There are few things sadder than a scratched up tech toy. Students of today often have to tote around more than just a couple of books and a Jansport, and it's important to keep those extra goodies protected from the bumps and scratches of hectic school life. Just a wee bit of prevention can go a long way. Really, once you get that hardcore scar across the front of your super-shiny Macbook after accidentally skimming it with your bracelet-decorated wrist, you'll be sorry you didn't read this!

The way we see it, it's always a good idea to carry a pocketknife for whatever trouble life might throw at you. When you combine it with a toothpick, tweezers, a corkscrew, compass -- you can pretty much MacGuyver your way through any situation. We could make a pretty good case for carrying around a Leatherman multi-tool, but not from a fashion standpoint. It's hard to beat the sleek and compact design of the Swiss Army Knife.

Victorinox's Swiss army knives have somehow managed to stay relevant through over a century of intense technological change. The latest generation Swiss Army Knife is no exception, it gives you a selection of 6 necessary tools for modern living. This bad boy is your one-stop shop for a retractable ballpoint pen, LED white light, blade, file, scissors, and a removable 1GB USB drive. How awesome is that?

In case the bejeweled Dior sunglasses weren't enough, there are a few electronic devices that have been given the same bling treatment, for your choosing.

The Dalumi Group recently teamed up with LG and Rich to add a bit of sparkle to their USB drives and Capilo R5 digital cameras, respectively.The camera features 200 diamonds mounted on white gold on circular lens and costs $25,000. The equally fabulous USB drive is framed in diamonds and will set you back a cool $10,000. Chump change, right?

Both pieces are going to be auctioned off after a one-year tour around the world for charity. The proceeds will go to the SOS Children's Village in Botswana. In the meantime, those who are wanting to look flashy on a much more affordable scale should look no further than the Phillip & Swarovski USB drive. They cost $200.
