Blingy iPhone Case: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:45:39 -0700

I'm all for embellishments, but check out this decked-out iPod case. The Showstopper iPhone Case ($20) is covered in gold, brown, silver, and gold beads and is the latest in blinged-out accessories.

Are you in love, or is it a little too bedazzled?

Jeweled USB Bracelet: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:45:37 -0800

You can't misplace your USB stick if you're wearing it. This isn't the first bracelet with a built-in flash drive that I've seen, only the last one was made of rubber and would not exactly go with everything in your closet. This Jeweled USB Bracelet from Brando is light years flashier, with a bracelet in gold or silver, flanked by what I assume are rhinestones (being that it's just $33).

It's got 8GB of memory, and like I said, would be hard to misplace. It's on your wrist and screams BLING!

Would you sport this?

Yubz Gets Fancy With a Crystal Covered Bluetooth Handset

GeekSugar — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 04:00:17 -0800

Yubz, the experts in retro-esque Bluetooth handsets, have stepped up their game by showing off a limited edition Yubz Talk - which comes covered in 5,400 Swarovski crystals - at CES this past week. For only $1,800 you can pick up one of these exclusive handsets (out of twenty total). Or you can get the rock gold version for just $50, which in my opinion is just as bling.

iPod Holster Is a Little Glam, a Little Garish

GeekSugar — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 13:00:42 -0800

If I were a rich girl, then this iLuv iPod Holster $60 could be mine.

Would I buy it though? In its gold glory, it's kind of a fun display of empty excess, but I don't know if that's really my MO.

It's sort of Carrie Bradshaw in gold doorknocker territory, and maybe during a recession, that show - real or fake gold - may have passed.

But considering it comes with matching gold earbuds, it's a fun little package, and could be a great Christmas present for your Fergie- or Gwen-worshiping friend.

Maria Serves up Diamond-Encrusted Cameras by Canon

GeekSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 02:00:43 -0700

Tennis star Maria Sharapova is quite the busy gal. Already one of the faces of Canon's PowerShot cameras, she now lends herself to a line of new cameras - the limited edition Canon Powershot Diamond Collection cameras.

To kick off the new collection, Canon is giving away five diamond-studded PowerShot SD1100 cameras (find contest on right side of the page) which feature 88 white diamonds totaling 2.22 carats each around the lens.

I can't imagine that these cameras come cheap, so even if you aren't thrilled about the idea of having a blinged-out camera, just imagine how much it's worth (hello - eBay?!).

Molly Sims Geeks Out With Her Decorated DS

GeekSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 07:30:16 -0700

I spy with my little eye, something shiny and sparkly! In this week's issue of Life & Style, Molly Sims was caught showing off her bling'd out white Nintendo DS (one of my favorite portable devices ever) at a recent event. We're giving away our own white DS, but lucky Molly has had hers covered with black and pink crystals in the shape of a sexy pump. How very Sex and the City, no?

Although L&S dubbed her a "Diva" for glamming up her gaming gadget, I think it's totally geek chic. But who would have thought otherwise coming from a fashion powerhouse like Molly Sims!? What do you think of her decorated DS?

The Bag That Kept Carrie's Phone in Hiding

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 09:00:53 -0700

Who would have thought that this exact (but in pink!) Judith Leiber cupcake evening bag would have such a significant role in the
Sex and The City movie.

First of all, Charlotte's adorable Lily answers Carrie's Swarovski crystal encrusted phone and puts it in this bag and then walks off with it. And then Big keeps trying to call Carrie, but her phone is held captive in this cupcake - therefore I'm blaming their (spoiler alert!) failed wedding round one on this jewel-encrusted $4295 bag.

Bling'd Out Style From Japan

GeekSugar — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:00:16 -0700

Straight from the HQ of all things awesome (Japan if you don't know), comes these totally bling'd out headphones from +D Style and Amateur Meister. We've seen crystal studded headphones before, but these designs are more my style. Thankfully, I have an insider that knows Japanese, so I can tell you that these babies are not only super stylish, but super expensive to boot. There are just some things that you have to sacrifice for fashion, no? Covered in Swarovski crystals, placing all of the tiny gems has to be a time consuming project, hence the big price for big pimpin' style. In fact, the designer is in such high demand, that the headphones pictured here were special ordered by an Italian soccer player. Pretty cool, indeed. Check out the slideshow for more sweet bling from Japan!

Cell Phones Protected by Crystals and Glitter

GeekSugar — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 10:11:42 -0800

I knew I had my fill of pink gadgets when I was cruising around CES a couple of weeks ago, but who knew I'd see so many bedazzled cell phone cases!

The following cases are a far cry from Case-Mate's diamond encrusted iPhone case, but they are inexpensive and fit on a variety of cell phone models. Some are covered with glitter while others, like the BlackBerry Pearl case, have crystals surrounding the screen area. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a case that's a little less flashy. . . Although if I had to pick a favorite, this one would definitely be it. Have a peek at the ones below and tell me which one appeals to you the most!
