Turn your photo into an iPhone case

case-mate DIY custom photo iPhone caseI'm always on look out for creative ways to display photos of my kids, and if took a peek around my house and in my jewelry box, you'd see everything from bags to jewelry and probably everything else in between. So when I saw the custom phone cases with photos of the fam, I knew I needed to try them out.

 

You simply upload your favorite photo to create your custom iPhone and Blackberry case at Case-mate, and then fit them to the case of your choice with a very easy-to-use website. The result is a hard case made from Lexan, which is stronger and sturdier than regular old plastic.

Cool Mom Picks Pick of the Year 2010It not only makes your photos look beautiful, but ensures that the ink won't rub off. Plus, you'll get a silicone insert that keeps your phone snugly protected within the case as well as a screen protector kit. I could not be happier with mine.

Of course I'm happy that my phone is amply protected, but really, I'm glowing from all the compliments I've gotten--both on my cute kids and my very cool cellphone case. -Kristen

Do you know if there is anything like this for Android? My husband's birthday is coming up and this would be perfect for his Evo!

We just tracked down this custom skin from Skinit which is available for Droid X, EVO 4G and iPhones 3 and 4 and allows you to upload your own photo. We haven't tried it yet ourselves, but looks promising!

Seriously? A firm that specializes in iPad cases, but their site is all flash based and incompatible with iPad. Geek chic maybe, but not very astute.
