Ice Red Laptop Bags: For Business and Pleasure

GeekSugar — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 06:00:56 -0700

Shopping online is so convenient and so much fun, especially when there are websites like Shop It To Me that fully customize your online shopping adventures. But I do love checking out items in person, especially laptop bags, so I can decide whether or not the bag is exactly what I'm looking for. So when these two bags from Ice Red Designs arrived on my doorstep, I instantly outweighed the pros and cons of each. For an all around trendy day-to-night kinda bag, the black vinyl Shine Glossy Laptop Bag can hold laptops up to 17-inches and offers multiple compartments and pockets for your shades, cell, a book and other goodies. It also comes in pink and silver but in my opinion, the black is the most sexiest and sophisticated. It's priced at $70, which is predictable considering it's an all-in-one bag - no need to carry a separate purse with this one!

The red Sirocco Urban Laptop Tote Bag isn't at all what I expected. It's much bigger than it looks on the website, and it kinda reminds me of those padded cooler bags - therefore, not office appropriate. But, if you're in need of a weekend travel bag that's also beach and laptop friendly, this bag is a great option. And with a shock-absorber shoulder strap, it can carry lots of items, without putting a ton of strain on your shoulder. The Sirocco is priced at $70 as well.

Colorful DS Bundles Available on Black Friday

I know I don't need an excuse to buy a new Nintendo DS, but if you don't have one yet (side note: Why?), then Black Friday is the perfect time to dive in. Starting November 28, you can pick up a DS in one of two new colors: Mario Red and Ice Blue. This is great news since the majority of you like your gadgets with a little hue on them. But the best part isn't just the new shades. Just like we saw last year, these hot new handhelds are being bundled with two of my favorite games to get you started - Super Mario Bros, and Brain Age.

The bundles will set you back $150 bucks, but the price is totally right for a limited edition color. I'm getting up early to snatch one up as a Christmas gift, although I'm not sure yet who will be the lucky recipient. But really, who wouldn't love a new DS? And if they don't, then it's more DS action for me. Merry Christmas, indeed.

Shimmery Solo FX SE Cases: Just in Time For the Holidays

When the weather starts getting cooler, and you start paying attention to gift guide suggestions, then you know the holidays are quickly approaching! It's about that time of the year for me, when I can't help but want to buy things that are festive and get me into the holiday spirit. These new Solo FX Special Edition Cases ($35) from iSkin might not be green and red, but they are glitzy and certainly fall into the category of "essential holiday accessories." With colors like Ice (clear frosted), Onyx (translucent black), Cosmo (translucent pink) you can add a hint of color and shimmer to your iPhone, thanks to each case's subtle embossed pattern. I've already raved about the quality of iSkin's cases, so you can be sure that your phone will stay fully protected during hard impact falls with one of these beauties.
