Summer Oxford Shirt Has a Hidden Cleaning Cloth on the Inside

Smudged screens are one of my biggest pet peeves. Unfortunately, they’re virtually unavoidable when you have a smartphone because every tap or swipe on the screen will put greasy fingerprints on it.

For that reason, I carry a microfabric cloth with me wherever I go. If you can’t be bothered to do that, then you might want to consider switching out your regular shirts for these Summer Oxford button-downs. (Sorry girls, guys only!)

Summer Oxford Cleaning Cloth Shirt

Aside from giving you a stylish and dapper look, the shirts have a not-so-dirty little secret microsuede patch on the inside that can be used to wipe away smudges on your smartphone’s screen. Heck, you can even use it to wipe down your tablet, if those darned smudges are bugging you that much.

Aside from the hidden microsuede patch, the shirt also has a pocket lined with bright fabric that you can inverted so it’ll look like a spiffy pocket square. Neat-o.

The shirts are made by VoyVoy Clothing and sell for $98(USD) each.

Clipless Secures Your Phone on Almost Any Surface

Smartphones are definitely smart and come with a lot of neat features, but sometimes I just wish it were smarter on the physical attachment category. Some apps are great to use when driving, cooking, or exercising, but there are few stands and clip-on accessories that’ll help you keep your phone in place.

Then along came Clipless.

Clipless

Staying true to its name, Clipless lets you secure your device on a wide range of surfaces, including fabrics, without the need for a clip. You’re supposed to stick the connector on your phone, and the Clipless or NFC mount for fabric and other surfaces (like plastic, metal, wood, tile, or glass) respectively. When using the NFC-enabled mount, compatible devices can even be set to automatically launch specific apps when placed on different mount locations.

Clipless1

Clipless is up for funding on Kickstarter through July 6th. They’ve already surpassed their $25,000 goal, but you can still make a pledge of at least $35 to get your very own Clipless.
