Twig Case

I was searching for an iPhone case that was made in the USA - there are not very many choices, but I found one and purchased it from Twig.

The case itself is very eco-friendly, using materials that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and the Rainforest Alliance.  And it's wallet-friendly too - the one I chose was $20 USD.  They have a lot of neat options for their cases too, some that are quite artistic.  I just got a plane one - I just need to protect it from drops (which I've done before...).  Should arrive in a few days - can't wait!

Apogee Electronics

I write & record music on my laptop.  It's been a long evolution for my 'studio'.  Way back in the '80's I had a 4-track cassette recorder, lots of outboard effects, mixing board, guitar, bass guitar, drum machines, keyboards, microphones, cables, etc.  Now it's just guitars, a laptop, and an audio interface.

For the audio interface, I use Apogee Electronics.  Apogee makes great stuff - crystal clear, lots of dynamic range, great pre's, intuitive GUI's.  And they make all of there stuff in the USA.  Rock on...
