It’s like Theodore Roosevelt was fond of saying: “Speak softly, and carry no selfie stick.”
Because those things are heinous, bro – and ol’ Teddy knew that.
Instead, pick up this week’s DOTW. You get a much better system for taking self portraits with your smartphone, and you’ll look a darn sight cooler doing it, too.
You get a sturdy mini-tripod, with a mount capable of working with all but the fattest of smartphones. And you get a key-fob Bluetooth remote, which grants you the ability to snap the smartphone’s camera from up to 30 feet away. These two are normally bundled together for $20, but for this week’s Deal of the Week, we’re letting them go for a measly $13.99. But hurry – the offer is limited to stock on hand.
Get all the deets on this week’s offer here.

Back in February, we featured this little guy for our weekly Deal.
It turned out to be one crazy-popular offer, and we sold out in no time. Then we had customers coming in the rest of the week, looking to take advantage, only to be disappointed.
Well, here at Connecting Point, we’re just not into disappointment. So we’re bringing back this dual USB charger, and once again slashing the price from 20 bucks to less than six. It’s made by noted accessory manufacturer iEssentials, designed to work seamlessly and last a long, long time.
This is one of our most popular chargers, heartily endorsed by Medford sales lead Scott Farmer. “I’ve sold tons of these, and they never come back,” Scott says. “Our customers love ’em.”
This charger works with your iPhone, iPad, MP3 player, camera, or whatever USB-chargeable device you might have. Don’t miss out this time: come in for your iEssentials Dual USB Charger today!

Connecting Point Computer Centers, the area’s only locally-owned, independent Apple retailer and services provider, is pleased to announce Apple has awarded us its Premium Service Provider designation. This accolade is given to an elite tier of Apple Authorized Service Providers in recognition of their unparalleled commitment to technical excellence and customer service. According to Apple, “Premium Service Providers consistently deliver exceptional repair support and customer experience that meet Apple’s exacting standard for high-quality repair and prompt service.”
Connecting Point traces its roots back to the pre-personal computer era. Founded in 1975 by Bob Howell and current owner and CEO Rick Mandell, Connecting Point began as a small stereo store. Later, the business expanded to embrace electronic parts, video gear, and even CB radios. But a turning point occurred in 1977, when Connecting Point – then part of the Minneapolis-based franchise TEAM Electronics – became one of the earliest retailers for the new, groundbreaking Apple II personal computer.
Today, Connecting Point is proud to sell, service, and provide unparalleled support for every product in the Apple line – including Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod. As one of just over a hundred Premium Service Providers in all of North America – that’s only 18% of the total number of Apple Service Providers – you can rest assured your Apple service will be performed by one of the oldest, most experienced, and accredited Apple service centers in the world.

Here’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.
Click here to learn more about this week’s DOTW – including a peek at some of the cool pattens and colors that are available.

For this week’s Deal, we’re offering a “twofer.”
In other words, two items for a single low price. And these items happen to complement each other rather nicely. First, you get a 12V car socket splitter, which expands one socket to three. 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!
