Your iPhone now has a B side
I’m as addicted to Spotify, Pandora, and iTunes as everyone else, but the teenage girl in me still gets all swoony over the thought of a mix tape. Remember what it was like, holding that plastic rectangle of dreams for the first time and decoding every message...
Finally, quarters are useful again
Sadly, a single quarter is kind of useless these days, save for 10 measly minutes on a parking meter. But thanks to technology and smart design, a quarter is now super useful. Even your iPhone is sitting up to take notice. When I saw the Coin 4 iPhone case case I was...
Who you gonna call?
I used to spend hours wearing a path in the carpet and talking on our wall-anchored telephone. And though my tween daughter will be less, er, tethered when she finally gets her own phone, I know she will probably follow in my chatty footsteps. Still, I’ve heard...
Pretty Blackberry cases. Yes, they do exist!
With all the pretty iPhone cases we feature, I keep getting requests from my Blackberry-toting friends to find some covers for them as well. So leave it to CMP fave Jonathan Adler to design gorgeous cases that are perfectly sized for you Blackberry mamas. These...

Charge your iPhone with a rainbow
If you live in an iPhone household like I do, then you’re probably up to your ears in those white charging cords. Well now that I’ve discovered these bright alternatives, there will be no question which cord is mine. The brightly colored Mini 2 in 1 iPhone...
Pretty things from Dickens? Please, sir. I want some more!
You might have noticed that last Tuesday’s Google Doodle was a beautiful illustration in honor of Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday. But did you know that Valentine’s Day marks the great author’s celebrated trip to America, where he was feted...
Baby got back.
There’s just no way I could go without a case on my iPhone 4, thanks to four little ones, but I can’t help but be a little jealous every time I see one those brave folks who go cover-free with their pretty, sleek iPhone. Well with these cool iPhone backs,...
Pong keeps Android users’ heads safe too!
Ever since the World Health Organization came out with the report about cell phones and radiation, I’ve been a big advocate of Pong cases. And now they’ve added some new cases to their list, which will make you Samsung Galaxy S II (and other Droid) owners...NEW: The podcast that helps you be a savvier digital parent in under 15 minutes a week
