5 Must Have Summer Gadgets

G-form iPad Extreme Sleeve 2

When travelling around beeches this summer the most irritating thing is getting your iPad scuffed on the rocks or damaged in bags. The solution, it seems, is to put your tablet in what looks like a giant SIM card. Funky looks aside, this sleeve is water resistant (NOT water proof, so no swimming with it), light and will definitely keep any tablet safe and sound from the hurly burly the summer inevitably brings. If you want a demonstration then check out the G-Form Channel on YouTube where they find some very imaginative ways to test their products! £45 g-form.com

Mio Nav Spirit TV, This nifty little gadget allows for you to get Freeview and a GPS and a small music centre whilst driving. If you get easily bored in a car in a foreign country (who doesn’t) then this is something that will make travelling much, much easier (signal depending). Good size (7”, no jokes please), touch screen and portable with the ability to load music and movies onto it as well. £299, eu.mio.com

Eton Rukus Solar, Where there is summer there is sun. All parts on the UK excepted, the sun comes out at this time of year. Eton Rukus have come up with a solar powered wireless music centre. Looking quite nice and being able to airplay anything from a phone with a wireless connection this gadget is perfect for the beach, or anywhere with blue sky. Eco friendly and you don’t have to mess about swapping phones to change music makes for a great little package. £96 etoncorp.com

WowWee Cinemin Slice Pico Projector, A projector for tablet which can do iPhones and IPods, a very clever piece of technology which allows for you to project onto any surface with a screen for anything up to 60”. Mini HDMI and VGA ports for laptops make this a very versatile piece of equipment. Wherever you are this will be useful and enjoyable and is most definitely a summer gadget. £277 wowwee.com

Speedo Aquabeats 1GB, These are underwater headphones which will make the pool or the beach alive to the sound of music. Some issues with comfort over long periods underwater but if you just want to relax in the water without messing up your MP3 player then this is a must have item. £49 speedo.com
