Felt Gameboy iPhone Case Is Retro Chic

GeekSugar — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:30:56 -0700

I'm always on the lookout for adorable iPhone cases - the more unique the better! I love to keep a supply on hand for some variety. I've covered my favorite handmade cases before and was bummed that the Gameboy case was sold out.

Luckily, I stumbled across this Gameboy iPhone case ($25). I'm partial to classic white, but the case comes in bright pink, blue, green, or yellow too. Cases are made from felt to prevent scratches, and I think they're an adorable throwback to a classic geeky gadget.

What do you think of these? Would you rock one?

Gameboy Plushies Custom Made to Your Liking

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 13:40:55 -0700

I don't know why I've been on such an art and crafts binge lately, but c'mon, how can I not be when I see such adorable geek gear like the hand-painted Bluetooth earpieces and the Super Mario Galaxy keychain and bracelet! Here's another one to add to the geekilicious handmade collection list - Gameboy Plushies! Although these fuzzy creations are hand stitched with felt, I'm not really getting the $45 price tag. But they do measure just under a foot, which may make for one cozy little pillow.

Get Your Hands On A Vintage Gameboy iPod Case

GeekSugar — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 09:00:02 -0700

Remember our Geek of the Week Ryan Johns, who managed to fit his entire iPod into a vintage Gameboy case? Well, Etsey user cavco must have been inspired, or at least running on the same frequency when he created his Vintage Gameboy iPod case, which allows you all the joy of putting your iPod in a Gameboy without it having to be there permanently.

"It controls the iPod through the buttons on the front of the Gameboy while keeping the iPod safe inside," says cavco. "The front buttons are wired into a remote control so you can change the song and the volume with the case screwed closed."

The case only costs $30, which is to par with most regular iPod cases, but far more geek chic. Would you buy it?

Geek Puts Complete Computer In His Gameboy

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 May 2007 12:51:34 -0700

In a possible effort to out geek iBoy, aka the boy who fit his iPod into his Gameboy, a man has managed to put a complete computer into a trusty little handheld. According to Plastic Bamboo, it's a fully functioning Windows XP PC and it can either be connected to a monitor via a normal VGA port or you can browse the Internet on its tiny screen using the built-in network connection. The maker also added two USB ports and replaced the A and B buttons with LEDs showing power and activity.

Gameboy Shoes: Geekish or Freakish?

GeekSugar — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:00:17 -0700

I love Gameboy. I love shoes. But I'm not so sure I like them together. Funny thing about this footwear from syberpunk is that the retro Gameboys are still playable!

So, if you're bored waiting for the bus (which, I only assume you would be riding, vs. walking anywhere in these), the Gameboy shoe is perfect since you just swing your foot over your knee, pop out your Gameboy, and have some old-school fun! Although there are no prices listed, I happen to think that you can't put a price tag on such a geeky work of art. Now, finding the right outfit to accent the shoe is another problem all together.
