When is a mix tape not a mix tape?

Look, Mom, I only went and got my first iPhone.  In defense of my fiscal responsibility, I was due for an upgrade and my contract only went up a smidge

Faux cassette tape iPhone cover, I see your dorkiness and raise you one handwritten mix tape label.  I win all the dorks.

Lego iPhone cover, I forgive the fact I'm going to have to slice your sticky-outey bit by the camera because you protect my camera from all the detritus in my pockets and bag.  I do like yellow, but not in the corner of every picture.

Look, I took a picture of my fabric reflected in the screen totally not by accident and now it's a business expense.

So, iPhonettes and iPhoners:  What apps can't you live with out and why? Which podcasts make you want to work all the live long day?  How can I dress it up even more dorky?

Oh, and if you want to add me to your Instagram pals, I am 'kitschycoo'.  I can't promise I will post anything interesting but if you're here you most probably know that.

  1. Instagram is my obsession. When I lost/someone stole my last iphone, I missed that the most.

    I also use collage apps, pinterest and the usuals..FB, twitter, blogger.

    Actually I'm not a massive app geek.

  3. I agree, I love Instagram! I also love the NPR podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour - it's just fun! Oh, also the Starbucks app - it's convenient, sometimes a little too convenient!

  4. ArtRage for sketching, Snapseed and Afterglow for playing with photos, Yelp for finding places to eat, Voxer for talking to A on the other side of the world for freeee-- different from Skype, more like the talking version of texts. Well, texts too. Both. Fab.

    1. Aw, that's rubbish it's not free access. My contract is unlimited internet so I'm hoping / assuming it's included.

  6. The mix tape is brilliant, that had me fooled when I first saw it.

  7. More dorky might be here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/114672867/apple-iphone-5-hard-cover-case-tardis-dr?ref=sr_gallery_33&ga_search_query=dr.+who+iphone+5+case&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_ref=auto1&ga_search_type=all
    I'm considering getting one for my husband for Christmas. :) Love the mix-tape, though.

  8. Love the mix tape cover - saw them in OT and thought about getting one! Apps: definitely instagram, and all the toca boca apps (supposed to be for kids but I am slightly obsessed with the Toca Boca Tailor App), if you need to get a bit Zen then the Mindfulness App is really good. Podcasts - I like Richard Herring's Leicester Square Podcast, Robin Ince and Josie Long's Utter Shambles, I like The Bugle and Alec Baldwin's Here's the Thing, and then there's all the R4 stuff, and Little Atoms is geekily cool. Okay - I think I listen to too many podcasts, this may be why I am insomniac!

    1. We have all the Toca's on the iPad, Maia loves them! Thanks for all the podcasts :)

    2. New one out today! Toca Tailor Fairy Tales!

    3. I'm surprised Maia went to school today, she was so excited about Toca Tailor Fairy Tales coming out. And now she has forgotten because of the My Little Pony app :)

  9. Instagram, it takes sharing to a whole new level. Welcome the pictures of sewing, dinners and cats into your life and it will be vastly improved like mine :)

  10. Love the yellow lego cover. I think Pete and I are the only people in the Western world to have resisted the iphone, and even he has a blackberry. Just me then...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Nope Liz, me too. All I have is a samsung that looks like a Blackberry and I got it because it's only £7.50 a month, not because it looks like a Blackberry :) I wouldn't know an app if it bit me on the bum, sorry.

  12. I pretty much use hootsuite, facebook, instagram. picfx, the weather channel, pic frame, nike training, and yelp. I have a billion other apps but they just sit there.

  13. Great covers. Love your mixed tape one! I pretty much only use IG. It's an addiction. Other apps that support that habit: Pudding Camera, I wish I had an iphone (only have an android) so I could have the afterglow app, pic collage (?something like that) pix fx and label maker are nice but I've only used them once or twice.
