We have no idea why we need anything to protect our computer mouses, we’ll just wipe them on our shirts or blow off the dust. However this is simply not enough for the obsessive, so a Japanese company has started selling mouse protectors- and they’re made out of food models. Before you leave your desk for lunch, you can wrap your mouse in Sushi to let everybody know that you’re going Japanese, or a baguette take away if your message were be-right-back. The omlette in the picture is priced at $75, but can surely fit a lot more than just a mouse. –Sam Chan

A banana is the best fruit for lazy people, you don’t have to wash it and you don’t need any tools to peel the skin. The annoying thing about bananas is that they’re so prone to bruising. Even the slightest bump can turn your banana dark, you won’t always be able to pick that up from the outside, but give it a couple of days and it’ll turn nasty. With that in mind, somebody invented the Banana Guard, now with version 2.0- improvements! The shape can now fit more bananas with normal variation, the hinges the locks are all re-designed to be more secure. The banana guard sells for around 7USD and is available in most parts of the world, you can check out the local availability at their website. — Sam Chan

What would you do without a keyboard? It is possible to function only with a mouse; Windows does have a keyboard emulation software built in, but it is neither pretty or fun (forget productive). The keyboard is one of the essential parts of your computer, so why do we thrash them so? We eat at our desks and spill crumbs or even a bit of water every once in a while. What part of the computer recieves the most of your anger when yet another program decides that a “Not-Respondingâ€? message sounds like fun? Your poor keyboard. The iSkin Keyboard Protector won’t help you if you happen to smash it with your fists, but it will protect it from your cracker crumbs and your water spills. The iSkin Keyboard Protector is make of high grade silicone just like so many other covers that iSkin produces. It is available for Macbook, Macbook Pro, Powerbook and Apple Keyboard; they are selling for about $25. Not too bad when you are considering your brand new Apple laptop you saved for months to be able to buy. — Nik Gomez
