I’ve always loved the quality of leather in a jacket, bag, boots, and even organizers. In my own quest to satisfy my leather obsession, I came across Mujjo, a designer label from the Netherlands that crafts stylish leather tech and travel accessories.

At first, Mujjo’s Instagram seems like a curated account for a community of creatives, exhibiting flat lays of a coffee enthusiast’s lifestyle or a peek on a creative’s workplace.

To confirm what Mujjo is, I checked their website and found out this Dutch designer brand has a wide range of products such as leather phone cases, touchscreen gloves, and laptop sleeves. I got so hooked on their premium-looking accessories that I started to read their story and find out more about them.

Mujjo pioneered the first touchscreen-enabled winter gloves back in 2012. If you live in cold weather, you know the struggle of not being able to use your phone with gloves on. Since then, Mujjo continuously upgraded and refined their design, expanding to an array of touchscreen gloves such as single- and double- layer, leather, and leather crochet.

Later on, they started making folio sleeves for MacBooks, and eventually Surface laptops, featuring a unique combination of wool felt and high-quality leather. Their sleeves are tailored to fit a 13-inch Surface Laptop and MacBooks of different sizes. But don’t feel excluded if you don’t own a Surface or MacBook; these sleeves should accommodate your 13-inch Windows laptop.

They also produce leather cases for iPhones, iPads, and the Galaxy S series. But what captured most me is Mujjo’s own leather wallet case, especially with its stylish and premium looks.

I honestly think this case is perfect for lazy days when you only bring the essentials, like your phone and card inside the wallet case. Their recent leather wallet cases for the iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max come in black, tan, olive green, or blue.

Mujjo’s leather accessories come in premium full-grain, which gets even more beautiful with wear. If you’ve owned raw leather, you know there’s always a love for patina. It’s so lovely!

If you’re into their leather accessories, Mujjo is shipping worldwide and you can order on their website. Spread the leather love! 💓

In the deep annals of ancient internet history, one of the earliest memes was the infamous Banana Phone song. In fact, the word “meme” hadn’t even entered our common lexicon when the video first dropped on YouTube. Since then, the video has gained massive online popularity, earning it a spot in the internet hall of fame.

More than a decade later, we finally have the technology to create a real Banana Phone. Created by the Banana Phone LLC, the Banana Phone is literally a banana-shaped phone. Somewhat.

Instead of a smartphone (or even a dumb phone), the Banana Phone is a Bluetooth-enabled device that merely connects to your smartphone. In other words, yes, you can take calls on a banana.

The device isn’t a new one, either. The Banana Phone was first developed in 2017 through an Indiegogo campaign. However, The Verge has spotted a new one already in the works.

According to the founder himself, the upcoming Banana Phone will come with a loudspeaker built for music playback. If the mood takes you, you can actually play the original “Banana Phone” video through an actual Banana Phone. We’re living the dream.

Besides the loudspeaker, the new model will come with a bigger battery, capable of up to 20 hours of usage. Despite the upgrade, the Banana Phone will still have the same US$ 39.99 price tag.

Currently, the new model is still unavailable on the Banana Phone’s official site. However, it will likely launch sometime around the end of November.

The new Google Pixel Buds have officially been unveiled but we won’t get our hands on them until Spring 2020.

Google says the Pixel Buds were designed with the user in mind. It is truly wireless and promises rich sound, clear calls, and a comfortable fit. The company notes how it’s great hardware made exceptional by having Google deeply embedded into it. For instance, it should help you in your out-of-the-country trips with Google Translate built in.

The new Pixel Buds are supposed to last for five hours of continuous playback and extend that to 24 hours through the wireless charging case. The headphones will retail for US$ 179.

Your dreams of carrying an actual Pokédex is still just a dream. This iPhone case by Premium Bandai is the next best thing.

It’s officially called the Pokédex Smartphone Case, but it’s only really made for the iPhone X and iPhone XS. You should be able to fit the iPhone 6, 7, and 8 in here but it will cover mic and the flashlight. Unfortunately, this won’t fit the iPhone 11 at all.
