Deal of the Week | May 1st, 2015: Schatzii Screen Cleaner Cloths for $1.99 (reg. $12.99)

Schatzii Screen Cleaning Smart Cloths , on sale this week at Connecting Point for just $1.99Here’s an idea: Extend your usual ritualistic ‘spring cleaning’ to all the many screens surrounding you.

Your HDTV. Your smartphone. Your tablet. Your laptop. Your smartwatch. The GPS in your car. Heck, these cool little cloths even do a spiffy job on headphones.

And the good folks at Schatzii have covered all the bases: the Schatzii Smart Cloth is dual sided, with plush buffing microfiber on one side and a specially-designed polishing microfiber on the other. They’re naturally hydrophilic, which means they’ll absorb oils and liquids from your screens like crazy. They’re anti-static, anti-dust, anti-mold, and anti-mildew. And if they start to get a little funky from all that cleaning, fear not: they’re machine washable.

We think you’ll quickly get used to having a Schatzii Smart Cloth along with you wherever you may roam. And to make that especially painless for you, we’re offering them – this week only, as our DOTW – for just $1.99. That’s 11 bucks off our regular $12.99 price.

Deal of the Week | Apr. 24th, 2015: 12V Socket Splitter/USB Car Charger Combo $9.99 (reg. $19.99)

3-way Car Lighter Splitter and 2-port USB Car Charger for $9.99For this week’s Deal, we’re offering a “twofer.”

Suddenly, you have three places to plug in your gadgets. Second, you get a two-port USB car charger, suitable for plugging in and charging your iPhone, iPod, GPS, or what-have-you.

We usually sell these two as a bundle for $19.99, but this week (and while supplies last) they’re on sale for a low, low $9.99. That’s half price!

Deal of the Week | Apr. 17th, 2015: SyncStop Safe Charging USB Adapter for $14.99 (reg. $19.99)

SyncStop Safe Charging USB Adapter, on sale at Connecting Point for $14.99And now for something completely different…

In late 2013, a small, Portland-based independent security firm called Xipiter built the first version of SyncStop (which was originally called the “USB Condom,” until cooler heads prevailed) to scratch an itch: They wanted to minimize the risks involved with charging their own mobile devices in public areas.

When they tweeted about their invention, they were immediately flooded with emails and calls – and realized they were on to something big. The first production run sold out in a matter of days, spurring them to refine (and rename) their product.

Connecting Point is proud to be the first in our area to carry SyncStop, designed and built by another locally owned, independently operated business. And we’re inspired to offer this already-affordable gadget at a 25% discount, as this week’s Deal of the Week.
