Everyone has a tech-savvy friend. You know, the one who always has the newest gadget. Sometimes, these are the same friends that let the latest in fashion slip right past them. Lucky for them, they've got you and top © Diane von Furstenberg, Graphic Image, Rebecca Minkoffdesigners to help them ad swagger to their techie swag. Here are some of our favorite stylish cases, that you can snag for your techalicious BFF.

Diane von Furstenberg is known for her eclectic prints, lovely silhouettes, and practicality. Luckily for us, this style transitioned with the Mariela Abstract Print PVC Laptop Case. We’re loving the Autumn print with it’s sleek black and white look, but also have a soft spot for the Arabesque print, with a cream backdrop to an abstract fuchsia and orange detail. The simplicity of this laptop case comes with its zipper top, and practicality comes with its outside and inside zip pockets – a perfect spot for storage! Oh, and don’t worry about durability, this case is made out of a tough PVC.

Next up, we bring you an option for your iPad. While we have certainly given you ideas months ago with the designer-iPad-case-craze, here is a more budget friendly and personalized option. The Personalized Case by Graphic Image is a simplistic leather sleeve form-fitted for your iPad. We love the metallic options and are having a hard time choosing between the silver or white gold! Our favorite part? The ability to add embossed initials to the front of this sleeve.

Our last pick is for the techy bookworm. The Kindle Snake-Embossed Leather Sleeve by Rebecca Minkoff is the perfect example of geeky-chic. It’s zip-around closure adds security, while still looking luxurious, thanks to their use of high-quality hardware. An inside slot is perfect for storage, and we love the gold tone studs over the purple or black snakeskin-esque leather.
