September: the month many kids hate and the month parents love as its time to return to school. New year of school represents new challenges, experiences, and more to learn. We here at TGSB want to make sure that you're prepared.
Whether you're going to middle school, high school, or college. We got you covered w/ our picks to help students ace/conquer your school year. Whether you need headphones or laptops or cameras or even a stylus, you'll have no reason not to pass through this year w/ flying colors.
We decided to do things differently this year. We wanted to break our guide down into price points. Kicking things off is our under $100 section. Our Back To School guide awaits.
Cardboard
It took a while but they finally got virtual reality to a great point to actually sell and create content for it. A great starting point for it is Google's Cardboard kit. The 2nd rendition of it works for damn-near any phone now and is super easy to setup & use. Google is already putting good educational uses for it as more is on the way.
$15 Buy
Chromecast
Google's Chromecast easily set a standard for inexpensive streaming devices. This little HDMI stick works w/ tons of apps like HBO Go, YouTube, Netflix, and many more. You can use your phone as a remote control for it as it works for both Android & iOS devices so everyone wins.
$35 Buy
Adonit Jot Pro
Adonit made sure to not make another stylus as the Jot Pro is all about precision. Thanks to the clear disc that's at the end of the tip. Also w/ a built-in clip that allows you to keep on your person at all time or your bag. Also, reasonably priced to pick up more than one if needed.

Mobile Lite 2
Kingston made a tech swiss army knife w/ the Mobile Lite accessory and only got better w/ their 2nd-generation version. This little guy can charge your devices w/ its 4640 mAh battery, USB/SD card reader & extend your storage up to 2TB, wirelessly share + backup files/photos to devices, create a Wi-Fi hotspot thanks to its ethernet port, and more. Ideal for group study sessions or just hanging out w/ friends.

Olloclip
Just because you're in school doesn't mean it has to be all work and no play - especially those of you who have to do it for the 'gram. Of course that's Instagram BTW. Olloclip has your answer to being more creative w/ your photos w/ its 4-in-1 lens accessory. They make one for all things iOS as well as Galaxy S devices.

Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Mouse
If there's one thing Logitech knows how to do, it's accessories. One of the awesome ones on our guide is the MX Anywhere 2 mouse. It is the cheaper baby brother to the MX Master but shares a lot of the same features. It it made to work on almost any surface, can connect to up to 3 devices, choice of hast or clicking scrolling, and connects via Bluetooth or receiver.

Logitech UE Roll
If you're looking for the best Bluetooth speakers, look no further than Logitech. Their latest member of the UE family might just be the best one yet. The UE Roll is super portable, durable, still cranking out 360-degrees of sound, and waterproof. It will be hard to find something that checks off all of these points w/ this price point & quality.
