			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wanted to go minimal when going out? I tend to leave my wallet in my backpack most of the time, and while it&#8217;s really convenient, I do also need to have cash in my pockets, which is why the <a href="http://connectdesign.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=289">Feed Me case</a> is cool.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91113" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/feed-me-iphone-case-credit-cards.jpg" alt="feed me iphone case credit cards" width="600" height="551" title="feed me iphone case credit cards photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-91111"></span>The Feed Me iPhone 4/4S is pretty nifty, since it allows you to stash anything from loose earbuds to money inside a little pocket that&#8217;s made to look like a mouth. It&#8217;s kind of funny looking actually, and you won&#8217;t spend too much money on it. The only thing that you should be careful is about stashing things like loose change. It&#8217;s possible that it would scratch up your iPhone.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91114" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/feed-me-iphone-case-money.jpg" alt="feed me iphone case money" width="600" height="390" title="feed me iphone case money photo" /></p>
<p>The case even comes with several eyeball stickers you can place in the bottom indentation to give it different expressions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-91133" title="feed_me_eyeballs" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/feed_me_eyeballs.jpg" alt="feed me eyeballs" width="600" height="422" /></p>
<p>The Feed Me case comes in gray, white, green, blue, black, orange and pink and sells for $20 (USD) from <a href="http://connectdesign.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=289http://connectdesign.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=289">Connect design</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mobile phone stands aren&#8217;t all equal, and I have to say that this one definitely is different from others I&#8217;ve seen before. The <a href="http://www.iloop-official.com/en">iLoop</a> is basically a thick silicone ring that doubles as an iPhone stand, and oddly enough, an exercise grip. Yes, you can use this ring as a hand grip which can be used to relieve stress.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87219" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/iphone-iloop_02.jpg" alt="iphone iloop 02" width="600" height="622" title="iphone iloop 02 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-87217"></span>The thing that I like the most is that it&#8217;s soft and flexible, allowing for easy storage and that you won&#8217;t be worried about chucking it into the bottom of your bag. It&#8217;s also stretchy enough to fit just about any smartphone.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87248" title="iloop_phone_stand" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/iloop_phone_stand.jpg" alt="iloop phone stand" width="600" height="318" /></p>
<p>It can also be pulled into different shapes, so you can use it as a stand for watching movies or playing games if you use multiples.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87249" title="iloop_phone_stand_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/iloop_phone_stand_2.jpg" alt="iloop phone stand 2" width="600" height="257" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.iloop-official.com/en">iLoop</a> costs €14.90 (~$20 USD) and it&#8217;s shipping now. There are four different colors available: black, sky blue, pink and white, and you get a 10% discount when you order a four-pack.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-87218" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/iphone-iloop_01.jpg" alt="iphone iloop 01" width="600" height="457" title="iphone iloop 01 photo" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An interior light for your purse or backpack might seem like a strange idea, but it actually might really come in handy, especially if you find yourself looking for your keys in the dark, or struggling to find something in your purse while sitting in a darkened movie theater. And while you could certainly carry around a flashlight on your keychain, I actually like this idea even better.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75863" title="bag_light_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/bag_light_1.jpg" alt="bag light 1" width="600" height="615" /></p>
<p><span id="more-75742"></span>Lexon designer <a href="http://www.lexon-design.com/designers/fellina-sok-cham.html">Fellina Sok-Cham</a> came up with the idea for this nifty Bag Light. It just hangs from the strap of your bag, clipped into place securely with a magnetic carabiner, and providing handy illumination inside your bag with the push of a button. It&#8217;s made of soft silicone rubber, so it won&#8217;t scratch up the contents of your bag, and offers bright, diffuse LED illumination.</p>
<p>The Bag Light is available over at the <a href="http://www.momastore.org/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay_Bag%20Light_10451_10001_76921_-1_26708_27162_77118">MoMA Store</a> for just $9 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While you can already get <a title="Han Solo Carbonite Ice Tray is Perfect for Hot Summer Days on Tatooine" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/08/26/han-solo-carbonite-ice-tray/">Han Solo</a> and <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-r2-d2-silicon-tray.html">R2-D2</a> ice cube trays, I guess the guys at Kotobukiya decided that it was time for the dark side to get into the ice cube business as well. Now, they&#8217;ve announced the release of Darth Vader and Stormtrooper ice cube trays to round out their selection.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75328" title="darth_vader_ice_cube_tray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/darth_vader_ice_cube_tray.jpg" alt="darth vader ice cube tray" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p><span id="more-75126"></span>The trays are made from durable silicone, and cast six large cubes of either the Dark Lord or his white armored minions. To really get the most out of these, I&#8217;d fill the Darth Vader ones with grape juice and the Stormtrooper ones with something white, like coconut milk or frozen piña coladas.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75329" title="stormtrooper_ice_cube_tray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/stormtrooper_ice_cube_tray.jpg" alt="stormtrooper ice cube tray" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p>I think those white and black(ish) cubes would look much cooler floating in a glass of clear liquid too. Since the trays are made from silicone, they&#8217;re actually heat-resistant too, so you could also use them to bake some evil cookies or mini cakes.</p>
<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more! They&#8217;ve also revealed these sweet Millennium Falcon and X-Wing Fighter trays too. Sweet.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75330" title="millennium_falcon_ice_cube_tray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/millennium_falcon_ice_cube_tray.jpg" alt="millennium falcon ice cube tray" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p>The Falcon seems better suited to baking cookies or larger frozen desserts though, while the X-Wing seems the perfect size for ice cubes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75331" title="x_wing_fighter_ice_cube_tray" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/x_wing_fighter_ice_cube_tray.jpg" alt="x wing fighter ice cube tray" width="600" height="900" /></p>
<p>All four of the new silicone trays will ship in May 2012, and can be pre-ordered from Kotobukiya&#8217;s U.S. website. <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-darth-vader-silicone-ice-tray.html">Darth Vader</a>, <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-stormtrooper-silicone-ice-tray.html">Stormtroopers</a>, <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-millennium-falcon-silicone-ice-tray.html">Millennium Falcon</a> and <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-x-wing-fighter-silicone-ice-tray.html">X-Wing Fighter</a> ice trays each sell for for $10 (USD). If you want an early jump on them, you might want to check out <a href="http://www.ncsx.com/2011/111411/ncs1114w.htm">NCSX</a>, who claims to have a January 2012 release date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like ostentatious crap, but don&#8217;t have any money to back up your &#8220;discerning&#8221; taste? Why spend $35,000 on a <a href="http://stuarthughes.com/newdawn/product_info.php?products_id=96">real gold iPhone</a>, when you could still have a gold iPhone for about 20 bucks?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72811" title="iphone_gold_bar_case_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/iphone_gold_bar_case_1.jpg" alt="iphone gold bar case 1" width="600" height="560" /></p>
<p><span id="more-72677"></span>This ridiculous iPhone 4 case makes your smartphone look like it&#8217;s made out of solid gold. Or actually 999.9 gold, to be exact. Despite the &#8220;Net Wt 1000g&#8221; labeling, I&#8217;m pretty sure your iPhone will still weigh in at less than 1/5th of that, even with the case on.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-72812" title="iphone_gold_bar_case_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/iphone_gold_bar_case_2.jpg" alt="iphone gold bar case 2" width="600" height="600" /></p>
<p>I also can&#8217;t imagine that the angled corners on this thing would be particularly comfortable in your pocket, but then again, it&#8217;s made out of rubbery silicone, and not actual gold. If you&#8217;re just dying to show off your extravagant style, you can get the Gold Bar iPhone 4 case over at <a href="http://www.strapya-world.com/products/48115.html">Strapya World</a> for ¥1680 (appx. $22 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a fun way to keep your beverages nice and cool at the same time as giving you a nice straw to drink from. This special silicone rubber ice mold can freeze six 8-inch-long, frosty straws at once.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-69050" title="ice_straw_mold" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/ice_straw_mold.jpg" alt="ice straw mold" width="600" height="689" /></p>
<p><span id="more-69049"></span>A plug at the ends of each tray ensure that water doesn&#8217;t get into the middle of the straw molds, so you can drink through them. The straws this thing produces look a little chunky to me, but that&#8217;s okay &#8211; just more ice surface area to keep your drink chilled.</p>
<p>Ice Straw trays are available over at <a href="http://www.fredflare.com/WHAT-S-NEW/Ice-Straws/">FredFlare</a> for $14(USD) each. I&#8217;d love to see someone come up with ice-based Crazy Straws. That&#8217;s an ice tray I&#8217;d buy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The next time Jabba is out kicking it with some hotties and bad guys on his sand barge, I bet he could use <a href="http://www.kotous.com/news/han-solo-ice-cube-tray-awesome-ice-cube-tray/">this ice cube tray</a> for his cocktails. The tray has a little molds of Han Solo in carbonite molded into it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-65376" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/han-ice-tray.jpg" alt="han ice tray" width="600" height="395" title="han ice tray photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-65375"></span>The tray is made from silicone, not those impossible to crack hard plastic sort, and has six smaller carbonite cubes and one large cube. It’s hard to tell what size the cubes are, but I bet the larger one is more for a punchbowl. I think I would put some grape juice in there and make them look black like the film&#8217;s carbonite.</p>

<p>The tray sells for $9.99 (USD) over at <a href="http://store.kotous.com/star-wars-han-solo-in-carbonite-silicon-tray.html">Kotobukiya&#8217;s website</a>. It is crazy cool though and would be perfect for a <em>Star Wars</em> Blu-ray viewing party or Halloween. I could totally see doing some Jell-O shots out of this thing too. I want one!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m egg-static to introduce this egg-citing new egg cup that will revolutionize how you enjoy your eggs. (Okay, I will stop with the egg-streme overuse of the egg-words now. I just couldn&#8217;t resist.)</p>
<p>Anyway, remember those <a href="http://www.ovalia.com/eng_ovalia.htm">Ovalia Egg Chairs</a> that were such a hit in the sixties? Well, now Silicone Zone has made a few chairs of their own, but this time, it&#8217;s <em>really </em>for the eggs. Say hello to the Egg Chair.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54155" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/egg_chair_01.jpg" alt="egg chair 01" width="600" height="500" title="egg chair 01 photo" /><span id="more-54148"></span>Egg cups aren&#8217;t really new to the scene, and I personally don&#8217;t use them when I eat eggs because I can do without the extra hassle. I mean, I can just hold the hard-boiled egg or put it in a bowl and eat it as I would if it were in a cup. But that&#8217;s just me.</p>
<p>However, <em>this </em>egg cup is different because it does more than just hold the egg in place.</p>
<p>These Egg Chairs are made from silicone and are oven safe, microwave safe, dishwasher safe, and freezer safe. So just put an egg on it, pop it in the oven (for baked eggs?!), or in the microwave to heat up an already hard-boiled egg gone cold.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-54156" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/egg_chair_02.jpg" alt="egg chair 02" width="600" height="400" title="egg chair 02 photo" />The Egg Chair was designed by <a href="http://www.animadinamica.com/">Anima Dinamica</a> and is available in a wide array of bright colors and is currently still in production. You can check out its page on <a href="http://www.siliconezone.com/productpart.php?pid=152&amp;cid=19">Silicone Zone&#8217;s website</a> for more information although it&#8217;s not yet available for purchase.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left">Sugru might look like normal everyday clay but actually it&#8217;s a silicone polymer that cures at room temperature. Why is it so special? Well it can be molded in to any shape and stuck on to metal, ceramic, wood, leather and plastic! It sticks on to the object like it was applied with super glue! Since its made with silicone it&#8217;s water proof, keeps rather stiff with a bit of flexibility and its grip.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="size-full wp-image-24601  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/sugru.jpg" alt="sugru" width="600" height="450" title="sugru photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left">Some example uses for Sugru pulled from their <a href="http://sugru.com/gallery/">gallery</a> shows it being used to fix the heel of an old pair of shoes, make a bike handle better or just make a new handle all together! Fix a wobbly chair. The uses are endless with Sugru! Its meant to repair and make stuff work better for you. This product could replace duct tape in your toolbox.</p>

<p style="text-align: left">You can order some packs of Sugru at <a href="http://sugru.com/buy/">their website</a>. It goes for £7 GBP (appx. $11.18 USD) a pack. There are options for large, medium or small lumps of Sugru if you don&#8217;t want to deal with one big blob of the stuff. I&#8217;m picking up a pack just to keep in my tool box.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So now that the new year has passed, are you finally carrying out your resolution to get in shape by playing <em>Wii Fit</em>? Well just because you&#8217;re gonna spend countless hours standing on that Balance Board doesn&#8217;t mean that your feet have to hurt afterward.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7826 aligncenter" title="wii_fit_massage" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wii_fit_massage.jpg" alt="wii fit massage" width="520" height="321" /></p>
<p>Thanks to these cushy silicone covers for the <em>Wii Fit</em> Balance Board, your tootsies will get a serious massage while you get your workout.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7827" title="wii_fit_massage_cover" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wii_fit_massage_cover.jpg" alt="wii fit massage cover" width="520" height="477" /></p>
<p>Just slide this form-fitting silicone cover over your Balance Board, take off your shoes, and enjoy the massaging acupressure dots under your feet. As an added bonus, the bumpy silicone surface should reduce the chance that you&#8217;ll slip and fly off of your board as you do your exercise routine. <em>(Although it won&#8217;t prevent you from throwing the Wii-mote at the cat.)</em></p>
<p>You can get your <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">hands</span> erm, feet on one of these over on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018FAO8Y?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=technabob-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0018FAO8Y">Amazon</a><img style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=technabob-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0018FAO8Y" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" title=" photo" /> for just $9.99 (USD). You feet will thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This 10-pack of silicone iPhone covers comes in every color of the rainbow, so you can change your iPhone to match your clothes, your mood, the room you&#8217;re in, or whatever else you can think of.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3554 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/silicone_3g_mega_banner.jpg" alt="silicone 3g mega banner" width="520" height="325" title="silicone 3g mega banner photo" /></p>
<p>The covers have a swirly ridged surface which makes it anti-slip. They have a list of colors that I could share with you, but some of them are silly names (&#8220;cloudy&#8221; for &#8220;gray&#8221;? seriously?) Ergo, I will tell you in my own words that the colors included in this combo 10-pack are light pink, yellow, orange, kelly green, goldenrod, royal blue, white, black, light gray, and dark gray.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3552 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/iphone-covers.jpg" alt="iphone covers" width="520" height="263" title="iphone covers photo" /></p>
<p>The covers are made of 100% silicone. They&#8217;re tailor-made for the Apple iPhone 3G. The case has openings for the LCD screen, headset, dock connector.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3553 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/ipho.jpg" alt="ipho" width="520" height="233" title="ipho photo" /></p>
<p>Of course, merely having an iPhone 3G makes you cooler than most people. But being able to match it to your outfit each day? You just got bumped up from &#8220;cool&#8221; to &#8220;straight pimpin&#8217;.&#8221; You can buy the 10-pack for $69.90 <a href="http://www.more-thing.com/silicone-mega-combo-iphone-3g.html?osCsid=92db15c8a6de7e818702bdf7a88b97a9">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Homade ChocoCase is an iPhone case that looks like a scrumptious chocolate bar&#8230; but is in fact a silicone cover with a screen protector!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2498" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/homadechococaseforiphone1.jpg" alt="homadechococaseforiphone1" width="520" height="235" title="homadechococaseforiphone1 photo" /></p>
<p>This would be a good conversation starter (examples: &#8220;How do you keep a candy bar in your pocket without it melting?&#8221; or &#8220;Excuse me, my Valrhona is vibrating.&#8221;) But the raised rectangle design looks like it adds a fair amount of bulk to the iPhone- and we all know that iPhones are pretty ginormous as it is, and that they take up more than their share of pants-pocket realty already.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2500" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/homadechococaseforiphone3.jpg" alt="homadechococaseforiphone3" width="520" height="334" title="homadechococaseforiphone3 photo" /></p>
<p>It looks like the ChocoCase is made for old-skool (as of yesterday) 1.0 iPhones and probably won&#8217;t fit correctly on the upcoming 3G version, which is going to be more rounded and a tiny bit thinner. Nonetheless if you&#8217;re planning on sticking with your iPhone Classic, you love silicone chocolate, and you want to have an even more deformed pocket silhouette than you already do, then you can pick up this case for $29.99 from <a href="http://www.gizfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=533">gizfever</a>. You get the nifty box with a screen protector and brown silicone iPhone case.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[These LED watches may be brand new, but they draw at least some of their inspiration from those tacky 1980s slap bracelets. You know, those stupid flexible wristbands covered in leopard prints or zebra stripes that came flat, but you had to slap onto your wrist to wear.

The Time-It&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These LED watches may be brand new, but they draw at least some of their inspiration from those tacky 1980s <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdMvCBgbutM">slap bracelets</a>. You know, those stupid flexible wristbands covered in leopard prints or zebra stripes that came flat, but you had to slap onto your wrist to wear.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/time-it_watches.jpg" alt="time it watches"  title="time it watches photo" /></p>
<p>The Time-It series of watches is designed for active types, wrapped in a flexible waterproof silicone case that snaps to curl around your wrist just like those wacky relics from the days of big shoulder pads and even bigger hair. So just how do you tell time on these oddities? Simply glance at the LED dots when the watch lights up. The top row is numbered from 0 to 11 to indicate hours, while the bottom row displays minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/time-it_watches_flat.jpg" alt="time it watches flat"  title="time it watches flat photo" /></p>
<p>Strangely enough, this is the first watch that I&#8217;ve seen that requires regular charging. When you remove the watch, you&#8217;ll need to place it in its &#8220;magic case&#8221; (also known as a charging base), and it&#8217;ll hold anywhere from one day&#8217;s to two weeks&#8217; worth of juice, depending on usage.</p>
<p>At $189 each, they&#8217;re a bit on the pricey side, but if you&#8217;re looking for a really offbeat watch design, look no further. You can find the entire collection over at the <a href="http://ledwatchstop.com/store/timeit-unique-sports-watch-rechargeable-p-297.html">LED Watch Stop</a>.</p>
