Remember dictionaries? Never mind--they’re all inside your phone now, but in an homage to the dictionary stands of the past, we present this little black aluminum stand for your phone or tablet to sit on while you look stuff up, or do anything else. Measures 4" tall x 4-1/2" x 3" with a ledge with silicone pads and keyed holes to organize the cords through when the battery runs low. Bottom also has pads to keep it from sliding around. Will work with most phones and tablets up to a 9” screen.

And more. This accessory kit for smart phones (works with iPhone, Samsung, HTC, iPad, tablets and many others) has a 2” long clip-on bracket with screw-in macro, wide-angle and fish-eye lenses. Paul loves his kit and he’s our optics expert. Use the macro for insects, coins and diamonds. Fish-eye and wide-angle for great visual effects. Includes a little pouch to carry it all in, and tiny lens caps.

Note: Two lenses come threaded together to conserve space. 

We’re just guessing, but we’re pretty sure you don’t own a USB charging-cable-keychain-bottle opener combo. Until now. Measures 3-5/8" x 1-3/8" x 3/8" with the opener at one end. Pull up on the center and reveal a 7” long charger/data cord with USB and micro-USB plugs at either end. A light-duty carabiner makes it a keychain. (Watch for the next generation of this item, possibly with an added espresso maker.)

Stick this pair of white molded rubber angel wings on the back of your phone and it will sit up like a nice angle (call it the angel angle) when you’re surfing for heavenly apps. Measures 2-1/4” x 1-7/8” with a 1” suction cup. Also good for sticking wings on anything else you want to make a little more seraphic. You’ll get (2) of them. Yes, that’s (4) wings total.

Phone Slip-Sliding Away? Tell it to Paul Simon, then get this clear gel sticky pad, aka cling, at 5-1/2" x 3-1/4" x 1/16" thick. It’s super-tacky, heat-resistant, water-resistant, residue-free and will keep your phone on the dash or window where it belongs.

By jiminy. A little jumper cord with a modular plug on one end and flat "T" connectors on the other side at the end of dual leads. Wires are insulated, with 3-1/2" of the 7" length covered by a telephone-wire-style gray jacket.

Our 4-1/2" long x 2" wide x 1" deep cell phones fit nicely in this black-leather carrying case. The front is a 2-1/2" x 1-5/8" window of clear plastic through which you can press the buttons. The case is open on the bottom so you can access the ports, and comes with a 6" wrist strap and a plastic belt/pocket clip. A small strap snaps over the phone antenna to keep it from slipping out. Unfortunately, if your phone doesn't have an external antenna, there is nothing to keep it in except a snug fit, an extraordinarily rigid posture, and a determination to never bend over.

Take care of your screens and they'll take care of you. (A drill sergeant told us this about our socks once, but this time it's true.) This kit includes (3) wet and (3) dry anti-static wipes, a 7" x 4-1/2" microfiber cleaning cloth, and (6) self-adhesive clear vinyl screen protectors at 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" with a grid on the back to help cut them to size, and a little plastic thingy to squoogee the air bubbles out.

Ten-packs of 2-pin breakouts (or terminal blocks) from telephone junction boxes, in black or gray with red and green leads that terminate in a modular plug. The breakouts measure 11/16" wide x 5/8" high x 3/4" deep. The screw terminals are 1-1/4" long and the modular plug jumper reaches about 2-3/8" when snapped into its clip.

This 7-foot length of standard 4-wire gray telephone cord has a modular plug on each end and an in-line 1-1/2" x 1" dia interference blocking RF filter at one end. 'Nuff said.
