I don’t need to say anything. The 7 for All Mankind site says it all. Here we go.

We are in a big fight with fashion Goliath 7 for All Mankind (a VF Corp. brand) for infringing on our Slimmy® trademark. We sued them in February of this year, and rather than doing the right thing to stop their infringement, they now are trying to crush us. This is a classic David vs. Goliath battle and we know how that story went down.
There is a blatant double standard this behemoth company lives by, about which we will share more in a separate post, and we think it is completely unacceptable and out of line. The bottom line is that 7 For All Mankind (7FAM) continues to use our Slimmy® trademark without our permission and they will do all they can to stick it to the small guy.
Look at this motion they filed yesterday to amend their answer, defenses and counterclaims. Pretty serious stuff and they are being far from nice. The good news for us is that the United States Congress just passed H. R. 1249 (Leahy-Smith America Invents Act), which President Obama will sign very soon. What does this mean? Their heavy handed attempts to crush us amount to diddly-squat. Just read Section 16.
Stay tuned. We refuse to be pushed around by the biggest apparel company in the world and one of the largest law firms on the planet.

If you are wondering why the Slimmy wallet is not on Amazon.com, it is because of a glitch. Their engineers are working to resolve the matter and Slimmy should be back up in the next 24 hours. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Style
Let’s face it, gadgets and the accessories you use to carry and protect them are fashion statements as much as clothes and shoes. Unfortunately, there are still a lot of products out there that simply do not make our SPU cut. Most of the time, they are over designed and err toward being too functional and/or they have simply bad taste. That’s why we love QWSTION, Incase and SwitchEasy products, because they offer the perfect balance of form and function. Introducing the QWSTION Raw Canvas bag line, and universal iPhone 4 cases from Incase and SwitchEasy. Last, but not least, is Incase’s Flex Wristband for the iPod nano 6G.
Performance
Sometimes life calls for rigorous travel, and no pro ever wants to worry about their bag failing in mid-flight. There are no better made bags on the planet than those from Booq. We are pleased to introduce two modern MacBook briefcases that are sure to make a serious statement. Introducing the Booq Viper Semi-Rigid Rush Case and Taipan Checkpoint Friendly Lift.
Utility
We saved the best for last with a cornucopia of gadget accessories that meet your on-the-go utility needs for work, hobby or pleasure.
Cocoon’s GRID-IT! gadget organizers and their minimal Soho messenger bag are for all of us who like large compartments and a place for everything.
Joby has done it again with their GorillaMobile for iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 3G. Entertain yourself and never miss that perfect shot.
If you are a free agent, it’s hard to completely untether from work when on vacation. It is possible, however, to be more discreet about it and avoid being annoying with the Incase iPad Origami Workstation.
Can’t stand running out of power? Either can we. That’s why we brought on the Solio Mono-i Solar USB Charger and Battery. Plug into the sun and have a spare battery whenever you are off the grid.
The last utility accessory actually has nothing to do with electronic gadgets. The PocketToolX Brewzer is for all of us who love making a statement with what we carry in our pocket. This is not your father’s bottle opener.
