Bellroy Note Sleeve

Straight away I loved the way this product was packaged, people like to say you should never judge a book by its cover but the beautifully embossed, stitched and lined cardboard wallet hinted at a quality that was hard to ignore (with bonus points for being recyclable). The Note Sleeve, as with all the Bellroy products aims at keeping things slim, they eliminate leather in between the pockets to reduce bulk whilst designing the pockets as such to allow for easy access, for example the cheeky pull out tab is an innovative idea that slides any infrequently u

Pod 2 - GPS Pet Tracker + Activity Monitor

The UK Pet Register reports 1 in 3 pets will go missing in it's lifetime and many pet owners can relate to the fear and anguish that come with their furry friend going for a walkabout. The Pod 2 promises to be the world's smallest, lightest pet GPS tracker and activity monitor on the market designed to fit on your pet's collar, track it's activity and give you it's location on demand. The Pod is a cylindrical shape with no corners, making it really comfortable for your pet to wear.

Lapa 2- Bluetooth Object Finder

We have had similar products to this before with the CHIPOLO which at the time was a let down due to the app failing to connect with any consistency, so I started my test of the Lapa 2 with a degree of scepticism. I downloaded the app (compatible with iphone 4 +, ipad 3rd gen + and Android 4.3 +) synced the Lapa 2 and attached it to my keys without any difficulty, the free app provides a simple enough walkthrough.

Waterfield Designs Staad Attache

I make no attempt to hide the fact that we are fans of Waterfield and were excited to get a look at their new Staad Attache bag, available in 3 specific sizes, iPad Pro 12.9, 13" MacBook Air or Surface Pro 4, although purposefully built to these dimensions they will also accommodate cases and some keyboards. It features the military designed pull tab clasp that we have come to know and love making quick access a breeze, the two front pockets are angled as such for easier and faster access also and can house up to an iPhone 6s Plus or similar.

Sphero 2.0

Sphero 2.0 comes to us from the same people that created Ollie and we fell head over heels in love with him so we were excited to get our grubby paws on the original product. Sphero 2.0 is a tough polycarbonate ball that is propelled by an electric motor and controlled via Bluetooth from an app on your smartphone or tablet, it has an inbuilt LED light for playing in low light and can travel up to speeds of 4.5mph.

Hobbico RealFlight Drone RC Flight simulator

The Hobbico RealFlight Drone is an RC flight simulator created for drone enthusiasts allowing them to hone their flight skills without the risk of damaging their drones in the process. It comes with an InterLink Elite transmitter controller and a disk for your computer or laptop that installs easily enough by following the on-screen instructions.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5

The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 aims to create the most natural pen on paper writing experience of any eWriter in the world. It is very light, much lighter and thinner than my normal notepad which slides its way down the fridge, at a feather light 0.3 pounds and 0.6 inches thin, there are two built in magnets on the back that can hold it in place on metal surfaces and it comes with a replaceable coin-cell battery that lasts up to 50,000 erases.

Belkin Valet Charge Dock for Apple Watch + iPhone

This attractive charging dock not only has an adjustable Lightning connector for charging an iPhone it also includes an integrated magnetic Apple Watch charger. The first of its kind to do so which allows you to charge both from one cable. This is a high end product and it is built as such, the solid and heavy aluminium base has a non-slip rubber bottom and the shiny solid cast arm with a chrome finish looks streamline and modern, it is also pretty compact at 4.3 x 5.28 x 3.47 so you won’t have to dedicate a lot of space for it.

Merge VR Goggles

The Merge VR Goggles are a bright purple VR headset made out of squidgy foam that is compatible with nearly any iOS and Android device released in the last two years. I love the look of these, they are colourful and while the chunky block edges look great they more importantly form a massive protective case for your phone whilst it’s in there, you can throw it in your bag or let the kids pull it about without too much worry. There are holes in all the right places so you can still access charging ports and volume keys for example.
