CE Week 2014 Highlights in NYC


It's back-to-school time, but also back-to-fashion week, as I prepare for some non-stop fashion with the latest tech accessories. It's the perfect time to highlight my favorites from CE Week at the Metropolitan Pavilion/Altman Building from June 23-27th, where I previewed the best of battery packs and case chargers, portable speakers, SD cards and more!

With the Ztylus camera case and lens kit, it's like taking pictures with a digital camera instead of just your smartphone. Although I love my iPhone 5, it doesn't have impressive camera features or capabilities. The sleek camera case protects your phone from scratches and drops and has an integrated foldable kickstand. The lens kit has 4-in-1 interchangeable lenses including a wide- angle lens, super macro lens, circular polarizer filter, and extreme fisheye lens. 

Another popular item you can find at ztylus.com is the OnSlot On-Hot Shoe Cleaner which attaches to the hot shoe of your camera. The microfiber cleaning pad removes smudges, dust, oil and grease from your LCD screen.


Mimoco showcased their new MimoPowerBot - character-based universal backup battery for smartphones and tablets. I'm really excited about the Star Wars X MimoPowerBots, featuring Darth Vader and R2-D2, which will be available in November. Mimoco also showcased the MimoPowerTubes. These portable chargers are fun and stylish, like one of my favorites - Powersavers


Kensington iPad and tablet keyboard cases






The Thinium Charge is ultra-slim, portable wall charger that provides a quick 1 AMP charge directly from a wall outlet, laptop, computer or USB source without the hassle of cables.



Fashionable PowerPacks from PNY with a soft leather feel and thin, lightweight design

Sodacase Customizable iPhone 5 Cases


During CE Week, I had a chance to check out Sodacase designs and cases. I am really impressed with their unique printing technique in which their designs are printed directly onto the plastic case, creating a raised print and embossed feel. It's stylish and functional, as the embossed pattern makes the case easier to grip and prevent slipping and dropping, with resistance to fading and scratches. Each case also comes with a matching microfiber for cleaning your phone, iPad, or sunglasses. 

You can even customize your own case with one of Sodacase's patterns or by uploading your own pattern or image from facebook or instagram. I customized my own iPhone 5 case, by uploading a signature ink and watercolor print by my cousin, artist Jayson Atienza. You may recognize Jayson's designs from his most recent shoe collaboration with Bucketfeet, currently available at treasure & bond. My customized case also arrived with the matching microfiber cloth. 

You can shop available cases at sodacase.com, or customize your own here. If you decide to customize your own case, you can get $10.00 off by applying code SHOW2013 at checkout. I'm so happy with the quality of these cases, I'm sure I'll be getting another one soon, since I can never have enough iPhone cases. My favorite of Sodacase's featured designs is the Red Purple Hibiscus Case - Duchess Prescott Case.
