Review: iLuv Flexi-Clear Case with stand for the iPad

by on September 23rd, 2010

Iluv

Unfortunately I do not have an iPad though I have tested accessories on my friend’s and demo’d them in the store (I live 4 blocks away from the Apple Store…how can a city girl resist). Admittedly I am an accessories junkie; send me anything that makes my user experience better and more personable the better.

A while ago I received the iLuv Flexi-Clear Case with stand for the iPad in the pink color. The casing has a dot wave shape design and comes in black, blue, pink, and clear. It is tear proof and damage resistant made with a light-weight flexible material. I tried it out on my pal’s iPad and it was pretty simple to put on. The ports were pretty easy to access and and the case seems durable. I intend on doing a second review once I get an iPad since I will be buying the different patterns of the iLuv Flexi-Clear Case with stand for the iPad. The only thing I don’t think I would utilize is the stand that comes with it; simply because it’s not made to compute on…merely just a stand for your iPad.

This product is perfect for consumers like me that are extremely hard on their products. The iLuv Flexi-Clear Case with stand for your iPad retails for 29.99 and you can purchase is here.

Back to school review: chicboom Keychain Speaker by chicBuds

by on September 16th, 2010

IMG_2590

Since it’s back to school time it got me thinking how different things were back in my day. This may date me but when I was in high school we didn’t have MP3 players or cell phones…just beepers and the discman/ walkman. If you wanted your friend to listen to your mix tape (yeah I said it) or CD at school you had this awkward moment of ear cooties with your friend…and forget about portable speakers because back then I wouldn’t say they were exactly that portable (at least the affordable ones). Who wants to put that in your backpack on top of all the books we had to carry (b/c we didn’t have kindle back in 98′)?

Leap forward to 2010…I was sitting in my condo and I got a package from chicBuds which is a company that specializes in fashion forward electronics. The first little thing that stood out was the chicboom Keychain Speaker and immediately thought teenagers + back to school = genius ( AND why didn’t we have this when I was in HS school?!). In a world consumed of portable devices this seems like it would be ideal for any girl and it’s a key chain…how convenient and cool is that?!  Continue Reading…

Nina’s favorite website of the week: www.shapeways.com

by on March 9th, 2010

I received an email about trying out the www.shapeways.com website. I didn’t know what to expect as I had never heard Shapeways before. With Shapeways you can upload a 3D image you created, download their software, create it and within 10-14 business days you will receive your printed 3D product. They also have models that you can purchase as well if you don’t have a 3D image. Eventually I created a 3D cutegeek rubber stamp and an stylist with my initials (the minimum purchase is $25.00). I have yet to receive my products as I just created them but I am anxious to get them in the mail! And the best part…wait for it…free shipping!

I have been receiving continuous updates and looking forward to giving you all part deux of what I should receive.  Stay tuned cutegeekers!

Nina’s Favorite Website of the Week- www.eventbrite.com

by on February 22nd, 2010

I love event planning! As part of my small business and social commitee duties for my building I plan meetings and events. I wanted a website that I could create an easy URL that folks could remember off the flyers in my elevators for our building social events (not some random numbers/ letters that no one could ever recall). I found this website recently called www.eventbrite.com.  Unlike evite on this website you get a URL that is personalized, sell tickets for your event (if you want), and upload all the important event information/pictures for your guest. It’s pretty simple to use as you just put in all the important information for your event and what type of URL address you want. As a user you also can create a color scheme, post to various social medias, create headers and footers, and truly personalize it to your event. Below is a Mock up event I created for you all to see how easy and simple it is to use plus the URL to check out my fake event :-) http://cutegeek.eventbrite.com/

eventbrite

It’s the best way to have a short time URL for your event and/ or sell tickets to your events. So everyone check out my simple mock up and let me know what you think!

I got a PSP; Now I Can Play Rock Band Anywhere I go!

by on August 3rd, 2009

rockband game and pspI finally got a PSP (our friend gave us one) and Rockband Unplugged for it courtesy of the friendly folks at Harmonix and MTV. After E3 playing Rockband Unplugged on PSP I realized it was a must have for me!  For several reasons, first I hate flying with a passion and I believe this is a great distraction for anyone like me or those who travel allot and are bored on a plane.

I am the type that needs to have a few glasses of wine and take 2 Dramamine just to get through security, board the plane and prepare for take off.  Once my husband put me on the smallest plane (2 propeller plane) known to man in a thunderstorm from Seattle to Utah…I was convinced he was trying to kill me by a plane crash (not to mention ironically my life insurance was up’d).  Something to be said when even the flight attendants were white as a ghost and no drink service. ”CRAP,” I thought…I don’t even get a glass of wine before I die!

Innex Skins! A Nina CUTEGEEK fan GIVE AWAY!!

by on July 27th, 2009

skinHello Cutegeek FANS; its rare I get this opportunity but I got some cool skins that frankly will not match with any of my technical devices!  Sorry I am not an iPhone chick nor do I own an Xbox (bummer I know but one does has to stop after having a PSP and PS3; though after E3 I have considered getting a Wii)! 

I talk on the phone way to much so dealing with an iPhone that is anything BUT a phone would piss me off (trust me I tested it out)! I love my iPod shuffle but I need a reliable phone considering I live IN the city and frankly you never know what you may run into while on a random outing. Story of my life recently!

So I have these very vibrant colored skins for an Xbox and for an iPhone.  Whomever replies the quickest that is a TRUE cutegeek fan (prove it to me honey) plus has a funny remark shall get these skins (granted you live in the USA because heck I am not rich and I will be shipping it to you)!

This shall be a true test of who is Nina cutegeek fan! LOL. Game on cutegeekers!

Note: The iphone skin is the exact design!

Innex shares success with KIDS IN NEED!!

by on July 23rd, 2009

I love doing charity!  Personally it is one of the most rewarding things to help someone in need!  Unfortunately I tend to just want to help just about everything including abandoned dogs (or dogs wondering around with no owner) but that’s another tale all on its own (I am no longer allowed to work at dog shelters since I want to take every dog home)! 

So this AM I get this press release; nothing like I have seen before (we launched in March so I am sure this isn’t the first charity initiative) and I just had to post it! So here is the press release exactly like I received in my inbox!!

“Videogame Distributor Donates Percentage to Kids in Need Foundation , Helping
Provide Free School Supplies to Impoverished Children”
 
“City of Industry, CA (July, 2009) – Innex, a major distributor of videogame peripherals and accessories, today announced that it has signed a cause marketing license agreement with the KIDS IN NEED FOUNDATION. Marathon Projects Ltd, the licensing agency for the Kids In Need Foundation negotiated the transaction. This will be the latest partnership agreement under the Kids In Need Foundation cause licensing program.”

“Believing that the meaning of success is the ability to help others, Innex, Inc. has announced that it will donate a percentage of its sales revenue to the KIDS IN NEED FOUNDATION, a charity that provides free school supplies to impoverished children. Moving forward, Innexwill allocate a portion of all revenue, including sales of its exclusive brands (Komodo, Retro-Bit, Exo-Flex) to KIDS IN NEED.” Continue Reading…
