When texting outside on a sunny day, you might barely be able to read the screen when it comes to glare. You can also prevent others from reading your messages or seeing what site you are on with myFlipShade.
myFlipShade slides onto the top of a smartphone and stays in place using a durable adhesive strip. The shade neatly tucks behind the phone when not in use and easily flips around when
needed to prevent glare, weather, or pesky eyes. The thin profile of the shade doesn’t add bulk and is compatible with cases and other phone accessories like credit card holders and stands, but the myFlipShade itself can be used to prop up a smartphone to watch videos as well. You can even charge wirelessly without removing your myFlipShade.

When traveling we all want to get the perfect photo. If you are like me, you don’t want to be lugging around a huge camera. Sony has you figured out by offering the new RX100 V The premium 1.0-type sensor compact camera with superior AF performance.

Not all headphones are created equal. You want to make sure you are finding the right headphones for your needs.
For in-ear models, check to ensure there are at least 3 pairs of ear tips to ensure a proper fit. If you’re using headphones for working out, make sure rated IPX4 or higher to make them sweatproof.
If you prefer a headphone for traveling or everyday use check out Sony’s 1000XM2 Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones with Smart Listening by Adaptive Sound Control automatically detects your activity such as traveling, walking, and waiting, then adjusts ambient sound settings to you. You can customize them to your preferences with the Sony I Headphones Connect APP.
For the more athletic style choose Sony SP700 N Noise-canceling True-wireless Headphones for Sport.
With several color options to choose from you will be on the track in no time and not getting distracted by outside noise. Fully charged, the headphones give you up to three hours of music playback. While the compact charging case not only keeps your headphones secure but holds a further two full three hour charges letting you power up on the go. That’s up to 9 hours of music playback, so you can keep listening all day.

As long as you have internet access this streaming device is ready to go once you set up an account.
Don’t worry if you don’t like to get on a plane, you can travel to a favorite dream destination with the help of Virtual Reality. Travel without leaving home VR headsets deliver more than just gaming: Take Expedia VR tours of hotel rooms. Plan a staycation. Visit a different locale every night in VR. Place the device over your head and use the hand controls to pick your next travel stop. You will feel like you are right there.
