Remember the slim profile of the first Motorola RAZR back in 2004? It was a game changer. Now, Motorola returns with a newer and even slimmer RAZR that comes in both black and white. It's skinny at 7.1mm, however, the RAZR does have a “protrusion” on the top that’s 11.1mm thick, but for a smartphone this is still considered svelte. If you feel a device this light and slim would be fragile, worry not as the screen is made out of scratch-proof Gorilla Glass, and Kevlar - yes, that’s right Kevlar…

Consider us smitten by these headphones we found online. Worn like an Alice band, Molami's Twine headphones masks the speaker elements under a layer of silk-chiffon-satin fabric and holds itself in place with an elastic-back. While this won't make the ideal set of cans for pounding the pavement or time at the gym, wearing this will make a great talking point for a solo day out shopping. The brand also makes headphones and earbuds made with super luxe materials like Napa leather and stingray hide. Covetable! Priced from EU$150, Molami…

Because of its portability, the DS 7700 has a metal-covered plastic plate that you can magnetically attach over the unit to prevent scratches but it would be even better if a…

For something this svelte, it's a welcome surprise that this device is equipped with the 8x optical zoom, which allows close-ups without compromising on resolution. That’s like having Kate Moss who is a…
