Scosche MagicMount has similar concept to the Logitech + trip Universal Air Vent Mount iS45.

MagicMount is a new magnetic mounting system for conveniently mounting your smartphone, tablet and more. Just hover your device near the cell phone holder’s magnetic surface and it instantly locks securely in place.

The Logitech + trip Universal Air Vent Mount is only available for sale in China, Canada and US.

My Hong Kong cousin bought it for me in China. In China, it is retailing for CN¥179 and in the US and Canada they are retailing for US$29.99 and CA$29.99 respectively. The price average out to be about S$40. If you are interested in getting this in Singapore, you can get it from Amazon for US$29.99 and they do ship to Singapore directly

Krusell
In case you are not familiar with the brand Krusell, Krusell is a manufacturer of smartphone and tablet accessories. They are a Swedish company and have been around since 1991. I remember seeing Krusell cases being sold at Singtel shops when my Dad got his first mobile phone back in the 90s.

When the smartphone era came, I didn’t see much of Krusell cases around. But I guess now they are back.

Together with my Nexus 6, I bought the Spigen Nexus 6 Case Ultra Hybrid from MobyShop for S$26.

MobyShop only carries the Metal Slate and Crystal Clear version of the Spigen Nexus 6 Case Ultra Hybrid. I chose the metal slate because I don’t like the frosted and silicone look of the TPU bumper on the crystal clear.

ARQ Dock by 2040 Design Studio is an aluminum modular nesting dock for smartphones or tablets with or without cases on. It’s unique feature allows you to group several ARQ Docks together so that it looks neater. Looks can sometimes be deceiving because the cables from the group of ARQ docks is pretty messy as well.

The default packaging comes with a micro USB cable. It supports official and third party Apple 30pin cables, Apple Lightning cables, micro USB cables and Samsung USB 3.0 cables.

I always wanted to get a Herschel Supply‘s backpack but just lack the impulse to do so because I already have lots of bags.

The impulse came when I was shopping around Orchard Road with my secondary school friend who is back in Singapore for a week.

I love Just Mobile’s stands, the quality is just fantastic. I got the Just Mobile HeadStand from Bangkok, Thailand and when I saw the Just Mobile UpStand in Hong Kong, I immediately bought it.

Just Mobile UpStand is an solid aluminum stand that is compatible with all iPads (even iPad Mini) whether the iPad is in portrait or landscape mode. It weighs 329g and measures 15 x 15 x 17.7 (cm).

If you have bought the Power Support Air Jacket from Apple Store Online or from official Apple Stores, you will realised that it is actually Air Jacket Force. Power Support Air Jacket Force is an exclusive item available only in Apple Stores.

The difference between the normal Air Jacket and Air Jacket Force is the raised bezel on the case that protrudes the screen a little (not flushed with the screen). This ensures that your screen is slightly off the surface of a table if you decide to place your iPhone 6/6 Plus screen facing down. Today I learned (TIL) that the term for that is called “lip“.

Previously, I am using the Just Mobile Xtand Go for my car but after changing to iPhone 6 Plus, the Xtand Go can no longer hold it and hence, I have to find an alternative.

The iOttie Easy One Touch 2 Car Mount Holder is the #1 best seller in Amazon’s Cell Phone Cradles, Mounts & Stands category. The usual price is US$29.95 (S$40), but during Black Friday, they brought down the price to US$17.49 (S$23). For shipping to Singapore, it qualifies for the free AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping.
