Extend Your Smartphone To Your Wrist With The Cookoo Watch

You're busy with your daily life and you have urgent messages and calls that you don’t want to miss, but sometimes you just don’t hear your ringtone or feel your phone vibrate. It’s frustrating to check your phone and find that you have a bunch of messages or calls that you had no idea you recieved. ConnecteDevice has created a solution that will help you avoid all of these nuisances. The cookoo watch is a Bluetooth connected watch that will keep you updated with all of your latest messages and notifications all on the stylish clock face.

Even if you don’t have your phone on you, the cookoo watch will still notify you of your messages. This simple accessory can be customized and prioritized based on what you want. Using Bluetooth’s SMART technology, it will keep you connected with all of your daily updates. This Kickstarter project brings a simple concept and puts it onto your wrist to ensure you are always up-to-date. The best part is, you don’t have to recharge the cookoo watch everyday; the button-sized battery will last you the entire year. 

You can preorder the cookoo watch at Kickstarter beginning at $50, depending on your preference. It will be compatible with any Bluetooth SMART smartphones, such as the iPhone, the new iPad, Samsung’s Galaxy S3, as well as many others.

Fine Grain's Bowden, Sheffield iPad Cases Are Made From Premium Materials

Fine Grain's Bowden and Sheffield iPad cases are handcrafted, protection bliss. These one-of-a-kind stylish cases have a rigid, protective hard shell design with a side loading, ultra-soft felt lined compartment that fits both the new iPad 3rd Gen as well as the iPad 2 and offer complete protection. Both the Bowden and Sheffield cases have the same design concept with the exception of having different materials. Both feature a magnetic closure system in order to keep your iPad secure.

The Bowden (above), is the prestigious model milled from aircraft-grade aluminum, bead-blasted and hard-anodized for a long-lasting, Apple gadget-grade finish. The Bowden also features your choice of hand finished walnut or cherry hardwood trim and black or brown full-grain, chrome-tanned leather. The leather is said to be of the finest quality available, and will naturally wear with use, adding to the unique, natural look of the Bowden.

The Sheffield case on the other hand, is made of milled polycarbonate and comes with your choice of either hand finished cherry or walnut hardwood trim. The Sheffield's cover is cut from 100% natural wool felt, which is incredibly strong and also repeals liquids. The Sheffield's bread and butter feature is its ability to be used as a white dry-erase board. This makes the Sheffield perfect for anyone who needs to take temporary notes or sketches without the hassle of carrying around a separate notebook. Unlike the magnetic leather cover on the Bowden, the felt cover can also be used as a stand for propping your iPad at an angle suitable for typing.

There isn't much time left to pre-orders these unfortunately, so you better hurry if you like what you see. Fine Grain's Bowden case is available for $120, and the Sheffield at $100.

Thanks for the tip, Mitch!

CordLite Dock Connector Cable Illuminates The Way

We all had our frustrating moment in the dark trying to connect the charging cable to our iPhone and various other iOS devices not knowing which side is up, blindly resorting to trial and error thru the way of sensing where the dock connector port is. The CordLite answers that very specific need and points you to the right direction using the power of light. Like any standard USB 30-pin dock connector cable, the CordLite can sync and charge your iPhone, iPad or iPod, but when you pick it up, the CordLite's bead blasted aluminum touch sensitive panels surrounding the 30-pin connector eliminate the need of switched and buttons, instantly illuminate the built-in LED lights to help you make the connection in the dark. Letting go will automatically turn of the guiding lights in the connector. Brilliant!

Finding the cable itself in the dark is easier to do than having to guess your way to making a rather complex connection with minimal visibility, wouldn't you say? The CordLite is currently a Kickstarter project waiting to be fully funded which it will, and will be ready to ship in September. You can pre-order yours now starting at $25 with your choice of black or white cable. Video after the break!

HAND Stylus Clicky Pen With Retractable Fine Tip

Finally, a true pen-stylus! This is the HAND Stylus, a capacitive touchscreen stylus that wants to be as precise as possible with the world's most smallest, fine rubber tip at 4mm. It also features a balanced aluminum hexagon body that'll remind you of the good old days when we used those yellow pencils, knurled fingertip grip area and it has a removable stainless-steel pocket clip that can magnetically cling to the bezel of an iPad or Smart Cover.

But what really sets the HAND Stylus apart from all the rest is its ability to retract the stylus tip with a click of a button. You know, like an actual clicky pen. The retractable tip not only remains protected while not in use, it wears more evenly due to even rotation every time it is retracted. The HAND Stylus is available in a host of matte and shiny anodized colors and is now up for pre-order at Kickstarter for $25.

The Edge.Sound will work with any device that supports Bluetooth music streaming including Windows Phone, Android, BlackBerry and iOS devices. Cubedge's Edge.Sound speaker does strike our fancy with a sleek yet edgy rubbery housing and sand blasted aluminum speaker grille design. It also features a built-in mic for hands-free call and chat making, top music playback button controls, 10-hour battery life and a sweet aluminum enclosure package.

What about the sound you ask? Cubedge isn't letting out much detail about the specifications other than promising us all big sound in a small package, capable of easily filling up the most enormous room you've got in your home. We've heard that before, and as far as we know it, that's definitely a trusted saying. The Edge.Sound speaker is available to pre-order in a black, white and gray starting at $130 over at Kickstarter.

Thanks for the tip, Chris!

Aeris Rail+ iPhone Case, A Modular Accessory System

The Rail+ by Aeris is a ballistic-grade polycarbonate modular case that takes its stylish design and puts it to good use.

Aeris' Rail+ case is fitted with an integrated CNC machined stainless steel sleep/wake power button and comes with a clear polycarbonate back cover for full back protection. The Rail+ case for the iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 is now up for pre-order on Kickstarter starting at $26, and is available in 8 colors.

Une Bobine: A Bendy Dock On A Flexible Stand

If the classic Apple docks are just too plain and simple for you, then FuseChicken’s Une Bobine is a great replacement for your iPhone docking needs. Simply stick it on the dock and bend the cable whichever way and angle you please. It also acts as a fantastic stand since you can manipulate it to fit all of your needs; placing it in front of you or in landscape mode lets you have a much more comfortable viewing angle.

This Kickstarter project has exceeded its funding goal and will be available for shipping around 2 months from now. If you can’t wait to get your hands on one of these, you can pledge $25 on Kickstarter to preorder this unique accessory. 

ODOC iPhone Charging Dock Twists Into Multiple Viewing Angles

Kickstarter brought us many gorgeous looking iPhone docks in the past, but they've all had the same old docking function. The ODOC does what no other charging dock is able to do. With a simple twist of its machined aluminum and glass cylindrical shaped body, the ODOC lets you click into various different viewing angles that best suit your needs, whether it's Facetiming or comfortably adjusting the angle so that you can keep on using your iPhone without having to undock it at all.

The ODOC further features a wide enough docking space that can accommodate protective cases, a weighted base for one-handed iPhone undocking (that's a win!) and USB and audio line-out ports and it comes with a USB to USB cable. The ODOC is purely a versatile iPhone charge and sync dock. It's now available to pre-order at $109 in a bead-blasted, clear-coat finish. The ODOC also comes in glossy white and matte black at $129.
