Whoa, Talk About Cell Phone Bling!

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:42:50 -0800

I'm all for a little glitz and glam, but I think that this Rhinestones For My iPhone case ($20) might take the cake for most blinged-out iPhone case I've seen. Honestly, it's a little too adorned for my taste, but there's at least one upside: finding your phone in a jam-packed purse just got a little easier.

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 accoutrements! Create a PopSugar account or log in to your account. Then join the Cell Phone Bling group and share your photos with the community. Your bling could end up on the GeekSugar homepage. Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.

Moment of Geek: Crystallized iPhone

GeekSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 11:00:59 -0700

Thanks to TeamSugar user sunny_and72 (aka Kellie DeFries) for sending us this fabulous and blingin' iPhone. As chief designer for Bling My Thing, Kellie created this design for the iPhone called "Rainbow Boogie," which does in fact come in a rainbow of colors! I wonder how long it takes to create such a sparkley masterpiece? Want to see more gadgets plastered in crystals including a Bruce Willis cell phone? Check out a post about Bling My Thing here. If you would like to share some of your bedazzled geek gear, send your photos to geeksugar's cell phone bling group!

Jewelry Trinkets For Your Cell Phone

GeekSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 09:00:41 -0700

Considering these rhinestone encrusted cell phone charms were found on the Japanese StrapYa site, which I can't translate for the life of me, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that they are affordable accessories for blinging out your phone in style. The plush fonies weren't sophisticated enough for my liking, so these are a step in the right direction. Scroll down to check out a bunch of other unique designs. via 7Gadgets

MicroSD Card Cell Phone/Camera Strap

GeekSugar — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 10:00:03 -0700

I can't say I regularly tote around miniSD cards, but if this fun holder could carry a USB stick, I'd be all for it. These card eating straps which I saw on OhGizmo! can be attached to cell phones and cameras so you know exactly where your memory card is at all times. Maybe not as bling as the Louis Vuitton charm but much more practical and user-friendly than the cell phone cuffs! Priced at $10.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Pepsi Cell Phone Bling

GeekSugar — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 08:00:00 -0700

There are some cell phone charms that can be perceived as semi-useful flair. Take for instance the Hello Kitty privacy sticker, which protects your screen from nosy co-workers and friends, or the Nevermissacall charm that lights up when your phone rings inside your purse. Of course, there are others, like the cell phone cuff, which serves little purpose other than decoration and their ability to catalyst conversations. No one can argue this Pepsi cell phone charm is practical or offers a specific function (no, you can't drink it!), so I'm not sure why anyone would attach it to his or her phone. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm a Diet Coke kinda gal, but I don't get it. Is it chic in any way, or does it just say, "I'm a programmer and sit in a dark room with Cheetos and Pepsi all day?"

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Leather Cell Necklace/Strap

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:00:57 -0700

I know I have made fun of David Beckham, Courteney Cox and Joel Madden for using dorky belt clips to hold their BlackBerries, but there are some acceptable ways to carry your cell phone on your person without looking like the geeky copy guy. While I'd prefer them to be slimmer, I can't find anything terribly offensive about these leather cell necklaces from Strapya World. They come in a variety of colors and would free up your hands and pockets of your cell, while keeping it near. Of course, once you get that call you expected you can always slip it into your purse.

Kitschy Missy Broome Cell Phone And iPod Charms

GeekSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 05:00:48 -0700

The Miss Broome cell phone and iPod charms bring kitschy fun back to protecting your gadgets sans Hello Kitty, glitter or feathers. The line, which touts a marine and rock-inspired theme and is adorned by buttons and youthful embroidery, is made up of characters like "Two Sloops," "Captain Shivers," "Howdi-Culture," "Howd-Oui," and "Road Howdy," and seem to have a youthful Betsey Johnson influence. They each cost $30 and are 5-inches high and 3 inches wide. They have a zipper and key ring so they can attach to your key chain or purse.

Absent Minded? Decorate Your Cell With A Cuff

GeekSugar — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 07:00:09 -0700

If you've lost your cell phone before you're not alone. In fact, an estimated 600,000 cell phones will be reported lost or stolen this year. If that phone ends up in someone else's hands, you open yourself up to identity theft, a massive bill and if you happen to be Lindsay Lohan, some serious gossip.

The Strap Ya won't exactly restrict you from losing your cell because it's too small to actually cuff on to you, but it might serve as a reminder. Or a warning to your fellow cell phone bling fans that you're, well, kinda gansta. As with the best gadgets, this one isn't available in the US, unless you can translate the website.
