GeekSugar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 13:15:00 PST

I've spotted several especially blinged-out iPhone cases in the past and just found an equally sparkly case for the BlackBerry Curve. The pink rhinestone-encrusted case ($14) is a shiny, two-piece, snap-on hard case covered in rhinestones. I've said before that a fully rhinestone-covered case is a little much for my taste, but I do l love checking out some of these crazy artistic and blinged-out designs.

Have you seen any outrageous cell phone bling lately? Do you have a totally tricked-out phone? We'd love to see pics of your rhinestones, charms, and other accouterments!

iSkin Cases Spice Up Your Cell While Protecting It

GeekSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 09:05:14 PDT

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 PDT

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 PDT

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 PDT

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 PDT

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!
