How I'd Wire Jules Cobb From Cougar Town

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:15:36 -0700

Cougar Town's Jules Cobb, played by Courteney Cox, is plenty hip, but a tad behind the times. She seems to have a good handle on her BlackBerry, but if she is going to catch up on everything she missed out on while she was playing young mommy and keep up with the youngsters in her life she's going to need a tech makeover. A lot has happened since the '80s! Jules will have to come to terms with the new tech dating rules and update her gadget drawer so she's ready for sexting, tagging and everything in between. How should she get hooked up? Read on for my sassy suggestions.

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.

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?

Polaroid Beach House: Another Geeky Celeb Spot

GeekSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 12:22:33 -0700

When I think of Polaroid, I think of Polaroid cameras, which at this point have a vintage geek following, but the company is doing its darndest to promote their other products and has jumped on the celebrity beach house bandwagon.

The company has created a lavish $30 million dollar beachfront estate where celebrities and VIPs can enjoy tech toys, private dinner parties, exclusive events, BBQs, clambakes, and beachside activities.

Like the LG Beachhouse, the Polaroid Beach house is located on "the most exclusive stretch of beach in Malibu," and is completely decked out with with the company's TVs and gadgets. The house is decorated by the designers at west elm and features the company's home furnishings and accessories - such as bedding from west elm's new Pure Organic collection and comfy Walton sectional pieces with lots of glam mirrored side tables. It also features a gaming room outfitted with the latest Polaroid LCD TV's, sitting areas with the newest large flat screens and loads of outside space for celebrity photoshoots.

Polaroid has opened the house up for stars like Eva Mendes, Kate Bosworth, Courteney Cox Arquette, Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio and the cast of Entourage. If only we were so lucky.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Leather Cell Necklace/Strap

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:00:57 -0700

I know I have made fun of David Beckham, Courteney Cox and Joel Madden for using dorky belt clips to hold their BlackBerries, but there are some acceptable ways to carry your cell phone on your person without looking like the geeky copy guy. While I'd prefer them to be slimmer, I can't find anything terribly offensive about these leather cell necklaces from Strapya World. They come in a variety of colors and would free up your hands and pockets of your cell, while keeping it near. Of course, once you get that call you expected you can always slip it into your purse.

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?

Protect Your iPhone With Elan Snap-In From Griffin

GeekSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:00:30 -0700

The release of a new device like the Apple iPhone means a whole new market of cases, protectors, sleeves and of course cell phone bling. Because of the iPhone's touch screen, the cases for the device have a unique challenge - protect the screen, but allow the user easy access to the device's functions. While there will inevitably be a small army of cases released in the near future, I have picked through the "first season" in an attempt to find the best case for my own iPhone. One of my favorites, is this Elan Snap-In from Griffin.

It's $24.99, a very small price to pay after springing for the $499+ iPhone, and protects the phone while allowing you to make calls, use the browser or listen to music. I'm pretty opposed to keeping my cell phone on my belt (really, who besides Courteney Cox or your office copy guy does that?), but the case also includes a small clip that swivels 180-degrees on your belt or bag strap.

To read the rest of my review and check out additional images of the Elan Snap-In case from Griffin, read more

For months, geeks have worried about whether scratching the iPhone's screen is unavoidable, to which I say, "yes, it is." The great thing about this cover is that you can use it as a clip/cover while the iPhone is in use and then you can flip the phone around so that the touchscreen faces inward and is protected by the lining of the case. Also, it covers the iPhone’s ambient light sensor, causing the display to darken and saving valuable battery power. If you are organized (i.e capable of turning your phone around in the case when it's not in use) and seeking a light, but sturdy leather case, this one is for you.

David Spade Is A 'CrackBerry Addict'

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 08:27:40 -0700

I am not sure what Keira Knightley, Madonna, Courteney Cox and Britney are going to think of this video comedian (or, as most know him, Heather Locklear's boo) David Spade made poking fun of CrackBerry addicts, but I think it's pretty funny. He's not LOLing people.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Crochet Rose Cellphone Cozy

GeekSugar — Thu, 03 May 2007 07:07:57 -0700

Recently, celebrities like Courteney Cox and Joel Madden have been spotted donning super geeky cell phone clips on their hips. It's a trend that I think is a real shame because designers have begun creating chic options, such as the Rivet Cell Phone Holders. Is there an in between? This handmade Crochet Irish Rose Cellphone Cozy created by Sunshine Creations is a colorful, around the neck alternative. If you like the design, you can actually follow the pattern and make your own.
