Cellphone Sidekick

Fashion is really versatile, it can team up with nearly everything, and most of the time we would love to see the outcome, because that means beautiful and functional. But what if fashion got really geeky, and nothing about functional, will you still buy it?

The fusion of fashion and technology so far has been going pretty well. We have seen laptops and cameras being influenced by top designers as well as assorted cases and accessories, and even headphones. However sometimes this merge can go awry and such is the case with Cellies “Arm Candi for your Cell.” A great concept in theory, but just not that functional in reality.

The essence of the accessory is that it slips on to your wrist, and on one side it is a studded cuff in addition to being a holster for your iPhone or any cellphone. The inner portion of the cuff has a material pouch that you can slip your device into.

However, whatever kind of device you decide to slip into this ‘Cellie’ – you’ll have a hard time operating it through your cuff as this was originally intended. The material used makes it hard to see the screen in order to operate the device in any way. So for anything more complicated than answering a call, you’ll have to take out the phone from the Cellie and use it – instead of being fashionably discreet.

The Cellie we got was the studded one and it seems to be one size fits all at the moment. So not only was it a little snug on our wrists to begin with – but adding an iPhone into the mix even made it more uncomfortable.

The concept of Cellie is also not all that dissimilar to the Showstopper Gadget Pouch that revealed earlier. But while Cellies seemed like an ingenious idea and certainly fashionable at first, it really isn’t arm candy at all nor is it flattering. Instead you look more robotic with a bulky phone on your wrist. For those who are looking to mix up their ways of carrying their cellphones – then by all means Cellies is certainly unique, but not practical. However if you want a great looking material wrist cuff to match your little black dress sans phone – then this is a great fashion accessory.

Well, despite the fact that I do love studded stuff lately, I don’t think this is going to be beautiful on your arm if you don’t have a really slim arm, not to mention comfortable and functional, so I’ll simply pass this. What about you?

There’re Google lovers everywhere, and for all those who love Android cellphone, we all know that the Google Nexus One is like the perfect choice, besides for the design and function reviews we’ve seen, simply for this is a Google phone, and Android just happens to be a Google system. That’s pretty enough for Android lovers to buy this phone, and now there’s even more!

Google’s Nexus One is cementing its status as a desirable phone: luxury case-makers are already rushing to case its slender slightly curvy body in plush materials. And the 3G network doesn’t even work on it yet. Well not one the one I saw last week.

Waterfield designs have coated it in suede leather in what they describe as a smart-looking and snug jacket. They’re also donating some of the proceeds to Haiti. Though it’s not luxe perhaps the coolest case of all is the little Android robot one that comes with it. Everyone loves that cute little robot, anything with that little robot on it just shows you’re really in with the whole Android chic.

The case chic has really come to the Google Nexus One now, here’re also some full marks to Gelaskins for creating some beautiful manga-inspired case designs for the Nexus, they’re really lovely.

Talking about iPhone cases we’ve seen quite a lot of them already, and some of them are really pretty, some might be very functional. Therefore, as we can always easily find a nice iPhone case, what’s so special about this Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’? Well, it’s beautiful and more high fashion, and… Just see it for yourself.

I absolutely love this multifaceted Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’ Case & Coin Purse! It’s dainty, sparkly, and just flat out fabulous! Featuring stunning sequins, this kiss-lock coin purse lavishly transforms to an iPhone case crafted from striated calfskin. Snap the coin purse to the case and wear as one, or wear either alone for multiple fashion options! I simply adore the dainty gold tone chain strap that can be used as a convenient carrying option!

An iPhone case and a coin purse, both are so fashionable and functional, the Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’ case and coin purse is really a nice outfit! Limited quantities of this little looker are available for pre-order at Nordstrom for $545.

Yeah, that’s true now you can literally talk on shoe, it’ll be fun! And yes, you get it again, it’s all about fashionable geeky cellphone cases that shaped like shoes and looks good for a cellphone.

For those of you who’ve always wanted to talk on your shoe (just like Max Smart) you won’t have to wait long. Prima Cases just exhibited their new cell phone holders at the Digital Life convention in New York recently. No word yet on pricing or availability, but I bet cellphone accessory lovers like you is going to have a thing or two to say about whether the pointy-toed cellphone case is in this year.

Well, the black and white one on the left is definitely my favorite, and what about you?

Cellphone cases are like clothes for our cellphones, although the old one is still in good condition and we may still love it, but still there’s new ones out there we want to have. Well, here is good news for Twi-Hards and others too, the Twilight Eclipse Laptop Skins and Cellphone Cases are available in the market, and they look good.

So the launch of the iPhone 4 has finally passed. So now everyone is on to the next waiting line – for Twilight Eclipse. Yes, the Twilight Saga continues today to be exact, and people have already started lining up and sleeping in tents outside of theaters to be the first ones to see it a few days ago. If you think iPhone 4 people are hardcore – you haven’t seen lovesick teens who think they should be the ones choosing Jacob or Edward, not Bella.

So in order to tide you over, here are a few geeky items to make your time on line pass or make those around you envious of your geeky Twilight wares. Skinit is offering up exclusive Twilight Eclipse Skins for all your devices. Be it a Kindle, iPhone, iPod, Laptop, etc…if you have one of these gadgets, Skinit could probably put a sexy Eclipse Skin on your device.

Our picks? How about a new Twilight Eclipse case for your iPhone 4, HTC EVO or Samsung Galaxy? Well Amazon has two available, one with the word eclipse stitched onto it and one with Team Jacob. Over at Etsy there is an Eclipse inspired crocheted iPhone/iPod Touch Cozy with red ribbon to boot on it. All three are cute and would make a perfect accessory to schlep your phone around in declaring you as a Twi-hard.

Well, Twi-hard or not, I do think this is a nice cellphone case, and Edward’s cute… Anyway hope you like it, and have fun with the movie!

iPhone case, I bet every iPhone owner has got more than one iPhone case now, but still there’s plenty of interesting iPhone cases out there which we would love. For example, this Gameboy Case is quite cute, and I would love to disguise my iPhone like that.

The iPhone may have replaced a few portable gaming devices for some people because it just does it all. So how apropos that a Gameboy case was created to house your iPhone 3G, 3GS, or iPod Touch, and iPod Classic. The case itself is made out of double layer of felt for extra protection and could probably double as a nice buffer to remove finger prints.

It retails for $25 bucks over at Etsy, which is kind of pricey for a homegrown case but still it has a charm that other cases don’t have, and the difference, the uniqueness is good, is something we appreciate, right? Anyway, I’m glad to see such a “different” iPhone case, as for buy it or not, it’s really your call.

Hello Kitty just never grow old, and we all want to be young, so we all (girls especially) love Hello Kitty, for it is always so cute and so young. The Japanese really know how to make business out of cuteness, so we now see the little Hello Kitty everywhere, in kitchens, on beddings, on kids clothing…and even on iPhones!

There’s quite a lot of Hello Kitty cases out there, and this one is a little special, let’s just say: Hello Kitty goes retro with its latest iPhone case cartoon.

We just love mentioning those Hello Kitty iPhone cases around here. So of course a new one was just released, and yes it’s an official Hello Kitty case from Sanrio. This latest one has her sitting on a backdrop of retro black and white comic designs. Aren’t those blue overalls just precious! The case also comes with a screen protector and is a hardshell design to protect it from bumps and drops.

Retro is good for Hello Kitty, and for us too. The Hello Kitty iPhone 3G/3GS Case Cartoon retails for $29.95.

Ever since the Mophie Juice Pack debuted, we  just can’t help wanting to have a really nice power case for our iPhones. It should be a nice cellphone case that can offer real protection to our dear iPhones, and more importantly it should be able to offer energy when our dear iPhones needed, so in short, it should be not just a set of armour, but a set of power armour, and we also want it to look pretty.

Well, le’s meet the MiLi Power Skin for iPhone 3GS, and see if this one meets our expectations.

I wasn’t all that impressed with the design of the MiLi power pack — it was good looking, but it wasn’t anything that Mophie hadn’t done yet. This MiLi Power Skin, on the other hand, is a real looker that’s just a hair slimmer than Mophie’s Juice Pack Air, while still maintaining the 1200mAh battery. There isn’t an on/off switch like on the JPA, but you can tell the device exactly when to charge your iPhone by pressing the power button. As a bonus, the Power Skin uses the now-ubiquitous mini-USB port, so you can have your pick of cables, should you lose the one that comes with this charger.

One of the best places to get this case still seems to be the aptly named Powerskin.co.uk, where you can purchase one for about $75. That’s a pretty nice price.

Anyway, I think this MiLi Power Skin is quite good, and do offer protection and power, but obviously not gorgeous, so can we wait for a better version to come out?

Admittedly we love to dress up our dearest iPhone, and there’s indeed many iPhone cases out there in the market, but you might still having some trouble finding just the one you wanted. So here I am to help you. If you have been looking for a tough case that offers dual layer protection while still keeping a slim profile, then the Case-Mate Hybrid Case for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G may just be the one you’ve been looking for.

Getting your iPhone snug and secure in the Hybrid case is a pretty simple process once you get the hang of it. It’s just a matter of two steps 1). put the silicon skin on, and 2). attach the outer hard shell. It may take you a few tries to get the volume rocker seated properly but once that is done you are good to go. My only real gripe with using the silicon skin is that it attracts dust so be prepared to clean it quite often if you are a neat freak like myself. At the end of the day, however, I am happy to trade a cleaning or two for top of the line protection.

The Case-Mate Hybrid feels absolutely great in the hand with it’s textured outer shell. It gives you just the right amount of grip to make sure your iPhone won’t easily go flying out of your hand. And in the worst-case scenario, if you happen to have one of those moments where a drop is out of your control, rest be assured your device is very well cushioned by the the 2 layers of protection the Hybrid is constructed of.

Along with two layers of protection Case-Mate also delivers one sweet look with the grey outer hard shell in combination with the black form-fitting soft silicone skin. The case wraps completely around the device leaving the screen, camera, headphone jack, vibrate switch, and 30-pin charging/sync port open. Meanwhile, the power button and volume buttons are covered and very well protected. It would have been nice if Case-Mate tossed in a cover for the 30-pin port but that is something I can get over with the over all quality of the case.

With a few minor annoyances aside, Case-Mate has done a fantastic job with this Hybrid Case for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G, which you can purchase for around $29.95.

Among all these iPhone cases in the market, I can really say this one is a winner, you won’t be regret to get one. So what are you waiting for, get moving!

Like I said I love Juicy Couture, their juicy charms, their beautiful accessories, their nice clothes, and also their fabulous iPhone cases! So admittedly, a nice cellphone case today is quite essential for your beautiful BlackBerry while a really nice one is quite difficult to find. Well, if you feel the same, then you should now join me and cheer.

Are you a BlackBerry owner that is jealous of the Juicy Couture iPhone case that we posted about a few days ago? Fortunately, there is no need to be jealousy. Juicy Couture is selling a three pack of BlackBerry cases. It doesn’t specify which BlackBerry models these cases will fit, but from the product picture, it looks like the Curve is a safe bet. Each pack comes with a pink, black and green case and each case has a “Peace Love Juicy” print covering its back. The BlackBerry case pack retails for $58.00.

As is pictured at left, the Juicy Couture cases for BlackBerry are quite beautiful and they feels good too! Look juicy? Well, just get up and dress your BlackBerry juicy!
