Why are we so interested in looking at our faces? Does it make it think about what we used to look like, and compare it to the current version of ourselves? It could be personal growth, but oftentimes it’s a good way to validate yourself by posting tons of face photos online for social media sites to your followers to give you a confidence boost. Nothing wrong with that, but some people do get to be a bit excessive about it.

If you take the selfie game pretty seriously, then you’re likely in the market for a shutter remote control so you don’t have blurry photos. The HISY is one such item that will work with your iDevice without the use of an app. All it needs to do to connect is be paired via Bluetooth. This can go for almost two years (based on doing 100 shots a day!) without needing a battery replacement, so you won’t need to worry about having to charge one more device.

This would be perfect for creative selfies or group shots as it has a range of 30-90 feet. It will cost you around $25, which isn’t too bad for such an item. There is even a headphone jack attachment so you can keep it handy at all times rather than stuffing it in your bag and missing a perfect photo opportunity. If you also like to record videos, this will be able to start and stop the recording process.

We can listen to music in a variety of ways. It can be on our own device, where we cherry-pick what songs are on there with specific playlists, CDs or records which play only what’s on them, online music stations which are also determined by you, or the radio. The latter of these options has local and national news, commercials, special events, music picked by the host or callers, and the main use for most of us, is using this medium for information in times of emergency. Aside from having a radio in your car, most of us don’t really bother with getting something that specifically works as a radio.

There are apps you can download, but you will usually need some form of internet connection. This is where the Lightning FM Radio for iPhone and iPad might come in handy. It is an 8pin lightning compatible FM radio that plugs directly into your iDevice. It will draw power from your phone, and you can change the station by pressing a single button.

This is compatible with the iPhone 5, iPad Air, iPad 4, iPad mini, and the iPod Touch 5th Gen. It’s a neat idea for those who prefer to listen to the radio, though it is a bit costly at around $30. If this was going to be used in emergency situations, then it also doesn’t help that draws power from your phone, which could end up being a lifeline for you. It might be better to save up a bit more for a hand-crank or solar powered radio that is portable and has phone charging capabilities.

Have you heard of Fuse Chicken before? They happen to be the ones behind the insanely popular Une Bobine, and their latest creation would be the togoDock. The togoDock happens to be an ingenious magnetic dock for the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C as well as the iPhone 5, where it would arrive with embedded magnets that can be mounted to just about any surface without missing a beat. Not only that, the togoDock would also boast of an integrated charge cable that allows you to deliver power on-the-go, making it a whole lot more handy than you originally expected. .

Fawcett, CEO of Fuse Chicken, shared, “Our goal is to make everyday interaction with technology simple.Our newest device lets you mount and charge your iPhone anywhere – in the car as a GPS, in the kitchen to follow recipes, next to the bed as an alarm clock; togoDock is simple, cool and useful, and it fits right into your pocket.”

As the owner of a togoDock, you will be able to mount it in a couple of methods. The first of the two ways would be to place it straight onto a magnetic surface, while for all of the other surfaces that you want the togoDock to be mounted on, you can always make use of the pair of included self-adhesive disc mounts that will double up as a magnetic surface, allowing it to cling to togoDock’s embedded magnets. The togoDock also comes with a built-in backstop for extra stability and support, a MFI certified Lightning Connector for iPhone 5S/5C/5, a cable cord wrap outfitted with a standard USB for charging, and a car adapter which would come in handy for those who are constantly driving around.

Right now, the togoDock is part of an Indiegogo campaign, where the first 200 backers will be on the receiving end of a 3D-printed PLUGdock that will convert an Apple iPhone charging cord into an outlet-mounted dock. Reserving one on Indiegogo would cost you $30 a pop.
