People are getting personal with their electronic devices.

Colorful, skin-tight graphic applications and protective shells are showing up on mobile phones, laptop computers and gaming devices.

Websites such as skinit.com and bestbuyskins.com make it simple for people to customize skins for their personal electronic devices.

Zach Emziah, a customer service specialist at Best Buy in Hixson, said customers like the freedom of personalizing with skins. They also like the protective case tops sold in the store, he said.

“People buy the case tops, not only because they can protect the device but also because they are available in many colors,” he said.
