The thin case easily snapped on securely to the back of my phone, barely adding any bulk, and although the case was an unmissable hot pink, its velvety matte coating gave it a sleek, elegant finish.  This color also made it much easier to find in the depths of my beach bag (did I mention I’m writing from LA this week?), which is my constant frustration.

I was especially impressed by the quality of the earbuds.  Not only did they have a fully functioning microphone, but they successfully drowned out all the outside noise while putting me in heavy-bass Britney mode.  The matching pop of color at the ear coordinated with the phone shell, giving the overall look this subtle consistency which I particularly appreciate.

Overall, iFrogz has definitely designed quality goods, and I will be rocking the pink until it goes out of style (obvi I mean never).  For more info check out their site right heresies. If you have any more questions tweet ‘em at me @iamsamlim

Digital hot or nerd-geek not?

The fastest-growing age group on Facebook might just surprise you.

2010 was a ridiculous year for Facebook. The social media giant went from 337 million users to 585 million in the 365 days that made up last year.

Interestingly, Candytech’s data revealed that users 65 years of age+ were the fastest growing demographic on Facebook last year. Maybe that’s why I’ve been repetitively Facebook stalked by scooter-riding grandmothers. Hot.

The covers above have to be my favorite covers for the season. I am loving the animal prints that happen to be big right now. I also am digging the amazing woodwork seen in the upper right corner. (Never goes out of style btw!) I personally am not a huge fan of denim anything but the lace details on the cover in the lower left side is beautiful and classy. Last but not least this winter is a huge resurgence of the all black movement. It so great to see it punched up with awesome studs as seen in the center.

To check these out and other go to Jagger Edge.
