Cases, docks, stands, and bags for phones, tablets, and laptops, with plenty of magnetic accessories.
The Targus Crave II Convertible 3-In-1 Backpack for MacBook Air/Pro 13-inch (TSB772AP) retails for S$109. As the name suggests, it can be carried three ways, as a backpack, a messenger bag, or slipcase, with a dedicated compartment protecting both devices.
I bought the Bluelounge Milo (Aluminium) from Funan's Challenger for S$39, or S$35.10 with member's price. I already own the original Milo from about two years ago, and though the aluminium is S$20 dearer, I love every aspect of it.
The Speck SeeThru is a hardshell case for the MacBook Air 11 or 13-inch. It's thinner and lighter than the STM Grip, but lacks the suede inner lining that stops the shell scratching the laptop. The material is also reflective.
The STM Grip is a hard shell case for the MacBook Air 13, with versions also for the Air 11, MacBook Pro 13, and Pro Retina 13 and 15. It retails for S$69 at DISTEXPRESS or Apple Premium Resellers.
I hadn't heard of Bootcase before, but thanks to DISTEXPRESS for seeding it, the Bootcase Hybrid Snap Case has replaced my SwitchEasy Nude as my default iPhone 5 case. It retails for S$45 from DISTEXPRESS or Apple Premium Resellers.
The Bluelounge Mika is an all-in-one stand that supports the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air or Pro. Made from a solid aluminium block with soft rubber edges to prevent scratches, it retails for S$49 from DISTEXPRESS or Apple Premium Resellers.
I bought the Belkin EaseFit Plus Armband for iPhone 5 from Funan's Challenger for S$35, or S$31.50 with member's price, ahead of my 10km Straits Times Run in the Park 2013 on 25th August. A simpler Ease-Fit Armband costs S$29.
I was an early backer of OCDock on Kickstarter, pledging on 4th December 2012. It funded, raising US$107,979 against a US$49,000 goal. The project slipped a few months, due to ship in January 2013, but I received mine in May.
During BHG's bi-annual super sale, Li Xiang bought me the Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag in Small for just S$69 from the Bugis outlet. The Extra Small version and an iPad sleeve were also on sale, at S$59.90 and S$25 respectively.
I was an early backer of Flybridge, pledging on 29th December 2012. It funded on 1st February 2013, raising US$19,365 against a US$15,000 goal. As an early backer, I got each for US$10, so I bought two, plus US$10 shipping.
I bought the Timbuk2 Custom Laptop Messenger Bag from timbuk2.com during a 20% off custom bag sale in early March 2013. I paid US$119.20, plus US$15 for the Navy Custom Strap Pad, with UPS Worldwide Expedited shipping.
I bought the Timbuk2 Command Messenger Bag, in black oxford nylon and medium size, while in San Francisco in December 2011. It cost US$130, or US$141.38 after California's 8.75% tax. The bag is TSA-friendly in the US.
My brother gave me the Timbuk2 Freestyle Messenger Bag for iPad, then around US$89. It's now on offer at timbuk2.com for US$54. Despite being an iPad bag, its main compartment fits a 13-inch MacBook Air.
I bought the Cote&Ciel Spree Messenger Bag in Grey Melange from city'super at Harbour City in Hong Kong for HK$1,250, about S$200. The medium size fits up to a 13-inch laptop. I'm now a Cote&Ciel fan, their designs are unique.
The Timbuk2 Dime Bag seems discontinued, as I can no longer find it on timbuk2.com, which explains the 50% off at Cineleisure's Timbuk2 shop. Usually S$29, it's now just S$14.50, in red or green. Note the shop has moved.
When I bought the Elevation Dock, it shipped with a 30-pin connector, since the Kickstarter predated Apple's Lightning announcement. Elevation Lab worked hard afterwards on a Lightning adapter, and on 8th November 2012 it finally went into production.
The Elevation Dock was the 8th Kickstarter project I backed, on 7th February 2012. It funded just days later, raising US$1,464,706 against a US$75,000 goal. It was meant to ship that April, but delays meant I only received it later.
I ordered the Black Denim Utility Pouch from Fabrix Cases alongside my Fabrix Sleeve for iPhone 5, paying US$29.90 for the pouch plus US$6 SingPost Registered shipping. I bought them on 24th September 2012 and received them four days later.
I ordered the Neutral Pack Grey Sleeve for my iPhone 5 from Fabrix Cases, paying US$21.90. It fits the iPhone 5 so precisely that it's a touch too tight, making the phone difficult to remove. Hopefully it loosens after use.
I bought the Western Digital My Passport Carrying Case from Changi City Point's Challenger for S$9.90, or S$8.90 with member's price. I use the My Passport Essential (2011) and Li Xiang the 2012 model, and the case fits both drives.
The Infinite Loop Tablet and Smartphone Stand was the 3rd project I backed on Kickstarter, and so far the only one I'm disappointed with, its build and quality just horrible. As the name suggests, it's a coil-like stand you twist.
I first got my Cocoon Grid-It last July from Amazon, before ESA Distribution brought it to Singapore. Now it's easy locally, at Kinokuniya, NBC Stationery, Takashimaya, and Cumulus. This time I picked up the 7.25 x 9.25 for S$19.95.
