TV Pillowcase For Boob Tube Addicts

GeekSugar — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 07:00:53 -0800

After hearing Oprah say that she refuses to have a television in the bedroom, I guiltily placed my flatscreen at the end of my bed during my last apartment move. I know, bad feng shui, energy, whatever you want to call it, but how great is it when a good Netflix movie arrives and you get to crawl into your cozy bed and watch it - chip crumbs and all?! This product may be my next best option - or a good Oprah option - the Eight Hours of Fame Pillowcase. Made from Egyptian cotton, this TV-imprinted case gives you your TV fix, while you sleep. No word on pricing.

Check Your Head Pillow Cases: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Hooray for more retro-themed goodies! I'm digging the Check Your Head Pillow Cases ($25), featuring a cute screen print of a vintage turntable on one side and a set of headphones on the other.

They're similar to the mixed tape pillowcase I found earlier this year, so now I'm excited to have another geeky set in rotation. Plus, as I mentioned before, it's easy to hide your geeky side and appear a grown-up (if you must) just by making the bed. What do you think?

Say you're not as depraved as I am - using pillowcases as laptop sleeves and whatnot. Say you like to use dedicated bags to keep your gadgets organized and orderly (more power to ya!) - then check out Kangaroom's totally practical (and as a bonus, adorable) Velvet Media Bags.

It's just $20 for a set of four, and each cute drawstring bag has the gadget it's intended for embroidered on the front - there's an MP3 player, a cell phone, a camera, and a larger one for cords (great for travel since my box technique won't work on the road).

Geek Tip: Use a Soft Sunglasses Case as an iPhone/iPod Case

I'm all for emergency measures to keep your gadgets protected, like using a pillowcase as a sub for a laptop sleeve.

This tip for smaller gadgets came to me while I was rummaging through my junk drawer - you can use a soft sunglasses case, the kind that's made out of that thick, soft spongy material (not unlike a mouse pad) and slide your iPhone, iPod, (or if it's slim enough, camera) inside. And it's much better than a sock!

It's thick enough to protect your gadget from bumps and dents, and if you're like me, you've somehow accumulated these through the years (often, you get them for free).

Also, if you find the case is too long, just cut it down to reach your gadget and its ports more easily. Just like MacGyver.
