Recently, I had the opportunity to review the Tivoo from Divoom and I really liked it. My only request was for a larger version. I love it when a plan comes together! Divoom sent me the Tivoo Max ($99), which is available as an Indiegogo campaign currently. The Max is a larger version that also enhances audio with 20 watt stereo speakers and a 20 watt active subwoofer.

As someone who gets a lot of packages, not just from Amazon, but also shipments that I wasn't expecting (as a gadget reviewer), I am very interested in ways to secure said packages. One such package that arrived was the BoxLock ($129) and its purpose is to help with just such concerns.

Over the years, I've reviewed a number add-on lenses for iPhones. As Apple redesigns each generation of iPhone, a new lens often has to be designed because the manufacturers use proprietary adapters. That's why I was excited when Black Eye sent me its new Smartphone Lenses (starting at $34.90).

I grew up with vinyl records, saw the move to cassettes and 8-track tapes, then CD-ROMs and eventually MP3 via Napster and the iPod all the way to streaming. But for many audiophiles, the preferred platform is still vinyl albums. In fact, records are making a comeback and outsell individual digital tracks. Fortunately, you can play new (and vintage) vinyl records on the latest technology, and especially the Mustang LP ($129.99) which ION Audio sent me to check out. I loved the sleek styling officially inspired by the classic 1965 Mustang. It's licensed by Ford and includes the Mustang logo. The radio, tuning, and volume dials look just like muscle car speedometers and gauges.
