Default Cases are for geeks

http://www.gustto.com

Many people wear their Pocket PCs naked, as they find many of the current cases "geek material". Thanks to a Mobigeeks article on Gustto, we now know this is not necessarily so.



From the pictures alone you get a pretty good idea on the idea behind the Gustto cases, and the text clarifies it more. In short: Gustto creates case fashion. The prices of the cases are also in the fashion range, but if you can afford this, you can carry nothing but a Pocket PC and still look dressed. Well... you know what I mean.

Someone is going to have to remove that picture. I tried reading what this post was about and cannot get past the word "naked." :crazyeyes: I am still not sure I am at the right site. I remember I was looking for.... something..... :?

....naked....

Man talk about a site that should have their "License to Macromedia Flash" revoked.

It remined me of a Saturday Night Live Sketch with fashionible people waving their hands in front of my face.

Neat idea, but man, what an unfriendly site! And it's ironic that you wouldn't be able to view it on the PPC they are hawking cases for.

One of these fine days I'm going to sew a custom "bandolier" type holder for my PPC, cell phone, keys and credit card/ID. After all, that's all I really need.

Lol, agreed... I about doubled over in my chair just watching the intro alone. "A new dimension of beauty" (in the background) "beauty" :lol: They should've hired a geek and not an art student to design their site apparently.

LOL. No need to show the models face. Just the case and her chest and will be fine. :P :? Sex sells...I guess. One thing about that flash presentation. It mentions sensuality about these cases. I just about fell out of my chair laughing. The Whitney cases, then, must be a organismic experience. So thin. So light. So versatile. *Homer Simpson voice* Oh baby. :wink:
I'm surprised that Comdex hasn't turned into a flesh factory similar to most Japanese trade shows for video games. Then again. I've never been to Comdex. 8O

Well the picture doesn't make the case out to be very flattering. First of all, the case looks so heavy that the model is hunched over from the weight. It also doesn't look very comfortable from the look of anguish from the model's face (well, half face of her face anyway...)

And is that part of the case strap wrapped around her neck?!?!?
