Keizus' Quadrapod Clamp is described by the company as resembling a human body.
To the rest of us it's a versatile tripod (though, in this case, a "quadrapod" since it has four legs instead of three) that turns, clamps and holds onto most any portable electronic gadget including cameras, smartphones, GPS units and smaller tablets.
The unit uses its rubber clamp to hold any picture-taking device and then use the double ball-jointed arms and legs to attach to a doorknob, fence post or any object it can hold on to. Once you have it in place, set it on a timer, run and get in the photo.
You also can unscrew the clamp to reveal a 1/4 20 standard camera tripod thread to attach devices more securely.
It holds devices hands-free in both horizontal and vertical positions.
Rubber tips at the ends of the arms and legs help keep it in place when it's just standing in place on a flat surface.

INVERTER OFFERS POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT
It's easy to look at the Energizer 1,100-watt power inverter and think you wouldn't need a power source like it.
But if you are a camper or someone who does a lot of outdoor activities with power-hungry electronics, it's a no-brainer to put one in the shopping cart.
The multi-function unit connects directly to a 12-volt DC battery with a 3-foot cable; from there it can power televisions, just about any home electronic or even a small appliance.
After it's powered up there are a pair of standard North American AC outlets and two USB ports, which are powerful enough to charge 2.1 amp tablets.
There's a LCD display that shows the battery level, input and output wattage.
It measures 10.98-by-5.59-by-2.72 inches and weighs 3.16 pounds.

AFFORDABLE FULL-SIZED HEADPHONES
Headphones don't have to cost more than a house payment to serve the purpose of putting some tunes in your ears.
That's exactly the case with Wicked Audio's Evac's contemporary-looking over-the-ear full-sized headphones, which cost only $25 (Amazon).
Soft cushion pads on each ear feel great and the headband, which is made with a canvas material, is adjustable.
Wicked Audio's cool logo is proudly display on each ear.
Aside from the good looks, I guess the most important thing is the sound and if you're expecting the sound of a $300 set of headphones, then these aren't for you. But if you want a decent sound for a great value, these are worth your money.
They plug into any portable media player with a standard 3.5mm connection with a durable braided cord that has a built-in volume control.

PHONE CASE MAKES SURE YOU'RE NEVER WITHOUT A PLUG
The Prong PocketPlug case is one of the most versatile you can find.
In addition to giving your device full protection with its thick polycarbonate body, on the back of the case are retractable prongs for connecting the case directly to a standard AC wall outlet.
One you connect, your phone will get a direct cordless charge.
If you want it connected to a USB port while in the case, you can hook up the included microUSB cable for charge and syncing.
The case leaves all your buttons and controls accessible and the audio pumped out of the phone is enhanced and redirected out of the bottom of the case.
Details: available in black or white for $69.95 iPhone 5/5s or $59.95 for the iPhone 4/4s; it's also coming soon for the Galaxy S III; www.goprong.com
