Some of my favorite gear

MagSafe Wall Mount

Peel, stick, then snap your iPhone onto the wall.

Tote your Chromebook in Arvok’s Laptop Sleeve for $9. This case sticks with a minimal design comprised of water-resistant neoprene that adds another layer of protection to your Chromebook. With over 11,000 Amazon reviews so far, this case is rated 4.5/5 stars.

Another route includes opting for one of the backpacks that are currently on sale. We just found Pacsafe and Timbuk2 bags from $45. These high-quality bags are a great option for lugging around all sorts of gear and impressive discounts make now a great time to strike.
