I like to keep my gadgets looking new, but I am not a big fan of adding extra bulk to my gear. If you want to keep the scratches off things like your smartphone and your notebook GelaSkins has a cool line of protective coatings that feature Marvel superheroes.

The line includes a number of designs from popular comics like Ironman, X-Men, Spiderman, and more. You can get the skins for devices like the iPhone at about $15. Larger skins for notebooks cost $29.95.

The images look high quality and include a digital version you can use as a wallpaper or home screen image. If the Marvel skins are too geeky for you, other designs are available.
