To bling or not to bling. That is the question. Of course, there is such a wide range of cell phone accessory bling available now, you can go from tacky to tasteful by merely changing cases.

The CTIA 2008 cellular phone conference was proof that accessory manufacturers have suddenly realized there are at least as many women as men with mobile phones. And by some stroke of luck, they realized that women are far more likely to buy and own multiple cases for those phones than men. They are, after all, accessories – and accessorizing is something at which we women have excelled for generations. I have captured two shining examples in video that take you from the refined to the "so over the top I am at a loss for words."

My first video is from Krusell, our old friends with the multidapt system and fine leather cases. The first case I ever purchased for my Treo 270 was a Krusell. This Swedish case company has now divided into six distinct product lines, most of which will work with its hallmark multidapt system. The lines are mostly color coded, and have been defined as:

• Glamorous (mostly men's accessories here) – Grand Kru
• Divine – Purple Label
• Business – Blue Label
• Working Hard – Red Label
• Trendy – Orange Label
• Sporty – Green Label

Needless to say, it was the Orange and Purple labels that caught my attention. I won't say more here, just watch the video and see for yourself. If you want a closer look, check out Krusell's site.

Now on to blingier things. While Krusell is a company we've known and loved for years, iLuv is a relative newcomer. New York based, they have quite a selection of great looking Bluetooth devices in all colors, shapes, and sizes. But it was the wired headsets and matching cell phone cases that really knocked me off my feet.

Watch for yourself and please let me know your thoughts. If you want to look more closely, you can see products and prices at iLuv's website.
