Blade Tech Introduces iPhone Holster

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

Many iPhone users use iPhone covers from Magpul, Otter Box and Strike Industries to protect their investment. Unfortunately, these covers aren’t designed to be worn on the belt and commercially available holsters won’t accommodate these covers. Blade Tech saw what was going on and introduced the smartphone holster. It accepts your iPhone, case and all.

You get a customized holster based on your selection of belt loop width or Tek-Lock alternative and type of iPhone case. To order visit www.blade-tech.com.

iPhone Boom Mic

Sunday, April 8th, 2012

The iPhone already shoots HD video but let’s face it, the microphone isn’t exactly on the same level as the camera.

The iPhone Boom Mic connects to your audio jack. Even when fitted with a case. It’s super-directional setting helps focus in on the sounds you want to record. The mic uses a single AAA battery that fits in the shotgun style body.

Blast From The Past – The Chinese Entrenching Tool

Saturday, March 24th, 2012

This may prove to be the most entertaining 8:46 of your life, or the most terrifying if you consider the Chinese horde all armed to the teeth with these shovels. It slices, it dices, it juliennes. Truth be told, a couple of the features such as the “scissor” and nail puller are pretty cool, but music and effects make this one worth the price of admission. Make sure you stay long enough to see the entrenching tool museum.

The Survivor Split

Monday, March 19th, 2012

Every Third Thursday Signal Snowboards builds a new creation. This past week, it was the Survivor Split, definitely a snowboard fit for the likes of 007.

It separates into two individual skis for traversing flat snow-covered surfaces and also has a third-section that can be used as a long-handled shovel for digging. But it’s about more than just mobility. Signal secreted a saw blade into one of the skis. They’ve also added a strip of flint along one edge for fire starting.
