Gifting Challenge Series: The Gadget Lover

Posted by Sam, Editorial Intern at Makeably

Finding the perfect gift for the techie in your life is not easy. Usually this friend runs out to get the latest phone, tablet, or computer the second it comes out - leaving you feeling out-of-date with your own technology...and with a lack of gift ideas.

But this creates the perfect opportunity to think outside the box! The gadget lover may have the coolest gear, but it means nothing without the perfect case. Here is a roundup of our favorite customizable cases:

Custom Metal iPhone Skin, by Luxe Plates 

Take any black and white image and have it converted into this awesome chemically etched stainless steel iPhone cover.   

Geeky Gadget Cover from My Geeky Boyfriend

These gadget cases (for iPads, cell phones, eReaders, and laptops) are perfect for satisfying the endearing nerdiness in every techie. We love these quirky Star Wars ones, made in honor of your favorite character. 

Crochet iPhone Cases from Louie's Loops

These cases can be made for the iPhone 4 or 5, and they are like a pair of warm gloves for any gadget lover's phone. Choose from an array of colors, and you can even create a case with a cool design like the one below:
