iSkin Cases Spice Up Your Cell While Protecting It

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:05:14 -0700

Just like a majority of celebs, I love using gel cases to keep my BlackBerry nice and protected. Although I do have one complaint - they have a tendency to rip and tear after prolonged use. Thankfully a company called iSkin has come out with BlackBerry Curve cases and iPhone Cases that are slim and flexible, yet offer the shock absorption of a hard case. Available in a variety of colors for $33 each, these cases will keep your phone looking chic (notice the argyle pattern on the BlackBerry case), and you won't have to worry about scratches or damaging your phone. They also offer other products including skins for your iPod and laptop. Me likey a lot.

She's Done It Again: Violet May's Limited Edition Gadget Purse

GeekSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:50:06 -0700

You're killin' me Violet May! Not only was I obsessed with your hot silver snakeskin computer clutch, and your gold python BlackBerry purse, but you have to go and chum the accessory waters again with these new and limited edition BlackBerry and iPhone purses.

Just when I thought I could safely browse the Internet without pitting all other gadget purses against yours, you work your way back into my battered heart with your chic bags. The Violet May Limited Edition purse for BlackBerry breaks out of the previous mold by wrapping my BB in a silver stingray patterned body, with the signature python print trim. Although the limited edition is helping to ease my obsession with the shiny silver snakeskin, the prices are still way over my gadget accessory budget at $330 dollars. Why, oh why, can't I quit you, Violet May?

Reese Witherspoon Updates Her BlackBerry and Phone Case

GeekSugar — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:46:04 -0700

Whether it be Winter or Summer, Reese Witherspoon manages to keep her gadgets bubbly and bright all year long! Just six months ago, the blond beauty was spotted with a BlackBerry Curve smartphone adorned in a lime green gel case. Not long after, she upgraded her Curve with the Bold, which was rockin' a hot pink BB case.

And just recently, while out during a shopping excursion, Reese looked pretty adorable trying to free up her hands with her BlackBerry's earpiece - guess that means we can add her to the hands free cell phone list?!

Wrap Your Beloved BlackBerry in Fabulosity With This Case

GeekSugar — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:02:09 -0700

BlackBerry-obsessed individuals, pay attention. Plia Designs has created some fashionable PDA Universal Cases that are perfect for those times when you don't want to carry a big purse. There are many chic designs to choose from and each case offers a hardshell exterior with a purple velvet interior. They are even big enough to put some cash, your iPod or business cards inside of as well. Now for the unfortunate part, they cost $72. But if you think of it as a mini cute purse and a way to protect your $150-$300 BlackBerry, it could be justifiable.

BlackBerry Combo Pack Includes a Charging Dock and Cases

GeekSugar — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:03:40 -0700

Little did I know, but the charging USB port on BlackBerrys has been known to malfunction because the gold pins pop out of the USB track. Unfortunately, PetSugar had this happen to her and resorted to two batteries which she charged at work, so she could have a juiced up Pearl during evenings and weekends. PetSugar didn't want to shell out for a new handset or pay hefty fees to have it repaired, so we put our heads together to come up with a solution. Yes, BlackBerry makes its very own charging dock called the Charging Pod.

With the BlackBerry Pearl Charging Pod ($9 - see below for images) and the Charging Pod for various Curve handhelds ($8), you can juice up your BlackBerry by connecting the charging cord to the dock and conveniently see the screen of your BlackBerry as it stands up in the Pod.

And for only $12.69, BlackBerry has this sweet deal where you get three silicone cases in the colors shown and a charging dock for only $12.69. Even though my charger works just fine, I kind of like the idea of sitting my BlackBerry in a dock at the end of the day!

Vaja's BlackBerry Bold Cases Are Too Sexy For Their Shirts

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:06:24 -0800

So sexy, yeah it hurts. Vaja, the maker of supple leather goods fabulously fit for chic geeks, has some new cases for the BlackBerry Bold.

This model, which cradles the Bold and flips open to reveal the front side, is particularly mouthwatering.

However, the price starts at $75 (lord knows where it stops) and that handcrafting process takes 45 days!

Yeah, it does hurt.

Plia Designs' Cell Phone Cases: Kinda Cute, Kinda Universal

GeekSugar — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 10:13:49 -0700

Plia Designs is banking on the fact you really want to protect your cell phone when it's in your bag, or another place it might get jostled; their Luxe iPhone/BlackBerry Cases are like little books, with elastic bands to hold your phone inside. It's not the greatest thing for accessibility, but I like the idea that you can use this case for most phones and smartphones (negating having to buy a new case because you went from say, a first-gen iPhone to an iPhone 3G).

There are a few pretty patterns, though I'm partial to the metallics, but they're kinda pricey for phone cases at $72. Still, traveling with that baby would give you a great sense of security (which sometimes makes it worth it).

Speck Shows the iPhone 3G Some Lovin'

GeekSugar — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 02:01:12 -0700

I just got my hands on Specks new lineup of cell phone cases and they're not only affordable and will keep your phone scratch free, but they are totally trendy too! Below you'll notice the BlackBerry Pearl Hard Shell Case ($25) that comes with a removable swivel holster and belt clip and protects your phone while maintaining its sleek design. Then there's the Hard Shell Case and Stand ($30) that comes in two pieces that snap together to protect your iPhone 3G and includes rubberized no-slip finger rails on the sides.

And last but not least (and one of my faves), the Pixel Skin ($25) for the iPhone 3G that allows you to access all your controls and ports, and it comes in seven hot colors!

Appetite Cell Phone Case Is Protection Perfection

GeekSugar — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:30:09 -0700

This past weekend PetSugar took a little trip to Portland, OR, and while out doing some shopping at a local craft exhibit, she found the perfect case for her BlackBerry Pearl! PetSugar picked up one of these $14 leather cases with a hand-painted yellow flower accent to protect her cell phone. The company that creates these cases is called Appetite and thankfully has an Esty store, so we can check out its other cute designs.

Appetite also makes an assortment of vegan as well as nonvegan cases for everything from laptops and cell phones to itsy bitsy cases for iPod nanos. Here's hoping it updates the online store with some BlackBerry Curve cases so I can get my hands on one just in time for Fall!
