Did you know that you can create skins for your Ipod? In this article we find out how.

iPod skins protect the casing of your device, show off your interests, and give your device an entirely new look.  It's no surprise that they're so popular, or that there are so many to choose from.  It's also no surprise that you should want to create your own and, luckily, creating the perfect iPod skin is very easy.

 

The first step is to prepare yourself for the challenge of creating the skin.  For the perfect iPod skin, you will need to start from the perfect photo.  Something with mostly black or mostly white will work best because it will provide an easy contrast for the navigation wheel and make it seem to fade in to the skin. 

 

The second step is to find a site to create your skin.  While many sites will let you create your own, not many sites will let you do it in a way that allows you to preview the end product before you purchase; Wrappz.com does, and their “Create Your Own” software is on the front page.  Once you click it, you're going to be taken to a page that asks you to select your iPod.  Make sure that you select the right one, otherwise the skin may not fit correctly or at all.  Once you have done that, you're ready to begin creating.

 

In the beginning, I said that creating the skin was easy— it actually is.  If you found a photo in step one, all you will need to do is to click “Upload” and then select your image.  Wait for it to finish uploading, and then click “Browse”, click your image, and then pan it to fit your iPod the way that you want it to.  Once you have done this, you may decide that the picture you chose is not quite correct.  If that's the case, you may need to go back to step one and repeat.

 

When you're done creating your skin, you will want to Preview it one last time to be sure that it does indeed look like the perfect iPod skin, and then you will want to “Add To Cart” so that it can be purchased.  If you'd like, you can continue creating more skins and you can add all of those to the cart as well.  You're not limited to one skin.

 

If you have followed all of these instructions, you should have successfully managed to create a reflection of your self, your interests, and demonstrated your ability to do something very few people manage:  to create the perfect iPod skin.
