Style up your mobile phone

To decorate or change the cover on your phone, will make your phone look brand new and cool. A mobile phone cover is the actual plastic or aluminum housing outside your mobile phone. Sometimes the cover includes the display, but usually it’s without. The covers are authentic and original, and are supplied us by the mobile phone manufacturers (e.g. Sony Ericsson). When you receive the cover, you remove your old and replace it with your new piece of art to have a phone that suits your image.

As the covers are supplied us by the phone manufacturers as a part of agreements with them to provide the market with designed covers, your guarantee will be intact with your new cover.

A sticker is a thin plastic foil with glue that you stick to the surface of your phone. A cover is an actual part of the phone that you remove and replace.

Because we produce customized covers and not stickers, we only support phone models with exchangeable covers. At the moment Sony Ericsson is the only one with several models with exchangeable covers, but we expect an increase from the other very soon. We are ready to include their phones and other gadgets like game consoles, laptops etc.

This is simple; you just browse through our gadgets to find the phone/gadget you like the most. All designs fits all phones, and you can even create your own design to all phones.

First you have to check if we support your phone by “Browse by Gadget”. Here you find all models we support at the moment.If you don’t find what you search for, please come frequently back, as we add new models and brands all the time.

After choosing your gadget, you have two options when it comes to design. You can pick one our designs, or you can design your own cover by using our designstudio.

Picking one of our designs is easy; you just choose the gadget/model and then design. You’re now ready to check out.

Click on “Design your own” in the header, and you will see our design studio. The design studio should be quite intuitive, and it is possible for you to add background colors, background pattern, your own image/s and/or text. See How to use the designstudio below for more information

First – choose front or back of the phone in the lower left corner of the white frame where you see a preview of your phone.

Then click the “Background” tab to the left. You’ll now see a color palette and a pattern palette. By clicking a color, you’ll instantly see that the preview of your phone model changes accordingly. If you didn’t like the color, just click another until you find the color of your dreams.

If you don’t want a solid color only, you can add texture by choosing patterns from the pattern palette. Click on the texture you like, and preview will change. You may change the color again if you think another color will look better with the texture you found. If you don’t find any texture you like, you can remove it by clicking “Clear pattern”, and you’ll see the solid color only.

If you want to clear both the color and texture, click the button “Start Over” to the left of the texture palette. Please note that you only clear one side of the phone, and that you have to do this for the other side too, if you want to start over with both sides.

If you want color and texture on the other side of the phone, you have to do this again after you have changed side by clicking one of the buttons in the lower left corner of the preview frame.

First – choose front or back of the phone in the lower left corner of the white frame where you see a preview of your phone.

You’ll see that there is a red frame around your image. This is to make it easy for you to see which image/layer you’re working with, if you’re working with more than one.

When clicking on an image in the preview frame, you can move it to and place it where ever you want on the cover. You’ll also see that you can move it so that just a part of your images shows on the cover.

If you want to move an image in front of or behind another object (text, symbol etc), first click on the image and then click on one of the icons under “Layers” in the upper right corner of the preview frame.

By clicking on the image, four buttons will occur to the left of the preview frame. You can use them to make your image larger or smaller, and to rotate the image left or right. Please note: If an image looks too small, it’s low resolution. Enlarging the image too much may end up with a blurry image on your phone cover. Making the image smaller will not affect the quality on the finished cover.

You can add several images to each side of the phone by repeating the steps above.

If you want images on the other side of the phone, you have to do this again after you have changed side by clicking one of the buttons in the lower left corner of the preview frame.

If you want to remove an image you’ve added to you phone, you click and hold on it, and drag and drop it into the basket to the lower right.

If you want to remove several images, background, text and/or symbols, you click “Start Over” to the left. You have to repeat this for the other side too.

The designstudio accepts jpg, jpeg, gif and png-files.

Theoretically there are no size limits, but the functionality is best if the size does not exceed 0.5 Mb. You will notice that larger files will take (really long) time to upload and to be processed, especially right after our e-mail campaigns when loads of people design products at the same time.

Images on the web are usually low-resolution, and too small to give you high-quality output (decoration on the cover). The same with images taken with your mobile phone and sent as MMS. Images taken with your phone is usually of high enough resolution, but it will be compressed when sent as MMS. Please note that many mobile phones take images of poor quality, and that that will affect the image.

Click and hold the symbol and place it where you want it.

When you have clicked on the symbol, you’ll see that you can make the symbol larger or smaller, and that you can rotate it. Above we wrote that we didn’t recommend you to enlarge images too much. It’s not the same with the symbols. You may enlarge them as much as you want.

You may add as many symbols as you want, and on both sides of the phone.

You can of course combine symbols with text, image and/or background. Please note that you can change if the symbol or other object shall be put on top or bottom of your design.
