Hot on the Highstreet Week 157

Instantgram is a personalised printing service that turns your Instagram images into pretty little magnets. Pictures are uploaded online and the cute magnets are delivered straight to the door. Each Instantgram Magnet is 5cm x 5cm / 1.97in X 1.97in and magnets come in sets of 9 for just $17 (£11 approx).Log on to http://instantgram.me/en/magnets to access your Instagram library of photos.

I initially had some problems with the Instantgram website which had trouble reloading my Instagram account images, but eventually my large album of brightly coloured pictures arrived on the computer to choose from. By far the most difficult part of the process is trying to restrict yourself to just 9. I spent hours scrolling through screen-after-screen of images and managed to get down to shortlist of my top 12, finally whittling it down to my final 9. Click through an easy checkout system, fill out your address, and you are done.

With so many of our memories on a screen or hard-drive, Instantgram is a lovely way to make your memories materialise. Instagram is by far the most popular of all the social media image platforms, so I’m sure kids and adults alike will jump at this chance to make their beloved Instagram edits more permanent.

The magnets arrived promptly within a week, despite travelling all the way from Turkey. They are a bit flimsy and homemade looking but for just $17 for 9 these Instantgram magnets are the perfect momento to keep on your fridge.

Hot on the Highstreet Week 135

I was very excited when I was asked to review the new ‘idealcases.com‘ brand. This company offer you the chance to create your very own customised iPhone, Blackberry, Samsung HTC, Kindle and iPad cases.

As the proud new owner of an iPhone I saw this as the perfect opportunity to protect and decorate my new gadget. I was instantly amazed by the endless possibilities and options at Ideal Cases, they really have thought of everything. The website is very easy to use: efficiently organised and quick to understand. After selecting your device, you are asked to choose a template, grid or freestyle option. You will then be able to add your photos, text, add clip art and your own doodles. I am still deliberating over the final draft of my case… the choice is infinite which is leading me to become painfully indecisive.

Designing my cover, I soon decided upon the grid layout as one is given some structure to work within and can then slot in one’s chosen photos easily. Each image can be modified, like an Instragram photo, so bright and fun colours are easy to achieve. The iPhone cover offers high scratch protection on the back and medium drop protection, but by the time I’d finished browsing the website I’d forgotten about the practicalities of the case and was just thinking about the most fabulous design.

This DIY design ensures your phone is totally unique and at just £12.49 it is excellent value. The whole world seems to own an iPhone but no-one can create the same ideal case cover as you.
