Have sensitive skin? Then hook up one of these UV bead cellphone charms to your phone and always be aware of how much UV light you're getting. The beads start out white, but change as they suck in the radiation.

You can buy different amounts of beads depending on your needs—but get enough and you can have a Japanese Mardis Gras anywhere. Politely asking women to take off their tops is how they do it. – Jason Chen

Whether you spell it Bulgari or Bvlgari, you have to admire the luxury designer's entrance into a market previously dominated by cheapo Japanese models. This strap is made of "supple black calf leather" and palladium, which means $3.99 this strap is not.

The other feature, if cellphone straps could have features, is that the strap detaches and separates into a pendant and that other part. The non-pendant part. We'll stick to poop. – Jason Chen
