San Francisco – December 15, 2008 – The Coveroo, a new electronic fashion accessory that takes your phone from drab to fab, is unveiled today – pioneering a world where personal electronics are truly personal. A Coveroo replaces the original back cover on your mobile device with a custom version that features lasered artwork from your favorite band, TV show, movie or artist. Coveroo launches with over 250 high-quality designs from leading brands – some of which are being made commercially available for the first time – such as AC/DC, Star Trek, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Barbie.

Getting a Coveroo is simple, inexpensive and quick –prices start at only $19.95 and holiday delivery is guaranteed if ordered by December 22, 2008. Go to www.coveroo.com, choose a phone model, and select your desired design or pick from a variety of fonts to have your name or initials etched. The folks at Coveroo will hand craft a new back cover for your phone and send it to you. Once received, you just slip off the old boring back cover and replace it with your new fashion-forward Coveroo. Coveroo early adopters and trend-setters looking to stand out, promote a cause or carry a reminder of their favorite things include a growing list of celebrities such as Dustin Hoffman, Eva Longoria and Paris Hilton.

“Consumers who are accustomed to instantly customizing everything about their online world are now demanding the same thing in the physical world,” said Karl Jacob, CEO of Coveroo. “Now they expect that anything can be a unique reflection of them – including personal electronics. On demand customization with the most popular designs is finally here and we are excited to deliver this product to consumers for the holidays.”

As part of the company’s debut, Coveroo also announced a partnership with Best Buy to provide its on-demand laser engraving at select stores nationwide. In addition to Best Buy customers being able to personalize their new purchases by adding custom Coveroos, they can also bring their existing devices into participating stores to be etched – a particularly appealing solution for Apple iPhone users.
