It Collects Dust Nicely!

It's tempting. You see a nice new accessory or device, and fall in tech-love. It has everything you want, everything you need, seems perfect for you. So you buy it.
And end up never using it.
Maybe it's its fault - the product didn't live up to the claims about it. Or maybe you misgauged how much you'd use it. Or maybe it was something else. Personally I have a multitude of PPC cases that I thought would be great but just ended up being annoying. The result? My PPC ends up caseless a lot, and I have a drawer filled with the little black & metal things. And don't get me started about how easy it is to break belt clips...
So my question, awesome PPCT readers, is what devices or accessories have you purchased and failed to actually use anywhere near as much as you believed you would? Perhaps we can help others steer clear of "impulse" buying with our stories & poll results!
