The first thought I had when I saw a picture of the iSkin Vibes and Vibes FX cases is that these are loud cases for the total attention lover. People will be asking you what you did with your phone. They are shiny, flashy, and come in the most attention grabbing colors. Just look at [...]

When I saw this theme in the store, I immediately hopped on it to give it a try. I love Rocker Chic (made by Cocky Culture) because of it’s rock and roll design with edgy accents. Theme looks awesome on my Bold and runs extremely smooth. There are other ‘edgy’ themes from this designer in [...]

Matt let me know that AT&T has cut the prices on their Bolds and 8900’s to $199.99 and $149.99… This has done nothing for the retail price in case you were hoping to upgrade sans contract but its a nice price break.

I just love how some theme designers are thinking out-of-the-box these days. The guys at idberry are definitely at the helm of unique theme designs, at least IMO. One of their recent themes, PuzzleBerry is a mix of artsy style and colorful images…which incidentally can be your own. Let me explain…
On the home screen, you [...]

MBCustomz sent me an email about their latest theme design called WarCraft. Now, yours truly doesn’t know much about these kinds of games but from the sounds of it, it seems to be similar to Dungeons & Dragons which is a bit more from my era.

Jake over at JLDesigns may be new to officially selling his themes but his craftmanship is anything but amateur. I recently tested his Pretty in Pink theme (of course) which is currently only for the Bold and I’m pretty impressed. While this theme is simplistic in style it is very clean and moves through screens [...]
