Beyond The Box has made an impression to me this past year. Their fast service and friendly staff are enough reasons for me to keep visiting them for all my techie needs. From case and gadget protectors, to external hard drive and even photography lessons, their branding pretty much speaks for themselves – Beyond The Box.
2015 has been really great for Digits Trading, the leading gadgets and lifestyle product distributor in the Philippines and also the company behind retail shops Beyond The Box and sibling shop, Digital Walker. As both retail stores expanded in the past year and have gained following and recognition in different social media sites.
To close the year right, Digits Trading unveiled its “Best of 2015”, a list featuring the coolest and most popular technology accessories of the year. Innovative product features and strong customer demand in the company-owned stores – Beyond The Box and Digital Walker, as well as partner stores around the country – made these products the best-sellers in their respective categories.
The products included in the Best of 2015 list are ready for consumers looking to stock up on Christmas gifts for their loved ones. They can look for them at Beyond The Box and Digital Walker branches nationwide.
The unveiling happened last week at Hole In The Wall, in Century City Mall. Media and everyone who are friends and fans of Digits Trading gathered over good food (my pick was my fave, Bad Bird) and great tech accessories.
The event was made even more fun with Bogart The Explorer. He made me laugh hard the entire time with his genuine Australian accent. I swear, I couldn’t stop laughing (as seen on my snaps that day) that I barely had enough room for dessert, but still my heart said to my stomach “Come on, man up and make room for dessert!” LOL. The unveiling of the best 12 tech products was accompanied by a quick Q&A and the fastest one to answer gets a chance to win one of the 12 products listed. OMG. Everyone got very competitive. I usually am a competitive person but since I couldn’t concentrate on the questions – si Bogart kasi, masyado akong aaliw, gusto ko siyang iuwi, I swear! – I didn’t bother participate and let the more competitive people in the room get it! Congratulations to everyone who won that day, Ro of Animetric included! 😉
Anyway, so here’s the Best of 2015 from Digits Trading. Choose your pick (LOL) na guuuuys, pa-wish list na yan!

Capture more creative photos with the Momax Selfie Hero Pod Stick. With its Bluetooth remote control, you can take images at more diverse angles and distances. Impress your friends as you unleash your multi-angle and 720º shots with its Selfifit feature.
My favourite from the 12 products are the Urbanears Plattan Wireless Headphone, Jaybird X2 Wireless Earbuds (I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!), Booestace Battery Case (I used to own one for my iPhone 5) and the Momax Selfie Hero Pod Stick. These are such practical and handy dandy accessories for my gadgets!
