Summer is right around the corner, so you’re going to be packing away your warmer clothes in favor of something cooler. You’ll also need new accessories to complete the look. Start by replaced your big purse with the fashion-friendly smartphone clutch from Bazaared that puts everything you need when you’re out and about in your back pocket.

Available in Sky Blue, Wine Red, and Hot Pink, this zip wallet usually retails at $39 — but thanks to Cult of Android Deals you can get it for just $19 for a limited time. That’s a saving of 51%!

The Patagonia MiniMass commuter bag ($69) is my first taste of Patagonia’s gear, and I’ve always wondered if their stuff was worth the hype. The company has a bit of a reputation — perhaps fair, perhas not — as the outdoor industry’s bourgeois player, probably due to generally higher prices than the competition, an innovative design ethic and the use of green materials throughout their line.

But Patagonia has also spawned a fanatical following. I once worked with someone who literally camped outside the company’s Southern California headquarters (it sits literally right aross the road from the beach) in the hopes she’d be hired. She wasn’t, but toting around my tablet in the the fantastic little MiniMass let me grasp why she tried.

The MiniMass is the smallest sibling in Patagonia’s family of courier bags (all of which end in “Mass” — a nod to the Critical Mass bicycle movement). This makes the MiniMass a perfect tablet carrier. And even though it isn’t explicitly to ferry tablets, it excels in the task.
