Here’s Tiny Travel Speaker With Big Sound.
It’s the Ewa A106 Mini Bluetooth Speaker. (Sometimes the word PRO is added to the description on Amazon.) I found out about this mini Bluetooth speaker from the popular Johnny Jet newsletter. I thought it would be fun to buy and try one since the price was under $18 when I bought mine! The Ewa A106 Pro mini speaker is indeed small but the sound is bigger than one might expect. it’s Bluetooth only and it feels very well built. It’s IP67 Waterproof too. A micro USB charging cable is included. You also get a metal hook and carrying case. The case has a sort of speaker grill and hook, so you can use the hook to hang it on a bike, backpack, etc. The company says the built-in Lithium-Polymer battery offers up to 8 hours play time. A half an hour of charge time with 1A charger equals 2 Hours of play time. There is no microphone, or 3.5mm jack, just one silicone button for on/ off, and charging indication. If you need a small BT speaker, this one is a good choice to my mind and ears. It was about $17.00 on 5/16/22, but that could change at any time.

Yes, A Very Strange Gadget Indeed!
It’s the Phone Mini-Umbrella & Holder Yes, it’s a tiny phone parasol with a suction cup holder! Open the tiny umbrella, apply the suction cup to the back of your phone and adjust it to act as sun shade visor to block sunlight and glare. It’s also great if you need to use your phone outdoors in a rain storm, or even in public where you don’t want people to see what’s on your phone screen. Yes, you’ll look a big strange, but it does work after a bit of adjusting. It’s available in many colors on Amazon. I bought black. It’s under $20.

When You See How This Cube Works, You’ll Say “WOW” too.
WOWCube is pretty amazing. A 12 year old boy asked his dad why you can only play video games in 2-D, so they invented a cube with 24 LCD screens and eight mini-modules for a real immersive experience. Play games by flipping & spinning the cubes! You can not play some game you know and love, but in the future you’ll be able design your own game, or build an app for the WOWcube. Originally it was going to be called CubiOS, but everyone who saw how it worked would say: WOW! So it became the WOWCube!
Preorder early bird pricing is said to $250, for a limited time. Delivery of the WOWCube will be in the fall. You can find out more at their website.
