The design features a white-space, minimalistic feel that uses lines and dots to form the shape of each digit. Come… Read More

For the most part, using any gadgets require two hands: One to hold the device and the other as the controller. While the iPad has a comfortable design that fits nicely into our hands, sometimes the grip could feel better improved than just grabbing on to one side of the tablet. Or what if you want to set the iPad or iPhone upright while you're reading off a recipe in the kitchen, or need to double the device as a GPS navigator as… Read More

If you're someone who uses your cellphone a lot and all day, it's probably wise to bring an extra set of USB cords with you in case of an emergency charging session.

Whatever your scenario is, carrying USB cords with you just got simpler. Instead of whipping… Read More

If you read our headphone reviews, then you already know we've grown weary of what passes for a high-quality headphone these days. At the risk of sounding really stuck up, we're going to put it all out there and proclaim that the land of headphones has become a much less respectable place.

The Kickstarter project aims to create a pair of earbuds with cords encapsulated inside a flexible, elastic cable.… Read More

People are always reinventing everyday item in a special way that makes us go: Why didn't we think of that? Such was the case with the redesigned Pringles packaging we saw this week. But this handsfree umbrella? We're not sure what to make of it. Named the Nubrella (not to be confused with Nutella), this umbrella design straps onto the wearer's shoulders for support while a plastic canopy covers your head to shield from rain.… Read More
