Finest Nappa Leather Book Style Case/Cover For New 2010 Amazon Kindle 3 + CAR CHARGER

If you remember - the spouse bought a kindle for his Christmas present - and he loved it.  But he wants to be able to carry it with him - when he eats out once a week - in the restaurant while waiting for is food.  For now - he isn’t carrying it out - because he doesn’t have a cover for it - so like any good wife - the man behind every successful man - i found one for him on Amazon of course.  He doesn’t need nothing fancy - but I want something that is made of genuine leather and I want it to have more padding too - this cover from Duragadget seems to be able to do the job and it’s cheap too.  You don’t need to remove your kindle to use all the buttons and connectors  - comes with a car charger at only $24.99 - hopefully - the shipping isn’t going to cost a bomb  - that’s why I like to order directly from Amazon.ca.

Gadget Shopping

While I wished I could just hop onto a plane and head for Japan to get the latest gadget that I want or can afford - it wouldn’t be really feasible would it?  so I do the next best thing and shop for my gadgets at  buy.com.  These days I resort to shopping a lot online - not only because it is convenient but I know that I can safe lots of time.  I even bought my leather handbags online and custom made.   Some people say they need to see the thing physically - as for me - I already know what I am getting - a PS3 will always be a PS3 right?  or and iPod Touch - would still be an iPod Touch - so really it makes very little difference for me… what about you?

Laptop Cooler

Actually it’s a cooling pad - i’ve been asked so many times about it at our store - at first i didn’t know that it existed - until the spouse corrected me - when a customer asked me.  I had thought that the only thing to do is to blow the dust outta the fan in your lappie and that would keep the laptop/notebook cool again.  But i was wrong - hahah!! so silly of me eh.

Anyhow, like all smart chick - i too don’t want to pay too much for a laptop cooling pad, so when i saw one at Amazon.com - i had to tell my customers they can get one there for just $17.88 - A Belkin F5L001 -Cooling Stand prevents your laptop against overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan. This stand has low power consumption with the USB port on your laptop without power cumbersome. Because the laptops today are based on fast processors to do the work, they create a lot of heat, with much of that land directly on your lap. Some laptops may have a “normal temperature” as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit have, that’s not only dangerous and uncomfortable, it can also take you from your laptop, because it can block unexpectedly decline, and overall life expectancy.

Leaf Tie

I’m a little OCD - haha! but of course - the spouse would disagree and tell you that I’m a lot OCD  - so i’m always looking out for things to keep my stuff neat and tidy and nice looking all around the house.  But I am guessing all women are like myself - we like pretty and nice things.  So when i saw this leaf tie for $9 at GSelect - I just have to buy it.  The Leaf tie is easy to use. It is simply used in the same manner as the cable-tie. All you have to do is wrap the Leaf Tie around the loose cables and enjoy the hint of nature.

Notebook Cooler

As you all know we own a computer store, so when at first a customer asked me about a year ago for notebook cooler - i had told him that we didn’t have any nor had i heard of any.  He definitely looked like he had  joint pain when i said that - i mean for sure he must have had done his research and the spouse corrected me immediately.   Now that I am using the notebook permanently - i too know that i need a notebook cooler now.   As the notebook gets older and even after blowing dust out - it still doesn’t want to cool down - then you know you need one.  A notebook cooler cost like $35 - and this is a Thermaltake brand with a 23cm fan in it.  It is supposed to be quiet - and improves the overall heat dissipation.   It is very light weight.. and supports from 10 - 17″ notebook.   So if your notebook is overheating - get a notebook cooler quickly before it fries anything up.

Blackberry Cover

We deal a lot with used items at our store - oh - for those who don’t know this we own our own business and even though it’s not like selling  Amazon books - we sell all sorts of used game, consoles and electronics.   Stuff like a used iPod or even a used blackberry do come our way.  But like all used items - some ppl just don’t take care of their things.

But it’s easy these days to camouflage any flaws in your iPod and even a Acer One Netbook because with skin kits as cheap as $10 and easy to apply - you don’t have to buy new gadgets anymore - just use these new covers and there you have a totally new image for your gadget.  Good trick to learn especially if you have kids that needs their toys. Each design is digitally printed in vibrant, art-quality resolutions onto cast vinyl.

iPad Clutch

If you are thinking of getting and iPad when it is launch like I am for the spouse, you should get this iPad clutch too.  It is a cover or a carrier for the iPad.  I was actually looking for best joint supplements when i came across this on Apartment Therapy.  There was no price tag for it at this time but I will be looking out for it that’s for sure.  How not to have a protective cover for the iPad when it will cost me close to at least $500.

Save Your Gadgets

So you dropped your gadgets - your iPod, your phone or even your PSP into a bucket of water or a drain or left it inside your pocket and it went into the washing machine or when you were in a hurry to go for an interview for a new  employment.  Before you panic and freak out .. and wanna throw your gadget away - and get a replacement - try this.

Quickly remove all parts and wipe it down with a static cloth and then with a bowl of rice leave it overnight and hope it soaks up all the wetness.  Leave your gadgets or device for another few days.. and pray for the best results - never try - never know right?
