The Blu-Toque from Canadian-Based www.Caseco.ca  is perfect for keeping your head warm and listening to music at the same time. Its speaker elements are embedded in the fabric (removable for when washing the toque.) Using Bluetooth they wirelessly play your smartphone’s music and also let you talk with the built-in mic. It’s easy to set up and the controls, patched on the toque fabric, control volume, start, pause, previous/next track as well as redial last number. It comes with a micro USB charging cable, can be charged through the toque, plays for six hours and has 60 hours of standby. Nice!

Caseco makes competitively priced phone cases like the Caseco Shock Express Canada Series Case, $39.99. It also comes in a variety of colours, it’s built tough and features a gentle inward curve in the middle for a better grip. It is available for several iPhone and Samsung Galaxy models including the Galaxy Note 3. The attractive Caseco Flux Platinum series, $39.99 features a dual layered system that includes a shock absorbing inner with a rigorous outer shell is also available for iPhone 5/5S/5C.

-The Logitech Bluetooth Illuminated Keyboard K810, $99.99 for Windows, Android and iOS is perfect for typing day or night. An auto dimmer adjusts according to the ambient light and with Logitech Easy-Switch you can change between your PC, Tablet or smartphone with one button touch. Brush aluminum finish to match all of today’s phones, tablets and laptops.

-Logitech’s Wireless Mouse M560, $49.99 has one of my all-time favourite features, the Hyper-fast scroll wheel which with one click, free spins for smoothly scrolling through long documents or web sites or in normal click-to-click mode with more precision. You get one-touch access to the Windows 8 App Bar, Charms Bar, Desktop and Start Screen.

Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard

Its battery lasts long and even turns off automatically when your device goes to slip. Throw it in you backpack without even turning the power button off.
