3-D Customizable iPhone Case

In the run up to the International Consumer Electronics Show CG wants to keep you informed of the hot products. The Best of Innovations winner in the Software & Mobile Apps category proves to change how we think about our iPhone case. Admit it, the phone is an extension of us. As you are unique and individual, your case should be too!

Sculpteo, a France-based company, took this need for individuality and the process of making a cool case and combined them to come up with 3DPCase – short for 3D Printed Case. Their website and app enable iPhone 3G, 4, 4S and 5 users choose and customize their own case. For example, their Shadow Profile case lets you upload two profile pictures, say you and your significant other, which get cut into the case. Or maybe you just want an image engraved on your case. No problem. There are plenty of pre-designed cases too. You simply select the image, colors and optional text. And don't forget, as the name says the cases are 3D. You will feel the texture of your creation everytime you use the phone. So do they work? Of course. Units are all made of polyamide like many off-the-shelf cases. No worries. It keeps your phone protected. Cases start at €29.90 (about $39.50) plus shipping. Production typically takes 2-3 days. If you really want that iPhone extension of you to stand out and express your personality customize it yourself with 3DPCase.

Light Your Stroller's Way

For anyone who has taken a stroller out at night you will attest to the challenges. First of all get baby or child in and bundled up. Then play defense as you walk and attempt to determine if drivers or pedestrians can see you coming. Alerting others to your location certainly helps avoid disasters.

Jacootie Light wants to light your way when you take the little ones for a stroll. These headlight-like gadgets easily attach just about anywhere on your stroller. A quick release bracket means you can move them or take them when on-the-go. Each Jacootie Light contains 5 white LED bulbs. With 3 AAA batteries (not included) expect 100,000 hours of life. And the lights are water resistant – so no, you lose your excuse of walking in the rain or snow. With this luminance you will easily be noticed by anyone nearby. Adding a Jacootie Light essentially gives you the difference of driving with and without headlights in your car. In that respect it seems silly not to have them on any stroller. Get your Jacootie Light on their website for just $10.95 for one or $15.95 for two, plus $5 shipping. If you are parent in the stroller years I would highly recommend lighting your way. And if you know someone who is or soon will be in the stroller phase Jacootie Light makes a perfect, and thoughtful, gift.

Definitive Technology announces Sound Cylinder portable Bluetooth speaker system

Definitive Technology intends to make a splash at CES 2013 which is set to happen just next week at Las Vegas, Nevada, by making an announcement of their Sound Cylinder portable Bluetooth speaker system. This is the first Bluetooth speaker system from them, where it has been said to deliver high performance audio to devices such as tablets as well as other portable Bluetooth enabled devices connected to it. I guess this does have its place in the market, considering how devices such as tablets do not pack the relevant amount of aural punch where its speakers are concerned.

You need not worry about your tablet losing its balance and falling face forward, scratching its precious display along the way, as the Sound Cylinder comes with an innovative clip system that ensures it will securely attach the speaker to majority of the tablets out there in the market, in addition to numerous laptops.

There is more than meets the eye where the Sound Cylinder is concerned, as it also doubles up as a table stand for an attached tablet. Thanks to an integrated pivoting “kickstand”, it is capable of securely holding the device at an ideal angle when it comes to viewing and listening. Since it carries Bluetooth functionality, it will be able to connect wirelessly to Bluetooth enabled devices, or you can always take the wired route via an audio cable to any device that has an analog audio output jack.

Thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery, the Sound Cylinder is said to deliver up to 10 hours of high quality listening. With a built-in side-firing subwoofer in addition to stereo speakers, listeners are able to enjoy rich, full-bodied stereo sound regardless of where they are, and Surround Array image enhancement processing creates a life-like soundstage which extends beyond the compact dimensions of the cylinder. The asking price for the Sound Cylinder would be $199 a pop. Any takers?

LG has new IPS displays in store for CES 2013

You know that CES 2013 is going to be a blast when different consumer electronics companies come together and hope to wow the world with what they are able to offer. LG of South Korea is definitely one of them, and you can expect them to have a blast at CES this year (which is just happening next week, can you believe it!), where they will parade, among many other consumer electronics goodies, their stunning UltraWide, ColorPrime and Touch 10 monitors that feature specialized functionality and stellar IPS technology.

Yes sir, LG's latest collection of spanking new IPS monitors will debut at CES 2013, where this high caliber range will include innovative concepts that help cater to the needs of the specialist as well as the everyday, casual user.

As for the Touch 10 Monitor, this is a Windows 8 optimized device that delivers 10-finger Touch Control, all 23-inches of it. This would translate to a quicker and more natural typing experience whenever you make use of the Windows 8 on-screen keyboard, and smartphone users ought to take to it like a duck to water. With so many displays to choose from, we’re spoiled for choice for 2013 when it comes to monitors.

Heat Therapy Neck Massager

Hmmm, earlier this morning, we took a look at a device that offers your whole body pinpoint massage as well as infra-heat relief, but this time around, here is a device which specifically targets your neck and neck alone. Yes sir, we are referring to the $149.95 Heat Therapy Neck Massager, where you wear it behind your neck just as though it is a shirt collar cradling the back of your neck. The collar massager claims to be able to help relieve neck tension using low-frequency electric pulses and heat. When used in the hands of professional therapists, it is ideal to help relieve muscle pain and strain which is commonly obtained from driving, flying, or office work.

The massager itself slips around the neck in a comfortable manner, where it delivers half a dozen combinations of varying vibration intensities and heat, and all of these can be controlled from the included infrared remote. There will also be six vibration modes that help simulate the gentle kneading of a Swedish neck massage, as well as deliver the invigorating pressing and rolling of a deep tissue massage. As for the pair of elements that are integrated right into the collar, those deliver three levels of far-infrared heat which can penetrate neck muscles for optimal relaxation. You will be able to choose from sessions in 5-minute increments up to 30 minutes, and a full battery charge offers up to 30 minutes of pure bliss.

Heated Massage Magnetic Cushion

Getting a massage at the end of a long and hard day at work to relieve your body of all its aches and pains is definitely one of the more enjoyable things in life, and while you cannot have a masseur come over to your home at your beck and call all the time (not to mention that doing so would wreak havoc on your monthly finances), why not rely on technology to help you get the job done? This is where the $69.95 Heated Massage Magnetic Cushion comes in handy, where it delivers infra-heat and pinpoint massage relief.

To put it simply, the Heated Massage Magnetic Cushion is a massage cushion that is capable of targeting specific areas for relief while stimulating circulation. Sporting Bio-Magnets, this unique cushion is capable of conforming itself to the body's natural position, in order to better target specific areas of the body. There will be five massaging motors as well as a couple of infrared heat lights that will work in tandem in order to pinpoint the spots that are most prone to back tension, while energizing tissues and loosening tense upper shoulder muscles. That is not all, however, as there are other specific points contacted including the upper thigh and leg muscles, and the neck muscles.

Keep Those Shoes On and Look Good

Go take a look in your closet. I'll bet there are a few pairs of lace up shoes that still have the laces tied. When we buy a new pair of sneakers we always have the best intentions of fully untying and re-tying them. But somewhere along the way, usually when rushing around we end up just kicking them off and slipping them back on without tying.

Brookstone wants to help encourage tie-free shoe use with HICKIES elastic lacing system. Opposing eyelets on a shoe are connected with these stretchy devices. Connect as far as you choose, slip your foot in and HICKIES elastic properties allow your foot to comfortably move while the shoe goes with it even during high impact activities. They literally turn any lace up shoe into a slip on. What makes them unique, however, is the array of colors so you can select one that meets your color coordinating needs. Match to your shoes or go crazy and clash. Your choice.  The ‘stretchiness’ also means one size fits all. For $19.99, a pack includes 14 HICKIES in 1 of 16 color combinations plus 2 extra HICKIES in a surprise color – plenty to set up an average pair of shoes. Unsure how it will look? Download their app and snap a photo of a virtual pair on your current shoes or get instruction on how to put them on.  So go ahead and keep the laziness up, but look stylish and keep the feet in the shoes with HICKIES.

Great Looks, Great Sound

When you hear "Bang & Olufsen" what comes to mind? I am willing to bet "stylish", "high-performance", maybe "pricey." B&O has been making some of the most reliable high-end a/v products for just under 90 years. Never one to get caught behind the times, they launched their B&O PLAY line as stand-alone products designed to fit into our more mobile a/v world.

The newest addition to the line proves to make the B&O family proud. The BeoPlay A9 offers quality sound and sophisticated design. Built for wireless or wired connectivity use wi-fi or Ethernet and Apple Airplay or DLNA or go old school and use the mini jack or phono connector. Since control happens on your music device there presents no need for buttons and bells. Simply wave your hand over the top sensor to control volume.  A9 design is obviously key to its appeal. Let it stand on its 3 screw-in legs or mount is on the wall. And though it comes in white, optional covers in 5 colors help it fit your décor. Performance wise, do not fret. The bass reflex design paired with the woofer, mids and tweeters will fill your life with soothing sounds. Looks and performance together have won the A9 some prestigious honors too: 2013 iF product design and CES Innovations Awards. If this look fits your life then treat yourself. The A9 is available for £1699 or $2,699 so save your pounds, dollars or what not. But for those with the right environment the A9 seems a perfect solution.

Samsung introduces new premium monitors

Samsung is a confirmed powerhouse in the world of consumer electronics, and they have certainly come a long way from the early days, where legend has it that their mobile phones (yes, those days with monochrome displays on phones) were said to have been made from recycled plastic, hence lacking the kind of solid quality or feel that Nokias carried. Well, one would feel proud to own Samsung products at home now, and this could be where you look towards purchasing a new monitor (or two) after seeing what Samsung has in store for the coming CES in Las Vegas, Nevada. Basically, there will be the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor and the Series 7 SC750 Touch Monitor on display (among others, of course, but we will just take a look at these two today).

First of all, let us take a closer look at the innovative Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor which will arrive fresh out of the box optimized for Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system. In fact, Samsung's Series 7 Touch (SC770) holds the honor of being Samsung's first multi-touch display that has been specially optimized for Microsoft's latest operating system version, where it will deliver support for up to 10 points of simultaneous multi-touch, allowing users to drag, rotate or select objects viewed on the monitor using nothing but their fingers alone. Definitely not the kind of monitor that you would want to use right after you have eaten a greasy pizza (or a bag of chips) with your fingers, no? The SC770 will be equipped with a flexible, ergonomic stand that can conveniently adjust itself to your preferences, as it delivers a 60-degree tilt for comfortable use of the touch display.

As for the Samsung Series 7 (SC750) monitor, it will come in a slim, ergonomic design which is more than capable of a 90-degree pivot to deliver an enhanced convenience to users. It has also been optimized for surfing the web, and it does not matter if you want to view the documents in either landscape and portrait modes, it works equally well. Thanks to its sleek stand, it is capable of precisely positioning the screen at a comfortable eye-level without having to have a support fixture, while boasting a cylinder-shaped metal stand that accentuates the beauty of the slim monitor.

No idea on pricing, but both the Series 7 SC750 monitor and the Series 7 SC770 Touch Monitor will arrive worldwide before Q2 2013.

CES 2013 is the platform where LG will state their intention in the TV arena, where that is when they unveil their new range of Cinema 3D Smart TVs. It is said that the 2013 range will deliver easier content access alongside sharing capability, and when coupled with an updated Magic Remote, one ought to be able to experience a simplified, intuitive user experience.

I guess there is no excuse now not to hook up something to your TV, no?

In order to make use of Tag On, all you need to do is hold a smartphone or other NFC-enabled device against the NFC sticker on a Cinema 3D Smart TV, and voila! Magic happens, or so that is what people from two centuries ago would think.

Not only that, the 2013 range will also support LG Cloud, where LG Cloud enables folks to remotely stream high-quality content from just about anywhere they are at that point in time.

The Voice Clarifying TV Speaker

Don't you just hate it when TV shows break for commercials, and the volume suddenly increases exponentially? This is something that TV manufacturers have addressed in the past, where select models are able to automatically regulate the volume level so that you don't jump out from your skin. The thing is, if you do not have such a TV, you are stuck with changing the volume frequently, and sometimes, speech of characters in the TV show do not exactly come with the clearest articulation. I guess this is where the $199.95 Voice Clarifying TV Speaker comes in handy, where this wireless speaker is said to enhance your TV viewing experience as it boosts the sound of dialog.

This is made possible to an advanced microchip within which amplifies human speech frequencies, bringing them above background noise in order to make spoken words clear and audible. It will be different from lesser analog models which merely make all sounds louder, as this superior digital speaker is able to amplify voice pitch above other sounds, making sure that every spoken word remains easier to discern than usual. There is an infrared transmitter that is attached to the TV’s audio ports where it will send its signal to the speaker, that comes with a 360° receiving dome for signal reception regardless of how you position it in the room.

The speaker itself will be accompanied by its own volume control, and there is also a headphone jack just in case you want to get some private listening in thanks to the included earbuds.

In fact, it is too much trouble in this day and age where everyone is always in a hurry, which is why the $26.99 iBlink Blinking Eyes does seem to be the ideal gadget to purchase to kick off the new year with.

Basically, the iBlink Blinking Eyes are able to transform any object at home or office into a lovable character, thanks to the iBlink Blinking Eyes.
