Gold and Silver Cell Phone Straps: Love or Leave?

GeekSugar — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:00:54 -0700

If the plush Fonies weren't something you'd want to hang from your cell phone, check out these sequined gold and silver charms. These charms are definitely one of those fashion over function accessories and most likely the ideal strap for people who want to add some sparkle to their otherwise plain phone. Displayed on 7Gadgets, these shimmery cloths cost $7.35 each with three styles to choose from. Not something I'd particularly want attached to my phone, but let me know what you think!

I can't say I regularly tote around miniSD cards, but if this fun holder could carry a USB stick, I'd be all for it. These card eating straps which I saw on OhGizmo! can be attached to cell phones and cameras so you know exactly where your memory card is at all times. Maybe not as bling as the Louis Vuitton charm but much more practical and user-friendly than the cell phone cuffs! Priced at $10.

These bio-tech mobile plant cell phone straps definitely have a bit more 'life' to them than these other wacky cell phone straps! Available in blue and pink, these real life plant phone charms don't require any food or water - you just leave them alone and let them survive off the food in the bottle. Kinda cute, I'm just hoping that they wouldn't break or leak inside my purse. Do you like? Leave your comments below! To purchase for $9, go to Strapya World

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Strap On Cell Phone

GeekSugar — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 08:00:07 -0800

Get yo strap-on with the multi-functional CPC strap. I'm trying to guesstimate how many celebs sported this accessory down the red carpet at the Oscars. Just when you thought this $20 elastic band couldn't get anymore glamorous - it includes a jewelry strap loop so you can personalize the case by attaching cell phone trinkets, beads or charms. Yikes!

Cell Phone Straps Are A Must Have Accessory In Japan

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Feb 2007 11:00:58 -0800

Japan is definitely an accessory crazed nation, so when I saw these unique cell-phone straps from Strapya I didn't even bat an eyelash. From school girl uniforms, a yoga guru, a Hello Kitty charm and even a gremlin with matching colored phone, these straps add personal style to generic cell phones. Do you think these straps will soon be a thing of the past? Or will their popularity continue to grow in Japan but not in North America? Leave your thoughts and comments below!

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Sexy Cell Phone Charm

GeekSugar — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 08:00:21 -0700

There are some accessories that really do make me feel sexy - new cute heels, a sleek clutch, even new gadgets - but the Sexy Underwear Cell Phone Strap from Strapyaworld are a little more than I can handle. The ad promises the miniature panties are "tiny but quite tempting" and will "catch all attentions!" I say that's not the kind of "attentions" any gal needs while talking on her phone. On the whole it can be pretty hard to find Chic Cell Phone Bling that doesn't scream tacky or make you feel like you need a membership card to the Hello Kitty fanclub, so I say these lingerie-inspired ribbons are, well, off the charts. What do you think?

Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Leather Cell Necklace/Strap

GeekSugar — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 07:00:57 -0700

I know I have made fun of David Beckham, Courteney Cox and Joel Madden for using dorky belt clips to hold their BlackBerries, but there are some acceptable ways to carry your cell phone on your person without looking like the geeky copy guy. While I'd prefer them to be slimmer, I can't find anything terribly offensive about these leather cell necklaces from Strapya World. They come in a variety of colors and would free up your hands and pockets of your cell, while keeping it near. Of course, once you get that call you expected you can always slip it into your purse.

Gear Review: Modern Union Yoga Bag

FitSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:00:03 -0700

Dealing with my yoga mat when I ride to the gym can be a pretty tricky feat. I have a bike basket that I can tie it to but it always throws me off balance. That's why I was really excited to find these messenger bags from Modern Union ($68). The bags were designed by yoga studio owners Stephanie Ofanankis and Belinda Osborne because the partners couldn't find a yoga bag that met their lifestyle needs - lucky me!

First off, I love the textiles they chose - simple, colorful, and modern. Beyond that it's a great bag to take to the gym or use on your days off. The straps on the bottom of the bag keep a yoga mat secure, and I like that there are outside pockets for a water bottle and cell phone. The inside of the bag is roomy enough to carry gym essentials or even a laptop. Inside are a bunch of smaller pockets so things don't get lost, including a key ring holder.

Most importantly these Modern Union bags make commuting on a bike so easy. There's a padded shoulder strap for comfort and a magnetic closure, which is great in case you need to get in and out of your bag quickly if you're stopped at a light. An added bonus is each bag is made out of durable cordura, meaning it won't be ripping, scuffing, or tearing on you anytime soon and it's water resistant.

Keep Your Tech Covered With the Redmaloo Felt Sleeves

I talk a lot of game about keeping your cell phones and MP3 players safe and covered, but guess what - I don't always take my own advice. For example, my iPod is not covered most of the time, and I sometimes let my iPhone run naked in my bag. Bad news, I know. But if I had the extra cash to throw down for these designer Redmaloo Felt Sleeves (about $43) - which are designed to fit your iPhone and iPod Touch, but I think they could fit your Blackberry and other gadgets - I would totally spring for them.

Not only are the colors totally inviting, but the elastic strap ensures that your tech isn't going anywhere but safely home. Plus, felt keeps your screens free of scratches, and the fabric is a cool juxtaposition next to your sleek gadgets.
