Neoprene: we like to call it, "the material made for nerds". We roundup some of our favorite neoprene gear just for you.

First, we dressed up our software analyst, Davis Janowski, in a Billabong Solution Platinum wetsuit ($399)—decked out with a Billabong Soundwave waterproof MP3 player and earbuds—and made him parade around the office. PCMag Radio host, Robyn Peterson, tried covering up Davis's "lower region" with a laptop. I don't know whether he was embarassed, or embarassed for Davis! However, I think Davis enjoyed wearing the wetsuit all too much.

We would have told him to try out the wetsuit and Soundwave player while he was away on vacation in California, but the company didn't want us to get the suit wet. So for now, it's just for show. But, we can test the Billabong Soundwave waterproof MP3 player, and that's just what Davis is going to do. Expect a review of it soon on Gearlog.

Not going surfing anytime soon? Then check out Built NY's new Electric Line of Laptop Sleeves and Electric Pockets. I had the chance to try out these funky cases.

The Laptop Sleeves are made of neoprene and are lined with a soft fleece to protect your laptop from scratches when you throw it in your bag or backpack. I really like these sleeves because they're both durable and stylish. Each sleeve contains a Shark Gill Grips on the sides to easily grip the sleeves. I was sent a 15-inch sized sleeve to fit my Sony VAIO PCG-682L, but you can also get them in 12- or 17-inches. Choose from navy blue, black, or stripes.

The Laptop Sleeves sell for $29.99 to $39.99, depending on size/color.

The Electric Pockets allow you to store away your digital camera, BlackBerry, MP3 player, or other portable device in a safe place. What I thought was neat about these pockets is that you can attach them just like a luggage tag to your belt or bag via the hook. However, it can be a bit awkard to get the hook to wrap around things. While it was easy to attach it to my backpack's strap, it was difficult to get it around my belt buckle. I'd probably find a better use for the sleeves than these pockets. The pockets are also available in navy blue, black, and stripes in three different sizes.

The Electric Pockets sell for $17.99 to $22.99, depending on size/color.
