SugarRobot’s Esty store has all sorts of cupcake covers, from fancy little butterflies (edible!) to robots (awesome!) to the Pac-Man covers shown above. For ten bucks, you can cover a dozen cupcakes… but will you claim the work as your own? Tsk, tsk.

Using the covers sounds ridiculously easy: make your cupcakes, cover ‘em with a tiny bit of frosting (think of it as delicious glue), and then apply the covers. It’s a recipe for instant cupcake success, and maybe if we make a big enough deal out of these, SugarRobot will roll out (and cut out) even more fondant designs.

As you can see each headphone sock cover has an extra compartment, perfect for placing spare coins, or even an extra pair of earphones. Hell an iPod shuffle would fit in there. Stylish and functional. Sold yet? That’ll be € 475.00 please.

Yes, that’s no typo: almost $700 (USD) for a pair of leather coin purse/earmuff thingies. High quality leather coin purse/earmuff thingies, but still. Actually if you look at the product page, you’ll see… nothing. No relevant information aside from the designers’ names. Which means that there’s a good chance that the Sony headphones are included with the purchase, as absurd as that sounds. Or not. I’m not familiar with the value system of rich people. Is $700 to them like $100 is to me?

Lest you accuse me of ignoring the needs of a minority, moneyed peoples should tell their servants to hit up colette and snag the leather covers. Again it’s €475.00 ($693), VAT included. Thank goodness.

I doubt it was that simple. At least, I’m sure I couldn’t pull it off. But if you’re hoping for more handy tips at the source, give it up; this nifty little DIY DS cover is the only thing to be found on a new deviantART account, and there’s a lack of detail about the process. As in, there’s none. Feel free to imagine aliens swooped in and drew up the whole project. That’s what I’m going with.

On a serious note, vector art could lead to all sorts of interesting DS designs. Would love to see if anyone had tried something similar!

Well, that’ll sure get your attention when  you’re just flipping past game covers at the store.

Renegade Kid was very free with video and screen shots from the first title, but they have been largely quiet on the sequel thus far. A release date in February was just announced, however, so I’m sure more information will pop up later this year. For now, that cover is enough. If you need me, I’ll be huddling under the covers with all the lights on.

The song, “Kids” by MGMT, has been a favorite for people using offbeat methods to play music, so it’s little wonder it sounds pretty good in this cover version. Thank goodness for that ocarina app.

Now we’ve just got to get someone to test “Freebird” with iPhone apps so we all have something to yell at iPhone concerts.

The covers have a swirly ridged surface which makes it anti-slip. They have a list of colors that I could share with you, but some of them are silly names (”cloudy” for “gray”? seriously?) Ergo, I will tell you in my own words that the colors included in this combo 10-pack are light pink, yellow, orange, kelly green, goldenrod, royal blue, white, black, light gray, and dark gray.

The covers are made of 100% silicone. They’re tailor-made for the Apple iPhone 3G. The case has openings for the LCD screen, headset, dock connector.

Of course, merely having an iPhone 3G makes you cooler than most people. But being able to match it to your outfit each day? You just got bumped up from “cool” to “straight pimpin’.” You can buy the 10-pack for $69.90 here.

XCM’s Smart Face Plate snaps onto the top of your PS3, giving it a new facade without major surgery. Just remove a couple of screws from the top of your PS3, slide off the old cover, and slide on the new one. In less than a minute, your console will have a whole new look.

While I prefer the mirrored chrome look shown in the photo, the plate also comes in white, yellow, green and (for some odd reason) black finishes. You can find the Smart Face Plate over at Extreme-Mods for just under $20.

Thompson’s $14.95 Gelaskins Steampunk vinyl skin features an alernative take on the high-tech inner-workings of your schmancy new iPod, and replaces them with gears, springs and levers.

The way my old 3G iPod used to act up all the time, I’m actually wondering if that’s what it really did look like on the inside. Actually, I think mine was powered by a tiny hamster in a wheel.

Whether you’re going for a jungle theme or fifties kitsch, they’ll definitely get looks when you have your friends over. Before you even ask, no actual animals were harmed in the making of these fuzzy faux fur accessories.

Available from Totalconsole for $18 to $19 respectively, the Talismoon Evolve360 fur faceplates come in cow and leopard prints (what, no lions, tigers or bears? oh my!) They could have at least included a liger in the menagerie. There’s even a matching replacement cover ($17 to $18 each) for your 360 controller if you want to go all out with the animal theme.

Available in a variety of wood veneer and textile finishes, iamhuman’s laptop covers trump cheap vinyl skins, giving the exterior of your computer some real texture and depth. Each cover is backed with special 3M sticky stuff which is repositionable, and won’t damage the underlying surface.

They range in price from $30 to $45, and are available for most iBook, PowerBook and MacBook systems.

TV2ART’s Lightascope attaches to the front of your flat panel television and transforms moving images into a work of abstract modern art. The Lightascope hooks onto your screen using a special non-adhesive “nanotechnology micro-suction” tape (that sure sounds fancy!) so it won’t damage your display. The artworks are even designed to provide visual interest when when your TV is turned off.

Lightascope panels come in a variety of different patterns and in 32-inch ($99), 42-inch ($149) and 50-inch ($199) sizes. Each one comes with a special protective artist’s portfolio case for storage when not attached to the front of your set.

It sure beats having to watch an episode of Two and a Half Men or Gilmore Girls.
