From the Felted iPhone Case to the Leopard Print Case, you know I'm all about the exotic iPhone cases that are sure to turn a few heads.

Proporta has just showed off this glamorous number, the gold sleeve-style Maya Case, which I can't help but take a liking to; yes, I'm always going on and on about how great slip-on cases are!

Made from handmade leather and priced at $23, it's definitely a chic and affordable way to protect your phone.

Mobile Survival Kit - Don't Leave Home Without It

If all goes well, I should be going on a weekend sailing adventure with a few of my friends in June, which is an amazing, sun-soaked experience the group looks forward to all year. It's heaven save for one thing - there are no electrical outlets so we are limited to charging our cell phones, computers and gizmos when we're docked at night. This year I'm coming prepared. I was planning on relying on the TuneJuice2, an iPod charger that runs off AA batteries and can provide up to 14 hours of additional audio play, but I found the Proporta Mobile Survival Kit, which will charge all my gadgets.

The kit is essentially a little USB rechargeable battery that plugs into any USB powered mobile device (phone, PDA, GPS, iPod, digital camera, etc.) and gives it that recharge juice it needs to keep working. In fact, the makers claim a fully charged Proporta Mobile Device Charger should be able to charge most mobile devices between three and five times from completely empty.

Apparently, "hard to charge devices," like the iPod 5G will recharge and play for up to three times longer when connected to the charger. A plus is the fact that the kit comes with adapters for Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones, and can be connected to UK, European, Australian and US region adapters (not included). This means so long as the charger has power (it is charged via USB on your computer), so will all the rest of your gadgets. The kit costs 44.95 and it's worth every penny.

The Shuffle Color Remix Sleeve

After the release of the new Apple shuffle, which comes in hip new colors like periwinkle, turquoise, jade, product red and silver, most of us with 2nd Gen iPod shuffles wanted to trade in our old models for a freshly painted 3rd Gen color. After providing a solution for those with the 1st Gens, I decided to keep my eyes peeled for those of us with plain white 2nd Gen shuffles. Well I've found some pretty sleek color remix sleeves from Proporta which should do the trick. With a variety of colors to choose from, you can personalize and protect your shuffle in style-without having to fork out the cash for a new one! Priced around $9 each.
