GelaSkins Brings Tim Burton to Your iPhones, Laptops

GeekSugar — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:43:47 -0800

Even if you didn't get to party with Tim Burton himself on Tuesday night for the unveiling of his career-spanning collection of art in NYC, you can still go check out the goods at the MoMA, and now can don your iPhone or laptop in his work as well. GelaSkins is known for their huge selection of artist-inspired gadget skins, and have plucked the artwork right out of Burton's "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories" and handed it to us in a collection called Tragic Toys for Girls and Boys.

The iPhone skins will set you back $15, and the Laptop skins start at $30, but seems like a deal if you're a Burton fangirl, or just adore his creepy-cute art, like I do.

Etsy Find: Cool Vinyl Laptop Decals

GeekSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:05:19 -0700

If the Twilight laptop skin isn't your thing, then maybe this selection of cool and geeky ones will be. I first found this awesome Snow White laptop decal (which reminded me of yet another Twilight-themed decal), which incorporates your Apple logo into the piece. But then I kept browsing the shop and got hooked on all of the totally geeky decals, which can be used on your laptop, your Kindle, your walls, or wherever you want to stick 'em.

Good news is that these decals were made to be attached and then pulled off later, so you won't have any sticky residue after you've outgrown your artsy vinyl. Plus, with prices starting at $13 each, you can't really go wrong. Check out a few more of my faves below!

Artistic Laptop Skins For All Types of Personalities

GeekSugar — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 10:03:54 -0800

I love my laptop (but not in a creepy way), but sometimes I wish I could spruce up the exterior as much as the interior (colorful wallpaper, fun icons, and so on). Rather than spend money I don't have on a fashionable laptop like the Vivienne Tam Notebook, I've decided to get more creative with the laptop I already have.

For $28, I can get one of these special limited-edition Artist Series Laptop Skins, which measure 15.4 inches - making it the perfect fit for my MacBook Pro. Made from vinyl, each skin is not only reusable, but removable as well. So if you get sick of it, you can easily take it off. Designs are entitled "Shore," "Cable Cranes," "Jealousy," and "Underworld."

A Tree Grows in Geekland

GeekSugar — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 09:05:25 -0700

I go in and out of liking laptop skins; sometimes they can look cheap and dumb, and sometimes they're done right and end up looking so adorable that I want to buy a whole series. Making a good case for the latter scenario is this Tree Laptop Skin ($19).

It would make your laptop so cute and distinctive that no one would mistake your MacBook for theirs while you were up getting your third coffee at Starbucks. That makes it valuable and beautiful. Like you.

Tile Your Laptop (No Grouting Necessary)

There's no denying it: Everyone needs a little Morocco in her life. Can't afford a trip right now? The only world traveling you do is on the World Wide Web? Get these Tile Skins then, and bring some European flair home with your laptop.

I've been digging the idea of laptop skins lately, so these will just go on my list of potential skins - since they are as arty as the ones in the slideshow but a little more romantic. A little more, ironically, old-world.

Cool Skins for My Precious Laptop

GeekSugar — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:20:50 -0700

Lately, I've been toying around with the idea of getting a skin for my laptop. Since I lug it around everywhere with me, I run the risk of damage from taking it in and out of my bag, in my luggage, or even just when it's sitting on my kitchen table. Plus, I have to admit I get pretty OCD about smudges and scratches on my precious gadgets... I'm sure you know what I mean. But I don't want just any skin, I'd of course have to get something exciting, but not too flashy. I've shopped around, and found skins ranging from uber geeky to techie cool, and I think I've finally narrowed down my choices. But I need some help deciding! Check out some of my fave laptop skins from around the web and let me know which of these you think I should slap on my lappy!

Personalize Your HP Gadgets With Colorful Skins

GeekSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 07:00:17 -0800

The first thing I thought of when I learned from Chip Chick that HP and SkinIt had teamed up to offer "skinned" products was-why don't I own more HP stuff! I know I talk about laptop skins alot, but what's so great about these skins is the fact that you can "dress up" a variety of gadgets with a ton of unique designs. For instance, once you find a skin you like, choose the device you want to customize. From cameras to phones, you are able to go creative crazy. You can even create your own skin with the Photo uploader!

Fun and Funky Laptop SKYN Covers

GeekSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 07:00:21 -0700

Whether it be with stickers, rhinestones, cases or sleeves, pimping your laptop is definitely one of the hottest geek chic trends. I prefer my basic white Apple, but if I do decide to kick it up a notch, I'll probably get a SKYN. SKYN's are not only stylish, but reusable and will keep your laptop surface nice and protected. They come in a variety of sizes to fit various laptop models and range in price from $35-$40. Maybe a bit expensive, but then again, you are giving your laptop a full makeover! Here are a few from the Eva Collection:

Slap A Lapschtick Onto Your Laptop

GeekSugar — Wed, 09 May 2007 13:00:01 -0700

Bring a slice of summer right to your laptop with these vinyl schtickers by Kolobags!

Lapschtickers are great because they add color and style to your laptop while protecting the top from scratches. And if you get bored of a particular print, you can easily remove the current Lapschtick and switch it up...which I must say is far less risky than permanently tattooing your laptop.

One size fits all as you can trim to fit almost all laptops and the price is $20. Check out all the fun patterns below, which include: red blossom, pink gerber daisy, black skull, blue snappy stripes, black racy and green asterisk (shown here).
