Vers 1Q  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Speaker    Posted date:  July 30, 2012  |  No comment



[$95] Mobile speakers are perfect for lazy days at the pool or beer pong games with your crew, but let’s be honest – most of them are complete crap. Either the sound sucks, or the battery life is terrible, or both. Vers Audio is aiming to rectify those problems, plus add a major style element with their 1Q. (more…)

Polaroid Instant Digital Camera  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  photo    Posted date:  July 24, 2012  |  No comment



[$160] Don’t count Polaroid out of the game just yet – there’s still something to be said for holding a physical copy of a snapshot. The Polaroid Instant Digital Camera does just that, printing instant images just like the old cameras, but a lot better. (more…)

[$40] Vegetable-tanned American cowhide. Hand beveled and burnished edges. Lockstitched marine thread. Combine these things together and you have the gorgeous Bexar Goods Leather Mousepad. (more…)

JVC ADIXXION Camcorder  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Camera    Posted date:  July 12, 2012  |  No comment



[$300+] GoPro can suck it. There’s a new player in the action sports tiny video camera for your snowboard/car/surfboard/special set of first person goggles. That’s right, the JVC ADIXXION can stick right to your face, making for some really nice FPS style videos of you eating shit on a skateboard. (more…)

Fiverr  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  website    Posted date:  June 25, 2012  |  No comment



[$5] Where can you get a Spanish lesson, a sketch of your ugly mug, your own ukelele song for only five bones? Fiverr.com of course. (more…)

Jetovator  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  June 18, 2012  |  No comment



[$9000] Question: what is water-propelled, goes 25mph, dives like a submarine, and sets you back nine grand? The Jetovator of course – or in more general terms, basically a dirt bike combined with a jet pack. Check the video after the jump. (more…)

Leather MacBook Air Case  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Apple    Posted date:  June 6, 2012  |  No comment



[$170] The great thing about the MacBook Air is that it does all the shit you wish your iPad would do, and it’s just as portable as your iPad. Well almost as portable. So for those times you need to chuck your Air into a backpack, pick up this handmade leather MacBook case. (more…)

Michael Jordan MacBook Decals  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  decal    Posted date:  May 31, 2012  |  No comment



[$15] We’re deep into the NBA playoffs which can only mean one thing: the goons over at ESPN are sharting themselves over how great LeBron is. Well, guess what? Jordan was still better and always will be. Show your love for MJ with this mid-dunk Michael Jordan MacBook Decal. (more…)

Gtar  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Music    Posted date:  May 24, 2012  |  No comment



[$350+] We’re not big fans of Guitar Hero and the like- games like that just distract people from doing stuff that actually requires talent like, oh I don’t know, picking up a real guitar and learning to play. However the one thing we’ll give that game is it does intuitively teach you how to hit buttons in the correct order, so why not apply a similar system to a real guitar? That’s more or less what the folks at Gtar have done. (more…)

Nixon Micro Blaster  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Nixon    Posted date:  May 16, 2012  |  No comment



[$100] Having a nasty looking pair of ear buds can often mean the difference between getting laid and not getting laid. Alright, not really, but still… a pair of Nixon Micro Blasters might help. Just kidding, nothing can help you. (more…)

Resonating Transparent Speakers  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Speaker    Posted date:  May 10, 2012  |  No comment



[$180] Yeah, the Resonating Transparent Speakers are really pretty, but that’s not a reason why you should buy them. You should buy them because their unique design creates some of the most amazing bass you’ve ever heard in a desktop speaker. (more…)

Grippy Pad  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:      Posted date:  May 9, 2012  |  No comment



[$12] If you have to ask what the Grippy Pad does, then your GED was delivered prematurely. It’s a super sticky pad (that isn’t actually “sticky”) for holding your gadgets securely. (more…)

iPhone Shutter Grip  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Photography    Posted date:  April 23, 2012  |  No comment



[$40] You’ve been going strong on Instagram for months now, but you really want to take the next step in Iphone photography. What you need is the iPhone Shutter Grip, which does pretty much exactly what the name implies. (more…)

Verbarius Digitless Clock  

Posted by: uppgrade    Tags:  Clock    Posted date:  April 19, 2012  |  No comment



[$175] Most clocks have numbers. The Verbarius Digitless Clock, as the name suggests, doesn’t. The result? A really sleek timepiece for your workstation. (more…)
