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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

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

      I saw a Tardis one somewhere else, that'd be brilliant :)

    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!

      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 :)

    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 :)

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.
