Kristy Korcz — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 10:41:49 PDT

We talk a lot about wooden and bamboo gadget accessories, but I have to know - are you still into them? We are, and this Horchow Bamboo Earbuds and Case ($45 together) isn't just good looking, but it also comes with an easy-to-handle price tag, too. And since it's made from all-natural and sustainable materials, you won't have to worry so much about how much harm your gadget addiction is causing the planet, since this case is totally green.

Fitting all iPhone and iPod models, you can rock out to your favorite tunes while enjoying the fact that you helped to do your part (however small) for nature this Summer.

Attention gym rats: chugging it out on the treadmill every day may be good for your weekly mileage goals, but taking your workout outdoors will bust you out of plateaus and clear your mind of the Winter blues. If like me, you need some tunes to help you through a sweat session, grab your iPod and one of these cases to keep you going in the great outdoors.

Speck Gets in the iPod Nano Wrist Strap Game

iPod Nano wrist straps aren't anything new, but Speck is getting in the game with their own version that can also double as a handy cord organizer. Called TimetoRock, this watch band allows you to jam along with your tunes, check the time, and gives you easy access to your sleep/wake, volume controls, and headphone jack, and it comes with two adjustable arm bands (small and large) that keep your earbud cords close to your arm so you don't constantly catch them on obstacles. Door handles would be a big offender.

Speck's TimetoRock is available now in a variety of colors for $25.

Macworld 2010 Preview: UrbanTool

GeekSugar — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 06:00:04 PST

Although Macworld is still a few weeks away, I'm getting excited to see some of the new, stylish (and sometimes weird) products at the expo. One that piqued my interest was UrbanTool. Hailing from Austria, UrbanTool brings us a huge selection of iPod and iPhone savvy bags and cases that not only have some serious street style, but are functional as well. Each holster and belt comes stocked with an iPod control panel so you can switch up your tunes without whipping out your player. The belt cases and holsters have room for your cell phones and wallets, while the bags can hold more of your junk while keeping it safe with their cross-body designs. The best part? They're affordable with prices starting at around $40.

I'll get a chance to check out UrbanTool's new Jean design at Macworld, which is sure to bring some attention to your wardrobe. But my overall favorite so far? The Urban Performer Unit, a black leather electronic clutch that's studded with Swarovski crystals. Hot!

Incipio's iPod Shuffle Wafer Cases Are Good Enough to Eat

GeekSugar — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:50:17 PDT

It's rare for me to actually describe an iPod case as mouthwatering, but that's exactly what Incipio's Wafer dermaSHOT Case is ($15). Naturally, it's not edible, but it just looks like a delicious treat.

The case, which works only with the iPod Shuffle's latest generation, is available in chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla . . . oops, I mean brown, pink, or yellow. The silicone will protect your little iPod, and your diet, possibly; I just don't think it would taste very good.

Despite Name, New Fatboy Gadget Cases Actually Quite Sleek

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:05:06 PDT

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 PST

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.
