by Cool Mom Staff | Cell Phone Accessories

As a military spouse, I don’t need an excuse to show my patriotism with a little red, white, and blue on the 4th of July or any day. Well, with this cool case I can do it with my iPhone 4. This limited edition Patriot iPhone case from Speck is fitted perfectly...

Yarnbomb my cell phone

by Delilah S. Dawson | Cell Phone Accessories

Sometimes, I dream of living in a big city. Not because of the amazing restaurants or beautiful sights or handy mass transit. All that’s great. But my dream is much more romantic and capricious. I long to come across some quality yarn bombing. A statue in a...

by Cool Mom Staff | Cell Phone Accessories

Last week, I spent a little time with Jaime Derringer, mom-to-be, and genius behind the uber-popular design blog Design Milk. When she pulled out her custom, handmade iPhone case, I couldn’t stop fawning over it. (Seriously. It was a little embarrassing.) Her...

Give your phone a Bone

by Cool Mom Staff | Cell Phone Accessories

Since first seeing the BONE portable iPhone amplifier, I am totally coveting one. Not only does it look terrific in all those pretty colors, but it makes perfect sense for those of us who know how pathetic it is having the kids shouting into the terrible iPhone...

My iPhone wants to feel pretty this spring too

by Cool Mom Staff | Cell Phone Accessories

It’s funny, the iPhone case that seemed so perfect this past fall now is feeling a little dark and heavy, what with spring finally here. I think I’m going to be one of those people who changes my smartphone cover with the season, especially now that...

A custom iPhone case with your uncommon photography

by Mir | Cell Phone Accessories

Remember when we flipped for the stunning array of available gallery images for the various iPhone cases available at This Is Uncommon? We were particularly impressed with the interchangeable plates for the Gallery model. But you knew we couldn’t rest until we...

Can an iPhone case make you happy?

by Cool Mom Staff | Cell Phone Accessories

I love the idea of handmade gadget cases. It seems so yin/yang to merge the soft with the hard, the hand-stitched with the backlit. These little leather gadget pods totally make me happy. While they’re made for anything roughly iPhone sized, I might go a little...
