The Apple iPhone Micro USB Adapter is currently only being sold in the UK Apple Stores (both online and retail) for £8.00 (S$16.23).

I bought it from the Apple Store at Regent Street when I was there in London for Nokia World 2011. I think it is a good gift to give to people who are Apple fans because you can’t get it anywhere else in the world!

I backed Heckler Design OneLessDrop (Kickstarter link) on Kickstarter way back on 4th February 2011. It was funded on 2nd March 2011 and raised a total of US$22,271, though the goal was only US$12,500.

I paid US$25 + US$10 shipping (total: US$35) for it. It was shipped on the week of 5th September 2011 and I received it on the 27th September 2011.

I got the Bluelounge Extra Connectors (Micro USB) for US$5.95 (~S$7.22) for my Bluelounge The Sanctuary as I needed an extra Micro USB port to charge both my HTC Destire and HTZ Mozart at the same time.

If you just ship the Extra Connectors to Singapore, it cost US$2.53 (~S$3.07) for USPS (First Class Mail International Parcels). Since I am already buying the Bluelounge MiniDock, I just need to top up US$1 more for the shipping cost.

The Bluelounge Notebook Kit can be bought from Design Museum Shop located at Red Dot Traffic for S$31.05.

I also saw the Notebook Kit being sold at EpiCentre at Ion Orchard for S$39 (after 10% member’s discount is S$35.10) which is slightly more expensive than Design Museum Shop. Challenger at IMM on the other hand is selling for S$29 (after 10% member’s discount is S$26.10) which is the cheapest among the three shops.

I can’t seem to find Bluelounge Cableyoyo selling in Singapore, I got mine as part of the Bluelounge Notebook Kit (2 Cableyoyos is included) which I got it at Design Museum Shop for S$31.05.

I did a search on HardwareZone Forums and saw some posts saying they got it from iStudio. I went to a few iStudio shops around town and could not find it. If I happened to find it, I will update this post again with the location of the shop and the price.

Got the Bluelounge CableBox Mini for S$37.35 at the Design Museum Shop which is located at Red Dot Traffic.

Challenger also does sell the Bluelounge CableBox Mini and it is cheaper, for S$34.90 (after member’s discount is S$31.41) but they have only 3 colors available which are Pink, Blue and Yellow. I needed white to match my white Huawei Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and Huawei Residential Gateway (RG). Design Museum Shop does sell all colors of CableBox Mini.

Got the Bluelounge POP from DG LifeStyle Shop located at VivoCity for S$18. The service from that shop is getting from bad to worst. If not because the Bluelounge POP is not sold elsewhere in Singapore, I would not be bothered getting from that shop.

The Bluelounge POP is essentially a cable winder that makes use of suction cup to attached itself to the back of your gadget as long as the surface at the back is smooth. Once it is attached, you can wind the wires of your headphone around it.

Got the Bluelounge CableDrop from Challenger at Funan for S$16.90 (after member’s discount is S$15.21). I left 1 more, Bluelounge Cableyoyo to complete my collection for Bluelounge cable management!

As you know by now, I am a huge fan of Bluelounge products, my latest purchase from them this time round is the CableClip. I got all 3 sizes (Small, Medium & Large) from Challenger at Funan. Each cost S$16.90 and after 10% member’s discount, it cost S$15.21. I have to say these clips are pretty expensive, but I think of it as supporting a company that makes great products!
