by Cool Mom Staff | Travel

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve lost charge on my iPhone when I’ve needed it most and didn’t have my Mophie charger on hand, or access to an outlet. The first soccer game photos, the beautiful sunset in Mexico…sadly the list goes on. So...

UNDFIND, the laptop bag that goes with everything

by Jeana | Travel

Whenever I travel and need to bring my heavy, unruly laptop with me, I try to use a bigger purse as a makeshift laptop bag so I can better match it with my wardrobe. While I could use a laptop sleeve, I confess I often end up wrapping the computer up in a scarf and...

by Cool Mom Staff | Travel

While it’s been around for a little bit, I finally got to check out Microsoft’s Arc Touch mouse in person and uh…is it strange to be coveting a mouse? The Arc Touch Mouse now makes pretty much any mouse you’ve ever used in your life look like...

Along with all those things I can’t leave home without, my iPad is at the top of my list this summer. But, since I don’t want to add more bulk to my overstuffed bags, I’m digging this slim and clever sleeve stand that gives my precious cargo...

When is a gorgeous camera not a gorgeous camera?

by Cool Mom Staff | Travel

Look at this picture quickly: Cool camera, right? Now look closely…because it’s actually an iPhone. I’m totally blown away by the gorgeous iCA Leather iPhone cases that turn your ordinary ubiquitous Apple phone into something more. At least on the...

by Jeana | Travel

There are so many pretty iPhone cases out there that I covet, especially ones like this Watercolor Leaves case or this Van Gogh-inspired wrap case. But sometimes, just sometimes, fashion can take second place to function and this new Hybrid Series USB iPhone case with...
