good-bye, boring phones! hello, skinit! :: review

With this month’s release of Apple’s new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, I’ve had lots of conversations with friends and family about the “smartphone shuffle”. You may have had this conversation in your house, too. It goes something like this.

husband: “I would really like to upgrade our current phones to the new iPhone 6.”
wife: “Well, of course! It only makes sense. We both upgrade and pass our current phones down to Janey and Billy. I mean, honestly, they really should have their own phones now for emergencies and so we can stay in contact with them. It really is the smartest thing we could do. We’re really only upgrading for them.”

Ok, maybe I exaggerate a little but you get the gist of it 🙂

Now, I have no doubt that your kids are going to be over-the-moon thrilled to have your old phone. After all, it’s now *their* phone. And that’s pretty big stuff! But you can earn even more “Awesome Parent Points” with a little thing called Skinit!

Skinit makes these really fun skins and cases for all of your devices (smartphones, tablets, computers, gaming devices). And “really fun” doesn’t even begin to describe them! The have one of the largest design bases I’ve ever seen for skins and cases. Superheroes? Check! Sports teams? Check! Every design you could imagine? Check. And, if for some reason you can’t find a design you love, you can always design your own!

So, last week I got to earn “Awesome Aunt Points” and surprise my two nieces with their very own Skinits! (Their parents are getting new phones and, thus, the “smartphone shuffle” was happening.) The girls were thrilled with the opportunity to personalize their hand-me-down phones to truly make them their own. And that’s exactly what they did!

I let them loose on Skinit.com to find the perfect skin that fit their personality. And they nailed it!

Art-deco design for my art-loving teen niece and the cutesy penguin for the pre-teen.

We loved how the skins were super easy to install and their parents love that the skins add a nice layer of protection on the phones! And, at just $14.99, they are a really affordable option for some customization and fun!

But don’t worry, mom & dad, you can still get in on the Skinit fun with your fancy new phones because Skinit now offers skins for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus!!!

And, even if you’re not participating in the great “smartphone shuffle” this fall, you still have plenty of opportunities to do some fun Fall customization on your devices. As I said before, Skinit offers skins for a variety of smartphones, laptops, tablets, iPods, XBox One, 3DS, PS4 and more.

So, whether it’s a little added fun for your kids or fun for you, let your personality show with Skinit cases and skins!
