'Motherboard' skin is sure to cause double-takes

Gadget skins normally aren't worth noting because they've become so common, but Crave has had a soft spot for GelaSkins almost since we first opened for business. Their designs have been consistently stylish and innovative as they've expanded to practically every surface imaginable, including laptops, iPhones, and even Wiimotes.

And now they've done it again, by going back to the root of their gadgets, quite literally. The "Motherboard" collection takes a bare-bones approach (or raw circuitry, in this case) with a design that will surely draw more than a passing glance at the local Wi-Fi cafe. And its trademark ultra-thin vinyl material will help keep your laptop or iPhone dry in case an admirer dribbles a triple espresso on it.
