Hasta La Gadget!

This human skull leather purse is perfect for goth chicks, anyone in the Addams family and of course women immortals in the Highlander universe. There can be only one! Are you the girlfriend of Connor or Duncan McCloud? After your swordfight and the quickening that follows, just put your trophy head in this thing and return home. No one will question what’s inside.


This hand-formed leather skull clutch bag purse from Griffin Leather has been formed and tempered to keep its shape. It also has fiberglass/resin reinforcement where needed. Plus, it’s been dyed ox blood, of course. How can you pass this one up? Well, sadly it is already sold, but I’m sure that if you asked nicely, they would make one for you.

Although the Portal gun is quite hard to replicate, it’s balanced out by the fact that Chell’s costume is an ordinary jumpsuit. Thanks to NECA, now you don’t even need to make your own jumpsuit. Scientists have already noted that the jumpsuit will look stupid on you, but they should also note that you don’t care.

NECA released the jumpsuit along with a variety of Portal 2 gear, which included a pair of socks that look like Chell’s long-fall boots, Atlas’ Portal gun and a stand for the gun. That’s how you know you have a hot product, when you can sell the stand separately. Be grateful there’s no official Portal 2 hanger for the jumpsuit.

I spotted the jumpsuit at ThinkGeek, but the store is already out of stock and won’t have more until October. Fortunately Big Bad Toy Store still has some as of this writing and for the same price of $100 (USD). You’ll also have to pre-order it from BBTS but at least you’ll get the jumpsuit by August.

Ever wanted to match your iPhone’s case with your wardrobe? I actually know a lot of people who do this, and this case takes the possible customization a bit further. At the end, it will match your clothes, but you most probably will have to sacrifice some of your old clothes to make it happen.

The Case Cord was created by the Korean designer Lee Ji Hoon and it uses spare fabric from your apparel as the backplate. You’ll need to cut out a portion of your clothes with the supplied template, then fit it into the designated casing. Having played around with old denim, I can imagine that might look cool.

For now, the case is just a concept/prototype, but I’m sure that there will be enough interest for this to be made into a real product at some point.

After Pebble’s resounding success, it was only a matter of time before more inventors would try and get smartwatches made through Kickstarter’s crowdfunding. The Syre is a watch band for your iPod Nano, with the distinct advantage of having Bluetooth neatly integrated.

The Syre smartwatch was developed by Anyé Spivey, in collaboration with ID-3D and Indesign. It’s made out of flexible silicone polymer, and the case integrates Bluetooth capability, which means that it will be compatible with wireless headphones and smartphones. It’s designed to fit the latest iPod Nano, which slides into the face of the strap.

It’s going to be available in six colors, depending on a vote by the project’s backers. To get your own, you’ll need to pledge $50 (USD). At the time of writing, the Kickstarter project had amassed more than $100,000 out its original goal of $75,000. It’s already fully funded and there are 21 days left to pledge. It’s expected to ship in November 2012.

Fleece is a great material for all sorts of cases and bags. This striped fleece laptop case is definitely good looking, and it will keep your laptop safe from bumps and grinds.

The Striped Fleece Laptop case is made out of durable, soft charcoal gray and white fleece. It has a soft, cushioned interior, so that your laptop will remain safe in from minor scrapes and dings.

It perfectly matches the Poketo Striped Fleece backpack, which looks even cooler and more comfy. The backpacks are made out of sweatshirt fleece, which is even softer to the touch.

The Striped Fleece Laptop case sells for $32(USD) and the Striped Fleece backpack sells for $58. The laptop cases are available for laptops with 13″ or 15″ screens. The backpack can fit a 15″ laptop. Unfortunately, 17″ MacBook Pro users like me are screwed.
