phone that shouldn’t be overlooked – the LG G6. If you opted for G6 instead of a Samsung and you’ve been looking for a rugged case to keep it protected, the new Protector Phone Case from Pelican should cover it – literally. Designed to military specifications to survive drops, bumps, and bruises.

The Protector case features a soft-touch over molded dual-layer design that is made from the same indestructible, proprietary materials that Pelican has been using in their products for over forty years. The LG G6 case which is warranted for life provides impact absorbing protection while remaining as slim as possible. You can buy one for $39.99 at pelicanphonecases.com and at Amazon for a bit less.
