cell phone cases

You're killin' me Violet May! Not only was I obsessed with your hot silver snakeskin computer clutch, and your gold python BlackBerry purse, but you have to go and chum the accessory waters again with these new and limited edition BlackBerry and iPhone purses.

Just when I thought I could safely browse the Internet without pitting all other gadget purses against yours, you work your way back into my battered heart with your chic bags. The Violet May Limited Edition purse for BlackBerry breaks out of the previous mold by wrapping my BB in a silver stingray patterned body, with the signature python print trim. Although the limited edition is helping to ease my obsession with the shiny silver snakeskin, the prices are still way over my gadget accessory budget at $330 dollars. Why, oh why, can't I quit you, Violet May?

Whether it be Winter or Summer, Reese Witherspoon manages to keep her gadgets bubbly and bright all year long! Just six months ago, the blond beauty was spotted with a BlackBerry Curve smartphone adorned in a lime green gel case. Not long after, she upgraded her Curve with the Bold, which was rockin' a hot pink BB case.

And just recently, while out during a shopping excursion, Reese looked pretty adorable trying to free up her hands with her BlackBerry's earpiece — guess that means we can add her to the hands free cell phone list?!

I know I talk a ton of game about the iPhone around here, but don't think for a second that I don't have my eye out for knockout accessories for other types of cell phones. Take these high fallutin' HTC Touch HD Metallic Cases ($35) that look pretty expensive but are totally pocketbook friendly.

Engraved and available in two styles and colors (silver and titanium, naturally), these cases protect your hard-working HTC from scratches and bruises. Plus, the included mirrored screen protector turns your cell into a nice little compact for you to use on-the-go. Functional and fabulous — that's my kind of gadget.

Looking for a subtle and sweet way to showcase your Apple love without having to pin a colorful logo on your shirt or sleeve? Double or triple your dose of apples each day by covering your iPod, iPhone, or laptop with a fresh and fruity printed case or tote.

This Little Apple Sunshine Pouch ($8) wasn't designed specifically for gizmos, but it would make a fetching combined iPod, iPhone, and lip gloss pouch. Check out some additional apple-inspired totes, cases and carriers in the widget below!

Say you're not as depraved as I am — using pillowcases as laptop sleeves and whatnot. Say you like to use dedicated bags to keep your gadgets organized and orderly (more power to ya!) — then check out Kangaroom's totally practical (and as a bonus, adorable) Velvet Media Bags.

It's just $20 for a set of four, and each cute drawstring bag has the gadget it's intended for embroidered on the front — there's an MP3 player, a cell phone, a camera, and a larger one for cords (great for travel since my box technique won't work on the road).
