Cozy Kindle and Ipad 2 cases from Rustic Case Company

We’ve heralded this idea before, but not everyone wants a sleek, high-tech looking case for their Kindle or iPad. Yes, your device is a shiny high-tech toy that is admired for its newness, but sometimes it’s nicer to cover it in something a little more classic and natural. Leather is always a great option for the classic businessman look, but if you want something that stands out in a sea of hard plastic, we love these rustic (yes, just like the name) cases made from masculine wool and leather. The Rustic Case Company makes beautiful handmade cases for the iPad 2 ($50) and the Kindle 3 ($40) that are crafted in a charcoal grey mix of 80% wool and 20% polyester with worn brown leather accents. It’s a simple sleeve without bells and whistles, so it won’t hold any extras, but we’d be proud to carry our iPad 2 around in one of these woolen cases. All of the materials used to make the cases are sourced in New England, where they are made by hand.

iPad Pro 10.5-inch

It's Mother's Day, and we found some must-have products from Acer, Apple, Arlo, and Bose at excellent prices on eBay. These products are mixed, including laptops, a tablet, a super-high-quality smart home security camera system, and noise-canceling headphones.

The Acer, Arlo, and Bose devices are new, but the Apple laptop and tablet are refurbished. Don't let their refurbished status put you off. In addition to much higher than normal discounts, manufacturers and merchants that sell refurbished electronic devices only do so when they've tested the machines to work just like new models.

How to save Ring Doorbell video without a subscription
Ring Doorbell mounted outside a front door.

Take a walk through any neighborhood, and you're bound to see a few Ring video doorbells installed next to front doors. The brand is increasingly popular, thanks to an ever-growing product lineup that makes it easy to find a device for all budgets and security needs. But one of the peskier features of Ring is the need for a Ring Protect Plan -- a monthly subscription service that unlocks the majority of the camera's most useful features.

One such feature locked behind a Ring Protect Plan membership is the ability to save Ring doorbell videos. Without a plan, you'll really only be allowed to view a live feed of your video doorbell. The plans are pretty generous, with the Basic plan costing $5 per month and offering video history for up to 180 days, making it a worthwhile investment for homes worried about their security.
