Tiny speakers oftentimes just can’t handle constantly being cranked up to 11, which is why vibration speakers are so awesome.

Read MoreMangaHigh – who said math has to be boring?

Read MoreTobii PCEye Go will let you control your computer with your eyes
We take many things for granted until we no longer have use of them. Chances are you’ve never imagined what life would be like without the use of your hands. No more sending a quick text, handshakes, typing out an email, and the list goes on and on.

Read MoreSUREswivel – don’t get your tethers in a twist
Your four-legged canine friend loves to run around and play pretty much all the time. While that keeps them active and healthy, there are times when you want to do something other than chase squirrels or check out fire hydrants.

Read MoreHoodiePillow gives you a cozy spot to nap wherever you are
Sleeping can be tricky sometimes. You can fall asleep within minutes some nights, and others it can take hours. While you’re traveling, sleep is even more difficult to come by, as you don’t have control over light, temperature, noise levels, or what position you get to sleep in.
Read MoreInvisiplug Outlet Power Strip – Hiding in plain sight
There are never enough outlets in our homes, so we have to resort to using a power strip. While there are varying types with more or less plug space, and longer or shorter cords, they all seem to have one thing in common: they are unequivocally unattractive.

OK so look, we’re cool with miniaturization. We understand that if there’s a way the factory can cram something extra into a product, they will. Because, well because they can.
