Adhesive skins are a great, bulk-free to accessorize and protect notebooks, tablets and smartphones. Infectious offers a huge selection of retro-flavoured designs that bring us to the early days of arcade gaming and consoles.

The Photoroid iPhone skin ($14.99, below) harkens back to the day of instant photography and gives the iPhone 4 a cool yet comical vibe. Infectioous has hundreds of original designs by their artists and while the retro stuff is cool, they have a wide range of styles and inspirations. You can submit your own designs as well. It is great to see a creative company with a sense of humour and love for tech of the past.
