These iBags have been designed to be reminiscent of old school boom boxes. Each iBag can connect to your ipod, mp3 player or phone and play music off of it's built-in speakers. The bags also have built-in FM Radio with the controls for the speakers and the radio all located on the front of the bag. The BoomBox Red and Spin Black ibags retail for $49.95 each. There is also a Vinyl-Aqua Radio Tote Carrying Bag that resembles an old vinyl record player and retails for $59.95. Unfortunately these bags seem to have been discontinued but we're sure if you really want one, you'll be able to find them on eBay or somewhere else online.
The Blue Beatz iPod Case allows you to play a barrage of funky beats over the music that you're listening to on your ipod. Why someone would want to do that exactly, we have no idea.

Having fun with friends often means taking lots of photos. Funksion has come out with a new line of fun fashionable purses that double as digital camera bags. The Funksion Cam Clutch Goin' Out is just the right size [7.25" wide, 6" high, 2" deep] for a night out with your buddies. Stylish enough so that nobody knows it's a camera bag, it can hold a standard size digital camera while still leaving plenty of room for your cellphone, makeup, wallet and more.
The outer canvas fabric is sturdy, while the soft 100% cotton lining inside protects your camera. There is a zippered pocket on the inside for your valuables and three expandable mesh pockets on the outside for memory cards or other accessories. The brown bag [as shown] has a teal logo, stitching and piping. It also comes with a detachable shoulder strap. Also, the bag is more lightweight than your average camera bag, so that carrying it around is a pleasant experience.
We think that this would make the perfect gift for the tween girls on your list. And even though the Cam Clutch is geared towards carrying a digital camera, the case is well suited for carrying around an ipod, Nintendo DS Lite, and any other gadget that you want to keep protected. The purse is also available in black and pink, or beige and black, and is available at select retailers in Canada and online at www.funksion.ca for an affordable $19.99.

We spotted these at Spencer's Gifts where they were just $4.99. Spencer's also had a selection of similar iPets cases which were like the iDevil and iAngel but came in different colors and personae, such as a frog version that came in green.

Lap Sack has just introduced their new Island Collections of Laptop totes and portfolios made of ultra-suede and Italian leather materials.

Monster's mini-power strip even has a built-in circuit breaker and it will not take of nary of space in a laptop bag or briefcase. This stylishly designed travel necessity is available only in white.

Technically, one could put a hat over one's headphones and achieve the same outcome offered by the Bonfire headphone beanie ($40). But the latter option, designed for snowboarders, is a far svelter one-stop solution. Plug the beanie into an MP3 player and the music shoots directly into speakers in the hat's lining. The idea is that extreme sports people shouldn't have to worry about ear buds popping out in the midst of dangerous maneuvers. For non-extreme sports people, it'll work for a snowy commute. - Kevin Geter
