Light Up Rainbow Unicorn Phone Charging Cable


These cords are magical. Why are we still charging our iPhones and iPads and Galaxys with boring plain white cables? We put our phone into a showy blingy case and then plug it in with a nothing cable? It stops now. This Unicorn Phone Charging Cable has everything you could ever want out of a charger cable. You thought you just wanted one that doesn’t break right where the rubber cable meets the tip? Wrong! You wanted more but just never knew it. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

Bells- check. Whistles- check. Not only does this cable have a unicorn’s head that you plug into your phone, it has one with a rainbow horn, like all unicorns should have. It’s a unicorn emoji, because of course it is. And the USB end of the cable? Smiley face. Because why not? Shouldn’t every USB plug have one? Yes. And the third part of the cable- the cord itself? It lights up. Not just in one color- but in an array of rainbow colors. Because it can. The cable is 3ft long and comes in both iPhone and Android compatible styles. So everyone’s happy.

Beach Sunshade with iPad Holder


The beach is for maximum relaxation, not for being bothered with pesky “work” like having to hold up your iPad or Kindle. Well put your well tanned arms down because this Sunshade with Tablet Holder does the work for you. The adjustable canopy not only blocks the sun’s rays (with 50+ UPF protection) but it also has a strap on the underside to hold your device. And with the shade it provides, there’s no glare so even your eyes can relax.

The days of holding a towel over your head so you can post selfies of your legs in front of the ocean or pool to Facebook or Instagram are over with this sunshade (we’re talking about the towel part- obviously you’re still going to post pictures of your legs because what’s the point if you can’t make your friends jealous of your location?).

This canopy comes with a comfy looking canvas headrest if you just want to lay out on a towel (or directly on the sand if you’re one of those types) but it can also clip onto most chairs and beach loungers. So you can not only use it by the beach but also poolside, in your yard, or on your boat. It folds flat for compact storage and it’s easy to bring down to the sand because it includes a carrying backpack (the whole thing weighs in at a sand hauling friendly 7 pounds). It even includes a pair of sand spikes in case it gets windy. So get out there and get busy relaxing.

Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag

mixbag Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
The nice folks from Mixbag sent us over a sample of their awesome transforming bag to try out and review. What makes this bag unique is that it can be flipped, twisted, hooked, zipped, folded, and otherwise contorted into 10 different bag styles. So many ways, that it actually comes with a set of instructions showing you what it can do:
Instruction how to transform Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
The bag is essentially two bags that can be zipped together. As you can tell from the instructions, the bags can be used together as one big bag, or you can be separated to use only one side if you don’t need as much bag. That’s flexibility! You can see that in the photos below showing the front and back of the bag- note in the bottom picture I partially unzipped them from one another:
mixbag front back Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
On the back you’ll notice 9 circles on each side in an X formation. Those are actually magnets that keep the two halves together when using the bag in some ways. All of those triangular clips let you attach the strap as needed. As you can (sort of) tell from the photo below, inside both sections of the bag there are a number of velcro and zippered pockets to keep your stuff organized as well as a stiff divider. The inside lining is a waterproof nylon.
mixbag inside Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
One of the pockets has a clip on a string to hold your keys. There’s also a mesh bottle holder that unzips and pulls out from beneath one of the smaller pockets. It comes in two sizes, designed to hold 11″ or 13″ MacBooks (or similar sized computers or iPads). The size we are reviewing here in the 11″. The Mixbag has even more tricks up it’s sleeves. Unzip the bottom of one of the larger pockets and out drops a nylon pouch that expands the pocket size:
mixbag backpack Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
This essentially doubles the size of the bag, allowing you to use it in “backpack” mode (#3 in the manual above). The Mixbag is made from a thick cotton exterior and comes in two colors, as shown for the smaller bag and black for the larger sized bag. But wait, that’s not all. Stuffed inside yet another pocket is a waterproof nylon rain cover with stretchy elastic around the border (like a fitted sheet) to wrap around the bag, as demonstrated below with our security guard:
mixbag cover Review: Mixbag Transforming Bag
They really thought of everything, right? Overall we really like the Mixbag. It is extremely functional with all the different configurations and pockets but still has a stylish urban sophisticated look to it. We like the many zippered pockets and the fact that each zipper has a pull on it and zips smoothly without getting tangled in the fabric. The bag feels very sturdy inside and out. The strap is thick and feels comfortable and we like that it has a quick release fastener.

While I was not exactly a fan of all the different modes of using it (example: over the shoulder with one half on the front of your body and one half on the back just felt weird), there were certainly enough ways that were great and useful. I felt like it would be more comfortable if the strap was just a bit longer for some applications, such as carrying it over the straps going over the shoulder across the body. It is also a bit pricy, but obviously there is a great deal of workmanship that goes into such a complex bag.

Overall the Mixbag is a really useful, versatile, and stylish bag that has a lot going for it. It works as a laptop/iPad bag as well a travel or everyday bag. It packs a large number of pockets and compartments into a small package. It separates into two bags so if you just need a smaller pack, you don’t have to haul around excess baggage. It’s a very solid well thought-out bag. You can pick one up at Mixbag’s site.

iKoroKoro Screen Cleaning Roller

The roller might be one of the most efficient ways to apply paint to walls so perhaps it also works as a gadget screen cleaner too. The iKoroKoro (from Japan if you couldn’t figure it out from the name) cleans fingerprints and smudges off your touchscreen devices by just rolling over it. Is it better than just using a cloth? Who knows, but it’s certainly looks like more work and more fun. I guess that’s just how they “roll” in Japan. (via akihabara)
