It’s no secret that I love my gadgets. If I am the Liz Taylor of electronics then Dearest plays a convincing Richard Burton supplying me with dazzling technical wonders. But a woman still likes to accessorize. Things don’t quite feel “mine” until I apply a bit of signature flair. Enter: Skinit!
This is a website that helps you design a protective vinyl film perfectly cut to fit your favorite device. You can upload your own digital art or select from their library of designs. (I chose an antique map theme and coordinated it to all my portable gadgets.) Then you can use their template to size and position it perfectly to your specific device.
It is so easy and most skins provide protection for both the back and the front of the device. For devices that require a screen protector, apply that first. Then lay the skin over it.
Don’t forget to coordinate your your desktop screen or electronic wallpaper! You can use the same digital image you uploaded to Skinit.com and re-position it to coordinate with the skin frame for an added touch of sophistication.
Not only does a personal skin let you express yourself, it also makes your devices less attractive to steal. Something so unique and identifiable makes a thief think twice before risking a pinch. No one will guess how easy the skin is to remove. It looks so permanent and perfect, no one will believe it peels right off again without a trace of residue.
What a delightful way to brand your portable electronics with your personal style. Reading on the beach or writing in your favorite coffee shop, your devices will be protected from scuffs and scratches while showing off your attitude.
So wander-readers, how do you personalize and accessorize your gadgets? Do you have a favorite cover, case, or bag to recommend? I’d love to hear about it.
