Set yourself Phree!

By on June 3, 2015 in apple, design, general geekery, shiny metal objects, tools

phreehandOTM Technologies has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund production of its innovative input device pen. There have been a lot of variations of virtual pen input devices in recent years, but Phree introduces some new inventions by this team that may change the way you take meeting notes, draw pictures, or interact with your touch screen devices entirely. They have already gotten half a million dollars over and beyond their goal of $100k in initial funding. This puppy is funded and the Phree is pretty stinkin’ cool. The Phree lets you ‘write’ literally ANYWHERE, on virtually any surface, thanks to their custom designed 3D laser. Just three weeks to go before the Phree campaign is over. Check them out on Twitter or Facebook. You might want to join the other 3000+ backers they have on Kickstarter as well. They still have some earlybird offerings left at nice discounts.

Apple Watch meets Toughbook – but better

By on May 30, 2015 in apple, design, kickstarter, shiny metal objects

epikunderFor those of you who already have your own Apple Watch and cannot get enough of its elegance and wish there was a way to protect “The Precious,” – BOOM. Meet Epik. This rugged case for your Apple Watch is finely machined so that all features of the watch are still accessible, but without fear of damaging it as you go on your epic jaunts down mountainscapes or fighting off al Qaida or Sasquatch. The crown still turns, it can still see your pulse. You’re golden. Their Kickstarter campaign still has some early bird deals that are likely better than they’ll ever be when/if they start selling these outside of the Kickstarter deal.

They are not newbies in this field. This new Kickstarter campaign ends in a couple of weeks – so if you’ve got an Apple Watch or have one on the way – this is a sexy-cool accessory you won’t want to miss. It’s not cheap – but neither is a Lifeproof case – and those things are just plastic. For the same price as a Lifeproof case, you can get a pretty awesome, metal case for your new baby.
