Photos: Coveroos offer custom fashion for phones

Looking for a way to personalize your boring old phone? A new product called a Coveroo replaces the original back cover of your mobile device with a customized cover featuring laser-etched artwork.

The service offers more than 250 designs from brands including the Beatles, AC/DC, Madonna, Star Trek, Family Guy, and Barbie, to name a few.

Here, a BlackBerry Pearl features Homer Simpson. If Homer's not your favorite Simpsons character, you can opt for Apu, Bart, Mr. Burns, or Waylon Smithers, among others.

If you want your phone to deliver an environmental or political message, that's possible too. The idea behind Coveroos is that consumers want to make their personal electronics, just that--personal.
