When it comes to skins for the BlackBerry, one could be talking about a number of things. One might reference a BlackBerry skin when they are talking about the various silicone gel cases that are available to protect your Storm from bumps and bruises. On the other hand, one might also reference BlackBerry skins when referring to the copious amounts of vinyl decals that can be applied to your BlackBerry without voiding your warranty.

In either instance, the discussion is usually directed towards customization of your BlackBerry so that it broadcasts your unique style to the world. Nobody wants their BlackBerry to look exactly like the one the person next to them is holding.
