iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit

iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning KitI saw this earlier and thought immediately about blogging about it on this blog. I’ve been looking for something like this for an absolute age and now, thanks to PriceGrabber and Firebox.com, I can get one for a really affordable price.

Costing just under £8 the iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit is the ideal solution to getting, and keeping, my iPhone clean. I really look after my iPhone these days after the little accident it received at the hands of a so-called “friend”, but I won’t go in to that again.

The iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit not only cleans iPhones, oh no, you can use it to clean any smartphone. Actually, you could use it to clean any glass fronted device I should imagine.

The iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit works by having a reservoir of special cleaning fluid inside it that’s gets delivered to a spenge that you wipe over the screen. It couldn’t be easier to do. Once you’ve cleaned your device, you can use the included micro fibre carry cloth to give it that final polish and dry.

The stylus that comes with the iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit is great if you have bigger than normal fingers and need to be slightly more accurate when you’re writing an SMS message or email. Don’t ask me how it works, I have absolutely no idea.

This is something that all iPhone, or smartphone, owners should have. It helps keep your device free from dirt and grime and could even prolong the life of it. The iPhone Stylus and Touchscreen Cleaning Kit is ideal if you want to keep your device looking like new too (we all know how important that is if we want to sell the device on after getting an upgrade, don’t we).

I doubt anyone who gets one of these will be disappointed.

Moontent

MoontentThis is a great addition to any day trip that you might be planning on going on soon (if the weather holds up that is). The Moontent is a two person tent that’s as easy as pie to set up. There’s no need for clumsy poles and fly sheets. The Moontent is an all in one tent. You do however have to peg it down.

Measuring just 50cm when folded, the Moontent is definitely one of the smallest tents on the market right now. Ideal for putting in the boot of the car for when you go to the beach or park. The Moontent can literally be pitched in seconds. And let’s face it, with the weather we’ve been having recently, every second counts.

The Moontent is great for providing protection from the sun too because the fabric has been treated to give you a sun protection rating of UPF50 (Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50), which is the highest rating that you can get. Which is another great reason to get this tent.

Weighing just 2.5Kg it’s not that heavy to carry around either. The Moontent is quite possibly one of the best buys you can make if you plan on being in the great outdoors this summer. As always PriceGrabber has done all the searching for you and found the cheapest prices available. So, grab one today for about £30 - you can’t really go wrong.

Yondi

YondiIsn’t that the cutest thing you’ve seen recently? So what is it I hear you ask? Well, it’s a Yondi. A Yondi is a travel pillow for small children. It’s a great little thing for when you’re travelling giving you peace of mind. You know how it is; your child is falling asleep in their chair in the back but you can’t concentrate fully because their head is lolling from side to side and slumping forward all the time.

Well the Yondi will stop all that happening because of its unique design. It’s not only useful on car journeys either. You can use the Yondi on any journey whether it is a plane, boat or train.

The Yondi is the ideal solution for any child between the ages of 1 and 8. It has special magnets in its “paws” that attach together securely underneath the child’s chin to hold it in place. It’s even double sided for use in both summer and winter.

The Yondi is available in a range of colours and two sizes; small and medium. The Yondi is also available through PriceGrabber now for under £12. What are you waiting for; you know you want to enjoy that journey in peace and quiet so go grab one.

North Face Messenger Bag

North Face Messenger BagNow I know that the North Face Messenger Bag isn’t a gadget as such, but it does help to protect my gadgets. Well, it will do when it arrives. You see, I wanted a bag that I could use everyday and was tough. The North Face Messenger Bag ticks both of those boxes, and then some. For starters it is large enough for me to fit my A3 sketchpad and laptop in to it, as well as pockets for smaller items such as a pencil case and iPod. The dimensions, if you really want to know are 38 cm x 45 cm x 13 cm. This gives the North Face Messenger Bag a 25 litre volume.

The one pictured above cost just under £45. Now I know that seems very expensive for a bag, but you’re paying for quality here. I know that in a few months time, the North Face Messenger Bag will still be in one piece. The North Face are renowned the world over for the quality of their merchandise, which is why I have faith that this bag will become a vital part of my everyday travels.

I have a rucksack at the moment, and whilst it does a fairly good job of carrying my folder and notepad, there simply isn’t any room for much else. With the winter and cold weather on the way I’ll need a tough, waterproof bag. So getting the North Face Messenger Bag is more of an investment for my needs rather than a want. I could quite easily spend £20 on a bag, but I wouldn’t be getting the quality and durability of the North Face Messenger Bag.

Folks, a good bag is essential for anyone who does a lot of travelling on a daily basis, so why not get a bag that’s going to last a good few years?

Protective case for your iPod Touch

Belkin iPod Touch case I think it’s always a wise move to buy good protection for your most expensive gadgets. Especially if that gadget happens to be an iPod touch. It’s not a gadget that you buy and put in the corner of the room or place neatly on your desk. If you’re like me, you’re constantly picking it up, putting it in your pocket and putting it back down again. As you may or may not know, the iPod touch has a metal body - it’s shiny and scratch free when you take it out of the box. I’d like for mine to stay that way.

So how do you protect it? Well, my suggestion would be for you to buy a silicone sleeve case for it. The one I’d go for on PriceGrabber is the Belkin iPod Touch Silicone SLVE and, at less than £10 you can’t go wrong.
Under ten pounds to protect a prized piece of technology isn’t much. You’ll be glad you did. Once that metal casing starts to get scratched there’s not much you can do to restore it. OK, it might make the iPod touch a bit thicker, but it’s going to protect it really well from knocks, bumps and heaven forbid, a drop. It’s made of tough silicone, so it has a bit of give in it. Enough to protect the iPod from an accidental dropping.

So my advice to you if you’re planning on buying an iPod touch for yourself or as a gift. Buy the Belkin iPod Touch Silicone SLVE sleeve too. You’ll be glad you did.
