Who wouldn’t love a cup of fresh pressed coffee that stays hot forever and without getting any bitter?! That is exactly what Impress coffee brewer promises. It reminds me of the Bodum French Press travel mug, though the way Impress filters the coffee looks way better and is certainly impressive. The two-piece brewer does not use a mechanical plunger, which means no mess and less cleaning, and the double walled stainless steel cup will hold the temperature of your coffee for a long time. Watch the video to see Impress in action:

The Impress is still in funding phase on Kickstarter. By pledging $40 you’ll be pre-ordering your Impress brewer. Buy it here

Kapow! takes place in the thick of the Arab Spring, guided by the highspeed monologue of an unnamed narrator – over-doped, over-caffeinated, over-weight – trying to make sense of this history in real time: with 24 hour broadcasts, YouTube films, lesbian bars in London’s East End and far too many newspaper clippings. A clever, funny and bitingly critical cultural commentary, using spinning digressions to tell the stories of a group of interconnected characters in London and Egypt, each transformed by the idea of revolution.

What’s really interesting about this book is not only the story, but how the book is made. Readers are invited to unfold long fold-out pages, and follow text that is written in different directions – sometimes leaking out of the page. It is certainly a new and fun way to read a book and follow a story.  Buy it here [images source]

Like I mentioned in the SigniCASE Natural Amplifier review post, I had another SigniCASE product for a review, and that is the M9 Camera iPhone Case. For people who are still not quite ready to upgrade to a new iPhone, this is a nice case to consider.

SigniCASE’s M9 iPhone case is made of bamboo, and it is engraved to add a camera’s details to the case. The engraving is quite impressive, it’s not just engraved lines on the case, it’s very detailed with a 3D effect to it.

The case fits your iPhone snugly, it’s the kind of case that you slide into your phone. It’s constructed of two halves, the phone slides to the top half, then you slide in the bottom half. On the inside, the two halves have suede padding so you don’t have to worry about scratching your iPhone.

The case does make your iPhone a little bulky. And while it looks very nice, I’m not sure of how protective it is. I did have a little issue with it (it was totally my fault, though)… I had a small ring around the iPhone’s camera for a magnetic lens, so when I slid in the top half of the case it cracked a little on the top. The good news it, the crack doesn’t even show, and when I removed the ring, the case held together like new.

Overall, I’m quite happy with this case, I just  love the camera look it gives my iPhone.

SigniCase is a company specialized in creating all-natural wood cases for iPhones, iPods, iPads and Galaxy Note and S3. Those wood cases are available as plain or engraved with designs, either pre-made or you can make your own design.

I’ll be reviewing two products from SigniCase. In this post, I’ll review their Natural iPhone Amplifier, and in a following post I’ll review the M9 Camera iPhone 4/4S Case.

The all-natural bamboo amplifier is great for anyone who is looking to get a better sound out of their iPhone speakers without having to use expensive speakers or anything that requires an outlet. It amplifies sound naturally using the hollow space inside the bamboo block… all you have to do is place your iPhone, start the music and turn up the volume.

The amplifier works as promised, it really brings out a greater sound than the iPhone’s speakers. Of course, you shouldn’t expect majorly louder sound, but a much better sound than what your iPhone alone produces. And when you’re not using it to amplify sound, it works as a great iPhone stand. It holds the iPhone with or without a case, and you get access to the home button so you can use your phone freely.

 

The SigniCase amplifier is available in Walnut wood or Bamboo. It is also available in few engraved designs.
