• My favorite feature: The headset cord is almost tangle-free. Sure, it had the tendency like all cords to twist and turn in my purse – but the cord is such that it barely becomes tangled and it is easy to untangle. (My previous Sony headphones become so tangled that the cord broke inside).
• What I like about it: Great sound for the price. Comfortable to wear – especially with the three sizes included of earbud gel tips. The headset is set up so that no connector is needed to connect to the iPhone (I have to use a 2-inch long extender with my iPhone so I can use my normal red and black v-moda headphones). Headset includes a one-touch button on the cord so that while listening to music that fades out and you can answer the call – after the call the music fades back in).

• What I don’t like about it: The headphones’ two-year limited warranty is short compared to the lifetime warranty offered with other headphones (but those usually start at $70). The sound quality could be better – but hey, these are only $29.99.

Irvine-based iLounge.com lets everyone know that DLO just launched a new OpenFM application.

This is an online tool people can use to search for the clearest FM station in their area by city and state or zip code. And, it’ll work with iPhones’ web browsers to sweeten the deal.

iLounge notes that the company also offers a standard web-based version of the application (beyond the iPhone version) and plans to releases widgets for Macs and gadgets for PCs in the coming weeks.

Hey everyone, iGirl here. Sorry for my short absence…I’ve been out of commission lately as I recover from getting all four wisdom teeth pulled…ugh.

And…I’m back just in time to fit in a style scoop for summer. Bikini cases for the iPhone.

Incipio, the Yorba Linda-based online store, says that the “sexy case only covers the bare essentials.”

I’m not sure if this would be the right case for me. Yes, I love that it’s called a bikini and comes in 12 colors (including blueberry as pictured here) and it allows users to actually use the phone while in the case. But, the case (much like a bikini) only covers the bare essentials….offering not as much protection as other cases (much like one-piece swim suits).

But, it’s worth mentioning that the company has a wide-range of iPhone cases….most of which do cover more than the bikini. My favorites are the hipster and the dermashot. I like those, personally, because I always look for cases that offer very good protection, yet I can use the phone while in the case.

But, seriously, I want to know who dreams up these funky names….I love ‘em!
