WaSaBi Designer Console Skins: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:05:48 -0700

I caught these designer console skins from WaSaBi while cruising the merch area at this year's Tokyo Game Show, and spent about ten minutes trying to decide on whether or not to splurge. I'm kind of loving the cherry blossom theme on the right, but I can't tell if it would take away from the natural and minimalist feel of the Wii, and/or clash with the rest of my decor. The other designs are pretty sweet too but still, I've never been one to mod my consoles, even if it's with a $20 skin. Help me decide - what do you think?

Wii Decals: Love or Leave?

It's one thing to bling out a small device like a Nintendo DS, but an entire console? Not for the faint of heart. If that Wii sitting on your TV stand is just "too white" then these Floral Wii Decals ($19) may be what you need to get rid of the blinding white exterior.

Of course, should you tire of flowers, you can always take the decal off. Which, if you live with your boyfriend, may be required.

Since everything and anything is getting "skinned" these days and because most of you loved the blue and pink Xbox 360 controllers, I thought I'd share these with you.

Geek geared by TeamSugar user PrincessTracy, these Intec Wii Remote Skins are gel protectors for your Wiimote. Each cover is said to prevent remote controller damage caused by everyday use. And not only that, but you'll be making your Wiimote stand out from the rest. The colored skins cost $12 each and include a wrist strap.

Say goodbye to boring manufacturer colors as gadgets everywhere are getting a huge makeover. With funky covers, sleeves, cases and skins, there are no excuses for having a plain Jane gadget.

Case in point - these Wii Skins by DecalGirl add some serious style to an otherwise basic white Wii. There are way too many great designs for me to count and for $15 there are no excuses for not primping your Wii.

Wii Fit Balance Board Silicone Sleeves: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 15:45:00 -0700

Apparently what a geek wants is to coat all her gadgets in gels. They're ubiquitous among BlackBerrys and iPhones, and I've seen them for Mighty Mice (mouses?), and now: Silicone Sleeves for the Wii Fit Balance Board ($20).

I have a love/hate relationship with gel cases; while they're great at protecting your gear (especially in the case of a fall), the light ones tend to get discolored and murky looking, and they are lint-magnets (ever leave your gel-covered BlackBerry in your handbag with a floating tissue? Oy vey). I also haven't noticed that my balance board needs protecting, but the silicone might make a more comfortable surface underfoot. What do you think?

Floral PS3 Decals Make Your Console Feel Pretty

I've already exposed you to the beauty of decorative decals for your Wiis and laptops, so what about that shiny and new PS3 you have sitting in the corner? Kudos if you already have some fancy furniture to stow your consoles in, but what if that glistening black PS3 doesn't exactly go with the relaxing Zen living room look you were going for?

Etsy seller NoveltyGallery is selling these stylish PS3 floral skins, which only cost $19 each and are quite chic if you ask me (not to mention, this Twitter-inspired one!).

And for those of you who are wishing you were PS3 owners right now, don't fret, this seller also offers them for the Xbox 360, the PSP, the DS Lite, the Wii, and for laptops.

With Black Friday behind us it's officially holiday shopping season. Might be time for you to check out my gift guides for the dads, moms, and teen boys and girls in your life. Hint: They'll all flip if you get them an iPhone or Super Mario Galaxy for Wii.
Popular pizza chain Papa John's has launched a text message ordering option at 2,700 US restaurants. I'm still too stuffed from turkey to even think about pizza, but would you text your pizza order?
The holidays are arguably the most common electronics upgrade season of the year, which means plenty of people will be getting new shiny gadgets and recycling their old ones. I offered an easy guide with tips on how to properly recycle your gadgets.
If you plan on rocking around the Christmas tree this holiday season, I created a list of techie Xmas tips to ensure you have a bright, safe, and energy- and money-conserving Christmas! Besides, isn't today the day to start decorating?

Comedian and new host of The Price is Right Drew Carey graced the cover of last Sunday’s special technology issue of PARADE, where he revealed he loves his iPhone and compared getting a new phone to getting connected physically. I'm still kinda confused about this.
I fell for the ezSkin iPhone protector from ezGear because it reminded me of the orange gel case Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel use on their BlackBerrys. Now that I've ventured into the world of gel cases with the ezSkin I fully understand why the two stars have put their jealousy of having both dated Justin Timberlake aside and don't mind using the same cell case.
