Though it isn't our go-to source for laptop cases and the like, West Elm certainly turned out a stylish carry case perfect for our staff's beloved MacBooks. This zip-up envelop is rubber padded for protection and comes in sunny, durable yellow canvas that you can have monogrammed for an additional $7.00. Miniature phone, e-reader, and table cases are also available to complete the bright family of electronic accessories.

How would you like the chance to shop alongside style soothsayers the likes of model Coco Rocha, designer Betsey Johnson, and Barneys' Simon Doonan? eBay's Inspiration Shop gives you just that opportunity, in a manner of speaking. Rocha, Johnson, and Doonan, along with industry bigwigs such as Jonathan Adler and longtime friend of Splendora Zem Joaquin have curated collections for the 24/7 shoppable storefront.
The shop uses mobile technology to allow shoppers to act on retail inspiration the moment it hits. By downloading an eBay app, you can scan custom codes in store windows to look for similar items online. If you're in New York, you can interact with the physical store at 404 Park Avenue South (through November 10th), while buyers from afar can access the Inspiration Shop on a mobile device, eBay or Facebook. Find out what today's tastemakers have on their fall must-have lists, and pick up a few of the pieces for yourself, too.

Set the hour to International O'Clock with this clever timekeeper by designer Alexander Harris. Named "Ben" for a certain London monument, the four-faced desk accessory has a chalkboard border bottom so you can write in the names of places whose times you want to track. Handmade with care, it's a quirky cross between a building block and architectural marvel. Purchase it from online retailer Bouf.

We have something of a Proenza Schouler fetish here at Splendora HQ, an obsession that has blossomed after catching sight of this satchel-inspired iPad case. Though it's available in supple black leather, our preference is for the tomato red or Sulphur, a shocking lime green shade. This, the Rolls-Royce of iPad accessories, is the ultimate in techie caddies.

Jobs not only changed our collective relationship with technology, but encouraged Mac users to "Think Different" with products that encourage creative expression.
