Fi-Hi Speaker Bags: Boombox Backpack Made Real
Remember we laughed at the concept Reppo2 boombox backpack, and its ability to aurally assault those you walk past with your choice of tunes? Well, yes: something similar is now real, courtesy of these Fi-Hi novelty bags with built-in speakers and amp. What's there to say? Well, we don't know how powerful the audio system is, we don't know if they're weatherproof (though we'd hope so.) But we do know you can connect up your MP3 player, that they're in a wide range of different sizes and styles, some looking very much like the Reppo2, and that they're fascinatingly nasty. No word on pricing or availability, but expect to hear one soon. [Aving]

Coax Japanese People to Play Golf With Star Wars Golf Gear
When's the last time you saw a Japanese person play golf? Perhaps with these Star Wars themed golf bags and cozies, they'll be more inclined to put down their Wii Golf and do some Real Golf. Or perhaps not, since golf is the most boring sport we can imagine. You know what would spice up golf? Golf with katanas. Or lightsabers. [Star Wars]

If you like pictures of stuff that look way more awesome than they are actually are, feast your eyes on Jerome Olivet's new iPod shoulder bag, with the narcissistic title of Jeromeolivet 32. You could probably take iPod out of the product description and have a fully-fledged, regular shoulder bag, but as Olivet has included the ubiquitous noun and has a kick-ass, porn star esque nomenclature for his person, we'll give his new wonder, constructed from fabric and PVC, some well-deserved attention.

This multi-purpose charger bag seems like a solution in search of a problem. Never in our experience have we had to carry around only chargers in a bag. In addition, we haven't had any trouble keeping chargers separate with just a little bit of cord wrapping beforehand, making the six separate compartments a little iffy as well. But if you're doing a bit of traveling and want to carry around a semi-fashionable charger bag, well, here ya go. Honestly, we recommend the Chargepod if you're going to charge six things at once.

Got an anniversary coming up? Get your lady this Ghetto Blaster bag and watch as her nostrils flare, her eyes get really really big, and then beady—then duck as she makes a swing at you, and dodge as that knee comes flying up.

Juice Bag Now Available for Us Chicks
Unless, of course, you are a chick that likes backpacks, which I think are too manly by half, then you might be interested in this, a Juice Bag for Lay-deez. It's a large tote which, apart from being capacious enough for your towel, three bikinis, bonkbuster book and SPF lotion, can recharge your phone, iPod or camera thanks to its solar panels. It's pricey though, as it will burn a $249 hole in your lady-purse. More »

Crumpler's Beer For Bags Swap Starts June 9
Every year Crumpler barters its laptop, photo and messenger bags in exchange for beer. The tradition started five years ago in Australia, and this is the second time the event is being held in NYC. Bring in a case of Coopers and four Fosters Oil Cans and walk out with a Barney Rustle Messenger bag. Two cases of Asahi and a packet of ramen noodles fetches a Moderate Embarrassment laptop satchel. To figure out the exchange rate you'll need to stop by a store to pick up the handy-dandy Beer for Bags Wheel (larger version after the jump) or just order one from the website. All of the combinations come out to a discount of around 30 percent. At the end of the week everyone heads back to the store to drink the assorted brews—belch!—there were over 1,000 cases of beer on hand last year. More »

Hands-On: Lifepop Mini '80s Boombox
This little vinyl boombox gets pretty loud considering the 9v powerpack and the quarter-sized speakers. Another gem found in the WTF section of CTIA. The kit comes with a minijack adapter, a keychain, and the pouch itself can hold a cellphone or Shuffle, but controlling the device while inside would prove to be challenging. $25. More »

Golla Bags Really Are for the Ladies
After figuring out (through our super scientific poll) that the Philips 598 isn't really for ladies, we've found something that is. These Golla Bags. Yes ladies, you can stick your cellphone, camera, or PDA inside and strut around anywhere like there's music playing and you own the place. We think men would like this as well, but maybe we're just distracted by something. More »
