It’s a product that combines the creativity of the  popular hide-a-key products in lawns and landscaping, but with the  unprecedented security of a solid lock box. The RocLok Hide a Key is the  first faux rock key hiding system to incorporate the security of a  combination lock box with the inconspicuous benefits of the traditional faux  rock key hider. With no batteries to change and a built-in combination lock  with 1,000 combinations, the RocLok provides homeowners peace of mind for  less than one visit from the locksmith.

There are indeed many rock hide-a-keys on the market, as well as a sprinkler hide-a-key product and even the numerous concrete bunnies, turtles or frogs that hide a key. But those are now so common that they are easily sought out and found by burglars and can pose a security problem for homeowners. RocLok provides an easy, effective and affordable solution to that problem.

What also makes the RocLok Hide a Key uniquely beneficial, is that where other faux rocks are small in size and comprised of fiberglass and plastic, the RocLok is a realistic size and weight and the cement based material adapts naturally with its environment.  RocLok comes in many shapes and sizes and ranges in weight from 4 to 12 lbs. RocLok comes in five different rock types to match natural stones in various parts of the country. It is also built to withstand the harshest weather and age naturally like real
rocks and stones.

“As a former real estate broker, I wasn’t fond at all of the key hiding and security options on the market,” says RocLok inventor and company President Ryan Belshee. “Contractor lock boxes were glaringly obvious and frankly easy to break into – and small key hiders were unrealistic looking so they were easy to spot. So I combined the best of both worlds and developed RocLok.”

The RocLok sells for $64.95 and is available at: www.roclok.com as well as a growing number of stores nationally. A store locator page is featured on the site.

Most likely, since summer is around the corner, families will be planning those backyard bar-b-ques and parties. One essential party must-have is music! I had the chance to review the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker.

Our daughter had her 6th grade continuation yesterday, which meant a party afterwards! We had ice cream sundaes, set up a slip-n-slide and hooked up the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker to the iPod Touch. The sound on this speaker is absolutely amazing and crystal clear. No more lugging a big stereo outside and around the house.

I have to admit, when I first saw it and opened the package, I had my doubts about it. It was so…tiny, but boy does it pack a punch! At $79, this is a great investment. The uses for it are endless – parties, every day home use, camping, vacations – and on and on.

Here are a few more details from their official press release:

The WOWee One, the most innovative, pocket-sized, rechargeable speaker for mobile devices, iPods, laptops, iPhones, netbooks, iPads and personal game systems, is now available in North America. The self-contained $79 device lasts up to 20 hours before recharging and delivers room-filling sound by deploying patented technology that turns whatever the WOWee ONE sits on into a dynamic subwoofer.

The WOWee One unleashes your music by allowing you to pump out tunes or other audio without it sounding thin or faint. A wall, window, desk, table, cooler or cardboard box…even the floor joins the party with a WOWee One on it.

The WOWee One uses a unique dual-speaker solution in a single unit that houses an internal rechargeable battery to deliver thumping lows and clear highs. A top-firing speaker provides high-range fidelity for crisp sound reproduction. A down-firing speaker uses patented Gel AudioTM technology to project low-frequency sound waves that turn adjoining objects or surfaces into an on-the-fly subwoofer. For $79 the WOWee One delivers more dynamic sound right out of the pocket than products costing and weighing more than three times as much.

The WOWee One boasts a dynamic response range of 40Hz – 20KHz and reaches 90 decibels yet weighs only 7 ounces. The unit measures just 4.7″ by 2.4″ by 1″, ideal for a pocket, handbag, backpack, or glove compartment, so it’s always handy.

The WOWee One connects to the audio/headphone jack of any mobile device and comes with a standard 3.5mm audio cable. The unit also features a mini-USB port for charging or powering the WOWee One when connected to a standard powered USB port. A self-adhering and easily removable bracket that mounts the WOWee One to walls or windows is also available.

They say it holds a charge for about 20 hours and that is very accurate. We’ve been using it since receiving it about a week ago and it finally gave out at the party yesterday. All the kids were asking, ‘What is THAT? It’s awesome!’

If you want a speaker that is going to give you quality sound, incredible bass and is little enough to take anywhere, I would highly recommend the WOWee One Power Bass Portable Speaker! Check out more about this product at their official website.
