I'm the resident RedEye geek with an eye towards all things geek and nerd-related; comics, video games, RPG's and the latest nerd tech!

When I see stuff like this, I become a little more jealous of Scott Kleinberg and his fellow iPhone owning brethren.  Gelaskins Inc. has a new line of appliques for iPhones, iPods and laptops that feature characters from Marvel Comics:

The comic-book cover designs are pretty cool and they look like they mesh well with the overall look of the devices.
