Stylish new tech cases

Graphic designer and tech blogger Tierra loves exploring the intersection of fashion and technology...from laptops to mobile to the latest gotta-have gadget, she's your girl.

Stylish tech accessories are hard to find, for more than one reason. In my search for fashionable technology, I’ve found that many designers think that if they just make a gadget pink, women will buy it. I’ve also come to understand that technology designers are just beginning to understand women’s fashion. And unfortunately, women who use technology everyday are not voicing their distaste with present designs

In lieu of those points, sometimes I jump for joy when I run across people who are finally getting the picture. Life! has launched a line of the cutest cases for your cameras and laptops that are stylish, cute, and will fit into any fashion style. The best part about the laptop totes is that each one has these little compartments to hold your iPods, keys, pens, and other things which allows me not to be forced to carry a laptop and a purse to a business meeting. But don’t just take my word; a representative from Life! explains the versatility of the designs:

“Our varied range of sophisticated bags enables women to make a fashion statement at work, while protecting their valuable possessions at the same time,” says Annique Rochecouste, national sales and marketing manager of AZDesignz, owner of the Life! brand. “The fact that major department stores such as Myer are showcasing our designer bags as fashion accessories is a strong endorsement of the high quality of our range.”

“As a global leader in the design and creation of innovative and remarkable lifestyle products, we designed the women’s laptop bags after identifying a gap in the market for bags specifically suited to businesswomen. Women no longer have to be stuck carrying around an ugly laptop bag. Now they can choose a bag that is both practical but which makes a great accessory to their outfit as well.”

I took a couple of looks around and after checking out their website, these are a few of my favorite designs:

Stud Le Clique

This cute studded design comes in black or pink with a lanyard and a belt loop for easy handling on the go.

The Ambrosia 15.4 Laptop Tote

Cute and stylish bag! I love it because the main compartment zips instead of using the same lame velcro or buckle like other bags. It’s also versatile enough to be used as a laptop tote/purse because of all the compartments. There is an internal zip pocket, dog clip for keys, a space for your phone, a space for you iPod, two pen slots, and three slots for your important cards (driver’s license, credit card, etc.).

Acacia 15.4 Laptop Sleeve

For those days that you don’t feel like replacing your D&B for a laptop bag, a laptop sleeve is a lightweight exception. It has a zip and buckle, it’s padded, and it has comfy straps… plus it’s really cute.

There are many more designs at the Life! website that can fit your personal style. But be warned… there are not a lot of summer designs or bright colors.

Happy shopping!
