OGIO Gambit Backpack
Just in time for back-to-school season OGIO has introduced a new backpack that will help you standout on campus, or pretty much anywhere. The Gambit features a crush proof Tech Vault with a soft tricot liner to protect all of your technology, most notably up to a 17-inch laptop. There is also a dedicated, padded pocket that can easily fit an iPad or iPad mini.
A unibody backpanel, along with added shoulder strap foam padding, helps make the bag comfortable to carry for long periods of time. And if you’re like me, and have way tons many things to stash, the backpack also has two zippered side utility pockets, dual side water bottle/accessory holders, and a deluxe organization panel with zippered stash pocket.
Available in black, the

Chargelight
Taking a modern spin on an old-fashioned emergency preparedness staple, the Chargelight combines a powerful and compact LED flashlight with a battery pack to charge any USB device, including an iPhone or iPad. Five times brighter than a normal flashlight, users can choose between 100 percent, 50 percent, and 10 percent light power based on their needs. A strobe light can also act as an emergency beacon. Made with anodized aluminum, the battery can be charged more than 1,000 times.
The Chargelight can be preordered on through
Bite My Apple now for $99.99. It will begin shipping in September.

access case for $49.99 and a charging mat,
which start at $39.99 for a version that holds one device.
There are also a number of other PowerMat accessories available like the pictured TravelMat, which combines a travel wireless charging solution with a high-capacity battery.
