Old-Fashioned Cases For High-Tech Gadgets

GeekSugar — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:05:03 -0800

I spotted (and loved) Thomas Paul's typewriter laptop case over the Summer, but just recently found even more retro-inspired cases. The Simpler Times Old-Fashioned Cases ($25 each) are made for a cell phone, digital camera, and MP3 player and feature super-retro versions of the modern-day gadgets they're meant to hold.

Given my love for vintage geekery, I'm definitely a fan of these cute cases. I can't decide which one I want first!

Handcrafted Camera Cases For Point and Shoot Cams

GeekSugar — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:08:00 -0700

After finding these six camera cases, which would be ideal for any point-and-shoot camera owner, I thought that's it, I'm never going to need to look for another case again!

Umm, well that was until I was perusing on the Neiman Marcus website and stumbled upon these colorful leather camera cases. Currently on sale for $80 from $100 (I know that's a lot but keep reading), their interior is fully lined and even comes with pockets for your cords, SD cards, batteries and more - I'm sure you could squeeze some cash and a small cell phone in there too.

Not bright enough for Summer? There's always the patent leather camera cases, which are currently on sale for $60.

Sumptuous Leather Leica Cases

I've already expressed to you how much I really like camera cases which conform to the camera's lens, so when I came across these leather cases - made specifically for Leica cameras - I was wishing I had a Leica (and not just because Scarlett Johansson rocked one in Vicky Christina Barcelona - OK, maybe!). Shipped straight to you from a guy named Luigi in Italy, these cases are definitely the real deal. There are 12 different colors to choose from and each case only costs around $45. . . but keep in mind shipping as well!

Hard Graft Debuts New Felty, Sexy HIGH Collection

GeekSugar — Sat, 16 May 2009 10:09:20 -0700

The last bag I saw by Hard Graft made me want to sell all my furniture to be able to afford it.

Now they're back with a new fleece line called the HIGH Collection, and it has me feeling what its name suggests.

The gorgeous set is comprised of cases for laptops, cameras, iPhones, iPods, even a Kindle case (and I know my way around chic Kindle cases).

The felt and leather accents run from about $60 for the cheapest case (for the iPod/iPhone) to $120 for the laptop sleeve.

Practical and Stylish Camera Cases

GeekSugar — Thu, 14 May 2009 04:02:54 -0700

My Canon camera has been playing tricks on me lately, and I'm starting to realize why - the poor thing is being banged up and thrown around in my bottomless bag! I will admit, it's kept in an old makeup bag, but that little zip up number doesn't provide any protection whatsoever. I finally decided it's time to find a camera case that's actually designed for a camera - lightbulb moment everybody! And in doing so, I came across some cases that not only offer 100 percent protection, but chicness too!

Hey, Big Spender: Please Consider the Givenchy Camera Case

GeekSugar — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:33:06 -0700

Forget for a moment how completely impractical it is to pay $3,620 for a camera case. Just check out the camera case Givenchy made. Clear crystals, black leather: yes, you'd feel like a fashionista badass pulling your camera out of that.

Back down to earth, though, I just gotta say, wowee. Three grand for something you paid under three hundred for?

I'm not here to judge if you're going to snap this up, but let me just say, if you're going to buy this, please also consider adopting me.

Despite Name, New Fatboy Gadget Cases Actually Quite Sleek

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:05:06 -0700

Fatboy, usually the purveyor of chic beanbag chairs, is bringing their casual modernity to gadget sleeves.

The Fatboy Undercover line includes soft, suede cases for laptops, cameras, and MP3 players constructed simply. I can imagine that that fabric makes for a nice, easy slide into another bag.

Though they can hold any brand, the sleeves say they're perfectly sized for the MacBook Air or 15- or 17-inch MacBook Pro, depending on the style.

They're a little on the pricey side, with the cheapest thing (the iPod holder) at $19, and the most expensive (the largest laptop sleeve) at $99. Still, I'm a fan of the bright, happy colors and ultraplain profiles.

Anya Hindmarch Embosses the Name of the Gadget on the Bag

GeekSugar — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 09:00:44 -0800

British designer Anya Hindmarch is known for her fabulous handbags, but did you know what a stickler she is for organization?

It's evident she cares about your orderliness as well, because she has made these pretty little leather cases for accessories. Make no mistake, the pouches embossed with "CAMERA" (about $110) and "MY TUNES" (on sale for $73) are for your camera, and MP3 player, respectively.

They cost a pretty penny, but if your New Year's resolution was to get organized, then maybe they're an investment worth making.

Pottery Barn Camera Cases: Cruelty-Free But Cute-Plus!

GeekSugar — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:00:19 -0700

It used to be that faux leather or animal skin was second best and you avoided it, but in these more responsible times, faux things are preferable. Hence why I'm loving these faux crocodile and snake Digital Camera Cases from Pottery Barn.

No cuddly reptiles had to die so your camera won't get damaged. Instead, fake skins in bright colors make the camera case pop inside your bag so it'll never get lost. At $24 each, you can start stockpiling them for Christmas gifts (yes, I said it, and yes, it's almost that time)!

Diana Gets a Case in Leatha

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 02:03:42 -0700

I know the Diana Dreamer Camera had a lot of fans when I posted it, both for its romantic results and its vintage styling, and now Urban Outfitters has introduced a custom-fit case for it, the Diana Case ($38). It's totally hot (built-in tripod hole!) and totally leather.

I've been looking for cases that conform to camera lenses since I saw Sienna Miller rocking one a few months ago, and the Diana Leather Case is my hippie-chic answer!
