The headset is compatible with Google Cardboard and works great for YouTube 360 degree videos as well.

You can get them in various colours and designs and the Pop Clip can even be purchased separately if required.

USB-powered portable laptop cooler: Rs 999
One of the common complaint users with heavy work requirements have is that their laptops tend to get uncomfortably hot. If the laptop becomes too hot it even shuts down on its own to prevent any damage. To solve this issue, you can invest in a USB powered laptop cooler. Just place the laptop cooler on your laptop’s heat vents and connect it to a USB port for power. The laptop cooler has a silent fan that sucks out the hot air from your laptop to keep it cool.

Waterproof bike mobile stand: Rs 599 Onwards
There are multiple options available when you look for a dock or stand for your mobile in a car. For bike users it’s a different story. They have to keep the phone protected from dust and water so mounting using a standard clamp is not recommended.
Instead, get a waterproof mobile stand. It has a weather sealed pouch in which your phone can be placed for protection and has a touch compatible transparent membrane on top for viewing and operating the touchscreen.
