For travellers that hate the bulkiness of the British 3-pin plug, the Flip plug allow the plug to be folded into a compact flat form factor for packing away into the luggage bag. Prices below.
The Flip comes in three designs to cater to varying power needs. From left: Flip Duo (S$39), Flip Quad (S$59), Flip Power (S$69).
The Flip is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign which raised £28,115 from 1,140 backers, exceeding their initial goal of £15,000.
Where to buy
The Flip Duo (S$39), Flip Quad (S$59) and Flip Power (S$69) plugs are now available at all Antė stores, EpiCentre, iStudio, Robinsons, TwoBros Lifestyle & Gadget Store and We the People.
Each purchase includes One (1) Year Limited Warranty.
Measuring in at a mere 18mm when folded, the Flip is only a third of the standard British plug’s thickness.
When folded, the pins are hidden away when not in use, protecting your devices and other items from scratches when stored together with the Flip.
To use, simply press the auto-release button, lock the pin and you are ready to go.

The “Beyond Boundaries” photo exhibition showcases Laxmi’s photos from multiple visits to the Kashmir. This story first appeared on The Travel Memoir.
Here you can see the photographer, Laxmi Kaul with one of her subjects.. A juxtaposition of the modern Indian woman with one in traditional garb.
Beyond Boundaries presents Laxmi Kaul and her journey with the people and nomads of Kashmir, where life is about simplicity, serenity and sincerity.
“After shooting in a highly turbulent & conflict–ridden area, I have realized that it is the everyday lives of the people living there that matter to me. They are the ones who makes me want to go back to and continue to narrate their stories. Their daily lives & cultures. I have discovered there is something special in the everyday; for one, we are alive,” said Laxmi Kaul.
What goes on around the borders?
Sometimes life is about the unplanned moments, the appreciation of nature and how civilisations interact.
Laxmi Kaul is a self -taught professional photographer, having started photography at a young age when she saw her father’s passion for making images.
Since then, she has never looked back.
Despite being a commercial photographer, she still holds people and documentary photography closest to her heart.
Laxmi connects with spirituality in daily life and travels with a patriotic zeal.
This photo is one of many beautiful shots that Laxmi Kaul is exhibiting at the Leica Galleries Singapore at Raffles Hotel Singapore from now till 5 December, 2016. Photo credit: Laxmi Kaul.
She believes the camera is her tool and photography is an extension of her very being.

Prices start from $1,430 for the RIMOWA Limbo Multiwheel® Electronic Tag and $1,710 for RIMOWA Topas Multiwheel® Electronic Tag (price may vary according to size and luggage model).
Subiksha Krishnan was at the launch in Singapore and reports below.
The RIMOWA Electronic Tag was presented for the first time at the FTE Global (Future Travel Experience) 2015 in Las Vegas, the airline industry’s leading conference, and was awarded the ‘Best Baggage Initiative’ award at the show.
The RIMOWA Electronic Tag lets travelers use their smartphones to check in their suitcase from home and drop it off quickly at the airport without fuss or time pressure.
Where to purchase
The RIMOWA Electronic Tag will be available from RIMOWA Singapore stores located at Mandarin Gallery #01-11, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands Casino Level #B2M-217/218 and Suntec City (North Wing) #01-476.
The RIMOWA app activates and personalises the RIMOWA Electronic Tag and the airline app identifies the personalised piece of luggage.
The data for the booked flight is sent to the selected piece of luggage via Bluetooth and the data appears on the integrated Electronic Tag display.
The suitcase is then checked in and placed within seconds in the check-in stations.
With an estimated 3.5 billion people travelling by plane this year, of which most are likely to be smartphone users, the shift from analog to digital is only logical. RIMOWA’s Electronic Tag connects travellers’ suitcases seamlessly to the digital world.
The Electronic Tag gives one freedom while travelling by allowing users to check in their suitcase wherever they are.
The tag replaces the conventional paper label with an innovative data module that receives luggage data from the airline.
The size and display corresponds to the typical paper labels we see now.
The user can also receive the luggage data for their flight and transfer it directly to the suitcase easily, saving time.
The RIMOWA Electronic Tag eliminates unnecessary stress and waiting as well.
Once the app checks in the luggage, it can be placed within seconds in the semi or fully automatic drop-off stations.
This gives travelers more time for themselves and does not involve waiting in long queues at the airport. It is fast and uncomplicated.
The tag will also continue to show the tag display even when the batteries run out thus, ensuring that the luggage is transported to the correct location.

A new dawn to a new day. A new year for a new beginning.
I hope this sunrise is symbolic of the hope that the new year brings to those looking for a new beginning in their lives. Taken handheld using a Nikon D750 with AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens. Photo credit: John Tan.
Here’s wishing everyone a fantastic 2016, a new year that will bring new aspirations and immense fulfillment.
About the photo
Snapped this shot while strolling on the beach in Thailand a few weeks ago in pre-dawn darkness.
It was a rare shot for me in that the horizon was clear of the usual haze and layer of clouds so the rising sun could be seen emerging from the horizon itself.
It was breathtaking how the nascent sun lit up the sky with golden and red hues as it tore itself from the horizon.
