As you know, actually acquiring that brand new iDevice (in this case the iPad 2) is only the first step. You have to load it up with apps, fill it with all your favorite movies (all “purchased” legally, of course) and get a sweet ass case for it. After all, you can’t be spending a couple hundred bucks on something you’re inevitably going to drop without giving it the proper protection it requires. Which is where the Grove Bamboo iPad 2 Case comes in. Made of bamboo and CNC milled to exacting specifications, it also includes a vegetable tanned leather cover that’s “smart” enough to wake up and sleep your iPad. If you’re looking to spice up your specific case, there’s also a laser engraved artist series which presumably includes, well, laser leather engraving. This is one case as awesome as the device it’s designed to hold – even if neither is out yet.

Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
