Ipad mini case



From the Netherlands comes Mujjo, a brand known for crafting minimalistic yet functional products. In 2012, Mujjo first began developing sleeves for Apple devices such as the iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air as well as the MacBook Pro. The brand’s The Originals collection features a unique combination of wool felt and high quality leather, and they recently added an iPad Mini Sleeve that fits seamlessly into Mujjo’s current product lineup. The folks over at Mujjo were kind enough to send us an iPad Mini sleeve for review and we’ve been quite impressed by its detailing and overall craftsmanship. It’s easy to carry and has a little extra space in a separate compartment that can fit your headphones, some folded documents or even a MiFi. The wool felt contrasts really well with the vegetable tanned leather and we can already tell the leather with age to perfection. The felt can be easily cleaned as a special treatment provides excellent anti-peeling properties and makes the sleeve water repellent. Aesthetically, it may be the best looking iPad Mini sleeve on the market and its ability to blend so well with the iPad Mini’s slim design is what makes it such a great accessory.

Panerai


This new watch from Officine Panerai is certainly cool—an in-house chronograph (the new P.9100/R calibre) with flyback function AND a regatta countdown function which is displayed via the overlaid orange hand and both set and operated with the orange-marked pusher at 4:00. A knot scale on the rehaut helps calculate sailing speed. This model is clearly all about sailing. The titanium 1950 case is water resistant to 100 meters and comes fitted with Panerai’s beefy vented rubber strap. Retail price is expected to be $11,800.

SKULL ICE CUBE MOLD


You think Skeletor drinks his scotch with some standard block of ice? Hell, no! Yes, that’s primarily because he’s a cartoon character, but if you want to ice down some booze in the most diabolical way possible, check out this Skull Ice Cube Mold. The two part mold turns your H20 into a large skull to cool down your drink. Simple to fill and remove, the skull block measures 3″ x 3″ and won’t melt down as quickly as a few cubes tossed in there with your Glenlivet. Sure there are whiskey purists out there who wouldn’t let any bit of ice touch their sweet, delicious booze, but the awesomeness of the Skull Ice Cube trumps that feeling.
