Save 50 percent on custom skins for your gadgets

Save 50 percent on hundreds of Skinit decals for dozens of devices.

I'm a longtime fan of Skinit, which sells nifty vinyl "skins" (i.e. decals) for laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, and other devices.

These custom stickers are a great way to dress up otherwise drab gadgets. For example, I slapped a big ol' Michigan State University logo on the boring black lid of my Acer Aspire laptop.

From now until tomorrow (Oct. 22), Skinit is offering one of the best deals I've seen yet: 50 percent off all skins with coupon code HALFOFF.

Shipping will run you $2.99, unless your order tops $40, in which case it's free.

Skinit offers a gazillion designs, ranging from cars to sports to flags of the world. You can also create a custom skin by uploading your own photo or artwork.

The skins themselves are made of glossy 3M vinyl that promises to leave behind no residue if and when you decide to peel it off your hardware.

A 17-inch laptop skin usually sells for around $30, while an iPhone skin will run you $15. Cut those prices in half with the coupon and you've got some seriously good deals. Great gift item, too!

I will vouch for skinit. I received a free zune skin skinit two years ago (they messed up on one of their coupons but still honored the price) and it has yet to fade, wear down, or peel. Great deal.

for the zune, Is the skinit for the front? or the front and back?

[ducttape36]

front and back. it was an old 30gb version.

Thanks Rick!

WHAT? SEC Football is where it's at!

I like the idea of skinit, but most of my items (iPhone, iPod, etc..) already have cases I keep them in which would cover up the skin.

But, I could use a UGA Bulldogs skin for my laptop. Go Dawgs!!!

I just ordered and shipping is actually $4.99.

[rickbroida]

Shipping to where, if I may ask?

Oh sweet! If only I had a device that needed a skin :(

I created a custom skin with their website for my netbook and it came out great! Maybe I'll order a 2nd one for whenever I get tired of my current skin ;)
