Cellular phone users like to be trendy and to have their cellular phones reflecting what they like and who they are far beyond what is available in the market. One option for those individualism and originality avid users is to change the outside skeleton of their cellular phone and replace it with one of the several mass produced ones; of course, this will provide them with just a specific degree of originality since there are more out there.
Others will tend to favor and take the risk of choosing “cellular painters”, workshops and underground stores that, in essence, strip the cellular phone, repaint the outside skeleton with any choice of spray paint that the customer wants and then refurbish the cellular phone with it’s “new repainted” skeleton. This might sound great, but it also is risky since spray paint will fade out quickly and the solvents used in this type of paint corrode the plastic outside skeleton of the cellular phone. The result is a corrupted outside skeleton that might damage the functionality of the cellular phone machinery.
The idea of individualizing a cellular phone is indeed a good idea and it will also function to protect it, but the owner needs to be extremely careful on how does he or she decide to make this happen, otherwise he or she will only ruin a perfectly good cellular phone and loose any and all data stored in it.
