			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I never thought about reusing a spent airbag for much of anything, but it does make sense to upcycle this kind of durable material if you can. Toronto-based <a href="http://mariclaro.ca/shop/en/">Mariclaro</a> makes them all into backpacks and carryalls that are quite different from others that I&#8217;ve seen.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82801" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mariclaro-airbag-backpack_01.jpg" alt="mariclaro airbag backpack 01" width="600" height="449" title="mariclaro airbag backpack 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-82800"></span>Mariclaro also salvages truck tarps, seat belts, bicycle inner tubes, and boat sails to created their laptop sleeves, messenger bags, briefcases and bags. 99% of each bag comes from upcycled materials. The remaining 1% is the thread and logo.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82802" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mariclaro-airbag-backpack_02.jpg" alt="mariclaro airbag backpack 02" width="600" height="477" title="mariclaro airbag backpack 02 photo" /></p>
<p>Some of their stuff is pretty cool, including the laptop sleeves made from bicycle inner tubes. Some of the bags are even waterproof as a bonus.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82803" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/mariclaro-airbag-backpack_03.jpg" alt="mariclaro airbag backpack 03" width="600" height="284" title="mariclaro airbag backpack 03 photo" /></p>
<p>Prices start at around $29(USD) for an iPhone sleeve and go up to $299 for the <a href="http://mariclaro.ca/shop/en/experiments/267-airbag-back-pack.html">Airbag Back Pack</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve never thought about mixing my shaving cream with my gadgets, but that didn&#8217;t stop Killspencer from thinking of a way of doing this, thanks to their new <a href="http://www.killspencer.com/dopp-folio">Dopp Folio</a>, which does double duty as a carrier for your grooming stuff <em>or</em> your travel gadgets.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80259" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/killspencer-dopp-folio-grooming_01.jpg" alt="killspencer dopp folio grooming 01" width="600" height="400" title="killspencer dopp folio grooming 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-80258"></span>The sides on the bag can attached, to make a more box-like shape for your toiletries. Instead, if you want to use it as a gadget folio, just undo the sides, and it has enough space for your iPad or 11-inch MacBook Air. You might be able to fit a few more items in there along with it. Just don&#8217;t try and actually put your laptop and your hair gel in there at the same time &#8211; I can&#8217;t imagine that&#8217;d be a good idea.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-80260" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/killspencer-dopp-folio-grooming_02.jpg" alt="killspencer dopp folio grooming 02" width="600" height="400" title="killspencer dopp folio grooming 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The folio looks pretty handsome and comes in four different varieties. The canvas versions will cost you $149 while the leather ones will set you back $189.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve just spent a fat wad of cash on your fancy new iPad, but didn&#8217;t think about buying a sleeve for it? Well look no further, because this sleeve was made out of cheap, sticky duct tape, so you can make one yourself on a shoestring budget.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31334" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/041210_rg_DuctTapeIpadSleeve_01.jpg" alt="041210 rg DuctTapeIpadSleeve 01" width="600" height="464" title="041210 rg DuctTapeIpadSleeve 01 photo" /></p>
<p>Frank Hsueh was exactly in that predicament. He based his iPad sleeve on a simple bubble wrap shipping envelope, which he MacGyvered together by covering it with both double-sided and duct tape.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31335" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/041210_rg_DuctTapeIpadSleeve_02.jpg" alt="041210 rg DuctTapeIpadSleeve 02" width="600" height="460" title="041210 rg DuctTapeIpadSleeve 02 photo" /></p>
<p>The final touch included an Apple sticker from an iPod shuffle to give the duct tape sleeve a bit more class (assuming duct tape could have class). The resulting sleeve is pretty unusual and looks sturdy &#8211; assuming none of that evil duct tape goo ever gets on the screen of his iPad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After the whole iPad naming fiasco, we all knew that it wouldn&#8217;t take long for some more maxi-pad humor to come our way. Here it is: the iMaxi, the apple iPad case with maxi wings!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-29013  aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/030110_rg_iMaxi_01.jpg" alt="030110 rg iMaxi 01" width="600" height="439" title="030110 rg iMaxi 01 photo" /></p>
<p>A lot of women, including my wife, were thinking that there couldn&#8217;t have been single woman on the iPad naming-team. What were they thinking?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29014" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/030110_rg_iMaxi_02.jpg" alt="030110 rg iMaxi 02" width="600" height="402" title="030110 rg iMaxi 02 photo" /></p>
<p>Since Apple won&#8217;t change the iPad&#8217;s name at this point, this case should work well with it. It is handmade and it will keep your iPad clean with its protective wings! The outer layer is vinyl and a plush, quilted-cotton sleeve, which should help keep your precious iPad nice and tidy. Etsy crafter <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/hiphandmaids">Hiphandmaids</a>&#8216; product description says it best:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Plus, the iMaxi’s Velcro-latched, advanced wing design wraps snugly around your device, so your iPad always stays where it should. Best of all, it shields it from all those unsightly and embarrassing data leaks that would make any motherboard worry.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Hiphandmaids says they will sell for $40 (USD), but if you pre-order before March 30, 2010, you can get one for $30.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://design-fetish.blogspot.com/2010/02/imaxi-apple-ipad-case-with-protective.html" target="_blank"></a><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29012" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/030110_rg_iMaxi_03.jpg" alt="030110 rg iMaxi 03" width="600" height="402" title="030110 rg iMaxi 03 photo" /></p>
<p>I especially like the one with the red inside. That&#8217;s just plain wrong.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Laptop sleeves are a dime a dozen, but this one is perfect for all of you book lovers out there. Heck, I&#8217;d like to order one for myself right now.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27144" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/012510_rg_BookBook_01.jpg" alt="012510 rg BookBook 01" width="600" height="545" title="012510 rg BookBook 01 photo" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook/">BookBook</a> is a hardcover leather case for MacBooks and MacBook Pros, though I&#8217;d bet that it fits other laptops as well, assuming they&#8217;re of the 13 or 15-inch variety.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27145" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/012510_rg_BookBook_02.jpg" alt="012510 rg BookBook 02" width="600" height="412" title="012510 rg BookBook 02 photo" /></p>
<p>It&#8217;s available in two colors, either classic black or vibrant red. Both colors are finished in a hardback leather case. What I really like is that the laptop will almost disappear in a bunch of books. I can&#8217;t really think of a better way to hide your laptop from would-be thieves.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27143" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/012510_rg_BookBook_03.jpg" alt="012510 rg BookBook 03" width="600" height="406" title="012510 rg BookBook 03 photo" /></p>
<p>You can buy the bookbook from <a href="http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook/">TwelveSouth</a> for $79.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is it about <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2009/12/22/giant-nes-controller-laptop-case/">retro gaming laptop sleeves</a> lately? I&#8217;m guessing there was some sort of memo floated around the DIY community, because suddenly laptops everywhere seem to be wrapped up old school style. I gotta get behind this Gameboy sleeve, though&#8211;if only because it takes a portable to hold a portable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-25201" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/tb-gameboysleeve.jpg" alt="tb gameboysleeve" width="450" height="600" title="tb gameboysleeve photo" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I think it&#8217;s also safe to say that this particular design wins due to the inclusion of a game of classic monochrome <em>Tetris</em>. The very sight of it inspires a bit of green-tinted nostalgia, doesn&#8217;t it? This project is the first <a href="http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=331685.msg3830689#msg3830689">Craftster member instantblue</a> has posted. It&#8217;s good to start near the top, eh?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The case itself is made of felt, but the designs required a little more flash: the buttons are made of sculpey clay, and the rest was done with stencils and the help of a good ol&#8217; inkjet printer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people find clothes for things that aren&#8217;t meant to wear clothes (i.e. everything non-human) cute, perhaps even cool. I&#8217;m not as enthusiastic about the idea, but to each his own right? If we already have <a href="http://daninz.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/chihuahua-toupee.jpg">chihuahua wigs</a> or <a href="http://www.thesophisticatedcat.com/cat_clothes/dresses/index.html">cat dresses</a>, then I guess gadget clothing isn&#8217;t so bad. Presenting: iPod Hoodies.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-12704 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ipod-hoodies.jpg" alt="ipod hoodies" width="520" height="306" title="ipod hoodies photo" /></p>
<p>So..yeah. Uhm. It comes in two sizes, Large &#8211; for iPod Classic, iPod Touch and iPhone &#8211; and Small &#8211; for everything smaller than the ones I mentioned. Of course you can also have your other gadgets wear it, as long as it fits. Of course you can have them wear it even if it doesn&#8217;t fit; to each his own. No other colors or prints are available. Yet. Order your iPod&#8217;s very own hoodie at <a href="http://www.lazyboneuk.com/products/iPod-Hoodies.html">Lazybone UK</a> for £8 ($10.90 USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 9 to 5 laptop sleeve protects and serves your laptop with a tightly buttoned shirt, colorful necktie, and pocket to hold your pens. A pocket protector is strictly optional and has to be purchased separately.</p>

<p>You can buy on of these groovy laptop sleeves for $40 from <a href="http://barrysfarm.net/product/9-5-laptop-sleeve">Barry&#8217;s Farm</a>. The sleeve is made of heavy duty vinyl and padded with 1/4 fabric backed foam, with a flannel lining to caress your computer.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-4106 aligncenter" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/laptop2.jpg" alt="laptop2" width="520" height="354" title="laptop2 photo" /></p>
<p>This kind of reminds me of those <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/08/25/cop-a-feel/">severed female torso mice</a> from a few weeks back, except in a more masculine, buttoned-up format. Glad to see there is some gender equality when it comes to severed torso-inspired design.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just got invited to a formal wedding this Fall, and have been stymied as to what I would wear since it&#8217;s been about 15 years since I had to wear a tuxedo to anything. While I still might have to rent a tux and bow tie, at least I know what I&#8217;ll be wearing on my sleeves.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3850 aligncenter" title="pac_man_cufflinks_sarahlynn" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pac_man_cufflinks_sarahlynn.jpg" alt="pac man cufflinks sarahlynn" width="520" height="430" /></p>
<p>How could you resist going out on a night on the town with these great Pac-Man cufflinks on your wrists? Handmade by Sarah Lynne Designs, they feature the likeness of Pac-Man on one cuff and a blue ghost (presumably spawned after a tasty power pill) on the other.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3851 aligncenter" title="pac_man_cufflinks_sleeve" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/pac_man_cufflinks_sleeve.jpg" alt="pac man cufflinks sleeve" width="520" height="430" /></p>
<p>Sarah makes the cufflinks from sturdy brushed aluminum and then coats them with a heavy-duty resin for that glossy sheen. The intricate character designs are made from hand sculpted wire and paint, while the dots are made from teeny, tiny beads.</p>
<p>You can find these and other cool contemporary jewelry over on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=102270">Sarah&#8217;s Etsy shop</a>.</p>
