SSSSSpeaker - Compact silicone column from Kiev team, which has only recently raised $ 31,111 on Kickstarter. We thought that it generally neubivaemaya and brag about it to all visitors to the stand. But in the end on the second day of the column could not stand the torment and was torn in half.
PS Written on the card is not the final charges, as at press time the project has been active on Kickstarter, eventually sought the sum of $ 30,000 was slightly exceeded.

Polar Pen - pen, which consists of fairly powerful neodymium magnets, which collected $ 800,000 + solid. Stress test fails. Immediately three magnets broke pieces that immediately spoil the look of the handle. That such projects are sometimes substandard even for large gatherings.

3Doodler - first pen 3d-printer which has already heard many. She was second in demand gadget at our stand and our guests constantly it something trying to draw. For two days she clogged twice and both times the yellow plastic, maybe it is in it. Had to look for pliers and twist off the heated head to push the blockage.
Sensu Brush - a brush to paint on touch screen. She was the first place in demand and regularly discharged my plate, which eventually was constantly on charge. So it was that on Boom picnic was quite dusty, so brush soon became poorly responsive to depression. It had to be cleaned of dust every 2-3 hours, and the plate was wiped and that more often.

Calaveras - Very stylish playing cards in the style of the Mexican Day of the Dead. Maps made at the legendary factory Bicycle and they made a very high quality. The downside is worth noting that they too were dusty and stopped so cool slide in hand with card tricks, and disheveled box from under the card because of the many open-close. Overall, the card is not damaged.
Pebble - Kick champions with fees of $ 10 million. and known simply smart watches. They worked well, too, constantly walking on his hands. Twice they zeroed curious users, dropped several times, but the damage hours to no avail. One has only to note that on the second day they are completely discharged, although the first day were loaded on 80%, which in normal operation lasts for a week.

Magic Wallet - the magic purse of Russian guy who collected the 30k on Kickstarter. Hundreds of people came, took him in hand, say they do such a child and with sadness in his eyes read that he had collected the money on Kickstarter. During the stress tests were severely stretched rubber bands in a purse so that the money began to drop. Curiously, the year of its operation so stretched rubber bands were not. But there is a stress test stress test.
