There are tectonic plates moving in the tech world. First, Samsung opens its first Canadian store at Metropolis at Metrotown, then Apple releases the iPhone 5. It’s enough to make you want to BBQ your old flip phone (not a good idea, by the way). So if you’re in the market for some new technology – and when are you not? – these are a few of our favourite ways to get your digital self up-to-date.

 

- So retro and so cutting-edge, Coach’s Bleeker iPad case doubles as a portfolio.

- That plain white smartphone case you have? It no longer cuts it. Play around with cases that match your mood – and your outfit. Right now, just about every fashion retailer and kiosk carry fun ones.

- Instagram got you thinking more seriously about photography? Your smartphone’s camera has nothing on the real deal so get snap-happy at Black’s.

You’ll be so teched-out no one will suspect you still have a MySpace page.
