Portable speakers often place a high importance on the convenience of wireless audio, often at the expense of sound quality. That’s why we were excited to find out about the Sound Step Lightning 2, a sleek, feature rich Bluetooth sound station to deliver the fantastic sound you crave. For a limited time,9to5Toys Specials has it for $59 shipped.

The output is enhanced by the stereo and bass separation of proprietary UQ3™ spatial sound technology, and there is an infra-red remote included for controlling playback.
You can feed music into the speaker wirelessly via Bluetooth, or plug your iPhone into the integrated Lightning dock. Alternatively, you can tune into FM radio via Soundfreaq’s app, or go for a regular line-in connection. You can also keep your phone (or other device) topped up with Sound Step’s USB charging port. The speaker itself is rechargeable and can last up to 8 hours.
This deal takes 60% off the regular price of the Sound Step Lightning 2, with free shipping to the Continental US.

Convenience and security are usually polar opposites. But the QuickLock uses NFC and Bluetooth to provide one-tap access to your protected stuff. You can currently pick one up for $49 with free shipping. That’s $8 less than Amazon’s shipped price where it gets 3/5 star reviews from limited reviewers.
Gizmag.com and Cnet.comboth gave it solid reviews. The QuickLock is made from die cast zinc alloy, making it practically unbreakable, and it has no keyhole. Instead, it comes with a key card, which you simply swipe over the lock to gain access. Alternatively, you can unlock the QuickLock from your phone, or with the separately available keyfobs and ring. To give other people access, you can sync up to fifty keyfobs or cards with each QuickLock, and an unlimited number of phones. This system is a lot more secure than a regular combination lock because you don’t have to pass around codes. The lock charges via the supplied micro USB cable, and it will remain operational for two years on a single charge.

Rather than painfully squeezing your keys into your jeans, the KeySmart holds keys flat against each other. This means they take up half the room they normally would, and because they are held on a hinge, you can easily flip them out for use. With the included extender, the KeySmart has room for up to 10 standard-size keys. It is made (in the USA) from stainless steel and aircraft aluminum, but without the keys, it weighs just 0.1 oz.

“HUSKK is taking efficient everyday carry to the next level with the new Quickdraw iPhone wallet case,” GQ
Wherever you go, you have to take both your money and your phone. So it makes perfect sense to carry them together. The HUSKK is an iPhone case which can hold cash and up to seven credit cards, meaning you only have to pick up one item on the way out of the door. The combination of Italian leather and British craftsmanship makes for a beautiful exterior, and a magnetic clasp keeps your cards secure. There is also a pocket on the outside, for quick access to your cash and your most frequently used card. But the HUSKK offers good protection for your phone, too. Underneath the leather there is a body-hugging case, and you get a screen protector to guard against scratches.
Comfortably holds cash and up to 7 cards
Easily slips into your pocket
Includes a hidden magnetic closure for ease of use
Contains a convenient “quick-access” slot for cash and card
Provides ultimate screen protection with Face Down screen guard
Feel secure that your wallet is always anywhere your phone is (you can even call it!)
The Blumoo is a Bluetooth receiver that has ports for any type of audio-visual equipment — you can plug in your cable box, Blu-ray player, home theater system and beyond. Instead of playing a game of “find the remote” every time you want to watch something, the downloaded Blumoo app allows you to select the device you want to control with your phone. You then get an on-screen remote, which only offers the specific controls required for that device, plus any relevant extras, such as a TV guide. It makes the concept of a universal remote truly convenient, and Blumoo is compatible with over 225,000 devices. The app is available for iOS and Android, and the Blumoo receiver has a range of 150 feet.

There are literally millions of things you can create with an Arduino, which is why it is a great way into electronics. This bundle actually puts an Arduino (Uno) in your hands, along with an entire kit for making circuits — breadboards, jumper wires, lights, buzzers, and plenty more. You get a good instruction booklet in with this gear, but to help you to move into more advanced Arduino-based projects, this bundle also comes with three courses. In no particular order, these show you how to self-build a RC car and set up various forms of environmental monitoring, while you can also learn about the Internet of Things (smart devices). It is a pretty comprehensive line-up for anyone wanting to get started with Arduino.
