Switch to Verizon and get a new Android phone for only $15 extra a month (with trade-in)

If you’ve been thinking about making a switch to Verizon’s network but keep dragging your feet, their latest deal might be enough to make you pull the trigger. Especially if you want a brand new phone too. For a limited time, customers can switch to Verizon and get the latest Android phones like the Google Pixel and Pixel XL, Moto Z Droid and Z Droid Force, Samsung S7 and S7 edge, the LG V20, or the HTC 10 for as low as $15 per month with a device payment plan and a trade-in of an eligible phone.

Add new color choices to your NutSac with the Black Collection

Yes, the name induces giggles. But behind their (intentionally) humorous brand name, NutSac produces a solid collection of well-designed, high-quality satchels to relieve your pockets of all of their assorted junk… that doesn’t look like a purse. This week, NutSac announced the addition of a black color scheme to their existing lineup. 

I’ve been impressed with what I have seen from NutSac so far. Every bag in the lineup is made in the USA with high-quality, American-made materials (10 oz. waxed canvas, top-grain leather, and rugged hardware). Reviews are consistently excellent, praising the quality of design and rugged build of their products. They also don’t take themselves too seriously, as you’ll find out within moments of visiting their web site.

The NutSac lineup ranges in size from a bag for the essentials (amusingly called the “Man-Bag, Dammit!”) up to the “Satchel Pro” designed for all that plus your iPad Pro and accessories (this is the one my shopping list). Up until this week, the series was only available in a rugged green color which some found to be appropriate for more casual use. The black collection definitely brings a more dressed-up look for both work and casual situations.

Join the Man-Bag Revolution by hopping over to NutSacbags.com for more information and check out their offerings on Amazon too.

The Nintendo Switch isn’t nearly as cool as this Game Boy lunchbox

You’ll be the envy of every nerd and gaming geek in the cafeteria when you come strolling in with the Game Box Lunchbox from Mustard. That’s Mustard the company who makes this bento-style lunchbox, and not the condiment. The Game Box lunchbox features a classic Nintendo Game Boy style shape and graphics that take you back to a simpler time when Mario ruled and Donkey Kong drooled.

The 5.14 x 3.96 x 7.68 inch lunch box is made of BPA-free plastic and is dishwasher and microwave safe (not including the lid).

The lid latches on top of the 3 compartment base to provide a watertight seal. And there’s even a set of plastic cutlery included.

Feed your retro cravings and buy the Mustard Bento Game Box Lunch Box for $10.38 (with free shipping) from Amazon.

ThinkGeek has the perfect bag for your next Comic-con

Last week Bob told us about a bag from ThinkGeek called The Bag of Holding. Today I want to tell you about another Bag of Holding from ThinkGeek. This time it’s a bag that’s been designed especially to survive a convention. The Con-Survival Edition of the Bag of Holding has several cool features that will help you enjoy your next Comic-Con.

The polyester bag has an adjustable shoulder strap and a grab handle and it has a large area where you can stick patches. Bonus: visit a ThinkGeek booth with the bag and they’ll give you a con-specific patch!

The Con-Survival Edition of the Bag of Holding also has a zippered see-through tablet holder that opens with a handsfree hinge so you can use the tablet without holding on to it.

The bag also features a water bottle holder one one side and a poster holder on the opposite side.

Thanks to Joe Porletto who told me about this bag. He ordered one for his next convention after just attending Pax East. I told them that I’ve never attended a Comic Con and have been thinking about going to the one in Indy a few weeks from now. He convinced me that I should definitely go.

The The Con-Survival Edition bag is priced at $34.99. Visit ThinkGeek to order one.

Magpul DAKA wallets: tough, waterproof, super slim

A while back, I posted a news item about the Magpul DAKA Pouch. Made in the U.S.A. from polymer-infused, chemical-resistant, non-hygroscopic (will not absorb moisture) textiles with an anti-slip texture that are impenetrably RF-welded on all seams, the DAKA Pouch is one of the toughest gear carrying items you may ever find. 

Not content with just pouches, Magpul has also released two DAKA Wallets: the DAKA Essential Wallet (above left) and the DAKA Micro Wallet (above right). The DAKA Essential Wallet holds 3-7 cards in a combination of 1 pocket in the front and 2 in the back, (check out the video) while the DAKA Micro Wallet holds 1-3 cards in a single pocket. Both are available in Flat Dark Earth (shown above left), Black (shown above right), Stealth Gray or Olive Drab Green colors. The Magpul DAKA Essential Wallet retails for $16.95 and the DAKA Micro Wallet retails for $9.95. I have to say, these look pretty cool; that DAKA Essential Wallet could give my current EDC wallet, the SlimFold Soft Shell wallet, a run for its money. Shoot over to magpul.com for additional info or to order.
