    When you're spending most part of the day out and about, chances are at some point you'll have to whip out your portable battery to juice up your smartphone. This usually means stacking your phone on top of a cable-wrapped power bank, and then clumsily holding everything together with one hand. Doesn't sound very 2015, does it? It's annoying enough for a startup called Rubix to come up with a solution: slap a magnetized Qi wireless charging case (aka On Case) on your phone, and then let it snap onto a magnetized wireless charging battery (aka On Charger). Look ma, no cable!

    As gamers, we are members of a very unique culture that permeates every fiber of our being. Odd gaming quotes and an insatiable desire to explode all barrels in sight are just a few of the things that come to mind when we think of gamers (the rest are just as nice, we assure you), and upon seeing this Rubix Cube, which is affixed with various pictures of Mario and Luigi from the game New Super Mario Bros., we knew that we had to have it. Do you share our desire? [Via Tokyo Mango]

    Hooked on retro-kitsch, boy? You'll likey this Illuminate Cube from Megahouse then. Now it's no coincidence that this cube bears more than a passing resemblance to his similarly colored and sized bro' Rubik since The House owns the rights to said wunderkind in Japan. Unfortunately, this cube doesn't move, unless you mean the colored lights which do their best to keep time with the beat off any 3.5-mm attached audio source. Sure, it has a tiny 27-mm cone speaker integrated as well, but with a power rating of just 125mW x 2ch, why bother. Available at the end of the month in Japan for ¥5,250 or right around $44.
