Thermaltake is continuing to push its Luxa 2 audio division, with the release of a new portable speaker called the GroovyT Magic Boom Box. It's a small form factor, mobile audio device that breaks the chain of cables and wireless connectivity, by requiring none of that to amplify your smartphone's music playing abilities.

All you have to do with the Luxa2, is place your smartphone on top of the speaker and its angular, vibration amplication will boost whatever audio you're playing to much more impressive levels.

The Luxa2 is available in two colour options, red and black and has enough battery life for up to five and a half hours of play time.  No doubt the fact that it doesn't require bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity keeps it from draining too fast. It does however still take a few hours to fully recharge.

KitGuru Says: Quite an interesting take on the mobile speaker. There's a lot of them out there now and it's difficult to stand out, but maybe this one's lack of cabling or traditional wireless connectivity will help it break free from the pack?

While the initial sheen might have come off the smartphone market (Apple in particular) as it moves to becoming a commodity, it is still a growth industry. But enjoying far greater growth is the accessory industry that has grown around it. KitGuru snags a sighting of a new site – dedicated to all things shiny and smart.

During an fairly standard interview with a European Marketing Manager in 2007, we heard something interesting. Something that was so obviously true, that it has stayed with us.

Asked about the amount of money that a consumer will spend on any given product, our anonymous guru said, “Budget?  The budget that a customer is prepared to spend on a product that will be seen by others, is often a representation of how much they want to express themselves, their individuality. To say ‘Look at me, I am different'”.

When it comes to mobile phones, that is such a truism. While we might have an overall idea of the functionality a new cover/case/headset will bring – the actual decision will be governed more by style than substance in most cases.

The greater the range of options offered, the greater the granularity for each person to say something about themselves.

Luxa2 is the luxury goods arm of Thermaltake and it has been cooking on gas with new design ideas for quite some time.

The problem is that the full range of ‘everything Luxa2 can offer' has not readily available in the market.

Until now.

In the USA, it seems that Luxa2 is pioneering a more direct approach to customer acquisition and conversion with the launch of a brand new store over here.

For now, it seems to be USA only - but we expect more of these to follow

Speaking with KitGuru, Luxa2 Director Jerry Lee said, “Founded in 2009, LUXA2 has committed its mission to provide the best mobile accessories to users, by designing elegant products that offer sleek looks, convenient functionality and attractive pricing”.

“Now, with the launch of LUXA2’s online store”, he explained. “More people will be able to purchase LUXA2’s wide range of mobile accessories and will be able to enjoy special web-only discounts through our eCommerce site”.

Asked which products he thought would be particularly popular around launch, Jerry told us, “Well the H5 Premium Car Mount for Smart Phones is pretty cool. It is an all-aluminum universal mount for any smart device with a display size of 3.2” ~ 4.8”.  It has been designed to hold most mobile phones at a variety of viewing angles – giving you easy access without sacrificing safety”.

Staying with the theme of mobility, Jerry also explained another product, “Our P1 is a high capacity 7000mAh charger. It can give you 7 more hours on your iPad or allow you to boost your iPhone 3.5 times from empty to full!”

KitGuru says: Interesting idea and, without the middle man, could be very price competitive.

Check out the publicity documentation for almost any high end vehicle these days, and you can be sure of one thing. There will be greater investment options available for the in-car entertainment than there will for things like the breaking systems. Luxa2 has launched a neat little product that will enable to to save on entertaining kiddies on the backseat. KitGuru feels the fabric of their fibre.

Anyone who's tried a 2 hour flight with or without a film on their iPad, will know that in-flight entertainment can make all the difference. Even on short-haul, the distraction of a blockbuster etc is enough to give you the ‘takeoff – blink – landing' experience.

For children, that effect is magnified.

Sitting in the back of a car for more than half an hour, can seem like forever – and what parent hasn't suffered the constant distraction of an endless chorus of ‘Are we there yet?' questions shouted from the back seat while you're trying to manoeuvre at high speed.

But so many kids are now getting iPad Minis, that the solution really presents itself. Find a simple, effective, low-cost way to attach an iPad mini to the back of the driver's headrest – and you have an in-car entertainment system that won't smash to the floor if your kid falls asleep.

Enter the Luxa2 MiniCinema ipad Mini case.

We asked Jerry Lee, head of the Luxa2 division for Thermaltake and this is what he told us.

“This cool case is made from genuine leather and has an adjustable strap that attaches quickly and easily to the back of your car’s headrest”, said Jerry.
It has a microfiber interior and gives you full access to ports and controls – while the elastic hand strap can also function as a handgrip, which you might find useful”, he explained.

We asked about the launch price and Jerry said, “It will be on Amazon soon – and very cost effective!”

Strap on, sit back and enjoy. That seems to be the Luxa2 message.

KitGuru says: It will depend on the price, of course, but this kind of harness would be useful to anyone who wants to entertain passengers on the move.

Luxa2 is the ‘executive goodies' division of Thermaltake. While the core company brand deals with chassis etc and Tt eSports handles the pro-gamers kit, Luxa2 focuses on all things Apple. KitGuru checks the latest offers to see if they are really golden and delicious.

Hot on the heels of its gorgeous Alum Luxe iPhone 5 cover, Luxa2 has now extended its range to include 3 new products for the iPad Mini and the designs are certainly attractive to the eye.

Luxa2 Butterfly case for the iPad Mini features an Origami-style design which opens to create a number of support options for your tiny tablet. With metallic corners to protect against bumps and scrapes, the case itself has been formed from soft, supple leather – for that added touch of comfort and luxury.

Luxa 2 Lucca also provides a soft leather exterior for your Apple device, but this time the stand mechanism is magnetised – allowing to to create the viewing angle you want.

Luxa2 Sandstone is for people who are looking more for straightforward protection against the 21st century. It's lightweight, durable and comes in a range of soft colours to suit your character and mood.

In the UK, sales for Luxa2 is handled exclusively by mobile specialist Expansys. Don't worry if the name doesn't sound familiar, they actually carry close to 30,000 product lines and supply customers in over 100 countries – with more than 2 million people a month hitting their sites in 16 languages. Nice work if you can get it.

KitGuru says: Luxa2 has a great eye for design and we'd like them to expand their reach into the UK. Buying accessories over the web is like trying to buy speakers by looking at them.
