Accessories distributed by Ban Leong across audio, cables, and docks.
The j5create UltraDrive Kit (JCD389) retails for S$199 on Hachi Tech and is the first modular dock I've come across. Five tiny swappable kits are included, covering VGA, HDMI, Mini DisplayPort, gigabit Ethernet, and SD/microSD card reading.
The j5create USB-C Triple Display Docking Station (JCD543) retails for S$199. As the name suggests, it drives up to three monitors and packs 13 ports in an elongated 300g body.
The Moshi Xync with Lightning Connector, in white, retails for S$55.90, with a black Micro USB version at S$48.90. This certified cable has a sliding USB port and a hidden compartment storing a micro and nano SIM.
The Moshi iVisor Glass Screen Protector retails for S$56.90 for the iPhone 6 Plus and S$49.90 for the iPhone 6. Not fully transparent, it comes in black for Space Grey iPhones and white for Silver and Gold, measuring 0.3mm thin.
The Moshi iGlaze Armour for iPhone 6 Plus retails for S$59.90 in three colours, Satin Gold, Jet Silver, and Gunmetal Grey, each matching an iPhone finish. The iPhone 6 version offers the same colours for S$5 less, at S$54.90.
The TYLT Syncable-Duo is a 2-in-1, tangle-free flat cable with both Lightning and Micro USB connectors, similar in concept to the Innergie MagiCable Duo and Ozaki O!tool Combo. The 1m version retails for S$39 in Black, Blue, Red, and Green.
The Moshi Overture for iPhone 6 Plus is a folio-style wallet case retailing for S$59.90 in three colours, Brushed Titanium, Sahara Beige, and Steel Black, each matching an iPhone. The iPhone 6 version offers the same colours cheaper at S$54.90.
Not many have heard of TYLT, myself included, though I recognised its boldly coloured, nicely designed packaging before placing the name. I still can't work out what TYLT stands for, as their about page doesn't say.
I think the Moshi VersaKeyboard for iPad Air is a clever invention. It retails for S$139 in a single colour, Graphite Black, with a polycarbonate back shell, built around the Moshi VersaCover Origami Case I reviewed earlier.
The Moshi SenseCover for iPhone, retailing for S$54.90, brings iPhone users a taste of Samsung's S View Flip Cover. Since Apple doesn't support the feature, it's limited to three things: checking the date, and swiping to answer or reject calls.
The Moshi VersaCover Origami Case for iPad Air launched in December 2013 for S$89, in four colours, Denim Blue, Velvet Grey, Sakura Pink, and Aloe Green. At about 150g, it's 10g heavier than Apple's iPad Air Smart Case.
The Ozaki O!tool Combo Cable is a charge-and-sync cable for Lightning and micro-USB devices, much like the Innergie Magic Cable Duo. It retails for S$39, measures one metre, weighs 35g, and comes in black or white, at a reasonable price.
The Moshi iVisor Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 5/5s, at S$48.90, is a slightly cheaper alternative to the Spigen GLAS.tR Nano Slim. Weighing just 10g, it's bubble-proof, shock-proof, and scratch-resistant. I applied it to my iPhone 5.
The Moshi iGlaze Armour is a metallic case for the iPhone 5/5s, retailing for S$54.90 in Bronze, Silver, and Black to match the phone. Its build is solid, with an aluminium backplate and polycarbonate body, plus an open bottom.
The Moshi Cardette 3 is in its third generation, hence the number, neatly coinciding with USB 3.0. It's a USB 3.0 card reader with a built-in 2-port USB 3.0 hub, and at just 88g it's wonderfully lightweight and travel-friendly.
The Ozaki O!coat 0.3+Pocket is an extremely thin, 0.3mm, and lightweight 9g case made from polypropylene. Its leather-textured back includes a cardholder slot for one credit card, or two at a push. It also holds paper reminders.
The Moshi 3.5mm Audio Jack Splitter, at S$20.90, offers something most splitters lack, even the pricey Belkin one, letting one of the two connected earphones support a microphone. A splitter lets two people share music from a single device.
IonBank is Moshi's range of portable battery packs, currently three products: the IonBank 10k, plus the IonBank 5k in Lightning and Micro USB versions. The 5k holds 5,000mAh and has two integrated cables, one a Lightning or Micro USB connector.
The Braven BRV-1 IPX5 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker retails for S$228 at physical stores like EpiCentre and Infinite, or online via Ban Leong's eStore. Besides being a lightweight, rugged Bluetooth speaker at 346g, it doubles as an emergency portable charger.
The Moshi Codex Air and Codex Retina are new from Moshi, lightweight carrying cases for the MacBook Air 11/13-inch or MacBook Pro Retina 13/15-inch. Codex protects your MacBook from the wear of daily use. This is the Air 13 Titanium.
The Moshi USB Cable with Lightning Connector, in black or white, retails for S$31.90, about S$4 more than Apple's original Lightning to USB Cable. Both are one metre and equally official, but Moshi's costs more thanks to its aluminium-encased connectors.
My mom helped me RMA my Leadtek PX9800GX2 at Ban Leong after it died last Sunday. Li Xiang was using my desktop when the screen showed grey horizontal lines, then purple squares, before lagging so badly the computer became unusable.
