Crystal-Studded Laptop Covers: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I can't help but get a bit of satisfaction and pleasure from personalizing my gadgets — especially with fun new decals and chic new cases. So when PartySugar gave me a glittery-gold sticker to put on the back of my cell phone (it was the first initial of my name), I absolutely loved it. The sticker has since worn off (call it overuse of the phone if you will), but I'm always on the look out for sparkly new accessories to jazz up my gadgets.
Cell Phones Protected by Crystals and Glitter
I knew I had my fill of pink gadgets when I was cruising around CES a couple of weeks ago, but who knew I'd see so many bedazzled cell phone cases!
The following cases are a far cry from Case-Mate's diamond encrusted iPhone case, but they are inexpensive and fit on a variety of cell phone models. Some are covered with glitter while others, like the BlackBerry Pearl case, have crystals surrounding the screen area.
Battle Seasonal Affective Disorder With Golla Gadget Bags
I'm looking for signs of Spring anywhere I can get it, and when I saw these laptop and cell phone bags from Finnish company Golla at CES, I knew they would seriously stave off my winter doldrums. So bright and cheery — Wouldn't you agree that the lower pattern looks very much like another Finnish company Marimekko, no?
I have liked what Golla has brought to the table in the past, and these prints continue to be pretty and stylish without being too girly, which is exactly the balance I like to see.
The Bang & Olufsen Samsung Serenata
High tech signature design company Bang & Olufsen has teamed up with Samsung to create this elegant yet simple cell phone, the Serenata.
Both companies worked together to create a phone that people would want to keep—a unique phone that is both timeless in design and technology. Hence the name Serene, which reflects
the core concepts of elegant simplicity and refined minimalism.
CES 2008: Geeks, Gadgets, and Good Times
As much as I'd like to think that I've showcased the best of the best from CES, I know that there's just so much more I'd like to share. It's now time to say good-bye to CES '08 as we embark on another tech adventure — Macworld! Here's a video to highlight our whirlwind experience at CES and some of the things that made it such a memorable week.
Versa Flexible Tripod: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Traditional tripods are usually large, hard to carry and aren't that great to look at. Thankfully companies like Versa are coming out with small, flexible tripods that are great for hands-free photo shoots. I've seen similar models like this design including the all terrain tripod, but I've never seen such a bright color selection before!
What Pink CES Gadget Do You Like The Best?
I certainly got my fill of randomness at CES, which included alot of pink gadgets—some hot, while others not so much. From media players to gadget accessories, televisions and mp3 players—you name it, they had it! Have a look at the ones below and tell me which one you like the best (if any)!
CES 2008: Hands On Philips Active Crystal Devices
Last week at CES I got the chance to check out some of the Active Crystal USB Memory Keys from Philips and Swarovski. These Active Crystal flash drives are as luxurious in person as they appear to be on the product site. Made from polished stainless steel and silver shade crystals set in ceralun, this USB device comes disguised in a lovely lock.
Built Laptop Backpack: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
I've always wanted to try-out Built's laptop cases — You know the company behind the funky and flexible lunch bag totes? Well at CES, I got a sneak-peek of Built's latest addition to their laptop tote collection, the lightweight backpack. This ultra-slim bag fits right against your back and can be used to transport your laptop and other items as the shoulder strap includes an easy-access compartment.
Would You Want a Motorized TV Under Your Bed?
I don't know why I'm so fascinated with luxury gadgets. It's probably because they are usually intricate, flashy, and I can never afford them. I was hoping to see more luxury electronics at CES this year, but I did manage to come across this bad boy—The K2 Mounts under the bed lift.
