Retrofit Your iPhone

Your series of Hipstamatic prints documenting the trip you took through the Balkan States could be curated and sold at Sotheby’s. With such classic photos at your fingertips, it would be nice if your camera/phone looked the part too. The Gizmon iCA iPhone Case ($65.00) turns your iPhone into a retro film camera. Constructed with two pieces of tough Polycarbonate that surrounds your phone, the case comes with two mock ‘lenses’ that attach to the front. A detachable tripod mount is great for longer exposures and the soft Gizmon bag will protect the Camera/iPhone when not in use. Wear it around your neck next time you fancy yourself a photojournalist and watch as your subjects find you.

Stylish School Supplies

Velcro?  Check.  Wraparound flap?  Check.  Rad new designs?  Check.  The makers of Mead’s sought-after Trapper Keepers ($12.00) have upped the design ante this year with a cool new “Designer Series” for their popular binders. Here’s a quick look at what you can expect for the ’88 school year: awesome “Saved by the Bell” type graphics  (i.e. a teal background with orange and pink sprinkles and 3-dimensional orbs), swooshes of primary colors, a penguin playing volleyball (an iguana going up for a spike is also available), a red Lamborghini, a montage of all things cool (an electric guitar, a pair of neon shades, a pink ’57 Chevy and a glass of cherry cola.  Oh, and some inflatable palm trees), unicorns, scenic hot air balloons, frolicking tigers, frolicking horses, and our personal favorite, a basket full of kittens.  These bodacious designs definitely make the grade.

It also includes wireless ear buds, so turn up Diddy and sing all about the Benjamins.

Wet, Wild, And Ready For Your Close-up

On land, you perfected your own model poses—Conquistador and El Gringo—by the tender age of 17. But this summer, you think your underwater “looks” might be just about ready to be immortalized and shared with your adoring public. Pick up the Sony Cyber-Shot TX200V Waterproof Camera ($490) and get ready to bust out Triton, Lord of the Mermaids next time you take a dip.

Your photographer will also enjoy high-speed autofocus, red-eye reduction, anti-blink technology, and of course, 1080/60p full HD video with simultaneous still and video shooting, sure to capture to subtle nuances of Triton and Aqua Velva Man.
