Obama Hides His BlackBerry in a Cell Phone Holster

GeekSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:00:45 -0800

Well wouldn't you know. President-elect Barack Obama was snapped this past weekend in Hawaii sporting not only his beloved BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Smartphone, but more shockingly, it was in a belt holster!

Considering a majority of you don't wear a cell on your belt - and let's be honest, we can't all be as stylin' as David Beckham - I'm surprised the trend-setting Obama is a holster kinda guy. But then again, he was our favorite BlackBerry obsessed cell phone celeb of 2008, and it's still up in the air whether he'll be able to keep it, so for now, we can't blame the guy for keeping the gadget goods glued to his side.

Do You Wear Your Cell on Your Belt?

GeekSugar — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:00:40 -0700

I found myself gawking at Kate Hudson's cute hair on the set of Bride Wars and almost missed that she's wearing her BlackBerry tucked into her shorts.

We've established that most of you like David Beckham's belt clip style, but don't love it on female celebrities like Courteney Cox. The thing is, people usually clip out of necessity or habit - it appears Kate is filming a workout scene so it would be silly for her to tote a purse just for her cell. Do you wear your cell on your waistband or belt?

Colorful Crocs Made For Cell Phones

I wish there was an ounce of me that thought Croc shoes were cool. I never quite succumbed to the Croc shoes mania that ensued a few years ago, but I did get a pair, just to fit in with those (my entire family) that had them. The people that do look adorable wearing Crocs are little kids, who would also look super-cute sporting one of these Croc cell-phone cases. SlashGear notes that these cases are set to be released in Europe on May 1. Colors will include black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy, and turquoise and will cost around $15 each.

Best of Plushie Cell Phone Holders

GeekSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 07:00:15 -0800

Accessory makers are churning out plushies - small stuffed animals or characters - so fast that even the most serious fanatic can't keep up. While I don't see any purpose in collecting regular plushies, I have fallen for the cell phone holders, which make fun desktop accessories.

I'm currently in love with the Plushie cell phone holder by Bale Living. It comes in pink, blue, green and orange and costs 4.95.

Most plushies are inexpensive so when it comes to purchasing one you should pick bright colors that will add a youthful flare to your desktop and cheer you up. If you get sick of it you can always get a new one, or pass it on to a kid. Check out the widget of my favorite plushies below.

Love It Or Leave It: David Beckham With Cell Phone Clip

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:00:48 -0700

It was almost excusable when we caught Courteney Cox and Joel Madden rocking chunky cell phone holders, but when Molly caught the always fashionable David Beckham hanging with his boys and wearing his BlackBerry on his belt it was just, well, heinous.

I understand he probably doesn't want to cover up the beautiful assets he recently displayed in W Magazine, but even a man purse would look better than this belt clip.

Becks baby, you can't rock Victoria's shiny new Bentley and a $9 cell phone holder at the same time. I may not be as chic as FabSugar, but this much I know. What do you think? Do you love Becks' cell phone clip and all or should he lose it?

Why Do Celebrities Love Ugly Cell Phone Clips?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:00:34 -0700

Last week PopSugar reported that Courteney Cox hit up Il Sole with her daughter, little Coco. I couldn't help but notice the usually chic Cox was sporting an awkward, "this was inspired by a 47-year-old business man" cell phone clip on her belt.

Sadly, Courteney isn't the only celebrity to commit this major geek faux paux. Nicole Richie's fella Joel Madden was also spotted wearing his BlackBerry on his hip recently, leading me to believe that somewhere there are a pack of stylists or personal assistants encouraging the use. Yes, I know, they are important, busy people, but your phone shouldn't be worn as an accessory in any circumstance.

As always, my advice is to get a more chic and discreet cell phone holder, which will allow you to keep your phone within reach, but not attached to your body.

Wondering what these freaky deaky creatures are? Amigo has created these unique Leather Desk Accessories (which range in price from $27 to $38) to spice up any work space. Check out the red kangaroo which is a perfect place for your cell and the green caterpillar, an ideal paper, pencil and staple holder.

Rivet Cell Phone Holders

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:00:51 -0800

Forget weird belt clips or tacky cell phone covers, Rivet Cell Phone Holders are a unique wrap that will keep your phone easily accessible and fashionable. I personally hate digging around in my purse for my phone or keeping it in my pocket for quick access, so this is a great option. It seems as though your phone will be kept safe and secure as each holder is lined with special grip material so there won't be any slippage!

Each are priced at $35 and come in styles like beige leather, black crocodile, black with bow and gold rhinestone. Check them out below.

Mink Cell Phone Holder: Would You Use It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 15:34:01 -0800

Do you wear fur? Does your cell phone? Because this Mink Cell Phone Holder is not understated in the least.

I searched for the word 'faux' in the description, but nada - this appears to be the real deal.

And proving that the recession has even hit Kimora Lee Simmons-types hard, the formerly live cell phone holder's price has been slashed from $240 to $96 (and it's a final sale, so be sure you want the fuzzy critter around your phone), which I personally would not.

Tell me, even if you're not antifur, would you be pro this?

Spiderman Car Cell Phone Holder: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:42:21 -0700

If you're one of the good people in California, like Seal, who has sworn off using their cell phone while driving because of the new law, then maybe you will appreciate this car cell phone holder. Oh, and you love Spiderman? You're all set.

Whether you hit up a Bluetooth device or a headset, it would be great to have something like this to hold your phone secure while you cruise and gab. But, I'm not four years old, alas, so I have to leave this product (but love the idea). What do you think?
