Even though something as futuristic as the iPad might look out of place in the middle of the forest, bringing to forest to the iPad makes for an excellent look. Maryland based designers Vers have put together these simple, wooden cases to bring a natural touch to Apple’s powerful pocket computers. Constructed from Walnut and Bamboo, the cases easily slide on to the iPad or iPhone 4/s and look tough enough withstand a couple of forest fires. But the best part? Through a partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation, Vers plants 100 trees for every one they use to produce one of these excellent cases.

Practicality minded clothier Outlier has teamed up with Hyperlite Mountain gear a simple and sturdy minimalist backpack perfect for taking on the winter months. Made with non-woven, waterproof Dyneema (a fabric that’s ten times stronger than steel), the roll-top bag has the ability to fold up and fit inside of a jacket pocket. But don’t let the power of the fabric confuse you – the bag is still light enough to float on water and most certainly won’t have any problems carrying whatever you could possibly need to carry in the coming months.

Straddling the fine line between looking like you’ve recently been dumpster diving and looking like you spend more time in front of a mirror than [the evil queen from Snow White] is a difficult prospect for the modern man. Grooming properly is a daunting task, but not one that should entirely overlooked. Even with the enormous (and ever growing) amount of grooming products made “for men,” picking the best way to condition hair and moisturize hands can be overwhelming.

Cue The Motley: a vast online warehouse of the best high-quality grooming products specifically designed for men. They help streamline the what could seem like endless selection process for product by gathering top of the line goods from around the globe in one readily accessible place. Anything you see on this site is most certainly “superior” – their slogan doesn’t mess around.

With an unflinching commitment to customer service (they even included a handwritten note with the products I was sent), The Motley knows how to make shopping easier for even the most clueless of patrons, featuring a variety of pre-made grooming kits, each focused on tackling a different grooming problem: dry skin, oily hair, etc. But with their new Autopilot program, the grooming specialists take the ease even further, offering a service that delivers kits right to your door every month, including the ability to change your package based on your preferences. We’re not making this stuff up: it’s really this easy to keep yourself from looking like you’ve been living in your car outside your office building for the past 3 weeks. We were lucky enough to get our hands on two of the featured products in the Autopilot program: The Motley’s own Buckler’s Chapped Skin Remedy No. 001 and Chief’s Energizing Face Wash, both quality products with their own unique purpose.

Expert bag makers Lexdray have teamed up with Boylston Trading Co. and ditched their trademark black in favor of a much more eye catching royal blue.

To contrast the outer blue, the bags a lined with a custom red tiger print lining that adds just enough pop to the look. But Lexdray won’t be sticking with the bright color scheme for long: each bag is being produced in a limited run of only 100.
