What are Apple and their devices all about? It’s about the universal ecosystem. When you purchase your Apple Music, you can use it on any device – iPad, Mac or iPhone. Even more – when your Mac is connected to the same WiFi with your portable device you can copy-paste from device to Mac and back.

With all this ecosystem users would really like to use iPad as a second screen that you can take with you and carry around without unplugging your MacBook. And not to carry around the whole iMac, that is just impossible.

Luna Display was supported by more than 4.700 backers gathering 12 times more than required. Small and portable, it will help you boost your Apple ecosystem.

Another point that is not explained by producing company is an external Keyboard. There is a whole issue with them because not all iPads support external keyboards! Most people like using iPads for their size, flexibility, and the possibility to carry around. But they are not convenient for typing texts in messengers or while Internet surfing.

Support for Apple Pencil – just another attempt to justify its price… But no, we’re not doing it.

Unfortunately, sweet discounts are all gone, but we still have the possibility to catch 19% off retail price with 69$ per any type you like – USB-C (Hurray from MacBook 2016 owners) or Mini DisplayPort.

The leather is one of the most durable materials in the world. People were using leather since the beginning of crafting. And this is not only the question of durability, leather goods are also on top of fashion. We’ve been reviewing such projects, for example, amazing Volterman (https://www.explorecrowdfunding.com/2017/06/28/volterman/).

It is a whole task to find high-quality leather. This project here is one of such. The reason we are reviewing it is “life time warranty” that we would like to stress on in addition to already “a must” nowadays – devices charging possibility.

The Port Series is proposed in 5 sizes, starting from the tablet (for iPads and such) to 15” full sized bag.

We all dream about our perfect house, place we can be ourselves. A castle, where we can raise our children and protect our family. When you find such a place, we all tend to make it the best and the most comfortable place in the world. Everything seems cozy, familiar and so relaxing.

Light and coloring play one of the most major roles in making comfort inside your home. For example, most people prefer not to stress your bedroom with red color and make it calmer. While people tend to make the living area more colorful and joyful.

Imagine a perfect situation. You come back home from your work. You can turn on the music inside your house, using the smart speaker. It starts playing your favorite song…. And it is displayed inside your house with LED lights.

This project here is initially done for musicians. We say – it is done for everybody. Metal and durable, it can be installed into the wall, connected to your sound system. We, regular people, can benefit from this project in our everyday life for as much as $330.

Backpacks campaigns are common on Kickstarter or Indiegogo. Though we reviewd very few of them, for example, Billy Tannrey (https://www.explorecrowdfunding.com/2017/05/30/billy-tannery/) or Laer sleeve (https://www.explorecrowdfunding.com/2017/07/03/laer/).

In the case of leather packs – it is a ргпу whole task to save the bag in durable condition. You will have to spend time and money on that. And in the case of sleeves – you are limited only to one size to carry a notebook with you, nothing more.

Foldr project came to our attention because it solves both of the problems – it is durable and resistant to scratches and water (check out the preview about scratches). Also, this bag can change the size from 13′ sleeve to a regular backpack. Basically, you will need only one bag to solve all your everyday needs.

It is a good time to grab your bag with a notable discount of 30% (approx. $81 vs. $115 retail prices) with a worldwide delivery.

Take a decision in case you like the design and support these Singapore company. Note that red version is also available.

We’ve reviewed already a list of electric skateboards in recent past and there is no need to repeat all the pros of using a skateboard and making it electric. For example, amazing smart XTND (www.explorecrowdfunding.com/2017/05/25/xtnd/) or portable and controller free Spectra (https://www.explorecrowdfunding.com/2017/05/17/spectra/).

Let’s just make 2 things to review the Huger electric skateboards. And first things first. These are real, reduced skateboards you will get in case you order:

– https://www.explorecrowdfunding.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Huger/huger2.jpg


The second thing to do if you are looking at electric skateboard – compare it to the Boosted Board. And here is the comparison with Huger Racer:

– Racer is heavier by 0.5 kilogram
– Racer is faster by 5 mph (8 kph)
– Racer is higher hill grade by 5%
– Racer has higher IPX waterproof certificate

It’s overall exchange of 8 kph and hill grade increase to 0.5 weight. From another point of view, Huger claims to be affordable, but in fact – they are the same price.

Booster Board – $1.299, while Huger Racer – $1.199 retail price. And purchasing this board on Indiegogo is very profitable. It will turn to $1.299 vs. $899 for Huger.

AQUA+: World’s Most Powerful Wireless Headphone Amplifier

iPod from Apple once redefined the way we used to listen to the music. This product made a revolution. You can have enormous amount of music wherever you go. But Apple won’t be them if they will not do it again with iPod shuffle. And again with iPod nano.

iPod nano was the smallest audio player in the world when it was released and it was popular among active people who used it on the go or doing sports. Despite it was once a revolution, it’s time is over and Apple discontinues (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/07/27/apple-removes-ipod-nano-ipod-shuffle/) Nano production. There are several reasons for that and they seem to be logical. For example, it does not support music streaming and also – we all have a music player with us inside our mobile phones.

AQUA+ is trying to take this part of the market and brings us a player with a size of Nano but with features from you iPhone: streaming, less weight, not connected to your phone. You can put your phone in the bag and go on the run without being connected by wires from headphones to you heavy phone.

The design of the product is a separate issue. It’s modern, strict and can fit your everyday style. We like the aspect that it is designed well enough to be even attached to your business suit.

NEXUM ( the company behind AQUA+) claims to have perfect sound from this little box but it is impossible to check, before having this product in your hands. And without understanding – does this have such a big issue? If you are satisfied with your iPhone sound quality, we believe you will be satisfied with the AQUA+ quality. This is not an audiophile device.

Lofree Poison: Nostalgic Powerful Wireless Speaker

“Good ol’ 50s” is a magical period in our culture. It has very warm and nastalgic echoes. We watch movies about this time and we love them, for example, “Back to the Future”.

Enthusiasts are ready and are willing to bring a piece of this time to the modern life. Unfortunately, anything that is restored from that time is usually very expensive (if working) and do not fill modern standards. It’s almost impossible to listen to old speakers when you have Apple Music in everyday life.

Lofree Poison project proposes to bring the design of the 50s with modern technologies of a wireless speaker. Having outstanding design it also has some features right from our childhood – you have to turn a wheel to search for your favorite radio station. Ah, that nostalgy….

In just a week, this project collected 700% of required funds and you have to hurry up if you want an early bird. Only 3 left. And keep in mind, that prices are in HK$. Early bird is converted to 100$ and that seems to be a reasonable price.
