Photos: Case-Mate displays colorful and stylish Spring 2012 collection at CES

Of all the iPhone case booths we saw on the CES show floor, Case-Mate‘s was by far our favorite for females looking for stylish and fun cases. The company has done a great job offering many different types of cases in fun and fashionable colors and textures, more so than any other booth we visited. They didn’t have as much in the way of cases for the guys in your life, with the exception of the great new Marvel series, but in our experience it’s the women who like to change up their cases the most anyway.

We like that Case-Mate has rugged tough cases that come in colors other than the typical outdoorsy orange and green, offering the Phantom and Tank cases in more female-friendly colors like teal and purple. From there, the company showed off everything from minimalistic cases in fun and sophisticated solid colors, to artist series printed cases, to runway-inspired accessories and clutches in luxe fabrics and trendy color combinations. They even have a new Glam case that is bedazzled and manages to not look like it was ripped off of a teenager at the mall.

The Case-Mate representative we spoke to emphasized that the case you choose says a lot about your personality, and we tend to agree. Whether you like to keep things simple or want to make a bold fashion statement, we’re happy to see such a wide variety of great cases available that can spice things up and display your sense of style.

Luckily, there is a great sale at Crutchfield right now on various cameras and camera kits, and you can actually grab yourself some excellent cameras, whether you're just starting out or want to upgrade to the next level. To that end, we've picked some of our favorite deals below, although it's well worth checking out the full Crutchfield sale that's happenning now.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's camera sale
If you're just starting out with photography and don't want to spend the thousands of dollars you do for the slightly better cameras that you'll find in the mid-range, the Canon EOS R100 is an excellent option, and this kit includes a lens as well. It has a 24.1-megapixel sensor for high-quality photography, a 3-inch screen so you can get a better sense of what you're filming, and, of course, the RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 lens that the kit comes with. It can also connect with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all of that comes packaged at , which is $100 off the usual $599 price tag.
