The RockBoom Speaker iPod Case doubles as an iPod case and a speaker – all in one. And what’s even better…the speaker is invisible, protected behind the streamlined material of the case.

Not only are these devices visually attractive, they provide phenomenal sound and are small enough to fit in the palm of a hand– perfect for those on the go! Its compact size makes it easy to throw in a purse or a pocket for tunes in the car, the office, or at home – perfect for sharing favorite music with friends.

These innovative devices come equipped with a zip closure and internal elastic strap that is convenient for stabilizing a slim line nano iPod or other small mp3 device inside. It’s also a great way to keep mp3 players from getting lost or scratched out in the open.

• Powered by two AAA batteries (not included)
• Connects to the mp3 player through a 3.5mm jack
• Fits a slim line nano iPod or other small mp3 device inside

After hooking it up to any music listening device, music is experienced out in the open. The portable speaker produces a clear quality stream of sound that will amaze and defy expectations. No one will expect this petite package to put forth the intense sound of a full sized speaker.

Great sound, lots of style and a perfect way to protect my iPod while carrying it in my purse.

Once again…function and fashion have created a perfect marriage. The RockBoom and the ChicBoom are convenient and portable iPod cases that have a build in speaker…promising crystal-clear sound each and every time you use it.

I love listening to my music on my iPod (when I can pry it from the twins) but carrying it in my purse means that it will get banged around and scratched.  The RockBoom is a perfect alternative to my crazy, unorganized purse or backpack.

It is light weight, has a zipper for easy accesibility and had designs for both men and women.  Sounds like a great idea for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day….heck, pick up one for yourself too!

I was really hoping this would work. I am one of those very bad drivers that uses my cell phone in the car.   I have a blue tooth and a pink tooth but either forget to put them in or forget that I have them all together. So, when I learned of the Jupiter Jack…my thought was “Problem Solved!”

Did the Jupiter Jack work? Yes, I have to say that it worked, was easy to install and had many different adapters to fit virtually every type of cell phone. Simply plug in the Jupiter Jack into your cell phone or use one of the provided adapters. Turn your car radio to 99.3  and you are set. It really was that simple and it did work. But, it didn’t work well. There was a lot of static in the reception and it was very hard to hear the person to whom I was speaking.

Would I purchase the Jupiter Jack again? Probably  not. Will I ever use my Jupiter Jack again? Yes, but not if I had an in depth phone call to make….the static was just too hard to hear over.

Overall I think Jupiter Jack is a great idea and wonderful concept but until the clarity can be perfected it is not really an item I would spend my money on. Sorry Jupiter Jack .

• Works on ANY car radio
• Works with ANY cell phone
• Safely talk and drive at the same time
• Transmits quality sound right to your car speakers
• Compact and portable
• $10.00 plus $6.99 Shipping/Handling

VIVA BOX

On numerous occasions this week I have mentioned those “hard to buy” for people that everyone has on their Christmas shopping lists. Like I have said before, I have quite a few, my husband being one of them (Sorry honey, but it is true).

Well, I may have found the answer to that crazy dilemma…VIVA BOX!

Vivabox offers packages that range from $29.95 to $160.00 there will definitely be something to fit your budget and interests. I enjoy giving gifts but I really like the added bonus of allowing the person the opportunity to pick just the right gift for themselves.

Roborover

byWowWee

I am not sure who will have more fun with Roborover...adults or children? This toy is cool!! This is one of those toys that the entire family will enjoy.

The remote is big  and easy enough for that little hands to understand and manipulate while having  fun being in “control”.  “Big” kids (aka Adults) will think his animation and capabilities are impressive.

Roborover has a lot of personality and a killer smile that lights up! He is Mr. Persona for sure.  If you want to know all the technical aspects then I urge you to visit RoboCommunity. Yes, Roborover has his own community, how cool is that?

Because I am going to talk to you from a “mom’s” perspective and the smiles it put on faces of my twins (and) hubby.

When I first saw the Roborover commercial I thought he was a pretty cool, fun and entertaining toy. When I saw him at the store I was impressed with his color, size and overall  quality appearance of the toy. But, when we were able to review one (thanks to 360 PR)…I realized that he was going to be a #1 seller this year for men, boys AND little girls.

Most of my home is either tile or wood flooring but the living room (which is the biggest room) has carpeting…Roborover takes it like a piece of cake. My favorite feature is his “obstacle detection”. Do you know how many times the twins have had to move a toy because it would keep walking into the wall or furniture? Duh! Not Roborover…he can tell there is something in his way and cleverly maneuvers away  plus he has a wonderful headlight that works! So he can clearly manage his way in the day and night time.

His voice reminds me of a child-robot. Not quite grown but full of mischief none the less.  Roborover is quickly becoming the “it” toy among my family.   Be the “It” mom…pick up Roborover. Black Friday is only 2 days away! Don’t miss making your entire family smile.

Roborover™ is an easy-to-use robot buddy, who is always ready to explore with you! A little shy at first, give him commands using the remote controller to help him become bolder! His personality and speech become more sophisticated the more you play with him.

Earbudeez and HeadShox

by Audiovox

ME = Mobility Expanded

Everyone uses headphones or earbuds these days. It seems like it is a must with video games, laptops, iPhone, iPods, MP3 players and the list goes on. Even my 2 year old great-nephew uses headphones when he is listening to his mom’s iPod. It is unavoidable.

While we are like the “crowd” with our mobile devices our earbuds and headphones can be distinct and unique…thanks to Audiovox.

Audivox has introduced to great new styles of earbuds that will cover a lot of the market for this Holiday Season. Need presents that aren’t gender specific but will be a hit? Then listen up!

earBudeez are created for the younger kids. Audiovox realizes that buyers are visual and that they like to have fun when shopping. earBudeez are unique earbuds that come in different styles of packaging representative of your personal likes, appearance and style.  You tween is destined to find one he/she can relate to with characters such as Jill, Zoe Jane, Emo, Skull Rojo, Bode, Jet and JayD. As you can see they are definitely unique.

Audiovox has created a new campaign “ME” which stands for Mobility Expanded. I think it is cleaver for them to realize that as consumers we’d like to expand our traditional expectations into a more customized aspect of who we are.

The HeadShox are another fun idea from Audiovox that has been created for the older twenty-somethings. Young adults who still enjoy their music but want to be creative individuals and express themselves through everything from their clothing to the music style.

Personally, I really like the HeadShox. The pair I received are very stylish and classy with a little flair of funk added to the mix. My HeadShox are a great copper color and would work really well with my lifestyle…albeit I am not a twenty-something in years…but definitely at heart.

One of the reasons that I wanted to add this particular product to the Holiday Showcase was because it fit so many gift ideas. Yes, EarBudeez and HeadShox were created for the tween, teen and 20-somethings…but it is a product that younger and older will enjoy just the same!

Give a smile…drop one into a stocking stuffer!
