Ego Hybrid Series USB Case

$34.95 (€28.60)

What’s better than a case for your iPhone? One that also doubles as USB storage. Okay, so maybe not the entire case, but the Ego USB case has a slide out USB key that you can store all your essential files on. It fits snugly into the back of the case – which is also pretty good at protecting your iPhone – so you’d barely know it’s there.

The key comes in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB sizes and six different colours, so you can mix and match the cases and keys. Never again will you have a USB storage emergency.

iPICS2GO Negative to iPhone Scanner

€51

If you are over a certain age, you probably won’t have a clue what negatives and slides are. Or if you do, you might never have had to look at one in your life. The age of the digital camera has all but eliminated them, but some of us may even have a stack of them gathering dust at home.

So what to do with them? Scan them with the iPICS2GO Negative to iPhone Scanner. The device will scan the film – negatives, slides, old photos – directly to your iPhone, allowing you to edit them and share with friends and family.

Nifty Minidrive

$30 (€24.50)

If you’ve bought a new Macbook Air or Pro, you will notice the small SD slot at the side. The best use for this? The Nifty Minidrive.

Currently a kickstarter project but due to ship in the autumn, the drive uses a Micro SD card to extend the storage space on your Macbook Air by up to 64GB without the need for a bulky external hard drive. In theory, it could actually support one of 2TB in size, but since the 64GB version is the highest capacity, youll have to make do with that for now.

A handy way to back up files.
