Lifeproof Nüüd for iPad

So you have just gotten yourself a spanking new iPad, and will be spending countless hours down the road on the Internet to check out just what are the best kinds of protection that your iPad will be able to enjoy? Look no further if you simply “know” that your iPad is going to end up wet on some days or situations – as the £129.99 Lifeproof Nüüd will be able to offer watertight protection for your iPad.

The Nüüd Case might lack a screen cover, but there is a very good reason for that – you no longer have irritating air bubbles as well as suffer from a lack of sensitivity which can get annoying if you love playing games on your iPad that require precision from your fingers. While that might be true, the Nüüd case will ensure it has its efforts focused on protecting your iPad from damage regardless of whether you’re on the road, in a boat or even caught in sneaky snow-storm.

Sporting an official protection rating of IP68, it should be able to handle just about anything a normal user throws at it. Heck, drop it from 4 feet or less, and the iPad should still be able to work without missing a beat, now how about that? The only thing prohibitive about this would be its price point, methinks.

All Star Guitar

I think, therefore I am. Well, how about “iRiff, therefore iRock!”? All right, lame jokes aside, if you think that you can carry a decent tune on your own and are currently looking out for the next big break in life as a budding musician, then you might be interested in checking out the £99.99 All Star Guitar. This unique musical axe (that supports a digital format, of course) will allow you to expand the horizons of your iPad, turning yourself into the axe god that you never thought you had in you (although you did dream of becoming one, of course).

With the All Star Guitar, all you need to do is dock your iPad into the padded compartment of this full-scale guitar-shaped controller, boot up the All Star Guitar app and you are good to go. You are able to strum the virtual strings in order to play chords of your favorite song, or just to pluck them in an individual manner. With 14 rows of illuminating fretboard buttons, you are able to play thousands of songs in a jiffy simply by following the LEDs. It does seem to feel as though this is going to be more of a game than a pure musical instrument now, right? Oh yeah, you can also kiss goodbye to blisters with the All Star Guitar – isn’t this like the next best thing since sliced bread? What are you waiting for?

3D Movie Viewer for iPhone

So you have just gotten yourself the spanking new iPhone 5, and think that it is the best thing since, well, the iPhone 4S. All right, so you are an Apple fanboy at heart, and think that Cupertino is able to do no wrong. I cannot fault you for that as Apple has one of the more impressive corporate marketing machines around, but if there is one area where the iPhone 5 fears to tread, it would be the world of 3D. Fret not, as there are always third party accessories out there that can always help you out – case in point, the £12.99 3D Movie Viewer for iPhone.

Similar to its humble predecessor, the stereoscopic View-Master, the 3D Movie Viewer for iPhone works as named. It is capable of effectively translating the YouTube 3D format by directing the left/right images to the appropriate eyeball, allowing these YouTube videos to be so lifelike, you might even catch yourself reaching out in an attempt to touch the screen. All you need to do is slip your iPhone into the hand-held viewer and let your eyeballs drop their jaws in wonder, if they had jaws to begin with.

Ghost Hunt helps you hunt down the faux supernatural

Have you ever wondered whether you would do well in an alternate career such as, say, a Ghostbuster? Unfortunate, Egon and gang are nowhere to be found, which is why you might want to get started off first yourself, with the £29.99 Ghost Hunt being a good way to get off on the right footing. The entire objective of Ghost Hunt would be to shoot down the spooky suckers using not some sort of paranormal chanting or spells brewed by a witch, but rather, using a laser gun.

Yes sir, the supernatural and undead, too, are affected by modern day technologies such as lasers. You are able to control not only the speed as well as randomness of the projected poltergeists through the settings, while it comes accompanied by a rechargeable 6-shooter which is what will help you keep track of your score. Heck, Billy the ghost will even let out a scream whenever you are accurate enough to score a direct hit.

Qlocktwo digital timepiece brightens up any room

If you want a different timepiece for your home, you might want to consider the £799.99 Qlocktwo. Sure, it is not a cheap purchase at all, where it comes in black, lime, purple and red color options, but you can be sure that this is going to be a conversation starter for whoever drops by your place. This gorgeous timepiece will let you tell the time via an elegant typographical display, where its minimalist design will show off the current time via statements instead of two hands or some numbers. For example, we are looking at time statements such as ‘it is half past nine’ and ‘it is twenty five to twelve’, where the intervening minutes will be indicated by a light in each corner.

The clock body itself is made out of quality hardwood with a high strength, glossy acrylic front plate that will come in the colors mentioned above. It is completely adjustable, where the Qlocktwo sports an automatic light sensor as well as multiple brightness settings. Not only that, you can also choose to select the option to show seconds and the date. The available languages include German, English, French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Danish, Swedish, Arabic, Swiss German and Spanish.

Arcane Arcade Table

So, you have this zany interest in arcades? How about having fun with this rather pricey (but you will not regret it if you are a true blue arcade lover, although the missus might have a thing or two to say about that!) £4,000 Arcane Arcade Table sitting right smack in the middle of your living room? Yes sir, the Arcane Arcade Table is definitely one of the better and more elegant pieces of playable furniture our eyes have ever set on to date. Carrying more than 100 classic arcade games that we have come to know and love over the years, you can indulge in some Bubble Bobble in the mornings, spend your noon siesta time with Legend of Kage, or relax with a bit of Dungeon Crawl right before you call it a night. Not only that, the Arcane Arcade Table will be MAME compatible, meaning you can include a theoretically infinite amount of emulators to enjoy your favorite consoles and arcades.

The integrated dual-core processor inside is accompanied by a 500GB hard drive, relevant Ethernet ports, and a built-in LCD display, and it will surf the Internet just fine by itself, thank you very much. The included fold-out control station will boast of authentic joysticks, spinner, trackball and a brace of buttons that allows up to two players to play, so it evokes the good old arcade feeling in the comfort of your home, minus the dark and smoky environment. Each table will also boast a pair of 30 watt speakers built-in to each end of the table to make the whole arcade experience more real.

Doctor Who Tardis Smart Safe

There is no where safer to stash away some of your more private (and small) belongings in, wait for it – a safe. There should be enough space in most safes to keep a remnant of your most personal belongings, but with the £29.99 Doctor Who Tardis Smart Safe, the word “space” here is used with a dash of imagination. We are talking about breaking the very fabric of time and space, assuming the principles in the Doctor Who series are adhered to, meaning your precious items are stashed away in a complex, sentient machine that can travel through time as well as relative dimensions in space, now how about that?

Best of all is, you need not even be a true blue Time Lord, but rather, someone with 30 quid in your bank account. All you need to do is slot in a compatible smartphone into the Tardis Smart Safe, key in your very own PIN code, and it will unlock – boasting authentic opening sound and light effects to boot. This particular accessory is officially licensed by the BBC, and runs on a trio of AAA batteries. Only the iPhone or Android-powered handsets will play nice with it, Blackberry owners will have to find some corner and sulk.

Boombotix Bluetooth Street Speaker

Do you remember the singer Shaggy with his mega hit many years ago, Mr. Bombastic? Well, that certainly set off a trend in speak-nging (speaking/singing, you heard it here first!), and I guess that “better late than never” applies to the Boombotix Bluetooth Street Speaker. The Gunmetal Grey and Purplex Purple colors will retail for £49.99, while those who want something different can settle for the Camouflage and Carbon Fiber make up which will cost you 10 quid more, that is £59.99. So, what can the Boombotix Bluetooth Street Speaker deliver in terms of performance?

Touted to fuse urban style with quality audio, the Boombotix Street Speaker relies on Bluetooth connectivity to hook up to your media playback devices. You can clip it to your belt, slip it in a bag or hook it up to a bike, and voila – here you are, a veritable, walking library of tunes that you can share with the rest of the world. Of course, who are we to stop you from just leaving it perched on your desk? That’d be defeating the purpose of its existence though, as if you settle for the latter, you might as well purchase a more decent set of desktop speakers.

Offering up to 8 hours of non-stop audio playback, the battery requires approximately a full hour to recharge. It is also showerproof, and despite being wireless, an aux input is there just in case you have non-Bluetooth devices that want to share the music love.

Instagram Coasters

When Instagram first came out, no one would have thought that this particular app would be the bomb, so to speak. After all, was it anything groundbreaking? Well, the success of Instagram and a $1 billion buyout by Facebook a short while later, and nobody is laughing. This is serious business, and with the proliferation of smartphones as well as the ability to upload what you are looking at in an instant (with an artistic filter, of course), you can be sure that Instagram’s a modern day tech hit. You can choose from 4-pack and 8-pack Instagram coasters which retail for £14.99 and £21.99, respectively.

All you need to do is select your collection of favorite images, and place your order for 4, 8 or a set of 12 coasters. They will subsequently be printed out and sent over to your doorstep, just like that. Made from sturdy and water-resistant material while finished with a gloss varnish, you can be sure that the Instagram Coasters will offer a personal and artistic touch at home, while making for a decent conversation starter just in case the alcohol served fails to make tongues wag.
