My kids and I are very into technology. Cell phones with unlimited text messaging? Check! Laptops? Check! iPods? Check! We’ve got an XBox, PlayStation 2, and Bubba has a PSP. So when we had a chance to try out Unique Skins, I knew we’d have no problem putting them to good use.

A few months ago, I got the new Samsung Instinct touch phone from Sprint. Since its so new and different, there aren’t very many cases available for it so I was pretty much stuck with the plain black one that came with the phone. Now I’m the type of person who likes my accessories to match my personality. For example, my old phone was red – my favorite color – and so is everything else in my purse. So to have a plain ol’ black phone in a plain ol’ black case was just annoying.

Not anymore. Now my phone matches my blog. (Don’t laugh! You laugh and I will hurt you. Ok, not really, but I will be very, very upset with you.) I’m serious. On the front of my phone is my tan background with the stars and the “Mom” tattoo and then on the back is a larger version of it. I can’t even begin to tell you how cool it is to have a “That Crazy Mom” phone thanks to Unique Skins.

These skins are really inexpensive so I had enough to get another custom skin. I had one made for Bubba to put on his PSP (Play Station Portable) and his also matches his blog – black with purple flames and then his name written in a purple graffiti font. He was thrilled! It looks so cool and it doesn’t interfere with actually using his PSP like another skin did.

Unique Skins are easy to apply and if you mess up – like I did….3 times – its really easy to take it off and put it back on again. If you end up with any bubbles during the application process, they can easily be pushed out without leaving any marks.

As far as design, they have a bunch of ready-made designs you can choose from, you can add text, rotate and resize the images, do whatever you want to get the look you want. I opted to upload our own images. If you use your own images and you also add text, I’d suggest making your own image with text so that you can be sure the colors match. We used their text editor on Bubba’s skin and their purple was a little different shade than the purple from his image.

Now the fun part….I have THREE gift codes to giveaway, worth $15 each. All you have to do is visit Unique Skins then come back here and leave me a comment telling me what kind of skin you’d choose. Would you decorate your iPod with your son’s school picture? Or customize your Blackberry with your business logo?

I’ll take comments through 10:00 PM Central time on Sunday, October 12th and then choose a winner using Random.org.

Ready? Go!
