SanDisk squeezes 128GB of SSD storage in the Ultra Fit, a thumbnail-sized USB 3.0 flash drive ideal for use with tablets and smartphones, as well as PCs, notebooks and any other device in need of extra storage.

Designed as a "plug-and-stay" device, the Ultra Fit acts as an always-present storage option customers can simply plug and leave in their devices. And just as well, since being so small it must be pretty easy to actually misplace. Meanwhile USB 3.0 connectivity promises data speeds up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

The drive also includes SecureAccess security software for users wanting to create password-protected private folders complete with 128-bit AES encryption, as well as a free 1-year RescuePRO subscription.

A startup named Enlighten proposes an interesting means for environmentally-conscious customers to recycle old smartphone batteries-- the Better Re, an accessory turning such batteries into power packs.

According to the company, the average smartphone gets replaced after 18 months of purchase, meaning many perfectly usable batteries (with remaining efficiency of around 80%) end up either in the trash or in the bottom of a drawer. The Better Re reuses such batteries to provide extra juice for currently used mobile devices, hitting two birds with one stone.

Customers get another option catering for their protective iPhone case needs with the Fre Power, a ruggedised case featuring a 2600mAh battery within a water, dirt, snow and shock proof design.

According to makers LifeProof the case can double the battery life of the iPhone, with charging activated via button press. LEDs on the back show how much charge the battery carries, while a micro USB port handles charging and iPhone synching duties.

Mophie launches a battery case addition ideal for the summer season-- the Juice Pack H2PRO, a version of the earlier Juice Pack Air battery case for  the iPhone 6 as updated with waterproofing and device protection.

The Juice Pack H2PRO carries a 2750mAh external battery as combined with IP-68 and MIL-STD 810G rated protection against drops, dirt and water. Construction is in "multiple layers of shock-absorbing materials," ports are water-tight and the display gets a built-in protector.

Mophie says the case protects against water at of up to 1.2m for 30 minutes. Meanwhile the screen protector allows regular use of all functions (including buttons and Touch ID) as it defends against scratches and glare.
