    We’re big fans of Infectious, a startup that makes high quality decals and skins that let you customize the look of your iPhone, car, laptop, skateboards, and more. Today, the startup has launched Infectious skins for all current Blackberry models. Infectious now has designs for the Bold, Bold 9700, Storm2, Curve 8520, Curve 8530, Curve 8900 and Tour.

    Infectious launched nearly two years ago with large, vinyl decorative stickers for your car, and they released decorative iPhone covers just in time for the 2008 holiday season. The company has since expanded to include laptop skins, custom skateboard decks, and wall prints.

    Users can also craft their own designs or branded skins to make the service appealing to a much broader customer base. It’s kind of like a Threadless for skins. Other players in this space include Gelaskins and SkinIt.

    Infectious creates and sells art for your stuff. Think of it as adhesive self expression for iPods, iPhones, laptops, walls and cars. Our art is made of a durable and easy-to-remove 3M vinyl material. It has special “comply” cross-hatch channels so that you can push out any air bubbles really easily. They are easy to apply and easy to remove, allowing you to update your art whenever you want.
