Logitech Flip Folio for iPadLogitech

Logitech Flip Folio

Logitech’s new Flip Folio is a case that fits both the iPad Pro and iPad Air, available in two sizes to accommodate Apple’s 11-inch and 13-inch tablets. It works like any folio case, protecting the back and front of the iPad while you travel, while also folding back on itself into a multi-angle kickstand to prop up the screen. The unique thing about the Flip Folio is that it comes with a slim wireless keyboard, which, when not in use, magnetically attaches to the back of the case. It’s available in four different color options.

Nitecore’s EDC37 is a little smaller than an iPhone — about the size of a pack of Twix candy bars — yet it packs a whopping 8,000-lumen output. For reference, flood lights typically range from 1,600 to 4,000 lumens, making this as powerful as at least two, yet it fits in the palm of your hand. As if that’s not enough, it’s also USB-C rechargeable, has six lighting modes (plus strobe) and more.

On the inside, it has three compartments — one of which includes two padded sleeves for your laptop and tablet — that have a gold lining for easy visibility. It’s available in four different color options.
