  • New Leather Cases for UMPCs, Eee

    Although my bag addiction hasn't been as publicized as Rob's, I am indeed a bag lady; my husband will confirm that any day. And new cases have just been announced from Vaja Leather Products and Brando ! Ah, the joy of a new leather case... Vaja has always been a favorite case manufacturer of mine, and their new line of universal UMPC pouches looks like another winner. I haven't seen the new UMPC cases specifically, but the Vaja cases I've had in the past have all had soft leather, very tactile, and a very well-made appearance. Pocketables has a nice chart of the available sizes and prices. There are four sizes so that you can get a close fit to your UMPC, but these are not cheap cases. These range from $120 to $140, so you'd better love your leather. If course, the only case I've like better than my Vaja was my Piel Frama case for my TC1100. Now that was a sweet case, but also cost me nearly $200 a couple of years ago. If you are one of the legions of people who have bought an ASUS Eee recently, then you need to give it a good home. Luckily, Brando knows that the average Eee buy will probably not shell out half of the cost of an Eee on a case, so the new Brando case is only $38. For a custom fit case that looks pretty nice, this is a steal. The only drawback that I see is that it is a portfolio style, so no handle and no shoulder strap. Add both of those, and I'd consider buying the Eee so that I could have the cool case. :) via GearDiary , Brando Technorati Tags: Case , Vaja , Brando , Eee , UMPC Can your PC keep up?

  • Black Hole phone pouch hides your cellphone signal

    Just as a Black Hole eats up anything in its vicinity - including light - Brando’s Black Hole bag will eat up your mobile phone’s wireless signal. Putting your phone into this Black Hole phone bag will effectively block all incoming and outgoing signals from your mobile phone. The Black Hole phone bag has two pockets - one that will act as a normal cellphone pouch, and one that will wrap your phone in an impenetrable wireless cocoon. For $12 at Brando’s website , you can pick up a Black Hole bag for those times when you want to hide yourself from the “grid” without pressing the “power” button.

  • Pull up a chair, your mobile phone looks tired

    Have you been putting your mobile phone to good use? Well, chances are it’s getting a bit tired of all the hard work. What better way to give your phone a much need break than to give it a seat, literally. These little Phone Chairs from Brando (in your choice of Pink, Green, or Aqua) might just be worth the $6 price tag to let your precious little mobile know you care. We like to buy our mobile phones a bunch of roses every once in a while - it’s a nice gesture. Or you could just, you know, put it on your desk. The problem is, the price is low enough that we wouldn’t have too many reservations about wasting our money on this little mobile phone “accessory.” [Via: JustAMP ] ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:SK Telecom develops phone-controlled vacuuming robotWhy don't camera phones have timers?Request: Can anyone give me any information about Sombrero?emoze at the Smartphone ShowModding: Turn your old NES controller into a phone case
