Personalization options can add style to mobile electronics

From cells phones to laptops, modern electronics can come in a wide range of colors and styles to fit consumers’ preferences. Now laptop carrying cases are getting into the personal style arena with flashy patterns and designs to help its user stand out from the crowd.

Isis Dei (above), Designer Sleeves (upper right), and Built (right) were all showing their colorful neoprene protective laptop sleeves on the CES show floor, with patterns and artwork of all tastes on display.

Isis Dei had skins and designer bags on display as well. A live DJ and Booth Babe were also on hand to draw in the cool crowd.

Built had a thin neoprene backpack made to hold a laptop comfortably and not much else, making the pack less bulky for those who’ve gone completely digital. Other slim carrying solutions had multiple pouches for holding a variety of gadgets and accessories.

Designer Sleeve’s display showed off designs with full-color graphics and photos, going beyond just designs and patterns. Like the other companies’ sleeves, the neoprene material works as moisture and shock protection.

Gelaskins is another personalization option that adheres a removable vinyl skin right to most portable devices, and the stylized art comes in a very large variety from many different artists. Up-and-comers can also submit their portfolio and if their artistic style matches Gelaskins they might be able to contribute to the growing library of styles.

While laptops and cellphones used to be business items, they’re used by more youth than ever and it’s about time the styles caught up with the market.
