Leave it to the fine folks at Casemate to come out with colorful, chic tech accessories as soon as the new iPad drops. Gone are the days when early adopters have to search for weeks, if not months, for decent accessories for their new devices. When I first got my 2nd gen iPad, I initially settled on a 1st gen case, then an envelope and now, after several months, I finally feel like I've found accessories that appropriately match my personality. With on-trend colors like turquoise, hot pink, and orange, you won't need to settle.
Case-Mate has tweaked many of their popular iPad accessories to make them new iPad ready, however I feel that the two most solution-driven designs are the Tuxedo and the Barely There. The Tuxedo ($60) provides full device protection for your iPad, plus comes with smart magnets and the cover doubles as a stand. No need to worry about matching your back cover to your frong, as this is an all-in-one case. However, if you were anxious and picked up a Smart Cover for your iPad (I don't blame you, I did the same thing), then check out the Barely There ($40). This case works in conjunction with your Smart Cover to provide hard shell protection to the vulnerable back of your device.
These and other new Case-Mate accessories for the new iPad will start to be available beginning March 15.

Fast forward to the Nokia I had in college - the one with the customizable faceplates and keypads - that I changed to match every outfit. These days, I have a couple of different cases for my iPhone 4. While most of them serve utilitarian purposes, like my

Some people laugh at me, and some people stare at me in amazement when I tell them a pretty basic fact about me: I don't have a cell phone. That's right, if you want to call me, you can't unless I'm home (and that's only because I have Skype). You may be asking yourself "how the heck do you live without a cell phone?" and to be honest I might have said that myself 3 months ago, but the truth is, it's been a very easy transition, thanks to my friend
