Pimp Your Flip Mino with Customizable Designs

The Flip Mino went the Zune route and introduced customizable patterns and images for its pocket-sized camcorder. Users can choose from a variety of exclusive-to-Mino designs, create a pattern of their own using Cafe Press software, or upload personal photographs and images to be plastered on the back of the $180 device.

The Website boasts some stellar designs that are sure to be popular, such as the Weezer decal and exclusive selections from Santa Cruz, an artist featured on the Rock Band video game.

The best feature is the ability to upload your own photographs. I assembled a Mino in 30 seconds by uploading a .jpg image, centering it, and filling it to the size of the device. This is a great way to engage in bragging rights. Designs can also be submitted to the Flip community, and if yours sells, you get $10. Proceeds can be taken home or donated to charity.

For its size, the Mino boasts decent specs. It comes with 2GB of memory for 60 minutes of 640 x 480 video recording, a rechargeable lithium ion battery, works on Windows and Mac, and sports a built-in flip-out USB arm for cordless transferring. Now that you can make a Mino unique to your own style, the purchase price seems more worthwhile.
