Boombox Bags: Now Available in Peach and Blue

GeekSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 09:05:47 PDT

The mini speaker wristlet bags are back! When I mentioned them way back when, most of you were digging their retro hip style. . . except they quickly sold out and only came in aqua. Well now the MoMA store is rocking them in peach and royal blue hues ($25). For newbies to the boombox bag, it holds all of the essentials - cell phone, lip gloss, keys - and you can even hook it up to your iPod for personal jam sessions. If you like these, be sure to have a peek at the Podblaster too.

MP3 Player Cooler Bag: Love It or Leave It?

Hola, Summer! We may be a couple months away, but I'm all about putting my arsenal together - you know, new bathing suit, sunglasses, and clearly, this bag.

The MP3 Player Cooler Bag ($79) from Pottery Barn is not the first iPod-playing tote anyone has seen - and certainly not the first from Pottery Barn (last Summer gave us this bag).

It's not even the first MP3 player bag that cools your drinks, though this one is way, way bigger (and thus better, as conventional wisdom tells us).

That said, is a beach bag worth 80 bucks, electronic advantages and all?

Pottery Barn's Media Friendly Beach Bag

With lots of pockets, two built-in speakers and a plug for your iPod, this speaker tote bag is a great accessory for trips to the beach. I'm not sure how amazing the speakers sound, but I'm sure it would be the same level of quality as a mini boombox - remember those?! It's even on sale for $49, saving you twenty bucks from the original price tag. And if you're looking for a speaker/cooler/AM FM radio combo bag, there's always this somewhat tacky bag.

Fi-Hi Boombox Bags Are Pure Bling

GeekSugar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:00:28 PDT

The latest line of speakers bags has just emerged on Born Rich and I have to say, they aren't all that bad (the black is tres chic, no?). These Fi-Hi Speaker Bags were spotted at CTIA in Vegas this past week and come equipped with the usual waterproof speakers and 3-watt stereo amplifier. Except this time, these bags have been designed with the fashionista in mind, unlike the star-covered AM/FM cooler bag. Hook em' up to your iPod or cell phone via the included minijack and with four AA batteries you'll be able to rock out for at least six hours straight. They are brand spanking new, so no word on pricing just yet . . . eat your heart out Gucci!

Felicidade Groove Bag Plus Triplet

GeekSugar — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 13:00:28 PDT

I apologize for exhausting you with yet another iPod speaker bag, but I promise that this design is more geek chic than totally geeky, even if it is faux leather.

Featured on 7 Gadgets, the Groove bag by Felicidade looks like a giant clutch handbag that you'd pair with pumps for a day of shopping.
What I like about it is the iPod Cradle and the fact that the two speakers blend in with its exterior, making it more conspicuous than other iPod bags. Although I'm still debating whether or not I'd actually use it! Priced at $100.

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Starry AM/FM Cooler Bag

GeekSugar — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 07:00:42 PDT

What American wouldn't want one of these star covered AM/FM speaker bags on the 4th of July? Maybe not iPod compatible and maybe not as fashionable as the Roxy or Burton speaker bags, but this bag can blast tunes from a battery operated AM/FM tuner while chilling your beer in an insulated area big enough to hold a six-pack! Featured on Gizmodiva these bags come with a durable carrying strap and cost $25. Do tell - geek or chic?

Hands-On With the Samsung Infuse 4G

I'll come right out and say it: to me, size matters. So when I heard about the Infuse 4G's huge 4.5-inch screen, I asked AT&T to send me a review unit, possibly out of morbid curiosity. Could a phone this big really make a girl happy? The answer is yes, my friends. Oh, yes.

I had read from the AT&T press release that the Infuse 4G would be big, but I didn't realize just how large it was until I peeled open the box. The thing is massive (only a few inches smaller than the Samsung Galaxy Tab!), but strangely enough I didn't mind. In fact, the bright and beautiful Super AMOLED Plus screen makes this one of the most spectacular smartphones to look at, and totally worth the real estate it will be taking up in your bag or pants pocket. The Infuse is wide, but it's incredibly thin. The phone measures 9.24mm thick at its largest (it has a lip at the bottom where the speaker/microphone lives), and is very sleek with its brushed gunmetal color and texturized backplate. Plus, it's so light (maybe the lightest phone I've handled in recent memory), but it doesn't send off that cheap, plastic vibe. The quality of the hardware is really impressive, and I gotta give Samsung a round of applause for this one. Well done.
