Need a quick and easy way to inform everyone in your life that they may end up broadcast to your social media networks via your Instagram account? Look no further than this adorable phone case. Entirely handmade and handstitched out of f…

Summer for me means lots of travel, and therefore lots of headphone use--on planes, on beaches, on my couch when I've finally gotten the kids to bed (darn late sunsets). With my cats having gnawed through two (!!) sets of earbuds lately,…

So, we could have the discussion about whether The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein was your favorite story from your own childhood (like me) and taught you all about love and sharing and selflessness; or whether you see it as a misogynis…

I have become a die-hard devotee of mobile chargers, from portable battery packs and charging cases to other portable power sources . The one issue: I am a die-hard misplacer of the cables that often connect them. Don't ask. But aha! A b…

It used to seem a little frivolous to invest in things like mini tripods for your smart phone camera. But now that everyone is jumping into Instagram video and the Vine app , we can see why products like these are starting to fly off the…

If I ruled the world, our Bastille Day gift to all of you would be free tickets to Paris. (Cool Mom Tech community reunion, with smartphone photography walking tour, whoo!) Since that's not an option though, I found this cool case that c…

Obsessed with Pinterest as we are? Follow Cool Mom Tech for cool (or geeky-cool) finds like this every day. 1. We are all seriously coveting this cool iPad case found on Etsy. 2. Anyone who has family photos from the pre-digital film day…

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…

Whether you're into supple leather or slicks wraps, you'll find a lot to covet from this vibrant and unusual collection of gadget covers. We're talking smartphones, iPads, e-readers...and I know, because I've been trying to decide which …

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…

My whole pre-kids life is documented on 35mm film prints and backed up on photo negatives, which is pretty hard to believe now that we're so firmly ensconced in an era of digital smartphone pictures. I get motivated to transfer all those…

This week, we became tastemakers on an awesome new site called Luvocracy --basically it's like Pinterest, only you can shop directly through the curated recommendations we make on site and get the guaranteed best price on any item. We ev…

Every so often I go ahead and swap out the photo on my desktop for some soothing, cool illustrated desktop pattern. Often because I have so much crap on my desktop I stop being able to find it. I mean...because I have awesome style and w…

Nature and technology go together like toast and butter, especially when the combination yields beautiful covers for your smart phone, iPad, or Macbook Pro. But trust us: this Toast is anything but plain. Toast, Inc. is a Portland, Orego…

We've been seeing MacBook decals and stickers for a while--you know, the Snow White holding the Apple (logo) and so on. But we just found these stickers just for your iPhone. And wow, are they fun. The smartphone stickers by the Sticker …

I've heard of knock-off designer phone cases and tech accessories before, but never anything quite like this. The Chanel Nail Polish iPhone cases is guaranteed to bring smiles and raise eyebrows--should fashionistas still be able to do s…

To say that my kids like looking at pictures and videos on my smartphone is an understatement. But when they are doing it together, there's the inevitable vying for space and arguing over who gets to hold the phone. That's why I need thi…

Remember when "chatting" involved a receiver comfortably nestled between your chin and shoulder while you paced the kitchen, tethered by a springy coil that was fun to wrap around your finger? If not, congratulations on not having eye wr…

When Apple made its big iPhone 5 announcement last September, everyone went huh? wha? with the new Lightning cord connectors. For the households that straddled between different models and accessories, that meant getting a whole new set …

With summer officially here, and hints of warm weather (at least for some of you, sheesh), I'm already preparing for a fun-filled couple months of sand and surf. My trusted companion, aka my phone, is not a fan of these elements though, …

With Father's Day coming up June 16, we're already looking for some of the coolest tech gifts for dad. Since I've always had a heart for handmade, I'm loving the idea of bringing both sensibilities together with these great-looking leath…

As much as touch controls for games are pretty easy to use these days, there still isn't a full substitute for the actual joystick. Or so says the little video gaming experts at my house. That's why the GameKlip is a gamer's dream come t…
