I have a Verizon phone. It resides in my jacket most of the time. Sometimes, when I'm feeling crazy, I'll stick it in my back pants pocket, or maybe even in the front pocket. Crazy, right?

Maybe you're not like me. Perhaps you possess that indefinable quality called "class." Maybe you're the sort of person whose ears perk up at the sound of names like "Chloe Dao" and "Dooney & Burke." I have never heard of either; I had to Google them.

At CTIA in Las Vegas, Verizon announced a slew of "fashion-forward" phone accessories, including cases by the above brands. According to the wireless provider, Chloe Dao's selections "range from a playful pink 'kiss' to a trendy plaid design, and offer customers a fun and stylish way to carry and protect their mobile devices." As for the other, "Dooney & Bourke's signature white 'it' fabric, the pink crossword print, the black and white anniversary print, and a fun and flirty plaid." I'm glad this job has finally allowed me the opportunity to type the words "flirty plaid."

For the record, however, I have actually heard of Crocs. I've seen them. They scare me. I'm told they're comfortable; that's fine. I like comfortable stuff. My sneakers are comfortable. But for the record, my sneakers are not made of rubber with big holes in it.

If you do feel kindly toward Crocs, you're in luck: You can now pick up Crocs' o-dial (get it?) cases. They look like Crocs, only they hold phones instead of feet.

All these products are available at Verizon's site
