Eyewear, tablets and smartphones are part of our daily lives. Chances are, you had to wipe them clean at least once or twice when you’re on the go and you had nothing but your shirt to clean them with, which only makes the smudges worse. If that happens to you often, you need Declan Squared. These ultra-stylish microfiber pocket squares and handkerchiefs are simply brilliant. They’ll clean your gear with a simple wipe, no water or cleaner required. You could choose to carry around the tiny microfiber cloth that is included with your glasses or smartphone case, but here’s the thing, that small cloth will never look as good as a Declan Squared. Available in many cool patterns, Declan Squared is not only a handy microfiber handkerchief, it’s a must-have fashion accessory.
You can get your Declan Squared starting at only $5 on Kickstarter.com. You can learn more about Declan Squared at Getdeclan.com
If you’ve always thought the idea of the magic wallet is cool but kind of impractical, I’ve got some great news for you! I have found the most practical, durable and modern magic wallet you can get, which I’ll be reviewing here courtesy of our friends at DOSH.
If you’re not familiar with the concept of a magic wallet, watch the following video of a Dosh Magic Wallet that we’re borrowing from YouTube:
The DOSH Magic Wallet is quite fun, and unlike many other fun products in the world, that does not compromise the quality of it. It is compact in size (105 x 74 x 12mm), very light and is made of superior TPU material that feels nice in hand and is quite durable. The outside features 4 slots that hold 1 card each. On the inside, the straps are of TPU material as well, they’ll hold your cash and receipts securely in place.
I’ve been using this magic wallet by DOSH for around a week or so, and this is how I feel about it so far:
What I like:
- The cool factor! My friends have been quite impressed and they’re still trying to figure out how it really works.
- It’s made of solid material. This wallet won’t tear or break anytime soon. It’s also waterproof.
- It’s very minimal, small in size, and easy to carry in a pocket without crowding it.
What I don’t like:
- The card slots, although they hold the cards securely, I don’t like that in the second slot the card sticks almost half way out.
Overall, I’m quite pleased with the Magic Wallet by DOSH. I knew I was becoming a fan of DOSH products since I reviewed their Syncro iPhone Wallet Reviewing a second product by them confirms their dedication to superior quality, functionality and innovation.
The DOSH Magic Wallet is available in 7 color combinations. You can get yours for $49.95 and get FREE worldwide shipping.
Vintage inspired vertically oriented leather bag for carrying your Macbook 13″ as well as other accessories. Fully padded interior keeps your Macbook safe from any accidental falls or hits. Inner pockets can hold an iPad and any other accessories.

- It has 6 card slots with slanted corners for quicker access to your cards.
- It is the thinnest bi-fold wallet on the market at ONLY 0.35″ thin!
- Patent-pending back pocket for most used cards allows you to use those cards while still in the pocket.
- RFID blocking lining keeps your personal information safe and keeps you protected from RFID identity theft.
- Available in many colors
Apart from the fact that is loaded with cool features, the fact that you can get a wallet of this quality for only $25 makes it quite a steal! You can also have your wallet fully customized (choose the color of the inside, outside and band leather, stitching and your choice of emboss) for only $55.

If you’re not familiar with DOSH, it’s an Australian designer brand that specializes in modern wallets that are minimal in design yet very functional and quite innovative. DOSH wallets aim to help you get rid of any excess baggage and streamline the contents you carry with you, which may count as a small but great change in your daily routine.
Today we’ll be looking at one of DOSH’s newest wallets, the Syncro iPhone 5/5S wallet, which was provided to me by DOSH for this review.
I’ve been using the Syncro wallet with iPhone 5S for about a week now and got a good use of it so far. The wallet is basically a TPU iPhone sleeve with outer pockets on both sides for carrying your credit cards and cash. The TPU material of the wallet is quite solid, it feels soft, it’s water resistant and it should be very durable and can withhold any use and abuse.
The main compartment holds your phone securely in place. It is snug enough that your phone won’t move or accidentally slip out. I’ve shook it quite hard, held it upside down, shook it again and the iPhone remained in place. Yet, when you pull your phone out, it will come out easily. I’m not sure what is happening inside the Syncro that keeps everything tight in place, but it works perfectly.
The external pockets are quite useful, too. It can hold up to 6 cards total, 3 per pocket. It can also hold some cash notes and they’ll fit securely in place. I’ve first tested the pocket with a card then I added another one. Having less than 3 cards in a pocket, the cards will feel loose inside. At first, I thought this could be an issue. However, even though the two cards were loose inside the pocket, they did not fall off when I held the wallet upside down or when I shook it. Because there’s a bit of a hollowness to the pockets, your cards will remain inside and will not slip.
Overall, I’m very pleased with the DOSH Syncro wallet for iPhone 5/5S. I’m quite surprised with how simple the design is and how perfectly it works. It is lightweight and most probably much lighter than your current wallet. The material is of great quality that you don’t have to worry about it wearing out any time soon. It is made in locally in Australia of 100% recyclable material. Like most iPhone wallets, you won’t be able to fit in an iPhone with a case on it. This could be a deal breaker for some people, it’s not an issue for me personally though.
The DOSH Syncro Wallet is available in 8 colors. You can buy it for $69.95 with free worldwide delivery at doshbrand.com.
