Love It or Leave It? iPod Nano Clutch

GeekSugar — Tue, 15 May 2007 07:00:14 -0700

How do you feel about having your money, credit cards and iPod nano in an all-in-one clutch? The pacific design uptown clutch by Kolobags is one of those functional wallets that will hold pretty much everything...and it still manages to be sleek and fashionable. A fold over pocket allows you to control your iPod without opening the clutch and a mesh earbud/wire storage pouch keeps your earbuds in place. Colors include sky blue with orange interior, pink with white interior, or cherry red with yellow interior. Priced at $30. What are your thoughts? Too multi-functional for your liking?

If you're still searching for some great Valentine's Day gifts for your geeky girlfriends, I suggest paying a visit to Incase-The sleeves, cases and folio experts. Thanks to

For $30 you can pick up a pink iPod Touch case or a pink iPhone case. And for $25 you can protect a new Nano in a pink iPod case. There's always the MacBook Neoprene Case, which is priced at $35. All of the above products are available in a variety of other colors, so the men in your life can get in on the fun as well!

The Name Says It All: Bluelounge's Refresh Charging Station

GeekSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 14:41:00 -0700

In case you haven't noticed, I have a thing for charging stations. I just can't get enough of 'em. Call it my OCD for cable management, or the fact that between my boyfriend and I combined, we have more gadgets than a small country, but I love a nice and neat desk where my gadgets can refresh and recharge. This is why I love Bluelounge's Refresh charging station. Coming in three colors (black, white and pink), the Refresh boasts mini and micro USB cables, and has room for five of your most coveted gadgets: iPod, BlackBerry, iPhone, camera, or whatever you need juiced up.

Although I have much love for this simple and stylish charging station, I do have a gripe: the $90 price tag. Whoa? Whoa is right. Sure, this baby keeps all your cords out of sight and managed, but how much are you willing to pay for a sleek pink plastic box? Ponder that, my friends.

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

GeekSugar — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 13:50:17 -0700

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.

Valentine's Day Deal: All Incipio Pink Phone Cases 30% Off

GeekSugar — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 10:00:29 -0800

I've never really been a "pink" girl, but there's something about the impending holiday that softens me toward the hue. I guess it's just more romantic than obnoxious - so what better time to get a pink cell phone case than for Valentine's Day?

Sweetening the pot is Incipio, who's offering 30 percent off all of their pink cases - for iPhones, BlackBerrys, iPods, etc., - from now until Feb. 15. Just add the pink case to your cart to see the discount.

I've bought an Incipio case before and seen most of their colors in person, so I can attest to the shades looking great in real life. Yes, even the bubblegum pink.

App of the Day: Blow a Kiss

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 09:02:32 -0800

Granted, Valentine's Day is still 18 days away, but if you like gearing up for holidays nice and early, here are two fun ways to spread the love on Feb. 14.

The first one is a Blow a Kiss app, which Walmart and Hershey's created. To use, just blow a kiss in your iPhone to send a message via email. And if your friend, family member, or lover doesn't have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, why not send them a pink V-Day eCard with a mosaic of yummy M&M patterns?

Don't ask me why Walmart is getting all techie and lovey-dovey all of a sudden (yes, it is a bit of genius marketing on their part), but whatever the case, these two V-Day creations are pretty cute.

How-To: Make Your Own Mario Star Nano Case

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 15:00:36 -0700

I've featured some cool DIY projects, as well as some interesting iPod cases on the site before, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like this mashup! I caught this How-To on Crafty Crafty yesterday morning, and thought that if you were as much as a Mario fan as I am, that you'd flip over this adorable Mario Super Star Nano case, too. Although I've yet to try my hand at the project, I've certainly got it on my to-do list for the next time I'm stuck indoors, and will be keeping an eye out for some bright yellow felted fabric on my next trip to the fabric store!

Thankfully, the crafty maker posted a super in depth how-to on Cut Out + Keep so we can all get our sew on and keep our precious iPod Nanos nice and warm!

New Belkin iPod Cases: Yes, People Still Have iPods

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:00:29 -0700

Whoever said the release of the iPhone would make people forget about the iPod was wrong! Belkin is about to release a new line of cases for the iPod, iPod nano, and iPod shuffle that hope to "dress up your iPod while protecting it from everyday scratches and scuffs."

The line is colorful and obviously aimed at female consumers. The iPod nano "Charm” and “Style” cases (pictured in pink and light blue) will cost $24.99 and feature heart or line-art pattern laser-cut into high-end leather as well as a wristlet for easy carrying and an interior mirror that doubles as a picture frame. The cases will be available this August.
