Just like purses or shoes, neutral colours will match almost any outfit. While a basic leather case may seem like no fun at all, there are many ways to splash some colour into the design. Try to look for a brown leather or print that features black as a secondary colour. These sophisticated styles will not only command attention but will not clash with the colours of your outfit. For a more exciting look, try a basic brown or tan design with a few small but very colourful shapes.

Try purchasing a black or brown silicone case and adding a few coloured stickers or easily removable rhinestones. Self-sticking embroidery patches can also be placed on the silicone and removed as trends change. One of the trendiest colour combinations is chocolate brown and bright blue. Both colours are easily matched in most attire and the blue stands out nicely among the neutral background. Getting creative and crafty with a basic case is actually trending right now and is a great way to show off your eye for design.

Another option is to simply buy multiple cases or fabric carriers that be switched out. Take a look at your wardrobe and note what the majority of the colours that you were are. Then, choose cases that show off the main colours that you find. For example, most women will find that they wear a lot of pinks, blues, browns, and blacks. If this is the case, try picking out patterns or designs such as: pink and purple hearts, a blue tie-dye or quilted pattern, forest or realistic trees, and black neon stripe pattern. Switching the silicone or metallic cases each day can be cumbersome, so women choosing this method may want to use fabric cases that slide gently over the phone and use a neutral or clear coloured case over the actual iPhone.

Matching your outfit to your iPhone case may seem like a difficult task. By remembering to choose neutral coloured cases or switching out multiple cases, you can ensure that you always match. Treat the iPhone case like you would any other accessory, such as a purse or jewelry, and you will quickly discover that each case can match in a fun and creative way.

If you’re already scanning the racks of your favourite boutique for sexy summer fashions, don’t forget about your best e-friend. No self-respecting diva would ever let their tweeting partner-in-crime be seen in last-year’s outfit or, even worse, in stark plastic nakedness.

Pimping your cute little Netbook (everything from new netbook sleeves, to using regular printers so you can print your own design) could raise this mobile device from a geeky sidekick to a trendsetting bling-book.

Choose from these hot, Netbook fashions for Summer 2011 to make sure you’re both the center of attention:

The Sky is the Limit

Divas who aren’t on a budget may be able to use charms to convince UFO Hayashi, a famous Japanese artist who specializes in electronic imagery, to decorate a favourite electronic toy.

His Netbook work of art featured delicate floral patterns in the style of “kyo-yu-zen,” a traditional Japanese Zen painting technique. The masterpiece sold on eBay for $3,000.

Form-Fitting Skins

If your inner diva craves form-fitting clothing, dress your Netbook to match with a stylish new skin. These thin coatings cling right to the plastic case of your electronic device to instantly give it a whole new personality.

The price is so affordable that you can supply your mini-machine with an entire wardrobe. Retailers offer a multitude of designs to fit many different tastes, or, you can easily design your own for a one-of-a-kind look with an ink printer.

If you’re handy with a camera, or you’re in love with your own headshot, skin makers can easily convert any photo into a durable Netbook sheath. This summer, why not skin your Netbook in a tropical scene? You could even use a picture of yourself in your favourite little bikini if you dare.

For a Little More Coverage

Of course, some divas appreciate a little more coverage. If you’d like a little more protection for your Netbook, take a look at the shells made by Hard Candy. These shiny plastic cases come in basic black, stylish silver, tranquil blue and hot pink.

In addition to providing a new look to your electronic device, the shell protects it from scrapes and scratches. Simply snap it on, and you’ll both be ready for a day of shopping, or a night out at the club.

Don’t Shoot the Messenger

The traditional computer bag offers space for every accessory, in addition to your phone and Netbook. The only problem is that it’s distinctly un-diva-ish.

The Case Logic Urban Messenger Pak is a welcome alternative; it not only looks stylish, but no one would ever guess it was designed for anything as nerdy as a computer.

It’s a Pinder

Pinder, the premier maker of designer laptop bags, makes diva-worthy 12-inch totes for Netbooks. The water-resistant material and wide range of colour choices make this Netbook bag both fashionable and practical.

A DigitTrade Summer

Although this Netbook sleeve designer offers a multitude of attractive patterns, “Summer” is especially appropriate for the warm-weather months. Made from a sunny yellow neoprene material, this two-toned pattern features the silhouette of a fluttering butterfly as it approaches wildflowers.

Of course, this company also offers more dramatic models including the Oriental-inspired Sakura, the exotic Zebra, and the overly-caffeinated Mocha. If you’re daring enough to choose the shocking “Love Hurts” bag, you’ll certainly earn a few second glances.

Don’t Overlook Target

Although most of these bags are affordable enough for any diva on a budget, no one looking for low-priced style should overlook Target. This upscale discount store sells totes and shells to fit the Netbook and most other electronic devices.

One favourite bag offered by Target is the funky Three Chic Flower Netbook sleeve. This design features a stark black background with purple flowers reminiscent of those old Spiro graph designs.

Hippy Chic and Eco-Friendly

If you aren’t satisfied with any of the off-the-rack Netbook cases or you’re committed to the green movement (and, what diva doesn’t follow the latest trends?), make your own out of new or recycled materials. If you can sew, your little Netbook will be cuter than ever in no time.

Doesn’t Your Netbook Deserve a Home of its Own?

No diva wants to lug this one around all day, but it’s a great choice for protecting your Netbook while it’s at home and not in use. The contemporary style of the Belkin Laptop Hideaway looks perfect with any home decor scheme, and provides a safe, convenient place to tuck away the laptop, power adapter, and any other peripheral equipment.

In fact, you can even store a manual, or fashion magazine or two in there, as well. From expensive designer fashions to do-it-yourself styles, your Netbook will look better than ever this summer. How do you plan on dressing up your favourite electronic accessory?
