Bid farewell to those boring mobile phone cases or the plain uniform look of your laptop. With the range of gadget wrappings available, you can say hello to a spanking-new look for your beloved tech-toys.
Victoria Sendy fell in love with the new HP Mini Vivienne Tam limited edition. The bright red mini notebook with its pink peony flower print caught her eye and got her heart racing. But she got over her admiration pretty quickly after spying the price tag: US$699.
"That's $200 higher than the ordinary HP Mini," says the 25-year-old. "I had to forget it, no matter how beautiful it is."
Her disappointment, however, didn't last long. When she was walking around Taman Anggrek shopping mall, in West Jakarta, she spotted Skinzindo, a shop with the goods to give her laptop a "facelift".
"I guess I don't have to dream about that Vivienne Tam notebook anymore," Victoria chuckles. "I can get my notebook wrapped in style, which is pretty much the same as any limited edition fashion laptop. And . it comes at a price of less than $200."
