Haul: New home(s) for my phone

By icyabstract · March 30, 2011 · 10 Comments ·

Not a makeup related post but I wanted to share some new 'homes' for my iPhone that I had gotten recently.

I purchased these while side-tracking or rather 'taking a break' while at work but I do like them so it's not an impulse 'I'm so stressed at work so I'll shop' buy. I even joked with a colleague saying I should get more phone covers and change them daily to match my attire. Though that would just be extreme...

I got my covers from Gmarket (Singapore) and never bothered to scout around local phone stores so I'm not sure if these can be purchased physically and how much for. There are tons of sellers on Gmarket carrying these so browse around after searching 'iPhone 4 cover'.

I got everything from 2 sellers but Gmarket collated everything from payment to package.

The stuff that I got:

  • ''wood' case that has a rubbery texture, I like that because it gives it some friction. Perfect for someone with butter fingers, like me.
  • silicon green glow in the dark case. I need not explain this. I love glow in the dark things, this was a must get. third party USB cable. I was a little iffy on getting this for some reason but I've been using it at work so far and no issues have raised, it charges ny phone perfectly fine :)

 

As a freebie I got this purple flip case.

It's got a cute weave design but I doubt I would use it as I always found that flipping thing a hassle. I passed this on to a friend who liked how cute and purse-like it looked when enclosed.

As of now, my phone is currently residing in the 'wood' case. If I feel like it, I might switch over to my older cases or the Glow in the Dark one.


Excuse blah nails.

Okay, end of my random post. I find there is some sort of novelty in changing your phone cover. It's almost like getting a new phone or dressing your phone up, it's just an odd satisfying feeling.

Do you normally like to shop for mobile covers for your phones?

 

Thanks for reading!

Review: LG Optimus One!

By icyabstract · October 27, 2010 · 69 Comments ·

As mentioned earlier, here is the review of the LG Optimus one! I had been sponsored this phone as part of the LG Life's Good Ambassador Challenge I am taking part in and this post marks the start of the 7 week long event!

Yes, it's 7 weeks long, but I shan't go into too much detail about the Challenge here, will update on that later on.

I did a video review about the phone it would be easier to showcase it that way and it sure beats me rambling on about it with words. The video is a little long at 14 minutes, but I have tried cutting it down loads already (as always).

Eventually the unboxing scene did not make it in the final cut but I might compile some of the outtakes and cut scenes into one unofficial video at a later date, but right now do check the review out!

Here are some photos of the box contents, phone etc.


Contents of the box.

Now for some shots of the phone.

From afar the phone's casing looks like a pure black shade but if you look super closely, you will see some very fine silver specks. It's hardly noticeable though.

And a rough anatomy of the phone.

One content I had to cut out from the review video was where I mentioned the backing of this phone is actually a little dificult to remove. In a way it's tight and sturdy so you don't have to worry about it falling out when you drop it, but if your nails are painted or if you have super short nails, it might be a little tougher?

But this is how it opens

 

Not sure how my very first tech/digital review went but I sure hope this was helpful and insightful! As mentioned in this video, I probably didn't cover every aspect of the phone as there is loads to say. Follow me through my weekly updates with this campaign and within some posts I would talk more/highlight certain features etc!

I would need all your help and support with this LG voting thing. I'll be posting information about it but if you can work your way around, you can start voting already! (: If you're not sure how it works you can start by liking the LG Mobile Asia page and wait for my follow-up post! Much much thanks in advance (:

Thank you all for reading/watching!
