Crowdfund Roundup bugYou don’t need to carry your smartphone to enjoy Spotify on the go anymore. Mighty is the tiny, lightweight Spotify player that’s ideal for runners and outdoor adventurers who want to leave their hefty smartphone at home.

It’s just one of the awesome ideas in this week’s Crowdfund Roundup. We also have the world’s smartest sleep mask, an iPhone battery case that brings back the headphone jack, and more.

KeyClip Wallet 2.0 — combine your everyday carry

The KeyClip Wallet 2.0 organizes everything you might need to carry in your pockets. It holds keys, credit cards, USB flash drives, mini tools, and more in a slim and lightweight package that’ll slide into any pocket.

KeyClip is customizable, so you can configure it to carry exactly what you need. It’s made up of two parts: a stainless steel clip that holds credit cards and bills, and a cover that retains things like keys, tools, and tiny flashlights.

KeyClip starts at just $25 on Kickstarter, but you can pledge more to get yours with things like an omnidirectional flashlight, a USB drive, and a 4-in-1 tool included. It’s scheduled to begin shipping in June; order yours now to take advantage or early bird pricing.

Dreamlight — the world’s smartest sleep mask

Get a better night’s sleep with Dreamlight, the world’s smartest sleep mask. Using light, sound, and genetics, Dreamlight can help you fall asleep faster and wake up with more energy. It offers customized recommendations for sleep improvement, and can even help you recover from jet lag.

Dreamlight uses sound to help you enter a relaxed state, and light to calm you into meditation and optimize your surroundings for a deep sleep. When you start wearing it, it learns your sleep habits then offers tips that could help improve your time between the sheets.

Dreamlight tracks your sleep data and syncs it with your smartphone so you can keep an eye on your progress. It’s comfortable to wear all night long, with a design that minimizes pressure on sleep-affecting areas of the face.

To get your own Dreamlight as soon as they begin shipping this April, make a pledge of $199 through Indiegogo today. You’ll save 33 percent on the regular retail price of $299.

AudioMod — the iPhone battery case with a headphone jack

If you’re still pining for the iPhone’s headphone jack, or you wish battery life could be a little bit better, you need AudioMod. It’s an iPhone battery case with a built-in headphone jack that lets you use all your favorite headphones and keeps your iPhone running longer in between charges.

AudioMod’s 3200-4600mAh backup battery (depending on which model you buy) doubles your iPhone’s battery life, while its built-in DAC gives you 24-bit high-resolution audio. Its slim design won’t weigh you down too much, and its 1-year warranty keeps you protected.

AudioMod is scheduled to begin shipping this May. It has already surpassed its funding goal on Indiegogo, but there’s still time to pre-order yours for as little as $59.

Mighty — enjoy Spotify without a smartphone

If you want to listen to Spotify on your run, you need to carry your smartphone. But not if you have Mighty, the world’s first on-the-go Spotify player.

Mighty is small, lightweight, and durable, and you can attach it to almost any item of clothing. Its built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity lets you sync tracks and playlists from Spotify on your smartphone, with enough space for 1,000+ songs.

Mighty is compatible with wired and wireless headphones, and it lasts around five hours in between charges. It’s water-resistant, and it has the ability to automatically sync with your smartphone every night so that your playlists are always up-to-date.

Mighty is ready to ship now. You can order yours for $86 through Indiegogo.

Sonic Soak — the ultrasonic cleaning tool

Sonic Soak uses ultrasonic cleaning technology to clean almost anything. Toys, watches, jewelry, clothes, even fruits and vegetables can be 99.9 percent cleaner without the need for harsh cleaning chemicals. All you need is Sonic Soak and a bowl of water.

Sonic Soak generates modulated ultrasonic waves that travel through the water to clean at the microscopic level. It’s smaller and lighter than an iPhone so you can literally use it anywhere, and it’s almost silent when it’s hard at work.

Sonic Soak has well surpassed its funding goal on Indiegogo and is scheduled to start shipping next month. To claim yours, make a pledge of $150 today.
