The iconic Lady Dior handbag, a symbol of timeless elegance, has been given a radical and mesmerizing transformation by Belgian designer Isaac Monté. In a project commissioned by Dior for their new Vienna flagship, Monté has applied his signature crystallization process to these coveted accessories, turning them into unique, glimmering artifacts. This collaboration, showcased by Spazio Nobile gallery, highlights the fascinating intersection of high fashion and material experimentation.

Designer: Isaac Monté

Monté’s “Crystallized” series is an ongoing exploration that began with vases and has now extended to the windows of Dior boutiques and the Lady Dior itself. The inspiration behind this series lies in the natural beauty of stalagmites and other mineral formations. Monté views time as a crucial element in his sculptural process, allowing each piece to develop organically based on the chemical reactions within its environment. The process of crystallizing the Lady Dior handbags is described as painstaking, involving the meticulous layering of minerals and oxides. This technique, honed by Monté over a decade, allows him to create faceted surfaces that are both bold and delicate. The resulting texture and sheen shift with the light, giving the handbags the appearance of being adorned with natural gemstones.

A key aspect of Monté’s work is the embrace of natural intervention. Unlike traditional manufacturing processes that rely on molds or machines, each crystallized Lady Dior grows uniquely. This means that no two handbags are alike in terms of color, structure, or surface finish. This inherent unpredictability and singularity are central to the philosophical underpinnings of Monté’s art. “It’s about patience,” the artist explains. “About letting nature intervene in the act of making.” This philosophy stands in stark contrast to the fast-paced world of fashion, where replication and standardization are often the norm. Monté’s work with Dior invites a slower, more contemplative appreciation of the objects, emphasizing the beauty of natural processes and the passage of time.

By treating the Lady Dior as a piece of “living architecture,” Monté has elevated the handbag beyond its functional purpose. The crystallized surfaces evoke a sense of history and geological wonder, transforming a fashion icon into a unique work of art. This collaboration between Isaac Monté and Dior, facilitated by Spazio Nobile, demonstrates how material experimentation and an appreciation for natural processes can lead to breathtakingly beautiful and thought-provoking results. The crystallized Lady Dior handbags are not merely display objects; they are visceral testaments to the alchemical power of time and nature’s artistry.

I’ve heard of people taking meetings from the backseat of their car, but what the Caro is proposing is pretty wild – turning your driver seat into a makeshift desk for quick in-car productivity. Designed as a stand that locks into your steering wheel and gives you a tabletop surface, the Caro Stand & Table lets you turn your driver seat into a makeshift table for pretty much anything. Work on emails, take quick meetings, watch a movie, get stuff done on road trips, create content on-the-go, heck you can even eat an entire meal on the stand’s tabletop accessory so you don’t accidentally get barbecue sauce on your pants because you kept your food on your lap. The idea, as bizarre as it sounds, is perfect for a whole variety of scenarios – especially for remote work, road trips, city commutes, on-the-go content creation, or just anyone who needs to quickly get stuff done between car rides whether it’s checking a document or checking your make-up.

Think about it – your car seat is nothing more than a comfortable chair – so why not have a table along with it? That’s what the Caro Stand & Table sort of addresses. When parked, the stand slips right into your steering wheel, locking into place so you can dock a laptop with near-perfect precision and work from your seat without moving. Want to ditch the laptop for your Chipotle bowl and Jamba Juice shake? The Caro Stand has a four-part folding table that locks into place, giving you a perfect place to eat a meal, place a Nintendo Switch, or even work with a laptop and a mouse on the side. Necessary? Well, maybe. Genius? Absolutely.

Car desks have existed for a while now, but search the internet and you’ll see how childish they look. Designed to feel like the kind of tray attached to a child’s high chair, these are mostly designed for holding food and drinks – anything else feels weirdly out of place. The Caro, on the other hand, is designed differently. A minimal, foldable, slick device, the Caro opens up and locks into your steering wheel, giving you a very stable place to dock your laptop. The metal design feels intentional – it’s strong, dissipates heat, and allows the Caro to be very compact. You can dock your laptop in a variety of angles, or ditch the laptop entirely to dock a four-part table that turns your car into anything you want it to be – a dinner table, a vanity table, a place to get a quick nap – it’s entirely your choice.

The Caro Stand is rather clever, with its tiny, yet hyper-adjustable form factor. Sort of like one of those laptop stands you’d use on your desk, the Caro Stand is optimized for your steering unit. It unfolds, locks into your steering wheel, and rests against the housing of the steering shaft. The base of the Caro Stand can then rest a laptop on it securely, going from anything as small as an 11″ tablet to a mammoth 18″ laptop.

Why not just place the laptop on your lap instead? You could, but anyone who’s tried actually working that way will tell you that the Laptop (despite its name), isn’t really comfortable on the lap. Your neck bends too low, the laptop heats your thighs, and your eyes get strained because of the angle. It isn’t ergonomic at all – which is why most desks are at least a good 6-inches higher than the average lap. The Caro Stand does that too, stably balancing your laptop on the same level as your steering wheel. This is perfect because your neck is used to looking at the steering wheel or the speedometer behind it, and your hands are used to the angle of the wheel itself.

Studs let you adjust your laptop, so you’re not limited to just one angle. Sit the laptop flat for the basic version, angle it once and you have an even more ergonomic setup with a lifted display, and angle it further and you can actually slide a keyboard in and work in ways that you wouldn’t even think possible with existing car desks. If you want to take your setup even further, the Caro Stand supports dual-monitor use, simply by allowing you to tilt your laptop upwards and fit an extra portable monitor in place (like the setup shown below).

If the stand isn’t enough, the foldable table is Caro’s pièce de résistance. It locks into the stand and folds out into a versatile table that you can use for pretty much anything. The table’s four-part design means you can fold out half the table if you want a compact space at just 13.1″ wide. Open the panels further and it goes up to 23.4″, while being 8.2″ deep.

The table sits perfectly flat and has a fairly matte surface that prevents items from sliding around. It also holds a respectable 33lbs (15kg) of weight, so you could easily use it to place your work setup, your lunch spread, or even vlogging gear in case you’re the kind to vlog from your car. Moreover, integrated supports in the center hinge let you angle-adjust your laptop even on the table, giving you a perfect combination of ergonomics and space efficiency.

A fair warning: the Caro clearly isn’t meant to be used while the car’s on. It locks INTO the steering wheel, which nobody should do while the car’s running or not parked. It does, however, allow you to freely enter and exit your car without needing to disassemble your setup (so you can pop out for a quick break or grab an extra soda from the drive-thru restaurant).

The Caro’s parts are designed to be compact and resilient, docking into the steering wheel with silicone pads that prevent the wheel’s leather from getting damaged, as well as around the laptop docking section to prevent scratches on your device. That being said, it fits most steering wheels and even yokes and should work with almost every car. For pretty much anyone who needs a quick workspace between home and the office, the Caro Stand & Table offers a great alternative to scrambling and struggling with your laptop or your lunch in your car. When all’s said and done, the entire thing folds into a compact format small enough to fit into your glove box. Pretty smart, no?

As anticipation builds for the release of Bethesda and id Software’s Doom: The Dark Ages, Xbox has unveiled a new line of limited-edition accessories that are sure to get any Slayer’s heart pounding. Leading the charge are two stunning, Doom-themed controllers designed to immerse you even further in the medieval-futuristic gorefest. If you like your controllers to match the game you’re playing or you just want something that’s cooler than your normal controllers, then it’s something to look forward to.

Designer: Microsoft

For the purists and the armor enthusiasts, the standard Xbox Wireless Controller gets a demonic makeover. Inspired by the Doom Slayer’s iconic armor, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition features a striking matte green finish accented by silver 3D helmet spike designs. Orange details and insignias from Doom: The Dark Ages complete the look, while the ABXY buttons are replaced with symbols from the game’s Sentinel alphabet, adding an extra layer of authenticity. Beyond its menacing aesthetics, this controller functions just like a standard Xbox Wireless Controller, offering seamless compatibility with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows PCs (via Bluetooth or USB-C), and cloud gaming services. As a bloody good bonus, each purchase includes a DLC code for the Doom Slayer Executioner skin in Doom: The Dark Ages, letting you customize your in-game appearance. This limited edition controller is slated for release on April 30th and is priced at $79.99 USD or £74.99 GBP.

For those who demand the very best in performance and customization, the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 is also receiving a Doom-inspired treatment. This premium controller boasts a more sinister red and black color scheme, with transparent red sections allowing you to glimpse the internal components. The iconic Doom Slayer’s insignia takes center stage, proudly displayed in the middle of the controller. As a Microsoft Store exclusive launching on April 25th, this Elite controller offers the same high-end features players have come to expect, including customizable thumbsticks, adjustable triggers, and a suite of button mapping options. While pricing details specific to this edition are still emerging, expect it to be in line with the standard Elite Series 2 controller.

The Doom-themed love doesn’t stop at controllers. Xbox is also releasing a limited-edition Xbox Series X Console Wrap – Doom: The Dark Ages Limited Edition. This wrap allows you to emblazon your console with the mark of the Slayer, featuring artwork that complements the controller designs. This is available exclusively through the Microsoft Store for a limited time, priced at £49.99 GBP. Remember to remove the wrap before handling the console! For eager fans, pre-orders for both the standard and Elite Doom: The Dark Ages controllers, as well as the console wrap, are already live at various retailers, including the Microsoft Store and Amazon. With Doom: The Dark Ages set to launch on May 15th, these accessories are the perfect way to prepare for the demonic onslaught and showcase your Slayer pride.

Wireless technology gets all the hype these days, but the truth is, plugging in with a cable is still the gold standard for speed and stability, especially when you’re relying on CarPlay for navigation or tunes. The trouble is, your average cable is never built to last. Too many end up tossed in the bin after a few months, thanks to wear and tear or a spaghetti mess in your glove box.

Beats by Dre is making moves beyond the world of headphones, and this time, they’re entering the not-so-glamorous but absolutely essential realm of charging and data cables. For anyone who’s ever dealt with frayed wires, hopeless tangles, or cables that mysteriously stop working just when you need them most, the appeal of something sturdier is obvious. If you’re a CarPlay user, there’s even more reason to pay attention.

Designer: Beats by Dre

What makes the new Beats woven USB-C cables genuinely interesting is how they address these classic cable woes. The braided design is not just for looks; it’s meant to thwart those annoying tangles and keep the cable protected against rough handling. If you’re always on the go, plugging in devices in the car, or moving between home and the office, this kind of durability is a serious upgrade.

Here’s where things get especially good for Apple enthusiasts. Older vehicles with CarPlay often stick with good old USB-A inputs, while the latest iPhones have jumped to USB-C. Apple hasn’t offered its own USB-C to USB-A cable, leaving a gaping hole in the experience for anyone loyal to first-party accessories. Now, with Beats stepping in, fans can finally get a cable by a brand in the Apple family, starting at $18.99.

But don’t think these cables are only for CarPlay. The Beats lineup covers several combos: USB-C to USB-C, USB-C to USB-A, and USB-C to Lightning. They support up to 60W fast charging and USB 2.0 data speeds, which is plenty for most tasks, though you’ll want something else for video output. Plus, with color options like Rapid Red and Nitro Navy, they’ll fit right in with other Beats gear and look way cooler than the usual plain white.

More than just making another cable, Beats is solving a bunch of real-world problems for Apple fans and CarPlay users, all while adding a splash of style. Of course, you get bonus points if you use these cables to charge Beats’ own headphones and speakers. If you’ve ever been frustrated by flimsy cables or mismatched ports, this might be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.

Whether you’re trekking through the woods or rushing between meetings, carrying a full toolbox rarely makes sense. Enter the compact 5-in-1 EDC multi-tool, a keychain-sized companion built to turn the ordinary keyring into a resourceful sidekick. It’s easy to overlook just how much adventure or utility can be packed into something that barely weighs down your pocket.

The thrill of everyday preparedness finds its embodiment in this clever gadget. Designed for those who like their gear reliable and within reach, this pocket-sized tool brings peace of mind whether you’re hiking mountain trails or simply handling a stubborn package at home. It doesn’t just sit among your keys, it brings a spark of readiness to your daily routine.

At the heart of this multi-tool is a magnetic driver that holds a double-sided bit. Switch between a ¼-inch flathead and a Phillips bit to tackle all sorts of screws, from wobbly cabinet doors to quick fixes out in the wild. No need to hunt for a screwdriver or rush home. The solution is right there on your keychain, ready to leap into action whenever you need it.

For the tasks that demand a bit more muscle, the built-in prybar comes into play. Whether it’s lifting a stubborn lid, scraping old stickers, or even opening a paint can in a pinch, this feature saves the day with minimal fuss. The sturdy steel construction makes quick work of chores that would otherwise require bulkier tools.

Daily life throws plenty of small challenges your way, like slicing through tough packaging tape or breaking into the mountain of mail that seems to arrive all at once. The dedicated package opener is sharp and precise, giving you access to your latest deliveries or mail without tearing up your hands or dulling your knives. It’s the tiny hero for stubborn boxes and envelopes.

Of course, all that hard work deserves a reward, and this multi-tool doesn’t disappoint. The integrated bottle opener is always ready, a small but vital luxury for outdoor gatherings or fireside evenings with friends. With a flick of the wrist, you’re prepared to toast new adventures or celebrate simple victories, wherever the road takes you.

Its travel-friendly design ensures this keychain multi-tool is welcome on your daily journeys. Lightweight and low-profile, it’s easy to forget you’re carrying it until the moment you need it most. For handymen, outdoor enthusiasts, and those who treasure everyday preparedness, this 5-in-1 tool is proof that big possibilities really do come in small packages.

Anyone who spends a lot of time working on a computer will tell you the mouse is almost an extension of their hand. Even with the constant improvements in trackpads, many still return to a trusty mouse for precision and comfort, or at least that’s the idea. The truth is, the traditional mouse design was never really about comfort, and most of us are just used to its familiar, flat shape.

That’s changing, though, as more people realize that using a standard mouse day in and day out isn’t exactly great for your body. Some designers have started pushing the boundaries, reimagining the mouse so much that it sometimes hardly resembles the device we’ve known for decades. The most popular newcomer is the vertical mouse, and now Keychron, more famous for its keyboards, is introducing its own take on this ergonomic trend with the wireless M5.

Designer: Keychron

Traditional mice force your hand into a palm-down position, twisting your forearm in a way that doesn’t come naturally. Over time, that small twist adds up, leading to repetitive strain injuries and sometimes more serious issues like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The idea behind vertical mice is to let your hand rest in a more neutral, handshake-like position. With the Keychron M5, your wrist is angled naturally, promising less strain during those long hours of scrolling, clicking, and dragging.

Keychron brings some unique touches to the M5 that help set it apart from the rest of the vertical mouse crowd. One of the standout features is a thumb scroll wheel positioned opposite the usual finger scroll. It’s a simple addition, but giving your thumb an active role instead of letting it rest idly can make navigation smoother and reduce the load on your index and middle fingers. This is especially noticeable if you’re moving through massive spreadsheets or long documents.

The versatility of the M5’s connectivity options is another strong point. It works via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, or a direct wired connection. But there’s also a bonus: a USB-C to USB-A cable lets you plug in the wireless receiver even if your computer’s USB ports are hidden away, which is handy for those with tidy cable management setups or desktops tucked out of reach. This little touch makes it more practical for a variety of workspaces, whether you’re in the office or working from home.

Beyond ergonomics and connectivity, the M5’s pricing is appealing. At $69.99, it’s far more accessible than many other vertical mice with similar features. For someone curious about switching to a vertical mouse but turned off by higher price tags, this strikes a fine balance between quality, functionality, and affordability, making it an easy entry point for anyone looking to protect their wrists without dealing with sticker shock.

Skullcandy’s Method 360 ANC earbuds are shaking up the wireless audio scene, not just in terms of sound, but in how you express yourself every time you pop a pair in your ears. With headphone jacks having all but vanished from smartphones, wireless earbuds have become nearly as essential as the phones themselves. It’s practically a rite of passage to misplace a bud or case, leading many to own several pairs at once just to keep up with their on-the-go routines.

Choice is rapidly becoming the name of the game, and not only when it comes to features. Nowadays, earbuds are an extension of personal taste, a way to broadcast your style as confidently as you curate your playlists. Skullcandy has made this a mission, revamping its visual design language to set itself apart from the monochrome monotony. A quick glance at the Method 360 ANC’s color palette drives the point home: there’s vibrant Red for extra flash, Primer for those who prefer warm earthy vibes, and Leopard for an eye-catching, wild touch you won’t find elsewhere.

Designer: Skullcandy

The case for these buds is generously sized compared to some rivals, but there’s a method to the madness. The size is deliberate, inviting owners to let it peek out of bags or pockets instead of hiding it away. The integrated O-ring makes it even easier to hang it on bags and belts for everyone to see. These finishes are unapologetically bold, and the overall build quality hints at durability that can withstand everyday hustle. Skullcandy’s roots in bold, street-ready aesthetics definitely show, offering a fun twist for anyone tired of bland tech accessories.

Design, however, is only half of the story. The Method 360 ANC partners with Bose, a brand that has long been revered by audiophiles and casual listeners alike. Exact partnership details remain under wraps, but having the “Sound by Bose” promise attached is something of a mic-drop moment. Fans of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds will even spot the familiar stabilizing fins, which help these buds nestle snugly for jogging, commuting, or losing yourself in your favorite album.

Active noise cancellation is a huge part of the appeal, and that’s where the Bose influence really shines. Whether drowning out the din of public transport or blocking the chitchat of your local coffee shop, these earbuds get the job done. Battery life stands just as tall, clocking up to 40 hours with the combined charge of buds and case, impressive stamina for long days and spontaneous adventures.

Skullcandy packs all these touches into a competitively priced package. The Method 360 ANC comes in at $129.99, but early shoppers can grab them for just $99, offering both premium features and hassle-free buying. For anyone craving audio engineered by industry leaders without giving up personality or playful design, these earbuds make a persuasive case for being your new daily essential. The Skullcandy Method 360 ANC with Sound by Bose lets listeners double down on both fidelity and flair, transforming the daily ritual of plugging in music into a genuine style statement.

Working with a single screen feels increasingly limiting in today’s digital landscape. Whether you’re coding, designing, analyzing data, or simply managing multiple applications, the constant window-switching dance hampers productivity and focus. Enter the DUEX Float 2.0 and DUEX Float PRO, revolutionary portable monitors that transform how we work and play on the go, offering expanded screen real estate without sacrificing mobility or convenience.

The latest evolution in Mobile Pixels’ portable monitor lineup addresses the fundamental challenge of modern computing: how to maximize productivity without being tied to a desk. Both models feature a clever stacked design that attaches seamlessly to your laptop, creating an ergonomic dual-screen setup that moves with you. At 33% lighter than previous versions, these monitors finally deliver on the promise of truly portable multi-screen computing without the bulk that typically accompanies extra displays.

The standard DUEX Float 2.0 impresses with its 15.6-inch Full HD display, offering crisp visuals for everyday tasks. But the real showstopper is the DUEX Float PRO, sporting a stunning 16-inch 2.5K (2560×1600) screen with 100% sRGB color accuracy and a 120Hz refresh rate. Creative professionals will appreciate the PRO’s enhanced contrast ratio of 1200:1 and impressive 350 cm/m² brightness, making color-critical work possible even when away from your primary workspace.

Both models feature built-in stereo speakers that deliver surprisingly robust audio for video calls, presentations, and entertainment. This eliminates the need for external speakers in many scenarios or relying on your laptop’s mediocre speaker, further streamlining your mobile setup. The integrated audio combined with the high-resolution display creates an immersive experience that transforms everything from client presentations to after-hours Netflix sessions.

With three distinct viewing modes to match your environment and task, the DUEX Float 2.0 and PRO are designed to meet your needs anywhere you go. Stacked mode positions the screen directly above your laptop display, creating an ergonomic vertical arrangement that reduces neck strain during long work sessions. Presentation mode extends your workspace horizontally, perfect for sharing content with others across the table, while freestanding mode utilizes the built-in kickstand for flexible positioning when desk space allows.

Connectivity couldn’t be simpler with true plug-and-play functionality across multiple operating systems. The monitors work instantly with MacOS, iOS (iPhone 15 and newer), Windows, ChromeOS, and Android (Samsung DeX) via USB-C connection. No drivers, no configuration hassles: just connect and get to work. The 65W USB-C pass-through charging is particularly clever, allowing you to power both your laptop and the monitor with a single cable.

The DUEX Float lineup shines for specific user groups. Business professionals can seamlessly present data while maintaining access to notes or reference materials. Creative professionals benefit from the PRO’s color accuracy and precision. Frequent travelers appreciate the lightweight design that fits easily in a laptop bag. Gamers enjoy responsive visuals with the PRO’s 120Hz refresh rate, while students can create distraction-free workspaces anywhere on campus.

Eye health hasn’t been overlooked either. Both models feature anti-glare displays and adjustable viewing angles that reduce eye strain during extended use. This attention to physical comfort, combined with the ergonomic positioning options, means you can work longer and more comfortably without the fatigue that often accompanies marathon computing sessions.

The DUEX Float 2.0 and DUEX Float PRO represent a significant leap forward in portable monitor technology. They deliver on the dual-screen promise without compromise, offering genuine productivity enhancements that adapt to your environment rather than forcing you to adapt to them. For professionals who value both mobility and screen real estate, these monitors provide the perfect balance of functionality, quality, and convenience.

Whenever I think I need to buy new clothes, I just have to look into my cabinet and around my room to realize that I may not have any more space if I actually buy more. My closet is bursting and I have some pieces lying around since there’s no more space there. So I’m always on the lookout for storage ideas and accessories so I can fix my room (or so I can buy more clothes? I don’t know). Fortunately, there are a lot of concepts and actual products out there that may help people like me have some sort of organization when it comes to clothes.

Designer: BKID co

The Triangle Hanger is a concept for a coat hanger that caught my interest, not because it can solve my storage problems but it can be a pretty-looking option to hang some of my clothes on. Normally a triangle isn’t the shape that you would associate with an accessory like a coat hanger but it is in fact one of the most structurally stable shapes you can use. Aside from giving strength and balance, it also gives off a modern and sleek aesthetic.

The coat hanger uses a “uniquely designed triangular structure” that is actually made from bent rebar. This material has an industrial appeal but by combining it with elegant curves, you get a minimalist and visually pleasing accessory that you can use to hang your coats, hats, bags, and other small pieces of clothing and accessories. Since it also has an open structure, you can also blend it into whatever space you want to put it into. There is a circular wooden tray in the middle so you can put small things in it, especially those you don’t want to forget since you can see it easily. There are also some wooden pieces in the structure itself, probably to provide more stability.

While the Triangle Hanger from BKID co might not magically expand your closet space, its thoughtful design offers a stylish and functional way to keep frequently used items organized and visible. The blend of industrial rebar with elegant curves and the addition of a central wooden tray elevates this simple accessory into a visually appealing piece that could bring a touch of modern minimalism to any room, even one already filled to the brim. Perhaps it’s not about buying less, but about finding smarter, more beautiful ways to live with the clothes we love.

Whether you choose an Apple AirTag or a Google Find My Device compatible Bluetooth item tracker, one thing is common, it will work with a dedicated network. If you want a tracking device that can work across both platforms – because you are someone who regularly switches between an iPhone or Android device – the choices are limited: Tile may be one, but I cannot think of any other at the moment.

Now that we are at it, an ideal cross-platform solution on the horizon is the Chipolo Pop. Launched recently, the item tracker is a compact coin-sized device, with a built-in key ring hole, that can work with both the Apple Find My and Google Find My Device networks out of the box. Available in several colors and a choice of matching key ring color, the Chipolo Pop is precisely the colorful tracking device that you would want.

Designer: Chipolo

Designed like the other tracking devices, to keep track of your keys, bag, luggage, and more, the Chipolo Pop is a round tracking device. The little thing measures only 38.8 millimeters in diameter and comes in blue, yellow, red, green, black, and white color options to choose from. Despite the petite size, it has a key ring hole – to attach the device to a range of items – which can be matched to the color of the tracker for more symmetry and vibrance.

The tracker along with dual network compatibility also receives an improved 120dB speaker, for very loud alerts, and a companion app to provide you with more finding superpowers. Chipolo has some interesting trackers already in its range, but all are dedicated to either network, Pop is the company’s first attempt at a universal solution, but it comes with a catch. The device can either be set up with the Find My app on iOS or it can connect with the Google’s Find My Device app on Android; at no point can the Pop work with both the ecosystem at the same time. Choose one network at a time is the mantra.

For more versatility, however, the Chipolo Pop comes paired to a dedicated companion app, which allows the device to be used as a remote camera shutter for your connected smartphone. In addition, it offers Call Your Phone feature that triggers by pressing the tracker twice and rings your misplaced phone even if it’s set on silent mode. When you’re feeling playful, you can use the app to customize the alert tone on the Pop.

Powered by a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery, the Chipolo Pop with a Bluetooth range of up to 300 feet, comes in an IP55 rated body for water and dust resistance. It is currently available at $29 for a single unit. You can opt for a pack of four, which would cost you $89. The Pop is available through Amazon and is also selling on the company website where a pack of six of these trackers is going for $121 at the time of writing.
