It may lack a fingerprint reader like the Biocase, but the Heys Impervious Suitcase is the lightest on the market and can hold up to a 15.4-inch laptop, potentially protecting it from up to 250lb of ‘woops I didn’t know it was there’.  The outside of the case is made from ABS/polycarbonate, the same stuff found in bulletproof glass and flexes to absorb the impact.  At 3lbs and $100 it ain’t exactly the most palatable of laptop totes, but that added protection might be worth all that extra work.

When ever I work remotely (aka Coffee Bean) I carry my laptop in a Booq sleeve.  While I can wax poetic about this sweet hard case, one thing it’s lacking is a design built for working directly from the case without removing it.

Enter the Viper rush.  Available in a M (15-inch) and L (17-inch) sizes, the Viper rush zips open 120 degree and features special bumpers to dissipate heat, a neoprene non-scratch pocket and what should prove to be a tear free seat belt style shoulder strap.  The only thing I don’t like about this case is the price tag: $129.95. …Continue reading: Booq Viper rush Notebook Case

The dreams of Telsa have yet to be fully realized, but that hasn’t stopped a many of a company from releasing products that lay claim to ‘wireless or wire-free charging’.  But alas, until that day is upon us we’ll have to settle with a variation there of, such as the WildCharger’s Pad and Skins.

The concept is straightforward: you wrap your mobile device in a rubber skin that contains 5 over sized pin head like contact points on its back.  When the device is laid upon the WildCharge Pad, which is plugged into an AC outlet, its contact points form a connection and suck down electricity. I use an iPhone, so the Skin contains a dock connector to transfer energy to the phone’s battery. …Continue reading: WildCharge Pad & iPhone Skin Review

Slap an iPhone or any standard GPS device onto a motorbike and you’ll eventually encounter a down pour of rain that will fry your precious electronic. Enter the Moto Kit.  It’s available in a variety of packages, but the most expensive one gets you a waterproof case that can be attached to the bike’s handle bars or wrist, a Bluetooth headset and a backup battery that will extend run time by as much as 10 hours.

It’s been about 10 months since any word from the company, but Powermat’s wireless charging solution has finally gone live.

The design of the ‘receivers’ (the cases for your products that make the wireless charging possible) look largely unchanged from CES, but then again it’s a bit hard to tell looking at a website product page.  Hopefully we can score one in the next week and bust out a review.

Expect to drop about $40 for the receivers and $100 for the mats.

The Nerve on the other hand is a messenger bag with room for a laptop with the included sleeve.  It’s $149.95.

Last, and actually kind of least is the Squeeze, which is more bare bones than the other two and has room for a laptop and some other gear. It’s $99.95
