Chad's Crappy Corner!

The theme for Chad’s gadgets for the month of November is Stocking Stuffers For The Holidays. Chad has two gadgets today. Here said he’ll be doing a more substantial higher priced gadget, and one little cheap gadget. And here they are, expensive one first: 

Dock+ for iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and all Apple Lightning devices. This will be in the Brick House so I won’t see it in person, but here's what their website says about it: Constructed of a single piece of solid steel, Dock+ is different from the rest. Featuring one-handed easy lift-off, a premium powder coated surface finish, and compatibility with almost any case on the market, dock+ is the dock, reinvented. Each Dock+ is made in Boulder Colorado, at the base of the Rocky Mountains. It is the result of a successfully crowd-funding campaign that raised over $100,000 in December of 2012. Price is listed as $90, but it’s sold out for right now. (11/20/14) But you can ask to be notified when it's back in stock.

And Chad’s take?  Chad said the Dock+ is one heavy dock! It weighs about two pounds so there's no fear you'll actually pick it up when you're trying only to take your iPhone off the base. And the cable management system can accommodate an iPhone, even in its case. The downside? The price. $90! Even at that price it's sold out, but you can check the Dock+ website for the latest info on availability. 

Chad’s cheapie item is Macbook Keyboard Super Hero Skin / Vinyl Decals. 

Here’s what Amazon says about them: These are vinyl laminated skins, individually cut for each key. Not to be confused with silicon or rubber skins, although a clear silicone skin / cover will work over top of our skins/ decals. Decals for your Apple Keyboards. Modeled after some of the greatest heroes and villains of all time. Apple Wireless and Macbook keyboard Skin. Fits all Macbook keyboards, with the exception of the Mackbook 11" Air. Does not interfere with the backlit keys that some Macbooks have.  

And Chad’s take? Chad thought these were great fun. I asked if they would come off easily if you changed your mind about liking them, and Chad showed us they're stuck on the keys quite well. The company makes a variety of keyboard stickers, but they're only for MAC computers. Chad liked them and suggested people do a web search for KillerDuckDecals to see all the variations. Chad said the price was good too, under $15 with shipping. NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
