Customize Your Sidekick 3 with Skins

2006-12-25T22:46:00Z

Did you get a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 for Christmas? I wanted one, but it will have to wait until after the new year. But that hasn’t stopped me from looking at cool accessories and add-ons for the Sidekick3.

The shiny, glittery, Swarovski crystal style gel skins are on my list of must-have items. I’ve compiled a quickie composite of my favorite skins I’ve found so far. Out of the six above, I’d say my ultimate favorite is a toss up between the tropical monkeys and the pink Burberry style plaid.

You can find them at lots of places online. I happened to find these at a place called mygelskin.com They also have skins for the RAZR, SLVR, Ipod, PSP and more.

Fashionista’s Dream Come True

2006-12-24T16:04:01Z

Prada does cellphones and it’s an LG KE850 - customized.

It’s black, shiny and beautiful. What? Don’t believe me? I have the pictures to prove it.

This beautiful designer cellphone features a unique, touch screen display and a very minimalist design.

The user interface is a simple black and white, but not boring. The phone comes complete with a Prada leather case (of course!) and will be sold at a price tag of approximately $400-$500 (speculation).

Though it’s not yet available, look for it in 2007. The market will be Europe and America from what I read.

Depending on the official specs, this would be a phone I might consider buying. We’ll have to wait until full details are revealed to find out if it’s just a basic phone or a more ‘jazzed’ up model. It’s interesting though to see that the phone is rather monochrome and sort of “blah”—I’d at least expect a pink version. Wouldn’t you?

More photos after the jump, including display and touch screen shots.

Functional & Feminine Laptop Bag

2006-12-24T04:34:00Z

Okay, I just fell in love. I want this laptop bag! The Knomo™ Teeli is a superlight and slim bag that is handcrafted from full hide leather with quilted nylon twill.

It looks fantastic this pretty white and pink color, but it’s also available in black. Fits most 15” laptops including MacBook Pro 15.4”

The most interesting part. The Knomo™ tracker system to help find your Knomo if lost. Wonder if that only works in the UK? Not sure but sounds cool.

approx. $166 Knomo

Pink Leather ID Card Holder

2006-12-20T13:36:00Z

It’s mandatory that you wear a badge at some companies and government agencies. Do you have one of those plain old silver chains? I remember those days.

I found this nice leather identification card holder and it’s pink! Your work ID badge can either hang from the pink nylon lanyard or you can remove it to clip the leather case onto your shirt or jacket. It has a clear window so that everyone can see your gorgeous mugshot. I hate security ID photos, I used to make my flip over on purpose.

In case you’re interested, this comes in more than just pink. You could get a couple to match your wardrobe or style of the moment. Colors: Pink, Green, Orange, Black and Blue. So green for Christmas? Orange for Halloween? Black for “suit” days and blue for “casual Friday.” See, a color for any day.

Not sure how I missed this release, but I found a new pink or rather magenta Razr at T-Mobile that is extra special. It has a cool cherry blossom tattoo design by Ami James of Miami Ink.

So if you don’t already have a RAZR, now you can get a fancy one!

The Motorola RAZR V3 at T-Mobile offers an ultrathin profile, video playback, Bluetooth® technology, and a digital camera with 4x digital zoom.
