Save 50 percent on hundreds of Skinit decals for dozens of devices. Skinit

I'm a longtime fan of Skinit, which sells nifty vinyl "skins" (i.e. decals) for laptops, cell phones, MP3 players, and other devices.

These custom stickers are a great way to dress up otherwise drab gadgets. For example, I slapped a big ol' Michigan State University logo on the boring black lid of my Acer Aspire laptop.

From now until tomorrow (Oct. 22), Skinit is offering one of the best deals I've seen yet: 50 percent off all skins with coupon code HALFOFF.

Shipping will run you $2.99, unless your order tops $40, in which case it's free.

Skinit offers a gazillion designs, ranging from cars to sports to flags of the world. You can also create a custom skin by uploading your own photo or artwork.

The skins themselves are made of glossy 3M vinyl that promises to leave behind no residue if and when you decide to peel it off your hardware.

A 17-inch laptop skin usually sells for around $30, while an iPhone skin will run you $15. Cut those prices in half with the coupon and you've got some seriously good deals. Great gift item, too!
