Best Buy, Designers Team for Exclusive Gadget Cases


Attention, Fashionistas. If your smartphone, tablet, or laptop could use a makeover, Best Buy might have just the thing.


The big box retailer on Wednesday announced it has teamed up with well-known designers Nanette Lepore, Anna Sui, and Isaac Mizrahi New York on exclusive new lines of colorful and stylish tech accessories. The fashionable tech coverings are available for pre-order on Best Buy's website now and will be hitting stores Sunday, Oct. 5.


You'll find a myriad of polka-dotted, striped, floral, and sparkly cases for the iPhone 5 and 5s, Samsung Galaxy S5, iPad mini, iPad Air, as well as some pretty laptop sleeves for 13-inch notebooks. Best Buy said it will have cases for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus from each designer beginning in mid-October.


All the new tech accessories are priced at less than $50. The smartphone cases will set you back $29.99, while the tablet cases range from $34.99 to $39.99, and the laptop cases are all priced at $39.99.


When you purchase one of these pretty accessories, you'll also give back. Anna Sui and Nanette Lepore are donating their proceeds of the sales to the nonprofit Council of Fashion Designers of America, which supports professional development and scholarships within the fashion industry.


This is not Best Buy's first high-fashion collaboration. The company earlier this month exclusively launched a new line of Kate Spade accessories designed 'for women who want their devices to express their very personal fashion sensibilities.'
