Unique Skins Custom Vinyl Skins for iPhone 3G–REVIEW/CONTEST!
Sometimes protecting your iPhone 3G can be a boring with some of the cases out there. One way to “spruce” up your iPhone 3G to make it stand out from the rest is by using a custom vinyl skin. Not only will you get some protection for your iPhone, but you’ll look cool at the same time.
Today we’re going to check out some custom vinyl skins for the iPhone 3G made by our friends from Unique Skins. For the bargain basement price of $6.99 for a customized skin, you can’t go wrong with your order! I decided to put their website to the test and they graciously allowed me to place complimentary order to test their product. Let’s find out more, shall we?
Designing your Custom Skin is Easy
Designing the skins were a breeze on their website. You are allowed to upload custom images or use their supplied images/designs as well as add text. They definitely have made it very easy for users to create these custom skins. You can custom design both front and back pieces for your iPhone. Just follow the instructions on your website and you can get a design created in a matter of minutes.

Installing your Unique Skin
After receiving the skins in the mail they come sealed in plastic which helps keep them free of dust and debris. Installation was quite simple and can be completed in less than 15 minutes since there are no tricky corners to deal with. The only tricky part was the front piece as there are two thin strips along the sides that need to be placed down evenly. These skins are more of a cosmetic application rather than full protection, so this is something to keep in mind.

So just how did I do with my design? Well, I combined a logo that was created for us by forum member TheDoc and the blog header by my buddy Greg. Here are the results:




If you want to customize your iPhone and want to try something different, consider a customized skin from Unique Skins. At the price of $6.99 it’s a pretty good deal I’d say. The 3M material does not leave any sticky residue on your phone and is easy to apply. Go try it for yourself! Click here to visit UniqueSkins.com!

I’ve used this website before, I like this product more then any skin, though you may not think it, it still does provide scratch protection but maybe not as much as Zaggs Shield. I have vinyl skin on my macbook and had one on my Razr.
I wouldn’t call the design in the pics visually appealing, but cool nonetheless.
Harry: Thanks for the feedback.
ruffdeezy: I was being a bit sarcastic, but yeah, I slapped those designs together quickly and…and…no comment!! LOL
haha, the real question is can the InvisibleSHIELD be applied over top of our beautiful designs. HA!
Pat: Already thought of that, and well it can be applied to the Vinyl skin, the I.S will not line up perfectly…. lol seriously though.
iPhone Fan… did you apply your custom skin over top of your IS you applied previously?
I need to stand out now! Everyone has iphones on the subway, streetcar….
This is amazing.
This seems to be the same material that Gelaskins use for their product. If it is, it’s a great protective skin for anything! I have them on my iPod Nano
ill try one for sure with my son picture on it lol
Wondering the same thing as Tim… can this go over my already-fabulous IS?
seems like cool skins
Why isn’t it a good protection ? What is the difference between unique skin and Invisible skin in terms of protection ?
Ho ! and why do we always see iphone with that Nemo fish picture as wallpaper ? It doesn’t even come with the iphone wallpaper default set ?
looks pretty cool…….plz enter me forthe contest!
I am designing one for myself, this is a great info.
also it would be great to win one of your skins hahah 😛
Oh! pick me, pick me!! lol. Yeah, curious if thats over top of your IS iPhone Fan?
letme win letme win plzzzzzz
patiently waiting for my 1st ever new iphone ordered on Friday… every time I see a UPS truck drive by I get excited… hope its today & skins would be a great addition.
Regards
I installed the skin on a “naked” iPhone 3G. I bet you could put it over the IS, the material is very flexible and pretty thin.
oh well why not…
count me in:P
Wow. That is one of the best looking skins I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
You have a naked iPhone… tell it to have some dignity!!! 😀
Enter me as well… why not!
LMAOOO @ sunny!
WOW! this custom skin for the iphone is so cool! ^_^
I’m actually going to be purchasing a vinyl printer/cutter for my business later this year… what a great idea for a service to offer locally… hmmm… the old brain is in high gear now… 😀
They look amazing!
Skin me please 🙂
I’d like in on the draw action!
Vinyl, or Polyvinylchloride (PVC) releases VOCs which cause cancer.
Though vinyl is readily used in many areas of our world, it is best to try and avoid it.
I hate to be a downer, I’d just like to share this information, do with it what you will.
I like goldfish so please put me in for the draw
Thanks,
Duc
Pretty cool, count me in!! It looks cool
LOL @ kevin… What, exactly, DOESN’T cause cancer?? Oh! And dont forget about the signal radiation (or whatever u wanna call it) pulsing through your brain from your phone itself! Oh! And watch out for that bus!!!!! hehe 🙂
@ Duc, dems r not goldfish!! Dems r Nemos, don’t u know nuttin?? LOL
Re: Vinyl causing cancer… 80% of homeowners had better tear the vinyl siding off of their homes then. OMG, I have vinyl siding on my house… OMG, I print on vinyl banner material every day… OMG, my old album collection, is it vinyl? I’m freaking out here!!! 😀
But seriously Kevin, I honestly appreciate your concern, but as zilly said, what doesn’t cause cancer these days? I personally don’t think it’s what we do or what we come in contact with that gives us cancer anyhow… We are actually not in charge of how long we live believe it or not!!!
Thats a sweet case! IM IN for the draw! 😉
Can you install this over zaggs INVISIBLE SHIELD ?
Can I apply this skin over my invisibleSHEILD?
Yes!
