| Yellow Jacket iPhone Case – Protects your Phone, AND You! Posted: 09 Jul 2012 08:35 AM PDT
We have done a lot of posts about iPhone cases that look good and keep your phones safe. We’ve told you about some cases that give your phone a little extra battery power when needed, and we have also covered quite a few apps that help you thwart an attack in an attempt to keep you safe , But now we have a case that does it all… Meet the Yellow Jacket, touted as the worlds first smartphone defense case, this nifty, iPhone case packs a whopping 650K volt stun gun, AND an external battery that can give you about 20 hours of additional standby battery time. Designed with safety in mind, this seemingly simple case delivers an incapacitating jolt and inflicts a would-be attacker with some serious pain, giving you the seconds you need to get away and then leaves you with enough battery life to call the cops. The Yellow Jacket features a safety switch and special cap that prevents you from accidentally shocking yourself while you’re trying to call your mom about her doctors appointment, and in less than a second, you can be ready to press the activation button and confront an assailant. I imagine if you found yourself in an uncomfortable situation, like in a late night empty parking garage, you could easily just have your Yellow Jacket ready to go. Made for the iPhone 4 and 4S, the case is charged using the same cable as your iPhone, and you can even charge your phone without removing the device. The Yellow Jacket comes in black, white, pink and limited edition gold and is available for pre-order at yellowjacketcase.com for around 100 bucks. I know what you’re wondering, if I zap someone with my phone, will it drop my call? Sources tell me no…. so go ahead, make my day. (not available in all areas)

| Lampbrella not only lights up the street, but it keeps you dry, too Posted: 09 Jul 2012 08:30 AM PDT
Or is it a lamp that doubles up as an umbrella? I think you get the picture, no? Basically, the Lampbrella is a lamp post that has its own rain-sensing umbrella built-in, where this concept will see a standard issue street lamp which has been fitted with an umbrella canopy in addition to an integrated electric motor which will open up or close the umbrella on demand. As mentioned earlier, there are integrated sensors, where these will make sure that the umbrella will be deployed so that pedestrians can enjoy some much needed shelter whenever it starts to rain. Apart from the rain sensor, there is also a 360 degree motion sensor located on the fiberglass street lamp which is perfect to detect anyone who uses the Lampbrella in order to escape from the rain. When no movement is detected for three minutes, the canopy will then go about closing itself. It would be cooler that the Lampbrella is powered entirely by solar energy, but I guess there is always room for improvement, right? Mikhail claimed that he was inspired to design the Lampbrella after he saw ordinary folks get wet on streets in Russia when the heavens opened up. Mikhail mentioned, “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street – Nevsky Prospect – and saw the street lamps illuminating people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a streetlamp.” This is still a concept, and there are no plans by any parties to send this into production. Any angel investors out there who are willing to take the risk? [ Lampbrella not only lights up the street, but it keeps you dry, too copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

Not all the packs are the same, since they are selected randomly – with different characters being made available in four different sets. As for the deluxe zombie figure, it will unlock a unique storyline and missions. You, on the side of the zombies, will get around setting traps, fending off angry humans, and even eat garbage, I am not quite sure why they have swore off brains though.

| iTikes offers a new way for your kids to learn and play Posted: 09 Jul 2012 07:36 AM PDT
Having said that, modern day parents are also way more accommodating, but sometimes, it can be said that they are spoilt for choice as there are just too many items to choose from in the market. How about us making life a little bit easier on your side by recommending the iTikes? A more detailed explanation on what iTikes is all about can be found in the extended post. Toy company Little Tikes have come up with a plethora of iPhone-friendly toys which are able to hook up to your iOS-powered device. The iTikes range of toys will come with a keyboard, map, microscope and an art canvas, where all of them can function as stand-alone toys by their own right. However, when you decide to throw in an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch while running a free iTikes app, your little one (and perhaps, you too) might just find it irresistible to play – while the toys themselves also gain extra functionality. Take for example, the iTikes Keyboard, when it works without an iOS device, is just a standard issue keyboard for little ones, making noise while playing along to built-in songs and record musical masterpieces. When it “teams up” with an iOS device, you can then fire up learning games which teach little musicians the ability to read notes, hear pitch, sight read music or watch visualizations. If you are one who actually plans extremely far ahead of time, then you will be pleased to know that the iTikes range will go on sale in time for Christmas, where the map will cost £60, while the microscope will be going for £75 a pop. As for the art canvas, it is cheaper at £40 with the keyboard retails for £50. Each toy will also be accompanied by a matching white and lime green plastic case.

| Travel Scale for frequent travelers Posted: 09 Jul 2012 06:10 AM PDT
We are looking at a measurement of just 9.5″ wide, and yet is capable of weighing folks of up to 330 lbs., imagine that! I guess a handful of lithe professional wrestlers can do a pirouette on this without breaking it, don’t you think so? Smaller than your iPad, the Travel Scale will rely on high precision strain gauge sensors in order to deliver accurate weight readings to 0.1 lb. Not only that, the tempered glass platform also delivers alevel of durability which enables it to withstand all sorts of travel rigors. Powered by a quartet of AAA batteries, the Travel Scale also boasts of an easy-to-read LCD display. [ Travel Scale for frequent travelers copyright by Coolest Gadgets ]

London is very wet at the moment – and someone even mentioned in her Facebook status that someone forgot to place an order for summer this year. Well, it is definitely one of the wetter places on earth, and it would be wise to carry an umbrella with you wherever you go, never mind that it is summer. Since you are unable to predict a downpour, it is always better to be prepared. Designer Mikhail Belyaev has other plans though, coming up with what he calls the Lampbrella. As the name suggests, you can more or less figure out that this is an umbrella that doubles up as a lamp. 
So, your primary mobile gaming device is the iPad, leading you to ask just what are the latest games that are available for this extraordinary tablet? Well, most iPad titles concentrate only on touchscreen action, but with the 
All work and no play makes Jack (and Jill) a dull boy (girl applies here if you are talking about a girl, of course), so what kind of educational tools do modern kids get to enjoy? When I was a wee lad, I still remember how expensive a notebook was, and it only came with a CGA display, where the only kind of games that I played was Gorilla Basic and Nibbles. Fast forward to today, and you get plenty of kids who scream and kick up a fuss if either one of their parental unit fails to give them their iPad within minutes of their request. 
When one goes traveling, most of the time we stay at a hotel – and most modern hotels come with its range of amenities, including lush toiletries as well as a bathroom scale for you to figure out whether all those buffet breakfasts and dinners that you had have done a number on your belly. Of course, there are moments and places where you stay that does not come with any form of luxury at all, which is where a portable travel scale makes perfect sense.
