This may up my lame factor, but I have a confession to make...I always seem to be the  last of my friends to buy the latest and the greatest gadgetry. In fact, when I finally make a purchase, there's usually a  new latest and greatest on the market (but hey, at least that means I get the item on sale, right?!). Still with me? Hmmm...probably not, but in my defence I do drool over the newest tech goodies just as much as the next gal...it's just that my eyes don't match my wallet. Thus, I get left behind - spitting dust, if you know what I mean! Anyways, such is the case with my cellphone. While all of my friends have been happily glued to their smartphones (for several years), I'm still lugging around the standard mobile. I've got my eye on the new  iPhone4 in white (doesn't everybody?!); and, someday I WILL cave. Just not yet! So here was my dilemma: I wanted to glam up my ol' phone without putting a giant gouge in my wallet. Enter  GelaSkins. Made of laminated vinyl with a 3M adhesive backing, these "skins" are an easy and inexpensive way to dress up and protect all of your fav tech treasures (cellphones, laptops, tablets, e-readers, etc.)! Choose designs from their artists' gallery or design your own. The "skins" go on in minutes and come off residue-free. The best part is that these beauties are made right in Toronto! I've been obsessing over all things chevron and chose to design my own pattern in a lovely palette of grey-blue and creamy white (shown below). I'm gushing over the result and feel much better about my lil' ol' phone. What do you think? What prized tech goody would you cover with a GelaSkin ? Leave a comment and let us know!
