More about the book from the publisher :

“Discover 35 ways to make your tech match your personal style. Nowadays, everyone has their tech–cell phones, laptops, e-readers, and tablets, as well as music players and digital cameras. Store-bought covers and accessories can be expensive and are not unique–so what if you could customize them yourself at a fraction of the price? Here, Lucy Hopping shows you how to do just that. In chapter 1, Decorate Your Tech, discover how to personalize your tech: for example, use washi tape for colorful phone cases and keyboards, add beads or braids to your headphone leads, and attach cute designs made from Fimo clay onto your USB flash drives. Chapter 2, Protect Your Tech, offers a variety of cases to keep your tech safe from damage but looking good. The phone covers include a fabric popsicle, contemporary cross stitch, and laser cut designs, while you can make tablet covers from felt or an old hardcover book. There’s an oilcloth tablet case too, which is wipe-clean and can be stood upright, making it perfect for following online recipes in the kitchen. Finally, Chapter 3, Keep Your Tech, is about giving your tech a home, whether to store it, carry it around with you, or simply identify it as yours in a household with several tech users. Make the gorgeous vintage book laptop case, or a simple holder for your phone while it’s charging (preventing it from lying on the floor where it can be trodden on); plus an armband pouch to hold a phone or music player while you’re out running, or a pretty woven strap for your camera. The projects in this book use a range of easy craft techniques, including papercraft and sewing. For those keen on working with yarn, there are even knitted touchscreen gloves and a crocheted camera case. Each project has clear step-by-step artworks and there’s a section that explains all the techniques you’ll need, so you don’t have to be an expert to start making your tech world more beautiful.”
