Fender Product Review


"'Fender' Product - iPad Bumper"
Fender - the iPad Bumper - this product turned out really cool! I must say the brief description was insanely misleading; nonetheless, I fully support this product. The iPad's Smart Cover goes well with this iPad bumper. This product is made out of rubber and protects the iPad well...




The Fender looks great on the iPad2! And like I mentioned - it goes well with the Smart Cover...If you bought the Smart Cover, then I definitely recommend this iPad Bumper to protect the back of the iPad. The Fender allows for full functionality of the iPad2 including all ports and cameras! Couldn't look better guys! Great work out there!




Another item to note - is the price - the Fender is $20.00 - totally reasonable. Watch the video to see it in demonstration - the ability to protect. If I had an iPad2 or an iPad - I would totally buy one of these in cahoots with the Smart Cover...Good stuff!

Contort Product Review



"'Contort' Product - Protects With a Flex"
Cord Management - seems like a major theme for Quirky...Not saying that's a bad thing - in fact - it's a huge seller and definitely needed in the market place. Nonetheless, cord management solutions dominate the Quirky Product Line...so here's the 'Contort...'



The Contort does the job. If you have too many USB cables floating around behind your computer or next to your laptop, then charge this product to your credit card...The 'flex-hang' reminds me of gym class - but totally goes with the concept...the design is chill - and I'm down with it...



Plug errrr in and get clutter free. I think that's the key - eliminating clutter from your life. By the way if you have an awesome cord management solution - submit it to Quirky - hahaha - you'll probably win and win the hearts of the market, too...Oh yea - price - the Contort - is slightly pricey - I would honestly pay $24.99 for it - but $34.99 is a little steep - ehhh take the plunge!

Wrapster Product Review


"'Wrapster' Product - Wrangle the Tangle"
Legit product here peeps! iPod/iPhone headphones really frustrate me. Sincerely...They do..So what an amazing product - something simple yet effective! The Wrapster is it - this product is a BAM! product...




The Wrapster is a sweet design...fling your headphones into the side pockets of this device and simple roll-up. The Wrapster is easy to maintain & definitely portable...It's made out of a durable plastic material and comes in multiple colors - including - sky blue, white, grey, & purple...


The best part about this product is that the Wrapster goes for $6.50!!!!! Whatttttt?!?! Yes! I love this price point - they are making something like $4.00 on it but woah - alright - so easy to purchase...Click the mouse - type in your address & you don't even realize it's on your bank account statement! That's how inexpensive this product is - definitely worth it!

By the way - I ended up going to a Quirky Event where they were packaging & shipping Wrapsters - I packaged maybe 150 of them myself. Hands on experience, harr harr harr...

Carabiner + Hook Product

PROBLEM: Ability to use carabiner to lock on to an object while using a hook for "quick-grab" items.

If you are using a carabiner to leverage an object, then you don't want to unlock it to retrieve an item off the carabiner, that is where the hook is used...

SOLUTION: Carabiner + Hook

CUSTOMER: Carabiner Market

Lots of Different Designs - I Can Think of at Least 10 Different Designs...
TONS OF VALUE***

Keychain "Lint Roller" Product

PROBLEM: "Lint Roller" That Attaches to Key Ring
SOLUTION: "Keychain Lint Roller" - not necessarily a Lint Roller - but some device that attaches to your key ring for easy access on-the-go & helps de-lint your clothes anywhere!

"Switch" Product Review



"'Switch' Product - Your Tool, Your Way"
Another Quirky Product that I am a fan! This custom pocket knife could easily go for +$200 - that is - if made out of quality materials...To be honest - I have no idea what it is made out of...not sure if it's included in the detailed description...oh wait! It is - and Quirky states - high quality stainless steal with some plastic parts...hmmm



Included with the modular pocket knife are 18 tool attachments!!! I really love the ability to customize your pocket knife...And it comes with a gnarly case...definitely a great gift for Father's Day or another special event! I definitely recommend this product. A pocket knife is always cool - but the ability to customize a pocket knife - woah! I'm totally onboard here!

Dog Bowl Product



There is a NEED for adjustable height. Animals digest better if they don't have to lean over to eat. They also maintain better posture & the back is healthier.
The scoop concept is easy on the back. You can also use the top handle to pick up for moving, etc.
This design promotes health to both the pet owner and pet.

All-In-One Tripod Product

ALL-IN-ONE TRIPOD Product
Coming right back to ya folks! Slightly - redesigned this All-In-One Tripod - I feel like it's almost there! Very simple design - looks just like a tripod but slightly taller...maybe 6 inches taller...Fluid design - what do you guys think?
PROBLEM: Too much equipment to carry around.









SOLUTION: Revolutionize the Tripod into a Multi-Facet Device.


Includes Multiple Functions - Tripod, Dolly-Tripod, Monopod, "Glide-cam," Crane, Dolly-Crane.
This tripod product is my favorite submission. For some reason - the design just popped into my head - specifically the ball & socket hinge, which really defines this product: I picked up the hook concept from my brother...The design is extremely fluid - easy going - simple & not over-bearing. This design compliments the original tripod design well. This tripod product is one I will consider pursuing past Quirky if it is not picked as a winner.
