Let’s all go Nuud! The LifeProof Nuud Case for iPad mini
I went to Uganda last year, and I nearly lost my iPhone in the Kazinga Channel. I was paying too much attention to a hippo. My stomach still does a flip when I think about it, but I learned an important lesson: Extreme conditions call for extreme protection,...
The case that makes an e-book feel like a real book. Finally!
I love my e-books, thanks to their portability, affordability, and my habit of buying the next book of the series at 3 a.m., when all real bookstores are closed and I just have to find out what happens next. But I miss the solid feel of a book in my hands. Good news!...

The cat ate my iPad
While we’re not big on recommending that you should run out and get a shiny new iPad for your toddler, there are plenty of kids’ tablets that make sense and even opportunities to pass on hand-me-down tablets when you upgrade your own. In which case you...
Handcrafted iPad and smartphone sleeves that can hold their own in any board room
Last year we discovered the fabulous handmade iPad and laptop sleeves from Mujjo, a neat little Dutch company, and I have to say, I’ve had them on the brain every since. Something about the combo of natural wool felt and leather is just so visually rich. So...
Stylish laptop cases for less: Whoo, Knomo goes on sale!

Gorgeous new tech cases that you don’t have to be a mama to love
Considering that moms have taken over the consumer tech world (it’s true, we have), it’s not surprising that now the popular parent and baby brands have jumped into the fray with tech accessories. They don’t all do it well–but one mom-favorite...
