Gallery: Gelaskins’ Coolest New Designs

Gelaskins put fine art protection on your iPhone.
Among the many dozens (hundreds?) of companies in the cottage industry that makes cases and other protective doo dads for your iPhone, Totonto-based Gelaskins probably produces the most arresting and beautiful of them all.
Actually, just saying they produce protective devices for the iPhone is selling the company way short since they adapt fine art from a deep roster of global artists working in a broad range of styles, putting photo quality prints on thin, but tough, scratch-resistant polymer with a patented 3M adhesive, allowing you to personalize and protect everything from iPhone to the full range of Apple iPods and laptops.
The iPhone covers go for about $15, while iPod protection runs a little less and laptop protective art will set you back about $30. Not that Apple’s industrial design isn’t beautiful itself, but all the Gelaskins art is distinctive – and any of it is guaranteed to make your device stand out from the crowd.
Hit the jump for a gallery of 10 of the newest designs that we think are among the coolest.
Nicoletta Ceccoli is a childrens book illustrator in Luglio, Italy. Her works have been shown across the US and Europe and contain recurring themes of loss of innocence featuring fragile protagonists living in paradoxical situations and theatrical solitude in places somewhere between classic fairy tales and 16th century Flemish paintings.

The problem is that the bezel has 0 protection

Unless an article is REALLY detailed I won’t go past one page let alone go through 10 pages of what should be one page. The fact that these articles are split like this is causing me to seriously think about dropping this site from ones I look at.
Seriously as in, three more articles that would have been interesting but are split apart solely to try to get page hits on the site.
Don’t believe three will be enough? Check back in a few days and see if I’m still coming to the site. I’ve got over half a dozen Mac/iPod/iPhone related sites I look at. ALL are replaceable. Enough of this BS already.

Seriously, I’m as annoyed by splitting this article into 10 pages as much as anyone else (it could easily have been 5 with 2 on each page, or 3 with 3 on each and an extra on the last) but really Olson? Pulling out the old “I’ll never come back here again” line?
Come on guys, it’s one thing to take reasonable issue and explain why. It’s another thing to be that walmart shopper who storms out claiming they’ll never shop there again only to return the next time there’s a sale. No one cares, make a real argument. And I say this because I agree and I hate seeing the fact that it really is an annoying way of crafting an article (really editors? 10 pages for this?) but it’s all but reaffirmed by whiny trollish comments.
