Cell Phones Protected by Crystals and Glitter

GeekSugar — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:11:42 -0800

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. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a case that's a little less flashy. . . Although if I had to pick a favorite, this one would definitely be it. Have a peek at the ones below and tell me which one appeals to you the most!

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. Now all they need to do is make a pretty floral one for the MacBook Air, and I'll be all set! Check out more styles below!

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. It also includes 1GB of storage (roughly storing 250 songs or 1000 photos) and is password protected. Both the heart and the lock cost $178 each.

CES 2008: Hands On Samsung's Giorgio Armani Phone

Having the chance to finally check out Samsung's sleek Giorgio Armani phone during CES was an experience in itself. I loved its haptic feedback user interface which causes an immediate slight vibration whenever an icon is touched. This is used to indicate that the phone has accepted your input-a unique yet useful feature which is also found on LG's Voyager.
The fashionable Armani phone also includes tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM, a 3-megapixel camera, a 2.6-inch LCD touchscreen, bluetooth, a full internet browser, and support for AAC/MP3 or WMA audio and MPEG-4 video. The Giorgio Armani-Samsung phone is available in selected mobile phone stores in the U.S. and Giorgio Armani boutiques in major European countries.

I was beyond ecstatic when I got to check out an Ego lifestyle laptop up close and personal this week at CES. The Ego Signature is crafted personalized and assembled completely by hand, boasting a glitter-covered keyboard and an exotic exterior. What's great about Ego laptops is the ability to personalize your laptop with a unique leather or fabric skin or add embroidered initials or symbols. This chic laptop runs on Windows Vista and includes a 64-bit processor, a built-in webcam, a bass reflex sound system and an anti-reflection high resolution screen for indoor and outdoor use. Functional and fabulous, just what the doctor ordered!
