Fancy Marvel GelaSkins for iPhone, iPod, and laptops

We get a lot of solicitations for products around here, and 99 times out of 100, I just delete them and keep going, because they're either lame, or have nothing to do with what we do.  (Seriously, the crap people think you'd all like is nearly offensive.)  But these GelaSkins look pretty cool.  They licensed some images from Marvel, and won me over by their use of classic Marvel covers that look old and ragged, like when you dig out those wonderful old comics.  I wonder how they smell.  They've got wraps for iPhones, iPods, and different laptop sizes.  I'll definitely be picking something up for my aging MacBook Pro.  There are also newer images that look a bit like Ultimate Spider-Man covers, which I have chosen not to highlight, because they are somewhat visually loathesome.


    

 

 

But that's not all!  Browsing the site, I saw these flippin' stunning Sin City and 300 images from Frank Miller available too.  I have tough choices to make!

    The X-Men laptop is awesome. If only I didn’t have a VAIO. I would have got it :(

  3. zak7khan zak7khan says:

    Yeah I know it’s a sticker, not a laptop. Just don’t want to cover the logo

  4. Conor Kilpatrick conor says:

    Those are pretty badass.

  5. Crippler Crippler says:

    I wanted to see these ever since I started seeing the Dark Horse ones start appearing in Previews.  This is great.  I’ll wait to see some DC ones first before buying anything though! 

  6. Jeff Reid JeffR (@JeffRReid) says:

    That is awesome. Better yet, they didn’t forget about us iPod Classic users. Gonna have to drop some very unsubtle hints about this to my wife.

    Super badass. I want the ipod Giant Size Xmen

    Just in case you needed more reasons for that cute girl at Starbucks to look scornfully upon you.

  9. Conor Kilpatrick conor says:

    @fnord: Maybe that’s a problem *you* have…

  10. Crippler Crippler says:

    I’d like to think any scornful looks I receive from the Starbucks girl have to do with something else ENTIRELY.

    Here’s a link to all the Dark Horse skins, including a rather nice looking Hellboy on page 2. 

  12. Crippler Crippler says:

    Yup, those are nice too.  Come on.. where are the DC offerings?

  13. Slockhart Slockhart says:

    @Crippler

    I’d do anything for a DKR #1 

  14. JesTr JesTr says:

    Those look cool but I already have the iFanboy sticker and assorted others on my laptop.

  15. Damn right, iFanboy sticker. ;)

  16. I’m not really into tossing stickers on my laptop, but that Sin City decal’s pretty fly. 

  17. Crippler Crippler says:

    iFanboy gelskins?  Featuring pictures of the various iFanboy net celebs caught in their most candid moments? 

  18. Crippler Crippler says:

    Actually, this sort of reminds of those AWESOME wall decals that Conor linked to a few months ago.  (I think it was Conor)  I loved the idea, just not the execution.  I want to see the scenes or panels that I want to see.. not have them picked out for me.  Print on demand baby.  It’s not just for struggling authors anymore!

  19. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    It was me, actually.

  20. Katharsis Katharsis says:

    There’s a couple of Hellboy ones too!

  21. Bedhead Bedhead says:

    Man, I am in my 30s, I have a kid, I’m successful, and though these things look pretty cool, I can’t look at them and not think that somehow, somewhere, some brutish 13 year old from 1990 is going to beat me up.    

  22. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    Y’all are carrying around a lot of baggage. I think they’re just cool as shit.

  23. Paradiddle Paradiddle says:

    Holy crap these are cool! I’ve been looking for a better case than the lame one I currently have for my iPod so I may have to order one of these.

  24. Welkin Welkin says:

    wait, these are just sticker like things right? not a hard outer shell to prevent fall apart? 

  25. ActualButt ActualButt says:

    I used Gelaskins for a custom iPod skin for my girlfriend a few months ago, and the product itself is fantastic. I just ordered the Giant-Size X-Men skin for my iPod Classic. I would have gotten one of the Sin City skins, but those weren’t available for iPod Classics. I have very happy now though!

  26. Bryce31 Bryce31 says:

    Those are awesome! I want that sin city or x-men one for my laptop.

  27. DeadpoolFan1 DeadpoolFan1 says:

    2 things

    1. I think the Marvel Cover Collage is pretty amazing.

    2. Where is the Deadpool skin or the variant skins with Deadpool messing with the original? I thought Marvel was requiring that for all their products now. 

  28. Wolfdog Wolfdog says:

    Marv checking his list is definitely going on my laptop.

  29. That’s pretty bad ass, especially the Sin City one. 

  30. kaydawg25 kaydawg25 says:

    where do you get them…..

  31. Well, the link goes to GelaSkins.com, which has an online store. 

  32. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    That last one owns. It’s the kind of panel that makes me want to buy t-shirts of.

  33. flakbait flakbait says:

    Are those stickers? I was under the impression they were like slip-on covers or something. I was tempted by some of the Buffy ones a while back.

  34. flakbait flakbait says:

    Oh I see now, they are removable.

    Heyooo! Just saw the Sin City Nancy one. I should get it just to anger the wife.

  35. Unoob Unoob says:

    Gak!

     

    I was hoping for Cap’s shield or some Cap themed one.

  36. PudgyNinja PudgyNinja says:

    I have a Gelaskin for my iPhone.  It’s not comics themed, but I like it.  It’s a vinyl sticker that you apply to the back.  Not sure the exact nature of the adhesive, but it is removable and I believe re-usable.  No, it’s not going to afford a ton of protection to your electronic device, but it does make my iPhone less slippery, which I appreciate.  Also, it looks cool.

  37. i will buy hundreds and make a blanket, and when i sleep it shall be in a blanket of awesomness

  38. Crippler Crippler says:

    Wow, someone should have called me out on what I said earlier.. they DO have a print on demand option.  Sort of. 

    I guess I can’t offer any reason to not buy one or three then! 

  39. marshak75 marshak75 says:

    I actually just got a cool skin for my Blackberry.  Uniqueskins.com will make any image.  They are not Gelskins though.  I chose Kamandi #1 and JSA issue for the back.  No, I am not a paid advertiser.  I just like to give people options.  I might try one of these out.  They seem pretty badass.
