Bernard Capulong — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Amazon Prime Day is here. Think of it like Black Friday for online shopping at Amazon, but it lasts two full days this year. We also know that historically, the EDC deals—to put it mildly—haven’t been great. But we’re here to help. While there will be tons of deals to sort through in the general sale, we’ll do the hard work of scoping the site (and your other favorite brands) for the best deals on great gear for your everyday carry and posting them in this round-up throughout the entire event.

You’ll need a Prime membership to take advantage of all the savings, so be sure to sign up for a free trial here to shop if you’re not a member already.

As a heads up, many of today’s deals are time-sensitive, and often, the best gear are the ones that get picked for Lightning Deals, so be sure to bookmark this post and refresh often so you won’t miss a steal. Check out all of Amazon’s Prime Day promos at the button below, and scroll further for our curated list of EDC deals of note.

Kindle Scribe

Chris Van Hoven — Fri, 07 Oct 2022 18:30:00 +0000

When the Amazon Kindle first launched in 2007, it had two primary objectives: to bring digital books to people and become the best way to read them. Fifteen years and tens of millions of Kindle sales later, the Amazon Kindle has continued to dominate the ebook market, branching out into multiple model variations at different price points, each with unique feature sets. Yet even with the Kindle’s evolution through the years, its purpose has remained singular: to replace printed books. That is, until now. The newly released Amazon Kindle Scribe’s goal is much more ambitious–it aims to replace paper entirely.

The Kindle Scribe features the world’s first 10.2” 300 PPI glare-free Paperwhite display, which is meant to look and feel exactly like paper, down to how it sounds when you write on it with the included pen. The large display makes it easy to take down notes and gives you a lot of room for adjusting font sizes and margin widths. The high-resolution display is illuminated by an auto-adjusting front light and an adjustable warm light, giving you a comfortable reading experience even during low-light conditions.

If the large screen size hasn’t given it away yet, the Kindle Scribe is looking to veer away from its traditional role as a pure e-reader, looking instead to challenge tablets with its expanded feature set. Not only are you now able to take down handwritten “sticky” notes on the book you’re currently reading, but you can also create your own notebooks, journals, and lists. Various templates are available depending on what you intend to write down, ranging from graphing paper for solving the world’s math problems to checklists for your next grocery store visit.

The Kindle Scribe also makes it easy to review documents thanks to the added screen real estate. Import documents such as PDF files or Microsoft Word formats using the Kindle app or the browser on your desktop, do your markups and edits, then send them back via email, all done directly on the device.

The Kindle Scribe includes a Basic Pen by default, which you can upgrade to a Premium Pen for about $30 more. The Premium Pen has additional features such as a dedicated eraser and a shortcut button which you can assign to toggle between different modes such as pen or highlighter. A full charge of the Kindle Scribe via USB-C will give you enough battery life for months of reading and weeks of writing, so you don’t have to worry about constantly running out of battery as you would with other full-color tablets.

With an unmatched library of content of over 13 million titles, plus new features that add a productivity element to your e-paper experience, the Kindle Scribe becomes a worthwhile addition to your everyday carry. Grab yours at the link below.

The Best Travel Tech in 2019

Jonathan Tayag — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 19:30:00 +0000

There’s a time and task for our everyday tools, but there’s one category that’s equally important to prepare for these days. Between smartphones, laptops, and all the different ways to work, enjoy media, and communicate, having the right tech—especially while on the move—is essential. But we’ve got you covered. In this list, we take a look at awesome and useful tech you can add to your EDC to make your modern commute both practical and fun.

The Best Tech for Traveling in 2019

Tile Slim

Losing your passport or your wallet is one of the worst things that can happen when you’re abroad. But with a Tile locator you can find it in a pinch, whether you left your ID on a taxi or even just finding where you set it down in your hotel room. You can trigger a locating beacon that helps you locate your gear via sound, and Tile‘s extensive user base comes in handy when you’ve well and truly lost what you’re trying to find. The best part: their updated Slim model is sized just right to slot into a standard credit card space, letting you integrate this super-useful tech into your travel workflow easily without adding too much bulk.

Check It Out

Apple AirPods Pro

With their shorter, less visible stems and the introduction of active noise cancelling technology into the mix, Apple’s new AirPods Pro should be your truly-wireless earbuds of choice if you’re an iPhone user, as they are a worthy step up from the previous generation. They also fit in ears better than the last model, which is something you should check out if they didn’t work for you the first time around.

Check It Out

Apple Watch Series 5

From contactless payments to health tracking in emergency situations, the Apple Watch definitely does more than tell time. It lets you keep your hands free when checking messages and notifications, letting you avoid getting your precious phone from getting snatched out of your hand when you’re in sketchy locations. And it just straight-up looks good, with a stylish aluminum case that pairs well with whatever outfit you choose and an always-on display that lets you check time discreetly like a traditional watch without standing out like a sore thumb in awkward situations.

Check It Out

Sony WH1000XM3 ANC Headphones

If earbuds aren’t your thing when it comes to wireless Bluetooth headphones when you travel, Sony’s WH1000XM3 over-ear headphones are your best bet, with superior sound quality over their earbuds brethren and class-leading active noise cancelling to boot. And with 30 hours of playback on a full charge, you can kick back and enjoy your music on even the longest flights.

Check It Out

RAVPower 20100 mAh 45W PD Power Bank

When you’re a techie on the go, running out of power is tantamount to complete shutdown of your day. With its huge 20100 mAh battery, this RAVPower power bank lets you go for long periods of time without having to find a wall charger. And because it supports a full 45W of power delivery over USB-C, it can power your bigger tech hardware as well, including laptops, tablets, and even gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch.

Check It Out

Kindle Paperwhite Waterproof

You know the Kindle and how it gives you access to an extensive library of books in your hand without the bulk and weight of traditional paper, of course. Two things set this new model apart from its predecessor: a clear backlit display that reads like a traditional book, and an impressive IPX8 waterproof rating that will definitely handle the next time turbulence hits and drinks fall on your device during beverage service on a flight.

Check It Out

DJI Mavic Mini

Drone technology has come quite far recently, and DJI’s brand new offering shrinks things down to a size that can fit in your bag so that you can use it everywhere you go. And at just 8.7 ounces in weight, it won’t add unnecessary bulk to your travel ensemble, not to mention being right under the legal limit for major locales so you don’t have to register it. With one of these in your toolbox you can enjoy the ability to take high-resolution 2.7K videos and still images from vantages you’d need a helicopter to take otherwise. The possibilities are endless with a drone camera, and you can let loose your creative energies in entirely new when you add the DJI Mavic Mini to your kit.

Check It Out

Sonos Move

Let’s face it: most Bluetooth speakers available right now nor are just downright bad at playing music. Sure, some of them can get loud, but that comes at the expense of quality, with lots of unwanted distortion at high volumes. The new Sonos Move is different, because it’s a smart wireless Bluetooth speaker that’s made to play music well, even at high volume, while still being immensely portable. And because it’s designed to interface directly with Amazon’s Alexa smart AI assistant, you can use the Sonos Move to control other devices or accomplish tasks that a standard portable speaker just cannot do.

Check It Out

GNARBOX 2.0

When you’re on the move, it can be hard to stop and take stock of the photos and videos you’re talking during your travels. And if you’re trying to travel super-light, you might not even be able to justify having a laptop on you for editing your work in the first place. The GNARBOX 2.0 offers you portable, rugged SSD storage that takes things an extra step: it automatically pulls your photos and videos from your memory cards and it lets you edit them directly from your mobile devices via WiFi. Adding this bit of gear with absolutely change your workflow, especially if you often find yourself in remote locations without power or internet access.

Check It Out

GLAMFIELDS Travel Adaptor

There’s no point carrying around a bunch of tech if you can’t use or charge your devices when you eventually get to your destination, all because you don’t have the right power plugs for your gear. This universal adapter solves this problem, giving you every single plug you might encounter in your travels, in a package that won’t take up too much space in your luggage. And as an added bonus, the adapter itself lets you plug in four devices including a USB Type-C port for the latest modern hardware.

Check It Out

RovyVon Aurora A28

If you leave your EDC flashlight at home when you travel because it’s too big, consider picking up a RovyVon Aurora A28. It packs a powerful 600 lumen Nichia 219C LED module within a small 3″ frame. There’s an auxiliary side UV light built in as well which lets you verify the authenticity of hard currency and also see whether or not your hotel housekeeping actually cleaned things up from the previous occupants if you’re adventurous. And because it’s micro-USB rechargeable, you won’t have to worry about hunting around for rare proprietary batteries to power this light while you’re abroad.

Check It Out

Ricoh GRIII Compact Camera

Since the halcyon days of film, the Ricoh GR series has been a popular pick for compact street and travel photographers who live a fast-paced lifestyle. With 24MP restoration and a wide 28mm lens with bright f/2.8 aperture, the GRIII offers photographers a powerful creative platform to get great shots wherever they they find themselves. But this isn’t just a photo camera for enthusiasts, as the quality of the camera and its ease of use make it a good choice even if the user isn’t as skilled. At the very least, the random person you’ll hand this over to so you can join a group shoot will be able to use it with little to no problem. What’s not to like?

AmazonBasics Ultralight Packable Daypack

Mikey Bautista — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 19:30:00 +0000

It’s the last few days before the holiday weekend and we’re sure travel and shopping are your top priorities. As you head home for the break to be with your loved ones, it helps to stay prepared for the trip. Instead of bringing an extra bulky suitcase, how about packing a backpack you can easily fold and slip into a pocket instead? The AmazonBasics daypack can cover your bases by not only acting as an extra bag for travel emergencies, but also gives you a convenient way to bring and take home your share of gifts.

Amazon takes the “ultralight” part of the backpack’s name seriously. It weighs under half a pound and compresses into a pocket-sized pouch, making it easy to toss in (or attach) to your existing carry. And at any time, you can fold it out to its 25L or 35L full size to always have extra space to carry more of your stuff. In addition to its main compartment, the bag also comes with an internal zipped pocket and 2 mesh side pockets for quick-access items like a water bottle or umbrella.

The bag’s rip- and water-resistant nylon exterior protects your gear from light rain and exposure to day-to-day activities. And despite its light weight, the bag is heavy in construction, with bar-tacking reinforcement on its stress points and durable two-way, abrasion-resistant SBS metal zippers to seal its contents. You can carry it conveniently both packed or expanded thanks to a handy top loop and adjustable, breathable shoulder straps.

Ditch the bulky luggage this weekend and leave it to Santa to haul gifts in a massive bag. Make the AmazonBasics Ultralight Daypack your holiday companion instead, available in 6 colors and 2 sizes from Amazon at the link below.
