Your iPhone and iPod Touch Just Got a Little Classier
Although you only get two options when choosing an iPhone (even less if you're picking up an iPod Touch), you can always express your individuality with a case. I've got plenty of options for you, but if you're looking for something with a little more sizzle, a little more class if you will, check out these slim-fitting Blink Cases ($20-$25).
These sleek and shiny cases hug the curves of your iPhone or iPod Touch without adding bulk and weight to your pocket.

Keep Your Tech Covered With the Redmaloo Felt Sleeves
I talk a lot of game about keeping your cell phones and MP3 players safe and covered, but guess what — I don't always take my own advice. For example, my iPod is not covered most of the time, and I sometimes let my iPhone run naked in my bag. Bad news, I know.

Charge Your iPod Touch With the Sun Using This Case
I love my gadgets, but what happens when your cell phone or iPod needs to be juiced up and you're nowhere near a power supply and you managed to forget your iPod cord at home? Thanks to solar powered gizmos, you've always got a back up — well that is, if you have some sunlight to work with!

Boombox iPod/iPhone Skin: Love It or Leave It?
I can't help but gravitate toward vintage gadgets (I am the founding member of the Vintage Geek group, you know), so mash-ups of old and new stuff is something I'm totally into.
This particular skin from Gelaskin ($15) tugged at my heartstrings, mostly because it reminded me of my first boombox that I carried around with me to sleepovers, my backyard, and even a few times to school (my teachers were not pleased with that last location).
I'm kinda digging this skin for my iPhone, but I'm not sure I could handle it taking up permanent residence there.
