Arrow Gelaskins for your creative side?

Customising your Mac has been raised before and the response wasn't too positive see this thread, but I've just come across Gelaskins and they have some stunning original artwork.

So if you fancy a skin for your MacBook, MBP, iPhone or iPod you might want to have a look. I like that they have artist details too, nice touch. Prices aren't bad either. Have fun and upload a pic if you buy one

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

Quite like the Union Jack flag one but don't fancy covering up the apple logo on the lid. If you did get one wonder if the light from the logo would show through the skin?

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

Quite possibly depends on the opacity I guess.

Of course a true anglophile MacHead would cut out the Apple symbol …

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

That didn't come out right - I meant make a cut out for the apple logo! Must look for that one for my Touch.

Suppose you could but as you say depends on the opacity that comes through.

Maybe a slight glow through the skin would be kinda neat.

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

Have bought Gelaskins for my last iPod nano and my current one. Can definitely recommend them. The only problem is if you get shipped the wrong one by mistake, which happened to my Sister. They asked her to send it back, which with them being in America, would have cost the same as buying a new one from them. However, I've ordered two and had no problems with delivery or payment.

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

Hey Folks!

Jamie here writing from GelaSkins... thanks for all the kind words. Regarding the apple logo, it will shine through, somewhat, but only in a dim room or at night.

To the fellow who received the wrong skin and had to pay to ship it back, I humbly apologize for the miscommunication! Usually folks will reseal the envelope and write Return to Sender on it. Please send an email to contact@gelaskins.com and we'll refund you the cost of shipping.

Take it easy!

Jamie

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

I was interested in purchasing a Gelaskin for my iPod video... how long do they usually take to arrive and how much are you charged in extra import/customs charges for it?

Re: Gelaskins for your creative side?

Just thought I'd bump this thread with an article on Gelaskins on CoM featuring what they think are the 10 best skins - I like #10 - but have a look at the others as they are stunning original art.
