Bullet-resistant backpack offers protection from gunshot and other weaponry
In both the US and UK, the safety of kids both on and off school campuses is a high priority, and rightly so. Now Massachusetts-based MJ Safety Solutions is offering a special backpack containing a bullet- and edged-weapon-resistant panel, certified as a NIJ Level II plate which can withstand medium and low caliber rounds.

MJ Safety claims that, of the 328 shootings in the US since Columbine in 1999, 97% could have been prevented by using their bags.

Having said that, the leather case from Proporta on the left there is rather nice, and smart for businesspeople on the go. It’s custom-made so fits the BlackBerry 8300 Curve perfectly, and is only £26.95. Vegetarians might prefer the non-leather option…
Miniot give uninspired 'iWood' name to wooden iPhone case

Not only that, but Miniot also allow you to order matching iPhone docks in the matching wood, just in case you’re one…
