There are some people who actually enjoy working out. It’s normally those kids who grew up playing sports and never thought that being outside is as much of a chore as it is to everyone else. Then again, once you start getting healthy, it is pretty fun to go on a run or take a scenic bike ride. It can be a nice way to take a break from staring at screens and working every second you breathe.
If you like the escape from your visual prison but still want to listen to the top 50 hits on your phone, then the TRAKK Shell Backpack is going to be just what you need. This is a backpack to carry all your nerd tech, water, and snacks, and will also be a 20W Hi-Fi Bluetooth speaker and 5200 mAh power bank. It seems like a must-have item for gadget-loving adventurers who go from morning workout to work to evening bike rides without stopping to juice up their phone.
This pack is rated IPX5, being able to take a water jet in any direction without ruining your smartphone inside, meaning rain is of little inconvenience. It’s also shockproof, comfortable to wear for hours at a time, has speakers loud enough to be heard in rain or while running on gravel, and has pockets galore for all of your stuff. There’s a controller for the speaker so you can control your music, volume, turn on snazzy lights on the backpack, or take calls. This is a $149.95 backpack that is only for serious music-lovers who can’t stand to sit down.
Available for purchase on Amazon

Since YouTube can now be a viable job for just about anyone, it makes sense that we would invest more in our smartphone accessories. The higher quality of videos you put out, the more people will be interested in watching. There is that whole aspect of having content people will actually want to watch as well, but you do want to take into account the caliber of the content you’re putting out there.
For those that like to do daily vlogging and want to use their smartphone to capture their lives, the SMOVE might be something that peaks your interest. This is a combination of a stabilizer and a power bank that will let you get bump and jolt-free footage while simultaneously charging your phone for those long days of shooting. Of course, this would also be useful for people who just like taking videos or photos in general too.
This has a 5200mAh power bank, Bluetooth 4.0, works with iOS and Android, and has a variety of modes to sit at a fixed angle, angle follow, detect and follow faces, panorama shots and more. There’s a joystick for stationary movement, and a button for taking photos and video. These are currently available for pre-order on a successfully funded Indiegogo campaign, and you’ll be looking at $119 if you’re interested in taking it out for a spin. There are many other versions of this sort of thing on the market, so be sure to do your homework before taking the plunge.
Available for crowdfunding on indiegogo
