Short battery life has long been considered the smartphone's Achille's heel, something ‪Apple‬ recently tried to remedy with the Smart Battery Case for its ‪‎iPhone‬ 6 and iPhone 6S. Oukitel, however, has taken a different approach. The company's new K10000 phone has a huge 10,000 mAh battery, which can last between 10 and 15 days on a full charge.

How to Buy a Leather Bag

Universal Store London™ - Leather Bags

Leather bags are unique among men’s accessories. A good one will last a lifetime and, if treated well, look better at the end than the beginning of your life together. Only leather has this attribute, gaining an individual patina from the way it is used and cared for, and a bag provides the largest canvas on which that rich beauty can be displayed.

The quality of leather attachés, holdalls and brief cases varies hugely. But unlike suits, which I discussed in my last post, the quality is on the outside, for everyone to see. You just have to know what you’re looking for.

The three main areas to watch are leather, hardware and stitching.

Good leather is the most tactile area. Pick up a soft example, like a holdall, and feel how supple it is in your hand. Try bending it inwards, towards the centre of the bag, and watch for sharp creases on the surface that show whether there is some kind of coating on the top. A good leather will wrinkle naturally like skin – like the creases on your knuckles.

“The skin that comes from the cow is around three quarters of an inch thick,” says British leather specialist Bill Amberg. “That is split into two or three layers and only the top has a grain, and inherent strength. The mid-layer might be used on cheaper bags, but painted with something to give it a new surface. That will peel off pretty quickly.”

When it comes to hardware, zips are pretty easy to test. Try zipping them up and down; the smoothest are the best. Checking the D-rings that join handles or shoulder straps to the bag is also quite straightforward: all hardware is either a cast fitting or pressed metal. The latter is lighter, cheaper and weaker. You can spot pressed metal because there will be a faint seam somewhere on it, usually running around the edge.

Stitching by hand is always stronger than a machine because it involves two threads interweaving through the leather. A machine can’t reach through and bring a needle back.

That’s the prime reason Hermès bags are so expensive: they are 100 per cent hand-sewn. In general, look for slightly longer, tighter stitches that seem to be pulling the leather together. It is most commonly used on handles on other bags (such as Louis Vuitton hard cases) and some traditional attaché cases. “The most beautiful of all is the lid-over case, where you can’t use a wooden frame because of the way the lid has to fit over the base,” says Carol Bellingham, leather buyer at William & Son. “The structure there is created entirely through stitching into a solid piece of leather. Because it doesn’t have a frame it can’t shatter. Someone once dropped one from the top of the Eiffel Tower; that’s how we know.”

In the end, outside large designer brands, price normally reflects much of the quality of a bag. But there are also many bags from reputable companies that look cheap – with shiny, artificial finishes or printed patterns – and plenty of good bags that skimp on the hardware. If you want a bag that will last a lifetime, it’s worth checking for the aforementioned signs of quality. After all, all a man really needs in life is a work bag, a weekend holdall and a suitcase. Invest in all three departments, and you’re set.

How does it work?

The SoundRacer is a piece of affordable and ingenious technology that works on signals and electrical noise. Signal frequencies in the electrical cables running from the AC alternator follow the engine speed. The SoundRacer detects these signals and transforms them into a simulated RPM. The increase in the simulated RPM multiplied by a factor of 3 then produces a more exciting acceleration impression – all done without running the car’s engine at a higher RPM. The SoundRacer then generates an incredibly realistic super-sports car sound that changes according to the rev point of the car i.e. idle, acceleration at lower/higher RPM and deceleration.

How easy is it to install?

Never before has it been so easy and affordable to make a car feel as a muscle car. Set up in a minute, easy as 1-2-3 and then you are ready to enjoy the fun and excitement of hearing the impressive engine sounds of a famous sports car.
1. Plug in the SoundRacer in the car 12V/cigarette lighter socket.
2. Find a free FM frequency on the car stereo and set the SoundRacer to the same frequency. Some models can also connect to the radio AUX input.
3. Start engine and make a short rev to about 3000 rpm and down. Three beeps will indicate that SoundRacer have synchronized with the car engine rpm.
Now you are ready to go!

How cool is that?!

...And the SoundRacer offers even more: if you have an older FM car radio system which does not have an external audio device function, you can use the SoundRacer to listen to music from your mp3 player, as it has a 3.5 mm stereo line-in cable.
