Is that Coco Chanel cellphone applique you got at the mall starting to look a little...
last season? Kent Displays Reflex LCD Electronic Skins may be the perfect partner to your fickle ways, changing colors on demand to suit your every mood and/or outfit. The company first started
talking them up late last year and now is finally showing them off, flexible single-pixel displays with an eight-color range and the ability to be layered to form multiple color-changing regions, like logos for your next alternative advertising venture. Despite the demonstration videos below these still don't seem to be ready for consumer purchase, rather Kent appears to be looking for manufacturing partners. Hurry up and get those production lines working -- our corporate Blackberries aren't getting any more interesting by themselves.

That's kinda neat, would be cool on a car.
yep
I remember having a Matchbox Lamboghini that would change to hot pink (kinda gay) in ice water, then to white once it warmed up.
Bah
blackberries my ass... all of you have iphones and macbook pros and we all know it.
Too tacky for my taste and I love macs!
what do macs have to do with phones? unless you meant "apple products". silly female.
Obvious troll is obvious.
“That’s Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!”
Very cool tech, even though it's in it's early stages I can see this making a big impact in a lot of devices, not just cellphones.
imagine this tech being used with your tv...having the bezel match the wall the tv is on...gooood stuFf
that's kinda cool i guess. i'd rather see them try to make color changing fingernails like in total recall!
Here's the clip. It won't load when I go to YouTube to view it, so I'm just posting the link where it's at: http://www.denofgeek.com/misc/178030/top_sfx_shots_no18_total_recall.html
I read about this daaaaays ago... cool tech, though.
"Displays's"
How do you pronounce that?
I had a shirt that did this back in junior high ;)
What about those of us that look good in stripes?
That is interesting... However LCD for the case... One drop and the world will see your fumble...
Also the pattern one is basic, it just has 2 color cycling colors on a fixed pattern.
It is a good starting point...
I would love to see color e-paper in this instead. I think it would be cool to be able to upload a JPG or PNG to your phone/device and have it be the case design. THAT would rock! (Heck I would be happy with a B&W e-paper setup for now. Custom patterns/pics would be cool.) And e-paper would have less of an impact on the battery life.
Am I the only one who's thinking "21st century mood ring" here?
Or does that just say how old I am?
I'm looking forward to them covering virtually every consumer device with color e-ink skins.
oh my god...
