Gear Skins For Label Whores

Filed under: Design, Misc. Gadgets

Music Skins (a.k.a. GelaSkins) collaborated with streetwear label Lemar and Dauley to create a line of covers for laptops, iPods, iPhones, and plain old cellphones. All of the skins are emblazoned with Lemar and Dauley’s rainbow skyline logo. I dig the skyline drawing on the skins, but I don’t see why anyone besides a major label whore would want two other dudes’ names on their electronics.

These Lemar and Dauley skins are made with specialty 3M vinyl that’s less than 2mm thick with residue-free adhesive that allows for worry-free removal when you want a new look for your gear. Music Skins also has downloadable wallpapers so you can match the screen of your device to it’s skin. After the jump, check out more photos the Lemar and Dauley line for Music Skins.

More than a year ago, we showcased an excellent poster design which took pixelized art and created a city out of Web 2.0 companies, created by eBoy. Now, eBoy is rolling out their very own iPod skins.

The eBoy touch is very clear and is an excellent add-on for your Apple device. That is, if you have grown tired of the same old solid color. — Andrew Dobrow

Xbox 360 Chrome Replacement Shell makes your console slightly less geeky

Filed under: Design, Gaming

chrome xbox 360 shell

The vanilla colored skins of the Xbox 360 get very boring extremely fast. True, the actual appearance of a console isn’t that important when your knee deep in dead bodies you just slaughtered, but the point is that a console that takes up so much of your time should look badass too.

This chrome replacement shell adds a nice hint of class and coolness to your otherwise plain casing, while also keeping a more clean cut look then the Kill Bill mods of yore. Those of you who keep track of this type of thing probably remember the insane popularity of the PS3 colored mods that gaming and tech blogs alike were going frantic about (including us).  Not only do these babies add more shine to your style then the rims on Kanye West’s cars, but also makes as a nice little mirror to check your hair if by some rare chance you have a lady friend coming over.

NCS says that the installation is easy enough to do yourself. For $49, a chrome finish is a nice touch to add to a plain part of your life and would be a great companion piece to the equally futuristic Power Glove Wiimote Mod. — Andrew Dobrow

The Keyboard is sure to start the party up

Razzle dazzle may not be a word you normally hear used to describe a computer keyboard, but Luxiium’s Luxeed sparkles like no other keyboard before it. Each key can be personalized with a choice of 512 colors with pre-made color templates preloaded. Not only colors can be changed, but rhythm. The skins can be coordinated to move to the beat of a song as well. And you’ve gotta admit. The old black, white, and gray keyboards are beyond boring at this point (although they do get the job done). Light sequences can also be triggered and personalized by launched programs. The customization is actually pretty incredible. — Andrew Dobrow

Only days ago on Christmas Day, millions of people were introduced to new personal electronics, many of which fall under one of the “Big 10″ which includes the Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 and PSP, ipod Nano, Blackberry, Treo, DELL Notebook Laptop, Motorola and Palm. With the millions of hands now playing with their gadgets, there are millions of people eager to stand out from the crowd by making their gear a little more reflective of their personality. MyTego introduces the water-proof, easy on and off, adhesive skin for electronics. The TEGO skins are fully customizable with any photo, text, or graphic that you want. The Gearfuse LG Chocolate skin (as seen above) is a nice, but totally lazily put together example. Customers can also pick and choose from MyTego’s massive collection of photos. Prices vary between $12 (for a Palm-style phone, 1 face) and $41 (for a PDA, 4 faces) depending on what device you are designing the skin for. — Andrew Dobrow
