Need a way for everyone to put their cell phones away?

7/17/2017

0 Comments

 
Earlier in the year, you may have heard how companies were using "locks" for phones during events and presentations - basically you can put your phone in a pouch or case that will lock so nobody can use their phones.  Afterwards, the pouch or case is unlocked or you can walk out of a designated 'phone free zone' for it to unlock.  These "locks" help create a phone-free/distraction-free environment. 

An item like this can also be really useful for people who get easily distracted by their phones will driving!  There will literally be no urge to check your phone while driving (yes, I will be getting one for myself).  Maybe these should also be handed out to people who like to check their phones during movies...

This little polyester pouch has an RFID shielding inner liner that blocks all cell, WiFi and Bluetooth signals - that means no incoming phone calls, text messages and notifications while the phone is sealed inside the case.  After removing the phone from the case, all voicemails, text messages and notifications will appear.  Patent pending.

The Umbrella You Can't Lose!  (Unless you forget to sync this to your phone...)

4/11/2016

0 Comments

 
This is actually available for pre-orders on Kickstarter currently, linking it because I think this is pretty cool!  Take a high-quality Davek umbrella (check out the "Wind Machine vs Davek Umbrella" video on that Kickstarter page) and make it "smart" with Davek's Loss Alert:  this umbrella easily syncs to your phone via a free app and once connected, the umbrella will send you a reminder if you accidentally leave it behind!  Basically there's a little chip hidden in the the handle, and once synced to your phone via the app, a silent signal is read by your smartphone, creating in invisible "leash" between your umbrella and phone.  If the distance between the chip and your phone exceeds a certain distance (30 ft or so), the umbrella sends a reminder to your phone.  The chip is powered by a plain coin cell battery and it's designed to go into 'sleep mode' when not in use, so a single battery will last 1+ years (depending on usage).  The battery is easily replaceable.  You'll see that this umbrella is available in three different sizes:  Mini (so mini!), Original and Grande.  Another awesome feature on this free app is the "Last Known Location" feature - your app will show you the last known location of the umbrella if you're not able to find it!

Screen Magnifier for Mobile Phones

11/2/2015

I didn't know what to really think of this when I first saw it, so I had to get one in my hands in test it out in person.  It works; It works pretty well actually.  It has a 3D lens with a 7.6" frame, magnifies the screen up to 3x and works with any phone.  We found it works super well with the iPhone 6 plus phone since it fills out the screen more (the phone pictured at the very bottom is the 6s, and yes, that is Ron Swanson).  Talk about a unique product!

A Power Bank + Charging Cable You Should Have

9/15/2015

0 Comments

 
I'm obsessed with this new power bank and charging cable.  They are two separate items, but I've been testing them both out together and am a total fan.  The power bank has 3000mAh of juice, so it easily recharges my iPhone and then some.  It has a smooth, matte finish (oooooo) and the best part of it all:  it has built-in AC adapter so you just easily plug it into the wall to recharge (ahhhhhhh).  It also has a power button and an LED indicator light to show you how much power is left.  This item is CE and FCC certified.

The charging cable has an MFI (Apple) certified lightning tip and a micro USB cable - so whether you have an iPhone or an Android, this cable has you covered!  It comes in white, black, blue, red, and gunmetal.

I've found there are some chargers and cables out there that tend to get hot - these two definitely do not!  It's nice to know that the item you're using is reliable and won't burst into flames or anything ...  I did use an older charging cable (with a non-MFI certified lightning tip) with this charger, and it did get hot because of that charging cable, so always be sure to you're using certified items!

Wireless Wood Speaker - Favorite Product of 2014

7/23/2014

0 Comments

 

So if you've been reading my blog, you must know that I'm in love with these wireless speakers that came out this year.  No Bluetooth, no wires.  Just place your phone on top and your sound is instantly amplified.

I came across this beautiful wood one and I'm obssessed. The minimum order is just 100 units and we can do a laser engraving on them!  Talk about pretty.


**Update 8/12: After comparing this speaker to the other induction speakers currently on the market, I like the sound of this one the best!  The sound is more on the high-tone side while the others capture more bass (don't get me wrong, they all sound great, but if I had to choose, I'd choose this one).  The wood too, got to love the wood. Hands down - this is my favorite product of the year.  You get the 'wow' factor, plus it's an item that's useful and fun to have and show off.**

There are so many speakers out there on the market.  We can brand brand name ones from Bose, Harmon Kardon, Beats, Marley, i-Luv, iHome, Jawbone, Sony, you name it.  There are of course, tons of fun, great quality non-brand speakers out there.  As always, I recommend seeing a sample before purchasing - testing it out is the best thing to do; you want to be sure it sounds great.  Browse through the below slideshow for a few images/quick info:

Phone Accessories - Sticky Stands & Wallets

6/25/2014

Everyone has a cell phone - brand a phone accessory that will be visible to the owner and to everyone around them!

This sticky stand works kind of like those silicone slap bracelets - it has a safe 3M adhesive on the back and all you do is push down on it and the two legs pop up to act as a phone stand.  I have one on my phone and I use it as a phone stand and when the legs are kicked up, it also acts as a comfortable phone holder when I have it in my hand as well!  Not to mention I'm constantly playing with it, but that may just be me :)

These silicone wallets are super useful!  This also has a safe 3M adhesive on the back and can hold your ID, credit cards, business cards, etc.  When I don't want to carry a bag or a wallet, I just stick the cards I need into this thing and that's it!        I've had clients ask, "Well, aren't you afraid of losing your phone?"  Yes, there is the possibility that you will lose your phone, but if I'm only needing to keep track of my phone and not anything else, the likelihood that I'm going to lose my phone decreases.  Plus, I've never actually lost my phone before - it's attached to my hip (this is probably the case with most people)!  With this wallet and the sticky stand, we can customize the silicone/imprint to your PMS color(s).  It can also come with a mirror on the back, or we can make it glow-in-the-dark!
