Greetings!
We pulled together some new products to round out a great summer we hope you all are having. “Style, Performance and Utility” has been the product mantra of Koyono for quite some time. We certainly know that summer is especially challenging for individuals with both minimalist tendencies and design centric cravings. From face to foot, we put together some products we thought you might enjoy to get the most out of these last care-free summer days to unwind the mind and enjoy some R&R. Thinking forward, they also make for fantastic travel accessories when it’s time to get back to our professional and productive lives.
Style
We love t-shirts as they are they are the everyday staple-wear of summer, but also essential when packing for the various environments of travel. From office-to-beach-to-gym, we have you covered with three great fitting and looking Foot Soldier T-Shirts in new colors and style. Pack less and do more. Foot Soldier t-shirts are made simple and fashion-free (they go with just about anything). Also, we are introducing three great sandals from Cobian that range from ironic and casual to something premier that the boldest of you could pull off wearing to your next board meeting.
Performance
When it’s warm, we wear less. When we wear less, there are less pockets to carry and protect all our stuff. We think OtterBox got it right with small, waterproof gadget boxes you can bring to the beach or on your next trip. Made to be leak tight 100 feet below water, OtterBox is great to have with you on a boat or at the beach. They also can be used to protect valuables when traveling for business. What’s more is that under $20, they are quite affordable.
Utility
We are very excited about the In Your Face iPhone and iPod Touch mount. It is one of those products you did not know you needed until you try it. This cleverly designed stand holds your iPhone/iPod securely with or without a case and clamps sturdily to just about anything. You can enjoy having your iPhone/iPod close to your face for immediate accessibility, as well as improved audio for the speaker phone or music.
Last, but not least, we think those clutter-free fanatics out there will really like Cable Clip cord managers from Bluelounge. From iPhone headsets to power cords, the Cable Clips allow you to neatly “untangle the dangle” whether you are at your desk or on-the-go.
Hope you are having a great summer!

Slimmy sales are going very well, particularly after we decided to have Amazon.com fulfill and service the Slimmy. Now that Amazon orders are shipped through another fulfillment center, we are able to better manage inventory, resulting in faster deliveries and overall better service.
Koyono has also worked closely with our manufacturer to make sure there is a steady flow of Slimmy shipments on a regular basis, so there are fewer stockouts, which we had from time to time in the past. This always caused huge headaches for us and customers. While no business is perfect and unexpected events happen, these improvements are making a big difference in our ability to service you – our customers.
Check out Koyono ratings on Amazon. They have really improved over the last few months, as a result of the above changes in our operations.
Thank you!

Here is a very detailed review of the ViewSlimmy SE by Jon Lee.
The Slimmy series is one of the more popular minimalist wallet choices out there. Its selling point is how exceptionally thin it is. It’s not a tri-fold or even a bi-fold, it’s a front pocket wallet meaning it’s thin enough that its meant to be put in your front pocket…
PS – He does point out that Slimmy is Canadian Friendly. Thanks Jon!

We are really excited to bring you some of the best iPad cases and bags on the planet. Once this genius device was released we realized that it would require different protection and carrying solutions than a laptop.
Similar to a mobile phone, the iPad is primarily cradled and moved around by hand, making it prone to dings, dents and scratches. Super thin cases that do not take away from the fluid and free experience of the iPad is something we thought users would welcome. The Incipio Feather and SwitchEasy Nude are both thin, hard-shell cases that provide the right amount of protection without compromising style. Prefer a sleeve you can put in any bag? The Booq Taipan Spacesuit is the perfect solution with a durable construction and futuristic look.
The iPad is not just a device, it’s a lifestyle. Like most of us not really needing a truck to commute, we never really use the full functionality of a laptop for work or leisure. The iPad breaks this paradigm, allowing us to stay connected from anywhere without having to always sit down to use a laptop or trying to do it all through a 3″ smartphone display. We realize that, as people get used to a “less is more” iPad lifestyle, they will want more compact carrying solutions. The Travel Kit Plus and Nylon Carry Sleeve by Incase and the Booq Taipan Shadow XS and Slim XS provide a range of functionality sized right for the iPad.
The design of every mobile device hinges on power. No one likes running out of it and unfortunately, battery technology is not keeping pace with microprocessor and display design. The Incase USB Car and Combo Chargers are perfect for your on-the-go power needs for your iPad, iPhone or iPod.

Hope you’re having a great summer!
