2013 Holiday Gift Guide Suggestion
Update: This brand’s website is no longer active, but their products are still available through major retailers like Target and Walmart.
Looking for a great gift for those tech savvy people on your list? Look no further than MarBlue (formerly known as Marware), maker of cases and accessories for smartphones, tablets and more. MarBlue sent two of their innovative items, a Squidstand for my Windows phone and an Axis 7″ Universal Tablet Case, for me to share with my readers, and here’s what I had to say.
Axis 7″ Universal Tablet Case
Perfect for pretty much any 7″ tablet this stylish case actually rotates 90° so you can view your device either horizontally or vertically. You can also adjust it so you have at multiple viewing angles.
Your tablet is held securely inside with strong elastic bands that wrap around each corner. The inside is a smooth, soft micro suede so you don’t have to worry about scratching the display. It has a stylish and sophisticated synthetic leather exterior, and includes an elastic strap enclosure for additional protection. This case is available in black, purple or blue for only $39.99, a great price for such an innovative case.
Squidstand
Squidstand is a fun, universal and hands-free prop for your smart phone. Compatible with your iPhone, iPod or pretty much any smartphone, the Squidstand is a small and simple silicone ball that will suction securely to any smooth, flat surface.
It serves as the perfect portable stand for both portrait and landscape mode viewing, and allows you to watch movies, take pictures, listen to music and more hands free. Available in several bright colors, the Squidstand is the ideal stocking stuffer!
Both items can be purchased at stores like WalMart and Target as well as online through sites like Amazon
