If you haven't discovered skullcandy headphones, you are truly missing out.

The default white ones that came with my ipod just sucked. They hurt, they would fall out of my ears, and the sound just wasn't cutting it.

While browsing at FYE, I stumbled across Skullcandy's Ink'd earbuds. They had some on clearance and I thought, what the heck, I'll give them a go. My friends, I have never looked back.

Features I Love:
Comfort - They actually fit. This was the first thing I noticed. I can wear them all day long and they never hurt. They have silicon gel buds that form to your ear. Genius.
Noise Cancellation - They work wonders. Never have I been able to tune the world out better.
Stay Put - They don't fall out when I walk, run, or dance like a fool in my living room.
Sound - My tunes have never sounded better.
Cool - They just look cool. Several colors and styles to choose from.
Durable - I'm rough on them and my first pair lasted about a year.

Skullcandy headphones not only make you look good, they sound great. The Ink'd earbuds are just the beginning. They have other options that just keep getting better and better.

My iPhone 4 Speck Case

Darkest Tartan Plaid

I recently bought an iPhone 4. 
I gave in to peer pressure and bought my first smart phone. 
So far, I like it. 
A lot.

Since I paid more for this phone than any other phone in my mobile phone owning history, I was incredibly paranoid about dropping it and having the screen shatter. I feel like this was a valid concern. So I looked long and hard for a case even before I bought the phone. 

After readings tons of reviews, going to stores to touch and test drive different cases, I decided on Speck. This snazzy, black and grey plaid case from Speck Products is not only visually appealing, but it's a tough, little case. How do I know? Well I've dropped it at least a dozen times in the past 5 months and my iPhone and screen are still fine. Phew!

This particular style is about $10 through Amazon. If you want to check out some of the other fun colors and designs in this same case, check out Speck's site. The newer designs are about $29.95. 

This is a thin, durable, stylish iPhone case. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
