Cell Phone Hand Stand: Totally Geek or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 07:00:29 PDT

It seems like inanimate hands are everywhere! Like me, most of you were creeped out by this iPhone hand charger, but what do you think about this cell phone texting hand stand? Like most of us, this baby would rather text than talk, and is ready to show it!

For $15, you can declare your love for data over voice with these texting hands that cradle your cell phone when it's not in your own mitts. Made of soft resin and heavy enough to serve as a paperweight, this stand also tilts your cell phone just right, so you can check on incoming texts but still be real-hands-free. Would you add this to your geek-chic desk, or is it totally geeky?

As for me, I'm keeping these digits well away. No matter if it's totally geeky or geek chic, it's still all creepy to me!

Obama Hides His BlackBerry in a Cell Phone Holster

GeekSugar — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 02:00:45 PST

Well wouldn't you know. President-elect Barack Obama was snapped this past weekend in Hawaii sporting not only his beloved BlackBerry 8830 World Edition Smartphone, but more shockingly, it was in a belt holster!

Considering a majority of you don't wear a cell on your belt - and let's be honest, we can't all be as stylin' as David Beckham - I'm surprised the trend-setting Obama is a holster kinda guy. But then again, he was our favorite BlackBerry obsessed cell phone celeb of 2008, and it's still up in the air whether he'll be able to keep it, so for now, we can't blame the guy for keeping the gadget goods glued to his side.

Do You Wear Your Cell on Your Belt?

GeekSugar — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:00:40 PDT

I found myself gawking at Kate Hudson's cute hair on the set of Bride Wars and almost missed that she's wearing her BlackBerry tucked into her shorts.

We've established that most of you like David Beckham's belt clip style, but don't love it on female celebrities like Courteney Cox. The thing is, people usually clip out of necessity or habit - it appears Kate is filming a workout scene so it would be silly for her to tote a purse just for her cell. Do you wear your cell on your waistband or belt?

Colorful Crocs Made For Cell Phones

GeekSugar — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 11:25:23 PST

I wish there was an ounce of me that thought Croc shoes were cool. I never quite succumbed to the Croc shoes mania that ensued a few years ago, but I did get a pair, just to fit in with those (my entire family) that had them. The people that do look adorable wearing Crocs are little kids, who would also look super-cute sporting one of these Croc cell-phone cases. SlashGear notes that these cases are set to be released in Europe on May 1. Colors will include black, silver, red, grape, fuchsia, celery, cotton candy, and turquoise and will cost around $15 each.

Best of Plushie Cell Phone Holders

GeekSugar — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 07:00:15 PST

Accessory makers are churning out plushies - small stuffed animals or characters - so fast that even the most serious fanatic can't keep up. While I don't see any purpose in collecting regular plushies, I have fallen for the cell phone holders, which make fun desktop accessories.

I'm currently in love with the Plushie cell phone holder by Bale Living. It comes in pink, blue, green and orange and costs 4.95.

Most plushies are inexpensive so when it comes to purchasing one you should pick bright colors that will add a youthful flare to your desktop and cheer you up. If you get sick of it you can always get a new one, or pass it on to a kid. Check out the widget of my favorite plushies below.

Love It Or Leave It: David Beckham With Cell Phone Clip

GeekSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 13:00:48 PDT

It was almost excusable when we caught Courteney Cox and Joel Madden rocking chunky cell phone holders, but when Molly caught the always fashionable David Beckham hanging with his boys and wearing his BlackBerry on his belt it was just, well, heinous.

I understand he probably doesn't want to cover up the beautiful assets he recently displayed in W Magazine, but even a man purse would look better than this belt clip.

Becks baby, you can't rock Victoria's shiny new Bentley and a $9 cell phone holder at the same time. I may not be as chic as FabSugar, but this much I know. What do you think? Do you love Becks' cell phone clip and all or should he lose it?

Why Do Celebrities Love Ugly Cell Phone Clips?

GeekSugar — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 10:00:34 PDT

Last week PopSugar reported that Courteney Cox hit up Il Sole with her daughter, little Coco. I couldn't help but notice the usually chic Cox was sporting an awkward, "this was inspired by a 47-year-old business man" cell phone clip on her belt.

Sadly, Courteney isn't the only celebrity to commit this major geek faux paux. Nicole Richie's fella Joel Madden was also spotted wearing his BlackBerry on his hip recently, leading me to believe that somewhere there are a pack of stylists or personal assistants encouraging the use. Yes, I know, they are important, busy people, but your phone shouldn't be worn as an accessory in any circumstance.

As always, my advice is to get a more chic and discreet cell phone holder, which will allow you to keep your phone within reach, but not attached to your body.

Wondering what these freaky deaky creatures are? Amigo has created these unique Leather Desk Accessories (which range in price from $27 to $38) to spice up any work space. Check out the red kangaroo which is a perfect place for your cell and the green caterpillar, an ideal paper, pencil and staple holder.

Rivet Cell Phone Holders

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 10:00:51 PST

Forget weird belt clips or tacky cell phone covers, Rivet Cell Phone Holders are a unique wrap that will keep your phone easily accessible and fashionable. I personally hate digging around in my purse for my phone or keeping it in my pocket for quick access, so this is a great option. It seems as though your phone will be kept safe and secure as each holder is lined with special grip material so there won't be any slippage!

Each are priced at $35 and come in styles like beige leather, black crocodile, black with bow and gold rhinestone. Check them out below.

Cell Phone Holders for Runners

FitSugar — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 02:15:00 PST

There are holders for your iPod when you're running, but it's also a good idea to have your cell phone with you too. But where's a girl to put it? Nope, sorry, in the cleavage is NOT a good answer.

Check out this cell phone holder. It's ironically called Hold-a-Phone. You can wear it on your arm, ankle, or wrist, and the band is adjustable so you can really secure it in place.

If you're planning to wear it around a jacket, you can get the 9 inch extension piece.

To use, just slide your open cell phone into the plastic pocket that has a clear plastic face (so you can still see and press the numbers). There's a piece that stretches over the antenna to keep your phone from sliding out. Then you just close your flip phone and secure the safety strap across the front.

For only $19.95 it is definitely worth the price. Keeping your cell phone on you while running, skiing, snowshoeing, or whatever, is not only a smart idea - it's a necessity.

Want to see the holders for other types of phones and PDAs such as Razrs, Blackberrys, Blackberry Pearls, and Treos? Then
