So you go out and pick up a new tech toy… and begin a paranoid countdown to the first accidental scratch. For some devices, it’s easy to get a hard or soft case, but the added bulk makes the new toy look awkward. Maybe you’re less concerned about scratches, and just want your device to shout, “THIS IS WHO I AM!”
As you express your style, you also benefit from being able to distinguish your device from others. If you’re out with a group and everyone sets their phone down, you can easily recognize yours. You don’t have to worry about someone else picking up your phone by mistake, unless they’re just wanting to admire your cool skin.
An easy, non-permanent way to personalize any tech toy you own is by using some type of adhesive skin. The most popular material for laptop skins is vinyl, but you can also find companies making skins out of more exotic mediums. One company, Karvt, is offering stylish Macbook, iPhone, and iPad skins made of 100% real wood. The skins are easy to apply, and are easily removed if you decide you want to change or update the design.
The following sites are a great place to find skins to personalize your equipment:
