Further different sides of the device can be designed differently according to user’s liking.

You can then easily drag- and-drop them to your skin and customize them even further with text and art. It creates unlimited personalization options, and we have been overwhelmed by the response from consumers since we recently made the tool available on the Skinit website.”

“Personalization is clearly a hot trend and a way for consumers to express their own individuality and uniqueness and the Customizer provides the ultimate tool for doing just that,” added Buss.
