Razr Skin - Why We Believe We've Found the Best Motorola Razr Skins Out There

In addition to protecting your gadget, a skin's primary purpose to to personalize your phone, laptop, game system, iPod, or other electronic gadget. Your options on choosing how to do that are great. You could be a sports nut. Their are a number of skins that feature professional and collegiate teams. Maybe you're artistic in nature - Decal Girl has a great selection of skins that sport pop art and photography. Perhaps your obsessed with celebrities, movies, and music. Skin It is where you'll want to visit as they list skins with everything from Edward Cullen and Twilight to Disney and the Muppets. Of course, you always have the option to be the designer yourself - SkinIt as well as Gelaskins give you the option of creating a skin from your own image or artwork. With the number of designs out there, you could have multiple skins to express different moods, seasons, or events.

We first came across Gelaskins while researching cheap Valentine's Day gifts. (I can imagine what you're thinking - why would you look for something as simple as a skin for a Valentines Day gift? We find that personalized gifts are always popular romantic gifts and a skin can be a casual gift for a new relationship while still showing you care enough to know know their personal taste.) The Gelaskin site plays out similar to an art gallery - their homepage allows you to browse skins via device or via artist. They have classical art pieces like Claude Monet's Artist's Garden at Giverny to the illusion-like works of MC Escher. It's because of this wide an unusual variety that we feel Gelaskin skins will appeal to a wider audience (in other words, not just for teenagers). To almost contradict their art offerings, they have assembled a huge arrange of surrealist and pop artists, which targets those who do not necessarily care for fine art.

Gelaskins offer more than just Razr skins. The market to other phones, iPods, MP3 players, laptops, game systems, Amazon's Kindle, as well as offering actual prints. Another asset of the Gelaskins website is that they preview each piece of art on your device so you get an better idea of what you will be purchasing.

While Skin It offers more that pop culture items alone, we found it to be the best source for graphics featuring movies, sports, and music. A huge perk to shopping with them is their ability to customize more than just your Razr. SkinIt offers everything from wall decor for your room to Tailgating Packs for your truck, car, or RV featuring your favorite sports team. If you would rather create your own design, they also offer a personalization gallery to allow you to brainstorm how you would like to design your skin. One pitfall for the site - when you view their selection, you are simply show what graphics are available. They do not show you images of how those graphics would look on the item you're getting a skin for. By their samples, it looks like there are no problems in transitioning the graphics to fit various shapes. That being said, you do run the risk of not knowing exactly what you're purchasing.

Decal Girl 's offerings are a combination of both Gelaskins and Skin It. They offer a larger variety of skins like SkinIt, but tend to stick more to art and photography similarly to Gelaskins. While we're not as particularly fond of some of their designs they way we are with Gelaskins, they have a much larger selection of Razr Skins available.They also have a nice selection of stock graphics as designs, which is something neither Skin It of Gelaskins have many of.
